A young Canadian with the same conditions as me ended her life via Assisted Dying. What did she want? Palliative care & better pain management. What was she offered? MAiD. This is the problem. The safeguards come off & disabled people can’t access the care they need to survive.

Aside from the obvious eugenics concerns... Both the UK Government and media are reporting this as 'every baby in the UK' and 'the NHS will...' but health is devolved - have ScotGov and NHS Scotland agreed to this plan? www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/ever...

personally I think it's far more objectionable to refer to a pregnant 13-year-old as a 'woman' than to refer to a cis woman as a 'person', but what do I know

Just listened to this episode at the gym, and I would recommend it: there is a clear top-down coordinated effort to get us all to buy into a false narrative about what really happened during the Covid-19 pandemic which we need to be aware of/resist

This was one of the most interesting panels I’ve ever been on. Key points: let’s move away from demographic apocalyptism; it takes a village to raise a child - individualised incentives won’t ‘work’; instead of trying to change the birth rate, let’s create a healthy society people want to live in

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? Food systems are the #2 contributor to climate change, the #1 driver of deforestation, the #1 driver of biodiversity loss on land, and the #1 user of freshwater. (It follows that food systems contain many solutions to these problems.)

It’s hard to escape the dawning realization that part of the goal of Google’s AI Overview is to simply eradicate the concept of anyone else having any kind of website at all. Why click on a link & explore when Google told you the answer & you didn’t know it was wrong?

I've still never forgiven Reeves for writing a pop history book of women MPs and only having a brief paragraph on Constance Markiewicz which didn't even mention she was imprisoned when she was elected, but having a whole chapter on Nazi-sympathiser Nancy Astor. (Also the austerity ofc)

This is true. What gets lost in these conversations is that DEI policies are, almost without exception, evidence based. They’re not just woolly liberal guilt or a desire to fit a trend. They’re not opposed to merit: they support it!

One of the only common "DEI" measures in hiring practices is to assess applications without having the name attached, because people with feminine or racialised names get hired less, whereas when we take names off, everyone gets assessed on merit. But sure, let's stop doing that.

I still think represents the most shocking void in the UK’s COVID response - when the largest biomedical facility offered to undertake testing (many universities did the same) the government didn’t even answer. The cost would have been minimal. But no profit for private companies… is that it?
