I now have zero subscriptions (with the happy exception of @gaslitnation.bsky.social) and I resigned from my job rather than use AI and direct our customers to do so. The machine can’t have my soul.
Don't forget! February is 'Resist and Unsubscribe' month. Unsubscribe from the subscriptions you have with all the big boys, the Apple, Amazon, Facebook et al. All the Pale Males who were standing next to Trump during inauguration.

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.
