I cannot stress this enough, and I am tired of saying it: British white people, everything you are seeing in the US is coming here and you cannot watch Eurovision or Great British Bakeoff or sign petitions and think you can stiff-upper-lip or ignore your way out of this.

Learn to be UNCOMFORTABLE.

Mushrooms, living forever, grief and loss.

Forest by Joyce Chng
It’s been a month since Sally passed away. The house is quiet without her laughter, the pitter-patter of her feet. There is nothing, nothing, nothing—an emptiness filling every room and everyone.

Practicing kindness this winter for myself is difficult. I want to be doing things. Meanwhile, failed medication and new hormone trials are laughing and daring me to have a go, knowing full well I'll wreck myself for weeks.

I am grumpily trying to embrace what I'm calling "my Dude era.

We are where we are because some of you - white people, let's be real - are uncomfortable with using the word "racist".

I'm tired of trying to analyse why, but I no longer prevaricate. When a racist person is challenged and says "Are you calling me RACIST" I say "Yes".

Learn to be uncomfortable.

Baking was somewhat unsuccessful yesterday, but my fault for trying to bake with gluten-free flour in a storm (humidity levels, whoochile). Still edible speculaas, but terrible presentation.

I will give myself a pass, because my husband will still eat the stuff with a spoon.

"Why is Farage so popular?"

Because your country is racist.

"I don't understand why he gets so much airtime."

Because your press is racist and complicit.

"My own family believes his nonsense. I don't understand why..."

Because your family members are racist.

Stop trying to explain it away.

"What we need is regulation and consequences. Whenever I have reported an account or comment for hate speech or bullying, my report has made no difference. The comment remains, the account still exists, and it’s up to me to block and move on, while that person or bot continues to spread hate."

The reason I don’t post pictures of suffering in Gaza even though I’m asked to at times is because I lived through a decade of folk posting basically snuff films of Black people back when we thought we could convince society our lives matter. It convinced no one. But it did fuck up my mental health.

'Nature cure' is a quiet form of erasure. And a cop-out.

The land is there, it can hold us, but it cannot remake the world. Only we can do that.

An impressive project showing what can be possible, right now; nature and cities intertwined seamlessly.

"You cannot protect what you do not love; you cannot love what you do not understand; you cannot understand what you are not taught."

Time to learn.

We’re human beings, not cogs in some massive economic machine. That’s as true for migrants as it is for others.

That should be our starting point.

Whatever else it can do, this tech adds work and erodes trust. The extra work is time-wasting and wearying, and I resent the erosion of trust most deeply. I cannot believe it is healthy for society to be ever less sure that anything you encounter is the real thought or expression of a fellow human
I spend so much time verifying everything now from art to cited sources to photos to historical references to citations to quotes to legal and medical information that it's really hard to fathom how much work AI has collectively added to the world, not reduced
Here's the reality this example illustrates:

It's not even just about people blindly trusting what ChatGPT tells them. LLMs are poisoning the entire information ecosystem. You can't even necessarily trust that the citations in a published paper are real (or a search engine's descriptions of them).

Not that it wasn't abundantly clear, but the strategy for the UK's next pandemic is to, literally, do nothing.
NHS England: “It will not be possible to halt the spread of a new pandemic virus, and it would be a waste of public health resources and capacity to attempt to do so.”

This has got to be one of the most 🤯 things I’ve ever seen written down in an official document.

This was my sister's favourite album and I haven't listened to it in years.

Same song. Song feeling. Same message as in 1989.

On January 1, Illinois begins to regulate employer use of AI, making it a civil rights violation to use AI tools that result in discrimination based on protected characteristics in hiring, promotion, discipline, termination, or other employment terms and requiring notice of AI use. #AIBillofRights
Illinois becomes one of the few states to regulate employer use of AI. House Bill 3773 amends the Illinois Human Rights Act to make it a civil rights violation for employers to use AI tools that result in discrimination based on race, gender, age, or disability.
