Lookit, the hope and joy in that campaign is absolutely infectious. Connolly's campaign was v much her own but it cant have been uninfluenced.

And now i want knafeh!

Can we stop pretending to misunderstand the protect women & children crowd, you know exactly what women and children they’re bleating about and they literally do not care about the others

Most of the posts ive seen have been from independent bookshops or bookseller groups - i guess the point being that many people default to amazon these days and its bad for bookshops

Giving out peanuts is FINE. Peanuts are delicious and good for most of us. BUT SURELY you'd check before doing so?

PEANUTS OK?
"YUM YES PLEASE"
*POUR PEANUTS WITH ABANDON*

PEANUTS OK?
"NO THANKS I'M ALLERGIC"
NO PEANUTS FOR YOU KID HAPPY HALLOWE'EN

At one of the houses my friend's kid went to tonight, they poured peanuts (in their shells) directly into the kids' hands without letting them know it was going to be peanuts.

This seems like BASIC LEVEL AWARENESS to not just pour known allergens directly onto humans without checking first.

Yep. Our experience is different but i hear you 100%. There are so many judgements and expectations on women (cis and trans) around appearance and it's bullshit. Neither you nor I should be weighed/valued/judged on how we look.

I also know you were probably being flip about it so please take this with the love I am sending with it rather than as me starting a row x

My point is that it's the same with that terf MP. Her appearance and her awfulness are unrelated.

But by making your dig at her about her appearance, you're stinging those of us who are, eh, aesthetically challenged, by saying that she looks like a terf because she isn't pretty.

I'm guessing from the "ex-model" in your bio that physical attractiveness has been an big factor in your life. I mostly look like a cross between a thumb and a toad in real life. I'm cool with it, i don't owe anyone a pretty face.
My appearance is not who I am.

Hello. I am very ugly. Does that mean I have to be a terf now? What on earth is this pov?

Remember a short comment I made maybe last year to Yann Lecun about how research papers could be faked with LLMs, and he told me no reputable journal would accept it. When I literally showed him a study that executed such a thing, he commented that no reputable journals were named in the study...

Dr Abeba Birhane @abeba.bsky.social · 5d

the amount of academic research now using llms in research (synthetic data generation, to classify, annotate, or analyse large scale data, etc) is astounding. remember, just cus use of llms in research is becoming normalised does NOT erase the fact it degrades the research & undermine your results

If you’re curious about “25 ready baked ideas” for #housing they include building garden sheds & dark studios the size of 2 parking spaces; super inflating land values; & new shortcuts that risk “irregular practices”, public safety, the environment, & incurring fines on climate targets #halfbaked

Last time I travelled to the US was October 2016. Not going back. I feel like people think *they* are somehow immune to fuckery. No they are not.

When you say you love facts, that's 100% a lie right?

Is it just me that got the ick at all the Heather-ing and Catherine-ing over the past few months?

Is it even fair of me to have the ick about it given I own a Miggledy tshirt?
