mh--------, verbal/physical/mental abuse 

I'm in my 40s now and I thought being bullied was something I left behind at high school, but today I was verbally, physically (had stuff thrown at me), and mentally abused by some teens in the town centre.

I'm home and okay but fuck I'm probably not going out into town, on my own, during the school holidays ever again.

I might talk about it some other time but right now my anxiety is through the roof and I'm trying my best to not dwell on it.

To get a leg up on writing to your MP, look to writetothem.com/

Just see this as another thing you do to support, alongside the social posts, protests, and placard waving.... Do this too! ✌️

Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital “library”.

Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this. :trantifa:

I know you think it does fuck all,
But please, even if all you do is write 'trans lives matter' into an email, and smash the send button, I still urge you:

WRITE TO YOUR MP

It's not 'the solution', but that's not the point. Make. Yourself. Heard. The more of us who speak, the louder the chorus.

Although Lord Hodge was at pains to assert that discrimination against trans people would still be illegal, the headline gender critical conspiracy theorists will push, will be one of biological primacy, and will be driving forward on that point in a manner highly likely to increase discrimination.

Re Microsoft win 10 machines.

Don't believe Microsoft

"because they can’t be upgraded to a supported OS there will not be the normal secondary market for those buying new hardware. This means there’s no boon for charities or other good causes, and instead this is a recycling or landfill choice.

This is criminal.

Recycle to Linux.

Was just reminded of the Tim Hope short "The Wolfman" and it occurs to me that some may not have seen this!

It's a potent weapon against enshittification.

@fluffy Which is why I keep refer to Hicks, Humphries and Slater, "ChatGPT is Bullshit," Ethics and Information Technology, 26(38), June 2024, link.springer.com/article/10.1

It is a machine for generating human-like text without regard for veracity.

The hard part of writing anything that matters isn't the typing or even the formation of sentences, its knowing the truth to be expressed. Using a BS generator can't help with that, so at best it can't reduce workload by much.

Oh maybe that's the sadge brain cause. I think I'm feeling out of place in all the chats that I'm in.

Like I've got good friends but most group chats that I've joined, even where that are good friends in them, feel like I'm constantly on the periphery and that makes me unsure of how to interact.

Also ADHD distracts me from contributing to chats a lot of them so I kinda dip in and out and try to contribute when I can but maybe that makes me look like I'm not interested?

Time for my weekly watching of classic Doctor Who! This week it's "The Mutants"!
