you don’t hold "AI" accountable; you hold AI developers, vendors, and corporations that profit off it accountable holding "AI accountable" is like holding a toaster accountable. it's an inanimate object. it doesn't have wishes, feelings, or desires

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

I got hired in 2009 on this kind of scheme, the accountancy firm that hired me were awful people. They needed to replace a retired administrator on the cheap, they bullied me for months for my disability until I quit and ended up on a psych ward.

keep thinking about "personalised" books/art made by AI and remembering James Baldwin's quote "you think your pain and heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read" these AI bros are deliberately doing a psyop on themselves to cauterise their capacity for empathy

They can't stand being challenged in any sense

Milburn eventually stopped, clearly angry, and said: "Hey, hey, HEY! I said no! Just stop! I said no," and told Pring to go through "the correct channels" if he wanted an interview.

When Pring said it was "perfectly legitimate" for a reporter to challenge him about such an influential report - which carries significant safeguarding risks Milburn said: "It's perfectly legitimate to fucking doorstep me, is it?"

He then added: "Fucking wanker."

Milburn then told him again to "go through the right channels" and nudged him with his arm.

When Pring objected, he said: "Oh, don't be so sensitive..."

Milburn then walked away with his assistant.

I feel ok atm. Relieved it's over, affirmed that it was in a state like I assumed it would be and annoyed I've had to live like this on a waiting list for over a year on what was a day case operation. Pain wise post surgery is manageable atm, genuinely my period pain is worse this evening 🥲 BUT I'm

Also anesthesia is WILD. One minute I'm stressed, anaesthetist trying to distract me by talking about music, am holding my own oxygen mask on my face (reasonable adjustment lovely anaesthetist suggested on account of PTSD and me being absolutely mental), then I tell them I'm starting to feel dizzy..

In a true curse I am on the heaviest day of my period the day I got my gallbladder out. Period pain and post op pain currently on par with each other but nothing compared to the pain I was in some days over the last 16 months with my gallbladder

That happened at the height of the Drumcree standoff in 1998, AFTER the Good Friday Agreement peace deal was signed in April that year. The NI Parades Commission is responsible for governing parades since 1998 and they gave 11th-hour consent for the contentious route on Friday. Unforgivable.

Thank you. Electrician came today and did look everywhere in the kitchen and just outside in living room. Best guess is either the microwave or dehumidifier overheated and started burning. Just hoping it doesn’t happen again 😭

Have narrowed it down to the kitchen, think it was the microwave but worried it's the electrics more broadly. Am currently waiting on an emergency electrician. Can't use the kitchen without getting dizzy from the left over fumes

And having this drama played out in the press for clicks is not the way it needs to be aired. But it is a useful mirror for the queer left to look at themselves and see because this shit destroys lives and communities

Having spent a lot of time in and with experience of organising in queer and left spaces, there ARE people who show up to the table in bad faith But at the same time we need more masked spaces and disabled lives matter

Re the Boston Globe lesbian bar story: I've learned that there are people who truly care about working through accessibility need clashes to find a resolution (and they are not stuck on yelling at you and weaponising social justice language to shit talk you online.)

The issue here is not marginalized groups and queer folks. It's about a small group or a single narcissist manipulating marginalized people to dominate our spaces, ultimately wrecking them; everyone in left and queer spaces knows exactly what I'm talking about, and it's been tolerated for too long.

Nell @nellh.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Some people aren't coming to the table in good faith and that's a tough lesson to learn, but one you encounter too much in queer and left spaces honestly 🫠
