Obviously this is bullshit - but underlines how we at the mercy of the whims of unaccountable tech giants.

i know people say autism can't be cured because it's not a disease but i think we should try curing it by giving every autistic person five million dollars in cash

Turnitin launches Turnitin Clarity Turnitin's new offering brings transparency and integrity insights into the student writing process.

Turnitin turned academic writing into a suspicious activity with its similarity score, making a fortune by monetizing plagiarism ... and now it's *actively encouraging* students to write with AI as long as it's "transparent"? 1/2

Liz Kendall and Rachel Reeves are specifically planning to cause extreme poverty to and kill disabled people. When are we marching as this CANNOT stand.

‘Stop these crazy bills’: Republicans join Democrats to defeat anti-trans legislation in Montana One bill would remove trans children from their parents, and the other would ban drag shows and Pride marches

Last year, Republicans silenced her.

This year, many stood beside her and defeated four anti-trans bills.

This is the power of standing up for your beliefs and for what's right, and good trouble.

National Democrats, take notice.

"vote Angel" is 💯 not a joke in the slightest.

Im very serious about running for office and have been working on strategies to make it happen

Let This Radicalize You

Figure out what organizing means to you and do it. If you’re not sure how to think about that question, here’s a book to start with, not because it has all the answers but because it will help you think about your answers: www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1922-l...

And let’s face it, a good chunk of refugees have made a dangerous journey and therefore, they won’t get their asylum based on them being in danger… just wild stuff tbh.

England is such a depressing Hell hole.

Screenshot of the first page of an article titled “Gatekeeping gender-affirming care is detrimental to detrans people” in the International Journal of Transgender Health

Gatekeeping does NOT benefit detrans people.

Our paper on gatekeeping and detransition is now out! I’m immensely hyped for this paper, written in collaboration with wondrous scholars and including co-authors who have lived experience with detransition.

Why does Labour think bashing migrants is the way to defeat Reform? Look abroad: the tactic never works | Owen Jones With no clear vision for the country, the party is borrowing tactics that have palpably failed elsewhere, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Labour's migrant-bashing isn't just wrong.

It's a proven politically disastrous strategy which succeeds only in fuelling the radical right.

A page with the title "LGB Travelers"

‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB".

The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

THE MOOD OF A LIFETIME

Hey, Proton (ProtonMail, ProtonVPN) are happy to lick fash boot because Couch Fucker Vance pretended to care about them.

Thank you, @aoc.bsky.social, for calling out the absurdity of this bill, including that it would prevent co-ed sports of any kind. I’m a lot older than AOC but I too have often played sports w/boys & men. Some were threatened to play w/a girl; many were not. What exactly are we protecting here?

He was able to get the NRMP token to place his match list. NJ food aid $22/month (I thought they made a mistake, but that is all they give). Applied for at least 15 more scholarships. Applied for some night jobs now that interviews over. Urology Match January 5. I want to see this happen for him.

Does anyone have a spreadsheet handy with school districts AND their associated schools by any chance?

Absolutely. It drives me utterly insane. These people are all about the aesthetics of social movements and not about the substance of them.

What I hate the most is they see themselves as the ones “keeping the peace”… not very peaceful for the marginalised folk on the other end of that rhetoric tho…

often also find that with these ppl, in their eyes: anyone can get away with saying fiendishly bigoted shit so long as they say it in a way that they perceive as being “neutral” or “nice”.

E.g I saw someone saying: “we don’t have a problem with queers! Just keep that stuff away from the kids ☺️”

One of the many reasons a lot of people fail to communicate or stand up for what they “believe in” is because they don’t actually believe something more often than not— they just repeat words and phrases that sound good without knowing precisely what it entails.

Too many don’t think for themselves.

Israel burns northern Gaza’s last functioning hospital; patients and staff forcibly removed Isreali military vehicles surrounded the hospital, the Palestinian Health Ministry said, and communications had been cut off.

Israel has burned northern Gaza’s last remaining hospital. And kicked out its patients, including neonatal and ICU patients. I picked a western news source since y’all seem more likely to believe those. I don’t know how else to get people to care.

GO SUPPORT BIBI EVERYONE!!!!

Like i find it so strange how the anti vax types will put their lives in the hands of doctors when they suffer the consequences of not having vaccines… but won’t trust their care providers with something as benign and as basic as the COVID vaccine.

i was on birdsite earlier, and saw someone posting about something *completely* unrelated to trans issues... And in the replies? A bunch of reply guys coming in saying "oh but i bet you dont believe in biology!!!" im like... Dudes... You literally think about being trans more than I do, thats wild
