The dead relative AI shit comes down to autonomy. The dead can't speak for themselves, so putting words in their mouth is disrespectful to who they were, but also create delusions and distortions of their memory. The thought of someone posthumously putting words in my lifeless skull is enraging.

I missed this amazing presentation of the manosphere at the end of October, but wow this is really worth your time: www.theguardian.com/technology/n...

the full quote here english.elpais.com/culture/2024...

last night at a formal event (more on this later) my work was described as “keeping the AI industry in check” a nice lady from another table walks over & asks me: “my sister asked chatGPT how to get a pay rise & the answer boiled down to “become a man”. why did that happen & how do we fix it?”

An attempt to write about what Alice Wong and her work have meant to me. In my grief & rage at her passing, #SuckItAbleism is the phrase I offer in place of #RIP. www.lisadiedrich.org/thoughts/ali...

Según yo ya súper no es temporada, pero paso por un frutería que sigue vendiendo mamey y les agradezco que -aunque no están súper dulces ni tienen color intenso- me han permitido hacer dulce y licuados estos días 🤭 El mamey es una fruta superior.

They're de-banking people for kink content online now They'll come for you and your interests next - there's already been movement against vtubers in general, and games like Corpse Party are having their western releases canned over concerns about this stuff Get loud before it's too late

Archívese bajo: Reflexiones sucintas resultado de terapia para procesar los últimos 5 años de trabajo (abusos y desazón) en la “sociedad civil” ONGera y sus roces con (el deterioro de los) movimientos sociales 🥲

Que haya a quienes la apuesta política les importe lo suficiente como para señalar lo que otres no topan, no les “afecta” o de plano solapan (por ignorancia o complicidad) a costa de la “la ilusión de comunidad” es importante para la resiliencia de cualquier movimiento.

En conclusión: cuando la “no confrontación” reina por su conveniente comodidad y el fascismo se cuela por las grietas de la falta de apuestas políticas sostenidas en una base de trabajo comunitario/principios claros, cualquiera puede “cooptar” los guiños de la justicia social y tergiversarlos.

People really think the primary connection between disability & SW is disabled clients. But a disproportionate number of SW are disabled ourselves. You only don't know that bc it doesn't fit the stereotypes that claim disabled people aren't sexy & SW all look the same

I have a new essay coming out next week so stay tuned! since one of the ppl I critique in it is a hardcore "gamete truther", I figured I'd re-up this – discusses both the actual biology & the bonkers anti-trans talking point that's grown out of it (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...

I really really wish more people understood how toxic AI is. It's not taking over menial work so the human experience can be enhanced. It's poorly replicating work people actually *like* doing at a cost that makes its poor quality worth it to C Suites. It is explicitly anti-worker, and anti-art.

🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ La identidad de una persona no le hace representante de todas las experiencias de quienes comparten esa identidad ni mucho menos representante de movimientos sociales/políticos que reivindiquen esa identidad. Mientras las dinámicas de poder les pasen de noche, los sesgos simplones proliferarán

Here is an obituary for Alice Wong from The Sick Times, a publication aligned with disability rights and disability activism, if you are looking for an alternative to reading the nyt one: thesicktimes.org/2025/11/15/a...

Mexico is a neoliberal dystopia, basically... it sucks.

About today’s “GenZ protest” in Mexico: foreigners please be aware that this was not rooted in the movement that originated in Nepal, this was a narrative takeover by the Mexican far-right. Not a protest, not a social movement: a display of the political rot within a deeply disenfranchised society.

For all the anglophones who don't keep track of Mexican politics: -Yes, MORENA (the ruling party right now) sucks. -This protest is organized by a lot of right wingers and outright fascists who want to capitalize on the "Gen Z" movement that has shaken Nepal, Philippines, Morocco, etc.

Oigan… ¿Alguien ubica de qué es esta bandera? Hace poco vi un post por acá que citaba una publicación de este grupo, pero no les ubico y no encuentro aquel post 😅 Invoco a @imperatorgabs.bsky.social @ayax.bsky.social @en-ri-que.bsky.social @chicxsinportico.bsky.social @ce-miquiztetl.bsky.social 👀

Nestlé worried AI will destroy world’s water supply before they do

In memory of Alice Wong, the 10 Principles of Disability Justice. May she rest in power sinsinvalid.org/10-principle...

“In this moment, there is a beautiful hope that exists in this solidarity and that people are standing up for what is right,” said an organizer.

Brit is right. If the line is death threats the post she screenshotted absolutely crosses the line in a more blatant, violent & explicit way than either Link (who got perma banned) or Sarah (who got 72 hour ban) posted. What bluesky is saying is that those in/with power are exempt.

Llevo +/- un mes en otra certificación en trauma y acompañamiento psicosocial* que me motiva mucho, pero pues esta mirada académica (+europea) sobre el dolor psíquico y las experiencias no hegemónicas me bajonea En particular hay una persona facilitadora que cada clase mete la pata durísimo 🫠 [1/3]

bringing this statement over from Alice’s Twitter. it appears the below was Alice’s last post before passing. I am heartbroken

Acá viene un adelanto de _Poesía y desempleo. Ahora con más poesía y más desempleo_, con nuevos ensayos de @atahualpa.bsky.social, gracias a Bibiana Camacho y a Sergio, y al maravilloso Taller Editorial Cáspita Acá un adelanto: www.razon.com.mx/el-cultural/...

“GenerativeAI isn’t magic. It’s the product of millions of invisible creators—poets, coders, photographers, musicians—whose work has been harvested, scraped, & absorbed into AI models without consent or compensation… This is not innovation. It is expropriation.” —Otti Vogt

your dead AI mother loves you so much ❤️

Just an incalculable loss from which we won’t soon recover. Alice was the best of us and I hope we all do (or keep doing) the kind of good work that burnishes her memory. Fuck ableism. “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.”

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

Silicon Valley, 1990s: Free and open access to all the world’s knowledge will usher a new utopian age of information! Silicon Valley, 2025:

Hi! I wrote a thing about swimming and trans athletes and [*checks notes*] Santana for @defector.com, would mean a lot if you give it a read

In the conclusion, Gill-Peterson discusses activist Marlene Wayar’s work on travesti in Argentina & her theory & practice of “the good enough.” “Travesti politics, in Wayar’s terms, are about what’s good enough for everyone, not perfection for some & suffering for others.”

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

What’s behind Silicon Valley’s psychotic break with reality? Welcome to Apocalypse Capitalism. As one prominent tech VC put it: “Maybe if you aren’t trying to destroy the world, you’re not trying hard enough.” www.thenerdreich.com/silicon-vall...
