@LeslieCannold @crikey_news @KathaPollitt Women, trans folk and other gender minorities are under attack. Reproductive freedoms are under attack. The bodily autonomy of pregnant folk is being stripped away.

But your conclusion is that the language we're using is at fault?

Blame the right people, it's the Conservatives.

I'm disabled.I frequently pass as not disabled, but I am. I don't love being disabled. I don't even like it. Learning limits, pacing and resting sucks, and implementing them sucks more.
Disabled people are valuable, and society is poorer when it forgets that

Not to be alarmist but…this is what’s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica.

Otherwise known as a once-in-7.5-million-year event.

Hang onto your hats.

the xz sshd backdoor rabbithole goes quite a bit deeper. I was just able to trigger some harder to reach functionality of the backdoor. there's still more to explore.. 1/n

Wow. Definitely worth a read.

The AI-generated "script" actors were given for the Glasgow Wonka event is.. something. Aside from featuring staging and effects that would be impressive for a moderately-sized West End spectacular, its stage directions also dictate precisely how delighted the audience will be.

Robodebt resulted from public servants who allowed colleagues and Cabinet to be misled in their eagerness to please Scott Morrison, who was himself party to the deception.

The day I bought my KitchenAid mixer off Marketplace...a thread.

Just blocks from our meetup location she calls me.
Her: Are you already here?
Me: no, but close.
Her: ok, there is a van here and a man staring and I hoped it was you.
Me: no, but I can drive faster.

They literally did. Samuel L Jackson was part of a group of students at Morehouse College who barricaded the board of trustees, which included Martin Luther King Sr, into an administration building for 29 hours until they agreed to grant more equity to Black students and leaders.

I'm pretty damn certain our 'MSM' including the ABC spent the last few years telling us JobSeeker recipients were lazy bludging sods, Hell bent on stealing taxpayers' money, who deserved to be hunted down to face the full force of the law.

Just my observation. #RobodebtRC

@TRyanGregory So.... Regardless of the merits of the case and whether or not employers have a responsibility to provide a safe environment, because these cases would be inconvenient they had to find against the plaintiff. Interesting.

[Jacinta Is. @jarichaust]

@atypicalhippy @chronicnotebook I agree. I interviewed about 7 GPs before finding one I was happy to continue care with

[Jacinta Is. @jarichaust]

@chronicnotebook I'm holding TWO physical letters, on letterhead, with signatures, from a rheumatologist and pain specialist saying I have it, and apparently some GPs still imagine that it's useful to tell me they don't think the diagnosis is real. Apparently some conditions are somehow optional.

@chronicnotebook CW: Ablism
When I was last moving house I visited a number of general practitioners (GP)/PCPs, with letters from 2 specialists saying "Jacinta has X, Y, Z, I'm treating with A, B", only to be told that "I don't believe in X" and "I've never met a patient with X who wasn't $slur".

@ABertheim @lsthart @JonathanCOnP Are you being sarcastic? What about SSPE, an almost always fatal "complication" of measles that turns up several years after the patient had "fully recovered" from measles? Or shingles, a well known, years later complication of chickenpox? Or MS's link with Epstein Barr?

This is a must-read article for those questioning their understanding of "equity." It's thought-provoking and will challenge your beliefs. 👉🏾

Could Sitting For Hours In A Traffic Jam While Going To Work Be Better Cardiovascular Exercise Than Going For A Light Run Before Working From Home?

@ClareSmith286 @felicitybagwash @minifingerz @Carolemcguire19 @CrucibleOfWords @PaulEmbery It's just that cis men don't develop milk glands in most circumstances. Many cis women don't ever either.

@ClareSmith286 @felicitybagwash @minifingerz @Carolemcguire19 @CrucibleOfWords @PaulEmbery Many cis men have some breast tissue. A range of health issues that cause endocrine changes can make cis men lactate. Breast milk is a filtered blood product, most adults have the parts necessary to filter blood through milk glands,
