Over 100,000 people are marching through The Hague against Israel's war on Gaza. Wearing red clothing and forming a line, they are demanding the government draw a red line in its stance against Israel. It's the largest protest in the Netherlands in 20 years.

Here is the grad speech that NYU is now withholding the student's diploma for: "As I search my heart today in addressing you all…the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine."

The witch learns from the land. The witch learns the land. She knows where its songs are sung loudest, the finding of its thousand thresholds. Her tongue is made strong from speaking its occulted names. Its secret languages are tattooed on her bones. – #Emily C Banting, 1982 #WitchSky

It’s a big NO from me to AI audiobooks, for all of the reasons below.👇 Much of this applies to the replacement of translators with AI too. Just no!!!

‘Rip-roaring fun’ - thanks @patchworkbunny.bsky.social! I like tropes, and I’m always interested thinking about what kind of person would try to embody a trope.

How can we hope to be moved from a voice that cannot itself be moved? How can we feel the nuances of joy and suffering from the voice of a machine that cannot experience joy, and cannot suffer? Storytelling is what makes us human. If we cede our humanity, we are lost.

So. AI audiobooks. Thing is, sharing stories is one the oldest human activities, a truly beautiful thing, and I don’t understand people who think AI can bring anything to the table… 🧵 1/7

Fantastic ending to Baroness Kidron's speech in the House of Lords yesterday, which led to the government's defeat on AI & copyright. Speaking the UK's creators: "Their property, their labour, is worthy of your protection - because apart from anything else, it is not ours to give away."

I absolutely loved this book. (And I feel quite smug that I got the joke in Hilly's name right away - it was like having my nerd credentials validated.) @philipreeve.bsky.social fans, if you haven't tried this one yet, you're in for a treat.

Much like misogyny, they really want to push the idea that it's 'already solved, nothing to be done, can't change it now' because that means they can just keep getting away with AI theft. Ursula LeGuin's 'divine right of kings' quote comes to mind.

This is a great chat about looking at Irish mythology through a feminist and multicultural lens, where Ellen picks out some lesser known and often badass female characters (I’ve always wanted to know Scáthach’s story), and discusses how Catholic monoculture deprived us of some absolute treats.
