Specifically seeking 2 co-organisers proficient in Android & Linux. You can run your own IT business - this complements, not competes.

Together we'd set the standard for how privacy help reaches people. Continuity matters: if one of us steps back, the mission carries on.

Interested? DM me. Let's talk structure, purpose, and impact.

The people who'll show up on First Sundays are watching this space. Let's give them something worth showing up for.

🇿🇦 Launching https://di.day/en in Gauteng, South Africa — free data privacy & protection help, every 1st Sunday of the month, for those who need it most.

I'm donating my time (Linux/iOS expertise) to make digital independence accessible. But this isn't a solo mission. I need 2 passionate co-organisers/co-founders to build this with me — and ensure it outlasts any one person.

Home — Digital Independence Day

On the first Sunday of each month we organise Digital Independence Day. This is when we reclaim our digital freedom and switch to democracy-friendly digital alternatives.

I was asked my the Communications team at work to participate in African World Heritage Day on Tuesday. I'll share my post here on the day but thought some of the photos I sent were actually quite lovely.

This one is of Johannesburg in spring when the jacaranda is blooming. If I recall correctly, I took it through my rose-tinted sunglasses.

Any Jo'burg photographers on here? I'd love to connect. I've been back in UK for almost 20 years but I spent 25 years in Jo'burg

Ah Jozi how I've missed you. It's great to be back. ❤️ #Jozi #Johannesburg #Melville #SouthAfrica

Johannesburg's inner city is a beautiful place, it has long been neglected and left to criminals and gangs. Hope this current partnership comes to something.

Take a walk in downtown Joburg and see the impossible made possible

The Johannesburg Inner City Partnership is transforming the downtown area into a ‘walkable city’ with solar lighting, clean streets and vibrant public spaces. ‘You want vibrance. You want people walking around, going to the shops, going to school,’ says CEO David van Niekerk.

In a rather lovely cosmic coincidence, degrowth researchers launch a manifesto 'Housing (for) a post-growth world' this week. Their proposals are echoed in my novel Well Housed where housing is a city resource distributed by the Housing Office.

Do you think it's possible for a city to provide free and equal housing?

One reviewer, in her 5-star review of my novel Well Housed said: 'The book took me from skepticism (“there’s no way this could ever happen”) to genuine curiosity (“what if something like this could work?”).'
