AI has always been war machinery. Not “now.” And universities are developing and promoting it as if it can be used otherwise. Don’t fall for it.
Screenshot of Power to the People on x: BREAKING: The attacks launched by the United States against Iran that included bombing a school and massacring 85 schoolgirls were carried out using AI.

This is yet another reason to oppose AI and data centers: They are now war machines.

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

If you want to fight fascism… wear a mask (ideally a respirator like an N95!). It will help keep you and your community healthy. It makes protests and other events accessible for disabled & high risk people. It tells the government you don’t believe that anyone is expendable.

vended at @calmercon.bsky.social today!! it was lotsa fun, thanks for having me 😎🫶🏼
0.5 shot of TheirArt’s table at Calmer Con. Table has a navy blue tablecloth on it, has a crocheted rainbow sign that says “theirart” in lowercase letters, and has all of their art laid out on the table. From left to right are buttons, stickers, sticker bundles, sew-on patches, pride flag pins, marble pusher fidgets/fidget keychains, pride flag keychains, fidget mazes, linocut print shirts (top is gray with a black cowboy crab print), crochet pumpkins, mushroom chapstick/lighter holders, bandanas, rainbow wall hanging and transgender pride flag bucket hat. Behind the patches and marble pushers is a chalkboard sign with their prices and payment methods. Standing on top of that is a crochet stuffed rainbow.

Repeat Covid infections aren’t inevitable. That’s a lie to prop up the economy. They want you to believe you have no power. That mitigations are pointless. You have so much power. You can wear a mask. Clean & ventilate the air. Isolate when sick. Together we can turn the tides.

Do you know how many people aren’t protesting today because you’ve disabled or killed them with covid? Real uncomfortable question, I know. What would you do if you knew your personal number (of people you’ve disabled or worse)? Would it matter?

didn’t mask up today at the rally’s? please care for your community by preventing the spread of anything you may have picked up today. at home sars2 tests are notoriously finnicky, make them more sensitive by using them repeatedly in 48hr increments and swabbing throat before nose 👇🏻
Throat-Cheek-Nose Swab
info from Newlevant COVID Zine and Ontario Health Canada
Improve test accuracy by collecting a combined nose and throat sample!*
1. Do not eat, smoke or drink anything 30 minutes before taking a rapid antigen test.
2. Blow your nose first and cough.
Disinfect hands (wash or sanitizer)
3. Insert swab to the inner cheek, turn swab a few times or
and/or
4. Softly rub the swab as far back in your throat as you feel comfortable.
5. Tilt head back and fully insert the soft swab tip straight back (not up) into your nose until you hit resistance (up to 2.5 cm). Rotate swab several times against the wall
then
of the nose and let sit for a few seconds to absorb nasal secretions.
Do this for both nostrils.
6. Follow your RAT instructions to process the sample and read results

Try not to move the cassette. Read results promptly in bright light - sometimes a positive test will show up in very faint lines. If you're in the US, submit your results to MakeMyTestCount.org. *Do not use this method with Intelliswab RATs, it will produce false positives

Wear a mask. Wear a N95 mask. If you're out, cool, be around people, but hundreds and thousands of people cramped together in a pandemic is risky. Wear a mask and cut down the risk significantly. Please don't get yourselves or your loved ones sick.

help continue this downward trend with your choices, find a mask you like&wear it. some of my faves: •Bonafide •WellBefore •Dräger •BeHealthy •Laianzhi •BNX •3M •MaskC •CambridgeMask *sourcing direct from distributors (some use amazon as storefront) is the best way to avoid less than quality product

When you spend your entire life being misunderstood, a pet who loves you for who you are, no matter how well you handle people, is invaluable. Autistics, and neurodivergents at large, and our pets share a fierce bond.

every now n again when i end up on the discover feed, i get served very normal people with small follower counts asking folks to cover their cough, or saying their partner came down with covid “it’s still out there ya know” & it takes A LOT in me not to reply with mask guides & other digital zines 😮‍💨

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

Did you know there's a type of anxiety specific to autism that isn't explained by any of the existing anxiety disorders currently outlined in the DSM? Researchers are referring to this type of anxiety as "distinct anxiety" because it's distinct to autism and tied to autistic traits...
