New research maps the campaign to erase trans people from UK data 🔢
This peer-reviewed article offers the first detailed account of how UK campaign groups have sought to define sex as strictly biological across the census, policing, healthcare and digital ID.

Little Shahd cannot sleep.
She trembles from the cold on a mattress soaked with rain, and our tent has turned into a pool of water.
Our children only ask for a little warmth, but we don’t even have a roof to protect us.
We need a tent before the winter slowly kills us.💔

No mercy. We are homeless, sleeping in the open under the sky. My family's life is in danger; we need 100 euros to buy a tent so we can survive this winter. Be our hope when we lose everything. Help us survive. 🆘💔🇵🇸

This is a fantastic article with a lot of simple explanations in it of everyday counterintuitive bullshit, just as you’d expect from Cory Doctorow.
Yeah AI is a bubble. But what sort of bubble? Who puffed it up? And what do we do?

AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage | Cory Doctorow
AI is asbestos in the walls of our tech society, stuffed there by monopolists run amok. A serious fight against it must strike at its roots

Gaza
is not a breaking news headline,
nor just a statistic in the evening bulletin.
Gaza
is an open window despite the rubble,
a voice insisting on life
when the world thinks silence is easier.
Gaza does not ask for pity,
but for recognition:
that life here
still loves,
and is still worth living.

Ah, the joy of the neurodivergent issue of having urgent things to do, but not being able to start them until the new notebook ordered specifically for them arrives.

So, so true.
If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

Astonished at the number of creative intelligent discerning people who casually use “I asked Chat GPT” when talking about their daily lives.
AI is bad, the work of bad people, who hate you, normalised with bad intent.
You wouldn’t say “I wrote to the Daily Mail”
I wish people had more shame.

I've got nothing to add really 🙌
Using AI to produce art is more than a mere difference of opinion. It is a choice to deprive yourself of the entire justification for existence. You are free, in the abstract, to make that choice. But you harm more than yourself when you do. I will not pretend otherwise.

Here's my two pennies' worth on that issue, from a Neurodivergent (and anti-capitalist) perspective 🧵:

In terms of neurodevelopmental conditions like ADHD and autism it's lack of societal awareness and understanding and unwillingness of many workplaces to make adjustments that makes people quit: its not that they're unfit to work, it's that the work market is not a right fit for ND people.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Heba. Heba made cakes before the war (her insta has many examples) but she lost her home and all her supplies. She’s hoping to replace them so she can support her children Waseem, 20 (who is injured), Wadih, 17, Tala, 15 and Elias, 8

Aya and Majd need support, as they're struggling with health-related costs and other costs of surviving ongoing genocide.
Please share her posts and support them if you can: Aya is an absolute hero and has been performing true miracles caring for her family ♥️

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed is 22 and was studying electrical engineering (you can read about his family in the 🧵 ). He’s trying to help his family including his pregnant sister Rasha and his 4 year old nephew Khamis who started kindergarten yesterday!

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
