More than once I've then been offered either a discount or an alternative (I've made websites in trade for sessions, and also developed a mobile app for a workers' civvy business).

But I would never feel comfortable initiating this - always needs to come from the SW themselves.

I personally could never try and negotiate rates with any worker. Like many of us I have less cash lying around lately, but that's my problem, not yours.

If a SW who I've seen regularly gets in contact and asks if I'd like to make a booking, I'm always honest if I can't afford it.

Gitmo is my guess. Establish the US-backed puppet government. They will indict Maduro and request him back.

Here in Vic we have the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities - but Parliament can (and does) override it regularly.

X’s gr0k AI is also happily doxxing people so I wouldn’t consider it a safe platform for anyone who values anonymity or needs to protect their identity for work or other reasons.

So useful (and detailed). Thanks Ember!

Indeed - I love it when I am merely going about my day and the memory of beautiful moments in time spent with those we cherish flits across my consciousness.

I suspect ‘Michael’s middle-name may be ‘ChatGPT’. No current practicing certificate matching that name in Victoria, NSW, SA, TAS, QLD or WA.

Plus, a year 10 work experience kid could write a better cease and desist letter.
