Extract from a book suggesting the people who commit atrocities are not ‘them’ but ‘us’
Terry Pratchett.
Utterly disgusted at the current state of things but still want to be creative without worrying about AI theft. So, I have bought myself a vintage spinning wheel and some spindles and am currently learning how to spin wool and flax.
No internet on a spinning wheel. Thank fuck.
Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.
I’m looking for speakers for a London event on the science of Star Trek. I’d really appreciate suggestions from underrepresented minorities in STEM, especially PoC/global majority.
(10 min, central London, Sept, currently unpaid but I’m trying to fix that)

Warning UK at risk of being pulled into illegal war
Why is Keir Starmer utterly incapable of saying no to Donald Trump?
Our national security requires us not to be dragged into illegal wars.
The Prime Minister is making us less safe. Did we learn nothing from Iraq?
For years we said they’re going for a genocide of trans people and for years we were told to “stop being so dramatic.”
Now we’re at the point of human experimentation with the explicit goal of eradicating us.
Can we call the genocide a fucking genocide now?
Supporting GenAI is a right-wing position.
Yes, really.
AI data centres poison the environment, disproportionately affect low-income areas, and are owned and operated by technofascists. GenAI directly benefits the owning class while physically harming workers and pushing them out of their jobs.
Lots of ways to help trans people in this thread:

This is what I need cis folks to understand.
It's been a decade.
Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it
If Reform win due to enough people being misled by this leaflet then there is no debate that the Labour “country of strangers” party prefers the far right to the progressive left
Emotional day yesterday. Clearing out a cupboard and found a bag of Miri's fur. She passed away in Nov '23 and now I desperately wish I could afford a spinning wheel to see if can still be used. I found a cheap old one but still out of my range. I'd use a spindle but the pups would play with it
Fuck AI.
I can't even stay awake when I start writing and I'm still just plugging away and doing my own work.
I try and look up anything these days and everything is just AI bullshit. I'm fucking exhausted at this point and considering learning how to make my own website for my hobbies.
Thinking of putting two labels on my next book.
1. WRITTEN BY A HUMAN.
2. NOT FOR FUCKWITS.
Israel condemns hateful and racist greens.
For years we've seen an ongoing genocide.
It's been backed by right wing papers, the US President and by this Labour Government.
There is a lot of talk about artificial intelligence, but I personally think that we should try to give biological intelligence another shot.
Trying to use your brain now and again does not pollute the air, poison our water, or rise our climate, and it may even be good for the people doing it.
Wes Streeting and Louis Appleby should go to prison over this. It's a massive scandal and they covered it up. They knew what they were doing restricting access to care and they did it anyways because of politics.
May Wes Streeting's political downfall be swift and emotionally painful. Prison would be nice too for the damage these ghouls have caused.
I'm done being civil about this. Civility doesn't save lives.
Jon Del Arroz | Pop Culture & Ga... • X.com @jondelarroz Now they're making a Masters of the Universe and giving He-man pronouns. These people won't stop until they ruin everything.
the woke mob is giving He-man pronouns
Virgin Active call themselves an LGBTQ+ ally, but decided to ban trans people from using their changing rooms and bathrooms... so we created a new slogan for them 👀
We need to make make as much noise as possible and make Virgin Active feel the pressure.

My dog is sick, she's not eating, we have no idea what's going on. Every vet/emergency hospital in the are requires upfront payment just to be seen. Please, I really need help. I only have $18, and I dont know what im gonna do

I knew my social anxiety was bad but jfc
The neighbour knocked today to ask about a parcel and I've been fighting with mass anxiety to not have a panic attack since. It's been an hour. They just asked about a parcel.
The chest tightening is driving me nuts.
Wish I could afford therapy.
Boris Johnson says these are just common sense and reasonable statements

On a more cheerful note, I've got a new fruit tree. A Rio Star grapefruit to add to my growing collection of citrus. It unfortunately had a broken branch but I've taken some cuttings from it, so hopefully they root.
There are some exceptions (I'm married to a cis guy) but I am fucking done with so many cis people.
No trust.
Not unless you show a backbone and actually stand with us. Same for any minority.
Trans rights. Free Palestine. BLM. Fuck ableism. Tear down capitalism and build something better.
"But she said she supports trans people, isn't that enough for you?!"
