support from ASSIST really makes a difference
Recently, an ex-client visited our offices with chocolates for the ASSIST team.🍫

He wanted to share some news: he’s received his Leave to Remain and is working! When he first came to us, he was destitute. Our support provided the foundation he needed to progress his claim and rebuild his life. (1⬇)

Those who resist technopoly are people who:

9. admire technological ingenuity but do not think it represents the highest possible for of human achievement.

sparkling asymmetry and a teardrop.. 'the great white silence' film by HP is amazing too
This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,

The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance

Iconic imo

An excellent YouTube essay: 'homophily' is a very useful concept and Barry explains it brilliantly.

Great work.

Take some well-deserved time off with Glenn Gould & his seatless old chair performing - & humming along to - JS Bach's Goldberg Variations in 1981. This performance lasted 13 minutes longer than his 1955 recording, & IMO those 13 minutes make all the difference.

Nothing but repeats on TV this evening, folks, so how about a game of dominoes instead? Confession: I'd never heard of artist Horace Pippin (1888 to 1946) till about 10 minutes ago but I love his work already.
