Also, "underage women" isn't a thing. If they're under age, they're not women. That's what under age literally means.

Anyone who says, "an intern must have done this" has no idea about how social media management operates at this level. Posting AI slop is a very deliberate choice. Especially for an institution this big.
The British Museum posted Al slop and quietly deleted it. Here's what it was and why it matters.

Without any sponsorship, Ada Lovelace Day relies on the generosity of the community to get anything done. Could you chip in to help me attend a couple of ALD-related events? I'd love to raise another £400, which would see me through the month.

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it.

(also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary)

I'm lucky in that I'm underemployed right now, so I can just drop everything and go. On the other hand, I'm very, very broke, so extra expenses aren't great.

If you have any proofreading/editing work you need doing, please get in touch. Or any comms stuff - strategy, training, DEI, change.

Once again, anti-trans hate is the beginning of the pipeline to full-on fascism.
Graham Linehan claims he detonated his career, his family, his entire life, to protect women. He often asks people to "apologise to their daughters" if they disagree with him on trans rights.

And yet, when someone's daughter is executed by ICE, he shares Right-Wing propaganda that she deserved it.
