Agreed. For a science channel, it’s disappointing to see them embrace a dualistic stance of consciousness being something completely separate from the brain. To the best available evidence consciousness is an emergent property of the brain, though it may feel magical and separate to itself (you).

Numbness and Indifference are crucial tools of facists. “Flood the zone with shit”, do so much fucked up stuff people can’t keep up and care anymore. They try to make outrage so common it becomes meaningless. I beg people who have the capacity to, to continue caring, as a simple act of resistance.

A party who wants to be successful in elections, needs backing from the upper class, because the upper class has disproportionate power (monetary, media influence etc.). This is how we get a “workers” party committing social murder against some of the most marginalised. Is this Democracy?

This is not only erasure at it’s most obvious, but plain racism. Under Trump, if you’re not a white cishet able bodied man, you’re not allowed to receive honours, be celebrated, or even be mentioned in positive light. Every time that happened in the past, is assumed to be “DEIA”. (1/2)

If this comes true (it is well on track), the US won’t just descend into an Orbanesque illiberal democracy. We are talking “soft” authoritarianism. Arrests of dissidents, coercion of the media, purging of voter rolls, certification blocks. Congress must step up now, or forever hold their peace.

Pro-“Worker” movements have been corrupted. Historically, they were about fighting for the rights of lower class people, who are often stuck in oppressive systems of wage labour. These movements also fought for disabled people unable to work and led to things like disability insurance. (1/2)

If Taiwan wants resilience in the face of a growing CCP threat, it must to work towards self sufficiency. The CCP will blockade Taiwan when they want it to bow down to their imperialism. Taiwan currently imports the vast majority of their power and food. A CCP blockade would be devastating. (1/)

CCP Propaganda via the Uyghur Genocide has been wildly successful. I’m seeing a lot of so-called leftists calling the persecution of the Uyghur people “western propaganda”. Leftists, it shouldn’t be hard to know no country, especially an authoritarian capitalist state like China, is perfect.

These climate-sceptic dark money groups pushing out research and opinion pieces in a near propagandised manner, are very similar in ways to the denialist and psychobehaviouralist equivalents to do with ME/CFS and Long COVID. Interesting video.

This is the difference between non-profit and for-profit journals. The simple reality is if we want academia to actually somewhat represent “Science”, we need to bring profit out of it. Otherwise “Science” becomes an industry, as opposed to rigorous methodology. This has already largely happened.

The Economist sees one solution for all of our problems. “Cut Welfare!”. I wonder why a magazine made by rich people for rich people, prefers taking away lifesaving money letting marginalised people die, than slightly increasing the tax rate on those with > 10 million.

We need to have a conversation about erasure. Its implications, what it does, how it embodies violence. Completely removing references to groups of people (disabled, indigenous, LGBTQ+, Women) is a direct form of oppression and violence. These kind of tactics often precede violence and murders.

What i do really love is that Belgium, the Netherlands & the UK this week all discussed plans to cut back on long-term sick leave costs But none of them actually launched policies to improve health, only financial and administrative punishments Where is your Long Covid or Burnout action plan?

#TheReformParty and #NigelFarage want to abolish the NHS. Like the US, where millions of people go bankrupt and lose their home if they get ill. Multimillionaires like Farage can afford it. Can you? #ReformParty #BBCLaurak

We have 3.1 million with long covid in the UK and there were around 409 million globally well over a year ago. Don’t you think this is peculiar this is never mentioned in the press? Silence speaks volumes!

Never mind "the government responded". Please sign. We could grow the UK economy by mending bridges with allies, instead of taking crumbs from the poorest, kicking the support from under disabled people or bending the knee to a dictator. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Long COVID has a significant impact on the global economy... Research in Nature Medicine estimates that over 400 million people worldwide have developed Long COVID at some point, resulting in an annual global economic cost of $1 trillion (~ 1% of GDP)!! www.yalemedicine.org/news/long-co...

Social Murder is Murder. It is thus also violence. The current system is thus synonymous with violence. No matter how much neoliberalism goes on about not being violent, it is synonymous with violence.

They are expanding their McCarthyite war on diversity to include people with disabilities, and doing it very clearly. Should someone in a wheelchair be able to work for the FAA? I think an overwhelming majority of Americans would say "of course" but that's not what we're hearing from Trump.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

To those that consistently discourage protesting because "Trump may invoke the insurrection act", he's going to do it anyway, regardless of what you do or don't do. Stop playing yourselves and more importantly playing others by blatantly discouraging any real opposition to the Trump regime.

The president's false scapegoating of people with disabilities for last night's terrible plane crash over the Potomac is a cruel, politically opportunistic, and shameful act that only increases the harm and grief our nation is experiencing. Our hearts are with all those impacted by this tragedy.

For everyone who’s ever said “well if I was alive back then, I would fight back! I would hide Jews and Romani and trans and disabled people from the n4z1s!” What you’re doing RIGHT NOW is what you would have been doing then. What legacy do you want to leave?

A thread for getting off Substack 🧵: 1. First, migrate your archive and subscriber list to the new platform. I went to buttondown, which was the most affordable for me as a small letter, not a lot of paid subscribers. It's not as slick of an interface, but it does everything I need.
