one living wolf and one a skeleton silhouetted by the shape of another wolf chase two rabbits in a forest, birds scattering away from the action.

It’s not your fault you’re disabled. It’s not your fault you’re chronically ill. It’s not your fault you’re living in poverty, lacking health insurance, homeless or unemployed. The billionaire class wants us to believe these are moral failings so they don’t have to help people. We should help.

My fkn goodness I got so heat-sick this aft, friends. It's 2am & I'm just about recovered! Honestly thought I was getting good at avoiding shit like this, but here we are. 🙃 A reminder to look out for each other as much as we're able, esp my spoonie people. Gotta check in when we can, eh? Whew. 💖

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

I'm just struggling to imagine what a non-misinformation use case would even be. Like, it's Google Earth, you don't use it for book illustrations or profile pics or PowerPoint presentations or any of the other reasons people claim "but I NEED this LLM!"

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

Had the luxury of a nice few hours at this today. If it looks like slow going, it is! & That's why I use watercolour so often under pencils to speed things up. But I'm loving being able to do all these layers in pencil, a real joy. 😌 Also started a bit of the subtractive shading on the faded leaves

Zoomed out view of my drawing board with the moth drawing being shaded, along with various preliminary and test drawings. I'm holding some brown pencils and a fine eraser on my hand while I'm drawing, and wearing some friggin adorable compression gloves with cute mushroom creatures on. They came from BibiPins shop.Zoomed in view of the main moth drawing, showing slow and careful shading on the background leaves.

Red-shouldered pine borer (Stictoleptura canadensis), Montana. The larvae of these attractive beetles eat dead or decaying wood; adults feed in flowers. I like the fancy antennae, and that the pitted texture of the elytra make the red "shoulders" look like the surface of a strawberry. 🐙🌿📷 #BugSky

A closeup photo, vertical orientation, of a beetle seen from the side, clinging head-down to a piece orange-brown wood. The beetle is called a red-shouldered pine borer, and is elongated, black with red "shoulders" on the forward corners of its elytra. The elytra are shiny with a pitted texture. The antennae are long and curved, and banded yellow and black. The background is out of focus blue sky with a blur of yellowish dry vegetation below.

One of the first cool guys we found was this jumping spider, which looked very much like a pseudoscorpion. I found him crawling on my leg while we were eating lunch under a mango tree.

A small flat jumping spider, with large, dark, burly forelegs, looks very much like a pseudoscorpion, he has brown cephalothorax, grayish brown abdomen with transverse lines resembling abdominal segments, and legs 2-4 being yellow. He is on a brown leaf. Portrait of a small, flat, pseudoscorpion-ish jumping spider. He has small dark palps, burly dark forelegs, and scattered pale scales on his fore femora.

keep thinking about the evil of this. It's not just destroying the physical books, bad as that is. They are trying to remove the underpinnings of knowledge, destroy all the accumulated wisdom - and silliness, and creativity, and whatever else humans have thought worthy of writing down.

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

An underreported part of UK Transphobe Lawfare™ is that when they lose, they just... say they won. For all the regrettable sway they do have in courts/govt etc, their real power is in the press. So if they lose, they just pretend they didn't and their press friends print the lie. It's ubiquitous.

Women's Rights Network/Sex Matters took Feile to court to have their event reinstated. It was not reinstated. The two statements released after an agreement was reached give two very different impressions of what happened today in Belfast's High Court.

Statement from Féile an Phobail Statement from Féile an Phobail Féile an Phobail are delighted with today’s outcome at the High Court. Today’s outcome is a vindication of Féile’s position in standing up for those who are marginalised. Féile’s decision to withdraw this event from our programme stands. The agenda of many of those who involved themselves in this issue was clear for all to see. Many of the very same people line up every year to attack Féile at every turn, to attempt to damage Féile, and to attack the West Belfast community. They will never succeed. Féile an Phobail will continue to provide a voice for the marginalised, and we are looking forward to welcoming the world to West Belfast to join with us to celebrate Ireland’s biggest community festival. Féile Abú!

Bloody hell, have Labour started talking to disabled people?? Burnham says any move to allow assisted dying should not happen until the government funds better social and palliative care.

Burnham says any move to allow assisted dying should not happen until better palliative care in place Q: Do you support assisted dying? Burnham said he was not opposed to this being debated. But he went on: Personally, I think there’s something that needs to happen first, and that’s the fixing of the funding of palliative care and social care. I think it is very challenging to introduce that wider debate in a context of people not receiving that care and having peace of mind about that care.

It’s a relief to see Burnham - with help from Ed Davey and the Lib Dems - mentioning social care fees paid by disabled people. Politicians and media focus on the elderly with assets but any review must also address the poverty-inducing fees forced on working age disabled people by local councils.

Burnham says he agreed with what Ed Davey said in his Today interview this morning about the pressures carers are under. We see people struggling in in their homes looking after a partner or a relative. It can break people if they’re kind of left without that support that they need. In fact, it does break people, and that needs to be recognised. It needs to be recognised that people can see everything they’ve worked for wiped out by the costs of care. Hundreds of thousands of pounds can just disappear paying for care. Adults with disabilities will say that they face very unfair care charges just to live, just to live their life. That needs to be recognised.
