Right, so. Re: "BlueSky will implode."

There will never be a social media platform that enables you to have the degree of security, freedom, and privacy that many of you seem to desire because the problems with these platforms aren't technical, they're social. Further, they're uniquely social.

Instead of "the left isn't paying enough attention to these machine gods" they're claiming to build, perhaps we should write an article about how effective altruists brand themselves "left", ask who is writing these articles, and trace their cults and sources of funding.

As AI enters the operating room, reports arise of botched surgeries and misidentified body parts Medical device makers have been rushing to add AI to their products. While proponents say the new technology will revolutionize medicine, regulators are receiving a rising number of claims of patient ...

“Researchers from Johns Hopkins, Georgetown and Yale universities recently found that 60 FDA-authorized medical devices using AI were linked to 182 product recalls, according to a research letter published in the JAMA Health Forum in August.”

Alice Wong, disability rights advocate and wordsmith, dies at 51 Alice Wong, a transformational leader for disability rights and justice, who founded the Disability Visibility project to magnify disabled culture, died Nov. 14.

A nice obituary for Alice, who was going to be recognized as one of The Post 50.

I hate that we now have to live without this phenomenal woman.

Today I‘m attending the transdisciplinary transfeminism conference at the Goethe university in Frankfurt (Main)!

I’m talking on the intersection of Crip, Queer and Transfeminist Theory in context of future- and technology-making.

Very excited! Nervous too, tho

Additionally, I guess The New York Times didn’t get the memo on Jasbir Puar‘s „homonationalism“

Beautiful, disgusting and apt prose. Love it! <3 *snaps with fingers*

Fight the naturalist fantasy of a stable biological body as grounds for politics and culture across time and space.

It‘s pride month

Fight transnormativity, policing which expressions of transness seem „acceptable and redeemable“, defining who is worthy to be a rights-bearing subject.

Fight the singularization of narratives trans people get to have. There is more than „born this way“.

Das ist doch absurd grausam.

The guy whose daddy bought his way into Wharton, the guy whose grades were so shitty he's never disclosed them – that guy just destroyed the Department of Education. This is what dystopia looks like. This is what Fascism looks like.

Breaking News: Aus Bürgergeld soll „Grundsicherung für Arbeitssuchende“ werden. Möge die SPD jämmerlich zugrunde gehen.

Queer als unterdrückungsbewusste Hinterfragung der Konzepte des Menschseins.

Im Detail stellen sich dann Fragen wer wie (sicher) reclaimen kann (Whiteness protects quite a bit against Dehumanization and weirdness), aber das ist ein deep dive für ein anderes Mal und nicht als für comment 3/3

Ich vermute, dass einigen die Teilablehnung des Menschlichen Angst macht, weil die Aberkennung des Personhood-Status auch mit Entrechtlichung einhergeht.

Für mich ist es aber ein Reclaiming der Dehumanisierung indem das Nicht-Menschliche aufgewertet wird. 2/3

Agreed. Potenzial des boundary blurring liegt in kinship jenseits des Menschlichen und Verbreiterung von personhood auf non-humanoide. Statt humanoide Exzeptionalität, Redefinition als Teil vom ökologischen Netzwerk. 1/3

Sozialpolitik für soziale Gerechtigkeit ist antifaschistische Basisarbeit und entzieht rechten Ideologien den Nährboden.

ME/CFS wurde in der bis 2023 gültigen S3-Leitlinie „Funktionelle Körperbeschwerden“ als psychosomatisches Syndrom definiert. Demnach verursachen oder verschlimmern Betroffene ihre körperlichen Beschwerden u.a. durch dysfunktionale Gedanken, Vermeidungsverhalten, Dekonditionierung oder falscher Ursachenüberzeugungen [22]. Dementsprechend werden auch bei Long COVID psychosoziale Faktoren als verursachend und aufrechterhaltend angenommen [23]. Die der o.g. Leitlinie gemäße Behandlung zielt auf den Abbau fehlerhafter Krankheitsüberzeugung und die Steigerung der körperlichen Belastungsfähigkeit, empfohlen werden Psychotherapie, Psychopharmaka, Physio- und Bewegungstherapie sowie aktivierende Rehabilitation [22]. 72% der hier Befragten berichten von entsprechenden Behandlungen bzw. Behandlungsempfehlungen, insbesondere körperlicher Aktivierung. 56% geben an, dass sich ihr Gesundheitszustand infolge ärztlich veranlasster Untersuchungen oder Behandlungen verschlechtert hat.

