I know, my friend,
that change can be difficult,
and wearing a mask
and taking precautions
will require you
to make changes,
but considering
that a study has found
“Long COVID
may be triggering
Alzheimer’s-like changes
in the brain,”
it seems you can change
or you can be changed.
GenAI is so unethical and linked to far right politics across the pond. Using it is funding maga.
Love that article!
Thanks for sharing this. Hadn’t seen it yet!
When I get really annoyed I make a show of using a rake on the front lawn and they all look at me like 🤯😱.

Young people are locked out of opportunities their older siblings took for granted. A UK–EU youth visa deal could begin to change that.

My mother who has Alzheimer’s is in a care home nursing ward in the UK. Her predominantly immigrant carers are wonderful, gentle, kind, and humane people who treat her with dignity and respect. They are short-staffed, under-paid, work long shifts. They also support my Dad who visits daily.
I love that there is peer reviewed research calling ChatGPT bullshit so much 😭
An email is on its way out to our members regarding strategies for navigating cuts to federal grant funding. However, we wanted to share that information here as well. We have aggregated information for actions regarding NEH grants, which include broader strategies as well.
It’s a mistake to reduce the excellent drama ‘Adolescence’ to a discussion of how social media fuels violence and misogyny in boys and men. It also highlights the terrible state of the education system in the UK and multigenerational trauma from male violence
