AI 👏🏻 IS 👏🏻 JUST 👏🏻 A 👏🏻 MARKETING 👏🏻 TERM
remember that:
- there is nothing "intelligent" about it
- it comes at the cost of people's livelihoods and damages vulnerable communities
- genAI hurts the environment
the easiest way to help stop it is to simply not use it 🫡
Note No.10 is starting work on its new narrative: “We can’t stop the two child limit ‘cos they made us u-turn on disability benefits.”
Child poverty v disability poverty is not a contest. Labour is responsible for its choices and solutions - not disabled people. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
Every1's a Winner by Hot Chocolate has my favourite riff of any song ever. it's so simple but it has a sort of crunchy but velvety texture only it's burning around the edges. that guitar was on fire for sure.

Oh sorry, you're vulnerable to SARS, but only from your 75th birthday onwards. Otherwise better hope you get prescribed steroids for something...
Today I got my COVID booster. The walk-in vaccine clinic turned away a carer with COPD, saying that the NHS is only giving the free vaccine to people on immunosuppressant medication. So people with lung disease aren't vulnerable to SARS now?? That's their line. Cool cool cool cool cool 🫠

😷 Face masks could be BANNED AT PROTESTS under Gov’s new Crime and Policing Bill
Sound familiar?
That’s because Rishi Sunak’s Gov tried to introduce the same thing last year!

Hi everyone,
We aren’t receiving funds quickly enough for our current spending. Remember: if we do not raise enough, we will have to potentially cut thousands of people off from the Internet, during Ramadan. Let’s not let this happen.

Many healthcare staff are suffering long covid, there is no testing in care homes. Vaccines to the majority of vulnerable have ended. We need clean air and better infection control in healthcare. Please help get this petition up to the crucial 10k mark 🙏
dysphoria off the scale
i love joining a new app and figuring out who i'm going to be over here. this and my tumblr i feel like combined are somewhere approximate to the real me.
you know when you want to eat but something you usually like is sensorily off for some reason and you physically can't get through it
Benefits and Work's suggested actions you can take to oppose the disability benefits cuts green paper

For anyone confused about UK gov’s refusal to take on board science on COVID and Long COVID: it’s deliberate. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be able to trash the disability benefits system—and disabled people—further. Which is one of their top agenda items.
atm it's just looking at architecture blogs. street style blogs make it worse because i see the kinds of things i could have if i could thrift, but i can't wear emulsion or bas-reliefs or whatever, so buildings are ok.
i think some thrifting would put my sense of self back together, but i don't have any money and i never get up early enough to risk the shops

Hey Siri,
Create a plan that alienates supporters—from the left-wing press to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, and the Citizens Advice Bureau—while failing to win over Tory voters or the right-wing press. And make sure it targets the most vulnerable, already using food banks at record levels.

Sky News: NHS England to be scrapped with management of health services returning to government, Stramer says

A major restructuring of our health service is coming. But is this about ‘democratic control’ or a power grab that could accelerate privatisation? 🧵⬇️...

like we full-on can't safely go to the doctor because so few people are doing anything to keep pathogens out of the air, and institutions have policies of doing nothing. how is that a 'feeling'?
re. that Guardian article, I hate this psychologising tone I keep seeing, when social exclusion of CEV and immunocompromised people is mentioned. We don't 'feel' excluded, we don't have access to public space or recourse to the rights we have to go there to exercise.
