Locks will make you free, too.
Privacy is a human right because it is a necessary part of individual self defence. We use locks to protect our privacy, and our privacy allows us the freedom to think what we like and do what we want.
Digital privacy is just as important ~ if not more so ~ than physical privacy.

This is not exactly what this gorgeous bit of building actually looks like when the ivy isn’t obscuring the details… I’ve taken the liberty of touching the image up, as well as digitally removing a jumble of the ugly wires that had been een stuck on the bricks.
Yesterday we would have liked to attend the Waterloo Region LRT Open House but there were ridiculous lineups from the start so we gave it a miss. We’ll be seeing the wee beasties soon enough, methinks.
We saw two hawks flying around (courtship?) beside the highway on the way to Kitchener yesterday, but of course I didn’t have my camera out to get photos of them gliding and soaring above our car.
When we headed home I had my camera out but all I saw was this guy walking at the side of the road.

“The Public Library is absolutely wonderful in its entirety, at once an ode to the glory of our most democratic institutions and a culturally necessary prompt to defend them like we would defend our freedom to live, learn, and be — a freedom to which the library is our highest celebration.”

I really like this Little Free Library as it is clearly created from bits & pieces.
Even gargoyles that aren’t especially ugly can be a little bit creepy if they make you feel watched.
