It's never been easier to quietly and carefully teach yourself material that you never learned. Youtube is full of lectures and the internet is full of notes.

PLEASE DO NOT MAKE CHATGPT YOUR TEACHER

Pick human teachers & when I say learn, I mean to do things yourself, not to prompt wolfram alpha

If you only fight censorship right up to the line where it becomes your definition of porn, refusing to have solidarity with pornographers, I can't find it in me to care about your problems. You've shown you don't care about mine and will bounce the moment you get what benefits you.

A reminder that Wes Streeting and the Labour government have deliberately chosen two of the worst possible experts to lead the review into overdiagnosis by the way. People already entrenched in that belief who will absolutely manipulate findings to suit their ideological crusade.
Alarm over government’s choices to lead ‘over-diagnosis’ review that could help ministers cut benefits
The government’s decision to commission a review of alleged “over-diagnosis” of mental health conditions and neurodivergence has caused alarm among many disabled people, with fears that it will all…

You can’t tell if someone is disabled just by looking at them.

There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled”.

You are not entitled to a person’s entire medical history just so you can decide whether to believe them or not.

People are not faking disability, most are trying to fake being well.

Activists agreed to point their cameras away from cops and soldiers so they could help the very lawmakers they were instructed to shoot climb over the fence to go vote down the martial law without showing up on livestreams before the fascists who would punish them for it were in jail.

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS.

The coup was over in hours because people said no.

I’m so fed up with the constant Adobe nagging. ‘Want me to use Firefly to make that bit up, this is long, how about I summarise it for you’. Constant in three of the areas I use. Yet they can’t make it load a font I’ve forgotten from 5 years ago. Just make it work properly, it’s what I pay for.

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.

I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going.

It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Not for the first time, there is functionally no difference, in the impact on our lives, between an organization that cuts off trans healthcare due to open bigotry and one that does so while hand-wringing about how hard a choice it is. What matters is that trans people still aren't getting care.

Ok, I trust mine to protect me too. Which is why I trained it extensively on what the virus looks like so it can handle it.
