Please read our paper out now about the resistance, repurposing and reimagining of oppressive mental health technologies, such as Oxevision (now LIO), used on us against our will. And how we must dream them differently.

People went on the bad advice of friends, family members etc now, the deterioration of community means ppl are seeking advice from AI. A program that tells ppl exactly what they want to hear. An agreeable agent which doesn't challenge behaviour.

#CurrentlyReading The Hottest Girl At Burn Camp which is a good but tough read. This passage in particular hit me like a gut punch
A kobo e reader on a floral duvet cover. Pink and red cover reads The Hottest Girl At Burn Camp: how to survive a fire and a chaotic upbringing (without losing your sense of humour) Krystal Evans A kobo e reader. Page reads: CHAPTER 3-29 OF 29 The truth is: growing up with someone with a mental illness is sort of like growing up in the ocean. You get really good at swimming. Then you meet someone else who can't even navigate a puddle and you're like, "Wow, okay, what ocean did you grow up in?" And they're like, "I grew up on dry land, Krystal. Just like everyone else. And we judge people who grew up in the ocean." Then you realize that it makes some people really sad and uncomfortable when you talk about growing up in the ocean. So, you stop telling people. And you avoid the ocean at all costs. You swear you'll never go back there again. But while you're in it, you think it's normal. You just keep treading water. Because that's all you can do.

“Oxevision is not licensed to replace staff, but the trust still notes in its report that this is what they’re using the technology for, estimating that between 2021 and 2024, it should save £709k on staffing with Oxevision.”

“The business case for using Oxevision appears equally unclear in the OHFT report, which reveals a conflict between the trust and the company over whether to explicitly say that the surveillance tech is being used to replace staff.”

Once, a male ward staff member stood and watched me through a window as I showered during an admission in 2005, it haunts me to this day. If a camera had been recording so any male staff member could look at me 24/7 without me knowing, my psychosis would've escalated.

@stopoxevision.bsky.social have a template letter and a bunch of easy read resources to explain why this tech doesn't help staff care for patients, it doesn't work in the ways Lio claim it does and it does violate patient rights to privacy and dignity.

Palantir lands biggest ever UK defense deal
The £240 million contract with the Ministry of Defence has renewed a debate about Britain’s dependence on American technology.

this is irresponsible reporting. a neural network can't comment on why it produced CSAM. a neural network can't be held answerable for generating CSAM. accountability lies within the fascist ceo and the team willing to work for him

Rachael Bade Y @rachaelmbade X.com Agree or disagree with the merits of the operation, you can't help but be in awe of the US military might described by Gen Caine. Pres Trump threatened Maduro for months -- loudly and publicly. And yet US forces caught him and his cronies entirely OFF GUARD and took a sovereign leader from his own country.

Trying to speak to my GP be like: "you can only do this online" "you must log in to two different portals" "these portals need to send you security codes" "the security codes haven't come? Wait a few minutes and then click send again" "oh? You waited ten mins and then clicked send again? Fuck you."
You cannot continue You have asked for a security code too many times. You must wait up to 15 minutes before trying again.

Can we all collectively acknowledge that storage heaters are garbage and burn them in a pyre after fitting proper central heating in their place?

My flat was 14 degrees despite the storage heaters being on all night.

Colder elsewhere as I have no working heating at all in my kitchen or bathroom.
