Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Why can’t AI be like hard coded to follow the law? Why isn’t that a thing? Why has no one just come up with a like “here’s the standard for keeping your AI from doing bad shit, if we catch you with an AI that doesn’t have this your company gets smushed.” Just seems like this is all unfolding oddly.

Once upon a time, a bunch of random people stood up at the same time in defiance of something they opposed. And through the fog and fear and despair they found each other. They formed unbreakable friendships, they did things that will never be known to most.. all that matters is that they stood up..

Image of Mark Carney with text: Whenever we're told that "we have to make sacrifices," it's *always* public services that we "need" to sacrifice, or the poor we need to sacrifice, or the climate we need to sacrifice. 

Every time.

It *never* means sacrificing massive subsidies to fossil fuel companies that are making record profits, or asking billionaires to sacrifice the tiniest shred of their obscene wealth. Instead they get *more* in subsidies & billions *more* in new tax cuts while those who can't afford it have to do all the sacrificing.