Ich frage mich, wann sich die Psychosomatik für all das Leid und die toten Menschen mit ME/CFS verantworten werden muss. Ich werde darauf hinarbeiten, dies noch zu erleben.

Gute Studie zur (Nicht-)Versorgung von Long Covid und ME/CFS.

I am so glad that I read Nik Brown‘s „Hope Against Hype – Accountability in Biopasts, Presents and Futures“ in my STS master. Made me sensitive to the discrepancy of hype and actual outcomes of tech. Made me wary of promises and invested in pulling back curtains of the mobilized futures politics.

Parteivorsitzender Jan van Aken (Die Linke) | Bundestagswahl 2025 - Jung & Naiv: Folge 745 YouTube video by Jung & Naiv

Was @iotemka.bsky.social sagt, plus: mit beiden wird andere Ansätze der Möglichkeiten diskutiert, abseitig einer unwahrscheinlichen territoriale Aufteilung. Jan von Aken hat in den ersten 30 Min des Interviews bei Jung & Naiv darüber geredet. Das fand ich erhellend: www.youtube.com/live/ls0tBHg...

Eine der beeindruckendsten Zahlen der Wahl in Deutschland ist für mich das Ausrinnen der FDP(!) zur AfD. 890.000 Wähler_innen sind von der (ohnehin schon kleinen) FDP zur AfD gewandert. Über diese Liberalismus-zu-Rechtsextremismus-Pipeline muss man mal ordentlich diskutieren.

Trump is unleashing sadism upon the world. But we cannot get overwhelmed | Judith Butler Those who celebrate his defiance and sadism are as claimed by his logic as those who are paralyzed with outrage

Butler, on point:

"Those who celebrate his defiance and sadism are as claimed by his logic as those who are paralyzed with outrage. Perhaps it is time to stand apart from these passions to see how they work, but also to find passions of our own: ..."

Post by taliabhattwrites: Epistemicide" is a term you should become very familiar with in all discussions regarding trans oppression. It sounds fancier than it is. The term is related to the concept of epistemic injustice. In essence, trans people have historically been subject to a form of epistemicide: our stories, histories, testimonials, ways of life, all erased and buried to maintain the patriarchal myth of dichotomous, naturalized, immutable sex. We are then further marginalized through epistemic injustice, prevented from participating in the processes of knowledge-production, our testimonies devalued, our voices suppressed and our identities defined for us, not by us. The perception of us shaped by others, instead of ourselves. The conversation about us dominated by the voices of those who'd rather stamp us out, shouting over us constantly. If you're not accounting for this as a central mechanism animating transphobia, you're missing a lot of the picture.

Epistemicide is going on in the USA atm. Ressources, knowledge and access are destroyed with the primary goal of complete eradication of marginalized communities.

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.

Tweet from Musk at 1:41 in the morning of 2. September 2024, writing „interesting observation“ with quote tweeting Autism Capital, which writes „Also known as the Reich effect“ above a screenshot from a 4C post, saying: „People who can't defend themselves physically (women and low T men) parse information through a consensus filter as a safety mechanism. They literally do not ask "is this true", they ask "will others be OK with me thinking this is true". This makes them very malleable to brute force manufactured consensus; if every screen they look at says the same thing they will adopt that position because their brain interprets it as everyone in the tribe believing it. Only high T alpha males and aneurotypical people (hey autists!) are actually free to parse new information with an objective "is this true?" filter. This is why a Republic of high status males is best for decision making. Democratic, but a democracy only for those who are free to think.“

Thanks for sharing! I’ve read some, know of most and added those I’m not familiar with. 🫶🏻
