well, today in floridly depressing news: the French helpline for female victims of male violence is facing "coordinated" attacks from men's rights activists, who keep calling up in the hope of making it harder for women to reach their services

Itβa pretty exhausting managing our own self supported needs and adjustments before being able to do what others do. And then when the finely balanced support structure occasionally fails, I know that I get frustrated with myself βjust it better!!!β π

Listened to an @ioe.bsky.social podcast about Dyscalculia. It was interesting as someone with other Nurodiversities. One thing that especially struck me is how hard us Neurospicies work in the background just to mask, regulate & try to meet our own needs, just to do the actual work we need to do.

Lois speaks truth to power!
Last year she challenged Steve Reed to meet her at the football.
This year she's calling out Emma Reynolds on the lie that we need private investors to deliver our water.

RISING TRANSPHOBIA AGAINST CIS WOMEN
How the transvestigation of Margot Robbie proves that bigots have officially lost the plot.
βA viral post claiming Margot Robbie is a dude is not just a flop. It is a scream for help from a group of people who have spent so much time hunting for biological clues they have forgotten what a real human looks like. The transvestigation has officially jumped the shark and it is eating its own.β

Netanyahu has been trying to go to war with Iran for decades. He's been lobbying American presidents on both sides of the fence. Donald Trump is just the first president stupid enough to be convinced by his fear mongering - Says Rep Sara Jacobs, whose family lives in Tel Aviv.

Hereβs how we got here (and this is just todayβs example):
- In 2015-2016 Trump+supporters in the US and Brexiters in the UK experimented with looking right down the camera at the public and knowingly lying. Not fibs, not spin, not errors of fact, but deliberate, premeditated, calculated lies.

[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Was in college teaching the Level 2s for 5 hours from 9am.They were really testing me today as they're stressed about GCSE retake mocks over the next couple of weeks and their show next week.
And now I've left planning tomorrow to a 10:30pm scramble. At least I'm not teaching until the afternoon!

West Midlands annual pedestrian deaths 'nearly double in four years'
Figures show 48% of road deaths across the West Midlands last year were that of pedestrians.
The response must be a safe system approach, not guardrail. We emphasise subsequent lines in the report: "We are also assessing common contributory factors in pedestrian KSls to establish appropriate interventions", "excessive or inappropriate speed remains the most prevalent contributory factor".
