I had an amazing time chatting with Sandee at @leftofthebox.bsky.social. Don't miss the talk and follow her! She's incredibly insightful on current events and has so much to share.

Mask rules, vaccine requirements, and social distancing—these are the mandates designed to prevent the spread of diseases like measles and COVID-19. Now Florida is rolling them back, risking hospital overloads and community chaos in the name of “freedom.”

Imagination is resistance, @ruha9.bsky.social reminds us that, " we need to reject the gospel that says technology is inevitable, that the train has left the station... In an error of automated bullshit, it’s time to become bullshit detectors," #MozFest

“In an era of automated bullshit,” Dr. @ruha9.bsky.social asks us to tell the truth! Starting with the fact that innovation often depends on exploitation… so social progress can never be taken for granted. What are we building? For whom? With whom? #MozFest

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

Already seeing some terrible takes on here about supporting science re the puberty blocker trial. Science that is unethical & designed terribly, influenced by those who don't want us to exist, is never ever going to lead to useful outcomes. & this trial will cause immense harm to participants.

🚨 Yet again Ted Cruz and Steve Scalise are trying to sneak in a moratorium on state GenAi legislation. If passed states can no longer enact laws for transparency, child safety, privacy, environmental protection etc. We got 3 days to stop this. Call now! www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

I need everyone, esp anyone working in education or tech (but really everyone) to WATCH THIS CLIP of @drtanksley.bsky.social discussing the technologies infiltrating our schools & psyches and how she is addressing it with our young people. youtu.be/5mtcSL4S3HQ

I love yuri, there's so many wonderful manga about romance between women that tell some incredible (or simply sweet) love stories But I ADORE aromantic and/or ace girls in yuri! As an aroace himejoshi lesbian, I ADORE aspec characters in yuri manga, so here's a 🧵 compiling a bunch of those:

In case you didn't know what The Bad Guys is called in Germany

In case anyone's unsure, the company lists their vine revival project right next to their generative AI project. You can see for yourself on their website, towards the bottom of the page: andotherstuff.org

lol I fucking knew that little shit wasn't to be trusted. Avoid the new Vine like a plague, they just want a pure dataset to scrape.

Look. I don't remember making this one. And tbh? Not my finest work.

France has added Musk’s Grok to an ongoing cybercrime investigation after it produced French-language posts echoing Holocaust denial about Auschwitz.

I've had quite a lot of new people follow me this week so time for some Romancing the Gothic recs! Romancing the Gothic runs free talks on all things Gothic, horror and the supernatural. We have a backlog of hundreds of classes! Give me a topic you're interested in, and I'll see what we've got :)

I'm not going to share the book, but I just read the worst description of the skin colour of a Black person I've ever seen. As a public service, I'm just going to say that Black skin can range from the palest yellow, through red, through a multitude of brown shades, all the way to really dark blue.

It's not just laws about books that are breaking libraries. Several states have passed property tax reforms–or are in the process of passing them–that are dismantling, destroying, and defunding these public institutions of democracy. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

decades of watching incredible women reporters be accused of this kind of bullshit while they struggle to get recognition for amazing work meanwhile this hack was actually doing it and being called a generational writing talent for it

As we continue to approach BE NOT AFRAID's release on December 9th, I thought I could share some fun facts about my horror novella. I think they're fun, anyway. Preorder my horror novella feat. a guitarist's very bad night & some violent angels today! ➡️ books.earlronove.com/benotafraid

And all of the 220 children , including the ‘fortunate’ 110 who enter the early stage of the trial will have to have to have had persisting gender incongruence for at least 2 years before acceptance into the trial, which has persisted after other psychological interventions have been exhausted.

Of these 220 children…only half, 110, will get treatment on entering the trial…the other half have to wait a year…whilst the researchers charged with their ‘care’ monitor their likely growing distress.

I won’t say what I want to say but this is unethical. You don’t put 7.3% of cancer patients on a treatment and leave the rest to see how they get on. Trans healthcare is the only branch where this is allowed to happen. Puberty blockers were the compromise and they’ve taken that away.

Going through old photos to find something & spotted this. One of my favouritest photos from Jam bookshop ever
