Be very suspicious of places which have a rule of “no politics”. Everything is political. “No politics” is a rule written by systems of oppression so they can’t be seen, spoken or challenged.

I wonder if it would be interesting or useful to have a list of identities and groups that are privileged and prioritiesed in the UK? What would be the problems with making a list like that? What would be with the impact? How would you use it?

This is a list of oppressed and systematically disadvantaged people and groups in the UK 🧵 The list is in no particular order. Items are loosely grouped. Please use it in any way if it's useful to you! I welcome your feedback, suggestions and comments ⭐️ docs.google.com/document/d/1... 1/8 ⬇️

I don't always agree with the takes on tech that you hear on this podcast, but this one is good. It talks about the realities and ethics of AI and social media with Prof Mark Graham, and the very human real world of development with Associate Prof Paula Bialski. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

This great summary shows there's an important piece missing in what we are asking from digital government: 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵. It's so great to see that there's a section on Digital inclusion and accessibility. But folks, we must go beyond inclusion and access to 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀.
