Hi! I'm looking to speak to anyone who is finding ways to resist/work around mandatory AI usage policies at work. Mostly games industry-related, but happy to speak to anyone adjacent as well! Published quotes can of course be anon if desired. DM me here or email at luke@aftermath.site, thanks!
Read @amyfallon.bsky.social at Crikey on how the Alliance Defending Freedom is coming after Australian freedoms for LGBTQIA people and then reproductive healthcare. Your body won’t be your own if they win, Aussies. I share my quotes with you here. 💜🏳️⚧️💜 #Auspol www.crikey.com.au/2026/06/24/a...

Calls and text messages have flooded me in the last 72 hours from friends and colleagues in Sierra Leone and elsewhere: Are my meds going to be cut off? Am I going to die? I don't know what to tell them. I don't know what to tell anyone. Hope is my whole jam, but I feel very distant from it.
I have never seen anyone flip as quickly as Robert F. Kennedy did on the question of whether a woman has the right to control her own body.
Reckon there might be a few people from UK, Canada, South Africa, US and elsewhere who might like this. The huge problem may be the timezone. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

I know I am a natural helper, and I know I'm not the only one to feel like this, but do get sick of doing things for other people at times and then when you need something back they don't do the same.
What a toxic site X is. I went back on to DM someone about something for work and I noticed I had a reply to a homophobe from something I posted in December 2023. Such desperados 🤣
Every morning we wake up to more horror – but worse than that, more people who are seemingly indifferent to it. Compassion burnout is real, but it is also what power wants. Empathy keeps us human and yes, it is heavy, but it's a burden worth holding ♥️

Withdrawing US funding from the World Health Organization is a potential disaster for public health worldwide, due to the impact it will have on the important work the WHO does. Preventing the CDC from even *talking* with WHO personnel is a step much farther toward undermining global health & safety
CDC ordered to stop working with WHO immediately, upending expectations of an extended withdrawal
U.S. public health officials have been told to stop working with the World Health Organization, effective immediately. The surprise decision is focused on the U.S.

Thank god for a cooler day, although have loved the sunshine.
Got a few free Substack subscriptions to give away atm after I subscribed to some newsletters (not mine! Mostly women writers and journos from UK) so if any one wants me to send them one, particularly any freelancers, please let me know. Good for a month.
