We urgently need to raise extra funds to help women like Lina get to a clinic safely. The average cost of care is over £900, and can be a lot higher. Please donate if you can so someone like Lina can safely get to a clinic: www.asn.org.uk/no-other-way

It is wild how, in the North of Ireland, it is the costumed bigots with tribal drums & emblems, led by convicted paedophiles, who are on the side of the law, while bereaved mothers are the illegal gathering. Oh I forgot, that's just the new normal now.

Almost 65,000 children in Gaza have been killed or injured by Israel since October 2023. Children also face forced famine, displacement, and denial of humanitarian aid. You don't get to annihilate a generation and then play a game of football, as if it never happened, as if it isn't still happening.

"What lover of humanity can view with anything but horror the prospect of this ruthless destruction of human life. Yet this is war: war for which all the jingoes are howling, war to which all the hopes of the world are being sacrificed, war to which a mad ruling class would plunge a mad world." - JC

This wasn't a hack. Global finance app Revolut just gave boatloads of personally identifiable information including names and FULL ACCOUNT TRANSACTION HISTORIES to hackers because they—wait for it—asked nicely. I'm not even exaggerating. This is why you can ONLY pay me in privacy-preserving ways.

Resist this phrasing: Some people are feeding prompts into AIs and presenting the results as "their own stories." They're not. They're extruded plastic plagiarism. They may write their own prompts but they sure ain't writing their own stories, and nor is "AI" bc it's a fruit machine not agential.

I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).

Look it’s a pretty long thread, but in short, if you saw a headline that said “regulator proposes banning children from using unsafe high voltage toasters” wouldn’t you wonder why we were letting unsafe high voltage toasters on the market?

It is noticeable that whenever the Irish government says it wants to become more like our European neighbours it's never about things like rent controls, tenant rights, workers rights, public health care and always about thinks like the border regime and militarisation...

Once again regulators seem myopically fixtated on online harms and their impacts on children, and not their influence on society. How many 12 year olds are on X? I’d much rather regulators investigate X/Twitter’s impact and the harm it causes to the over 40s.

The recent subsidy to fuel costs over €1billion. One of the arguments Eamonn Ryan used against making public transport free was that if they did that, people would use it too much. Meanwhile a recent survey found Dublin the most traffic congested EU capital city.

My letter in today's Examiner regarding Cathal Crowe's horrific comments, my own concerns about Irish driving culture, and how Cathal Crowe himself tried to make Irish roads even less safe. Full letter at link. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/your... #spéirgorm
Screenshot from the letters page of The Examiner showing the opening paragraphs of a letter. They read: TD's comments or teenagers who died in MS crash
I was deeply disturbed to see my local TD Cathal Crowe, dehumanising the teenagers who died in the M9 tragedy, branding them as "thugs" and arguing that ".our sympathies and concern should be for the victims."
Compassion is not a limited resource that we need to triage. We can care about those rictims who were seriously harmed by this reckless and inexcusable act. while also recognising that the death of these children was in itself a tragedy
I understand that, in the wake of such a frightening incident, fear instinctively triggers our baser instincts. That anyone would so blatantly violate the norms that... Letter available in full at the link

Requiring a passport will create YET ANOTHER barrier to people travelling for care, and we're really worried it will push some people over the limit. If you've never had a passport, it will likely add at least 3 weeks onto the time it takes to get to a clinic.

Currently, if you don't have a passport, the ferry is your only route from Ireland into the UK to access an abortion. We've supported several people over the last few weeks who didn't have a passport and so had to travel by ferry.
RTE headline: "Ferry passengers to require passport for UK travel from next month" and additional text from ASN: "This change is yet another barrier to travelling for an abortion"
