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.

Do you ever feel like you're being watched?

A table and chairs. In the distance is a cat tree next to a window. A grey and white tuxedo cat sits inside the hidey hole and pokes her head out. She is staring straight at the camera

In turn, that reliance on AI then means that you're in a bubble, or - to use a phrase AI chodes no doubt are familiar with - an echo chamber.

You are *not* hearing diverse voices of lived experience at any point. This is a downward spiral from that point on.

The Hampstead ponds have REPEATEDLY voted to include trans women. But the officious pricks at Sex Matters don’t care what other women think and are forcing a public consultation anyway. Throw the ponds some support.
