Excited to announce that I can now call myself Official Interpreter of the Grand Lodge of England.
I'm humbled and most grateful to all fellow freemasons and colleagues who've helped make this dream come true. You know who you are.

Thought for the day: just because #Trump says that #interpreters are very important (and then goes on to diss a series of them with much delight) it may not necessarily be a good idea to share the video as PR for the profession. I for one don't want that man's endorsement. #1nt
#AI is showing up in courtrooms and raising serious questions for court reporters and #interpreters. The @najitorg.bsky.social Observer recently published a thought-provoking ethics scenario.

Square graphic with beige background. Top third features copy: Line 1 in "hand-drawn" desert orange font reads, "Curious about AI in T&I?"; line 2 in futuristic black block font reads "VOLUNTEER"; line 3 in same font as line 1 reads: "Join NOTIS's new AI Committee!" Bottom half features four raised hands of different colors; 1, 2, and 4 look human, if hand-drawn, whereas 3 is clearly robotic. The NOTIS logo (square, stacked version with mountain and pine tree in dark blue and green) adorns the bottom right corner.
