Likes theatre, food and books - is twittering away, not meaning to cause offence. Works in publishing and sort of data. Sometimes half of a book blog.

See also, the enormous environmental impact of ChatGPT. Water & energy usage is *4x that originally estimated*.

Beyond the very valid creative & IP concerns, we have to think about this, and it should impact our choices and behaviours too.

Please repost for all the cleaning staff who are working across the NHS this weekend.

They are a huge part of the team and it would be impossible to keep patients safe without them.

Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS.

I think this is a national scandal.

Please RT if you do too 🙏

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️ Domestic abuse rises by 38% when England loses a match, and by 26% when they win or draw, according to research by Lancaster University.

We’re thinking of everyone tonight.

This win means a lot—not just for me but also for artists & photographers everywhere.

It’s a reminder that copyright protects individuals from those that try to profit off our work without consent.

It reaffirms that our work being online doesn't mean we give up our rights. 3/

Hello my loves, a reminder that the @LivingWageUK has risen. The UK Living Wage is now £12.00/h and the London Living Wage is £13.15/h.

Employers: check your pay policies
Candidates: check salary being offered

E.g., London Living Wage for a full time 37.5h role = £25,642.50

@chelseamee903 If the desk isn’t working try the sofa.

If you’re getting distracted break the task down into chunks or milestones e.g. “review this section” or “compare these mentions in the document”

Document review is incredibly boring and slippery to do. You’re not alone.

A lot of politicians are trying to convince the public right now that private companies will help the NHS. Think about every other public service that has been turned into a profit machine for private companies.

Have the public benefitted?

No. The shareholders have.🚨🚨🚨

The Rwanda plan looks to cost over £500m of OUR money

£500m basically to appease Mail readers and GB news viewers

£500m to send victims of torture, persecution and of course victims of our global arms trade to an unsafe country

£500m that could have instead opened safe routes

[Dan White : Disability Campaigner / Author / ♿️ @Danwhite1972]

As long as there is global instability
As long as there is war
As long as there is religious intolerance
As long as there is poverty & persecution
As long as we export arms to despots

Boats will never stop

The #RwandaBill is nothing but confirmation of our moral decline

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Nearly half of NHS staff are looking for a new job

The damage that will be done if even 10% of them are successful does not bear thinking about

We must starting treating healthcare workers better before it’s too late - please RT if you agree

@AkiSchilz Yes! I don’t remember the bugs on windscreens though (but I didn’t do all of it).

For those who don’t know, PiP isn’t an out of work benefit. The PM is either ignorant of this or mislead and lied to people today. It actually helps disabled people access the work. Applying for it is deliberately made a dehumanising, humiliating & traumatic experience #sicknote
