TW: MISOGYNY VIOLENCE DEATH

i know enough to know that everything she said is true. hero talk

edit 1/: replace "intelligence" [a eugenics-packed word] with "humanity" sorry abt that. also, meant to say respect for those who call AND those who answer.
proving i'm human 🌈

First to say your student is asking very good questions.

I'm contemplating a project regarding suicide. If you'd be willing to talk with me, please let me know, and I'll provide more details by email. At this stage, it is only under consideration. Depending on early research, it may or may not go forward. Thanks much.

Kezia would do well to read the protocol for the Suicide & Self-Harm Research Group. (SSHRG). They have managed to include gender dysphoria patients without even acknowledging them in de patiënt cohort. Quite literally erasing trans identities from their papers.

come join @cyn-k.bsky.social and me to trash talk AI!

5/ #CallBlackLine & #TransLifeline are examples of crisis lines that center human care by humans. Support them! Links are in the paper. Find out more about your local support networks and crisis providers, before the crisis hits. If you can. Stop the spread of this infestation, any way you can.

4/ I offer alternatives and give encouragement, we can stop this. WE CAN! The first step is to be informed. We can join with others resisting the same thing in different contexts such as #LibraryOfBabel. Once informed, there is responsibility, and that is a good thing!

3/ I present examples of how big data, big "AI" mega corporations such as SalesForce, Amazon, Microsoft, Twilio, Vonage, RingCentral are deeply involved. I share big clues how the direction is headed towards embedding and tracking into EHR, with its mega corporations such as MultiCare, and more.

2/ I present the case that "AI" use will destroy four essentials of crisis line care: authentic human care, trust in institutions of care, meaningful consent, and hope.

I use prominent examples of "AI" heavy tech company approaches to care by Behavioral Health Link and Lyssn. io, Inc.

The “AI” Infestation of 988 Lifeline - Reform Crisis Text Line This is an "AI" warning label, and a call to protect humans-only space for crisis lines.

📣 The "AI" Infestation of 988 Lifeline
1/ Crisis line advocacy white paper against "AI" use. I began writing this back in 2022. I'm not discouraging use of crisis lines. I'm respecting the intelligence of those who call.

Detailed, very well written. I highly recommend folks read this.

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

proving once again that really smart people can have really bad ideas. Such "AI" (mis-)use cases pose a real threat of harm to others for many many reasons. But for some reason we don't involuntarily commit the researchers and AI hype machine pushing the "prediction" misuse case. it's bewildering

So I have e-mails that confirm that the behavioral health network Masshealth uses has intentionally programmed their website to flag clinicians with a none/other/nonbinary or trans status on their CAQH profile and give an error message. Folks are OK with this?

Pardon Underwrites a Year of Palladium Sustaining ambitious governance journalism and sponsoring PALLADIUM 20: Noblesse Oblige and beyond.

How come boutique consultancy Pardon that runs art galleries and similar creative projects is funding the weird silicon valley right wing magazine Palladium which is run by people with white supremacist background and Thiel connections. Anyone know? letter.palladiummag.com/p/pardon-und...

In activist spaces there's always this balance,maybe even a full blown dialectic, between trying to engage with those who disagree and protecting ourselves from them, especially those who actively want to harm us. These decisions are delicate and often personal as well as collective. 1/

I have a migraine, but I'm so done with seeing these everywhere every few months that I had to send an email — and I know others have too. @irisvanrooij.bsky.social @dingemansemark.bsky.social

Please, they must stop doing this. I'm so tired of this nonsense.

A blue and white graphic from Publisher’s Marketplace that reads NONCOMPLIANT By Leah Ida Harris. Imprint: Haymarket. Advocate Leah Ida Harris’s NONCOMPLIANT: A FAMILY HISTORY OF THE ASYLUM, an account of the violent history-and grim resurgence-of the asylum in American life through a multi-generational story of involuntary psychiatric treatment, to Charlotte Heltai at Haymarket (world). Rights: Roisin@haymarketbooks.org

NONCOMPLIANT is on her way! I am so grateful to @haymarketbooks.org for the opportunity to write this book. This is our generational family story of resistance to involuntary psychiatric treatment, set against a half century of efforts to 'bring back the asylum' in the United States.

i can count the six reasons on my one hand lol cry out loud

“check out this great interview w/a.o. @olivia.science & @irisvanrooij.bsky.social (…) The whole piece is strong, but the beginning is truly fantastic, when Guest explains how the Q of whether something might work is completely irrelevant ("possibilities don't bake bread”).” — @felienne.bsky.social

Blacksky Algorithms’ Policy Towards Agentic Coding We created an AI Policy to explain our use of agentic coding, such as Claude Code and the options for a future path for Blacksky Algorithms and the community at large. Our team has heard the concerns ...

Now that you’ve read the stance of the Blacksky Team, we wanna hear from you all to help us determine the future of Blacksky.

Quotes and replies off - please submit statements and vote on statements via our People's Assembly.

Come see and hear what our country's president said he will destroy. No he will not destroy this but we must join those asking "why is he not removed from office for saying such a thing?"

Art is always the right response. Lots here justseeds.org , maybe start with Roger Peet @toosphexy.bsky.social and work your way around

Things that really jam me up.

“The fact that my birth mother believed I had died means the doctor lied to her,” Wang said. “The adoption agency also knew this and still turned a blind eye and sent me abroad for adoption.”

This how the “orphans” that #adoption “rescues” are actually made.
