The funniest thing about calling genAI haters "Luddites" is that the actual Luddites didn't smash sewing machines becase "technology bad." They were protesting that their jobs were being automated out to mass underpaid workers, using garment techniques they had developed

‼️NEW: Universities have tried to axe over 15,000 staff this year. Yet the vice-chancellors responsible are paying themselves more than ever before. We’re balloting to save higher education. Our GS @DrJoGrady broke the story on @BBCRadio4 this morning👇

Women are being left in unnecessary pain and with gynaecological conditions undiagnosed because of what's been called "medical misogyny". On #BBCBreakfast Frances Reed spoke to Sarah Owen MP, Chair of the Women and Equalities Committee, spoke to #BBCBreakfast about their report bbc.co.uk/news

In light of this bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly4… I am reposting my thread about how we need to take Period pain MORE seriously not LESS. The solution is NOT to force girls in pain to attend school. The solution is to fucking address their pain so they don't lose days every month.
🧵ON PERIODS: At @cosmicshambles #NineCarols on Sat, I talked about how we are neglecting women's pain & bleeding. The continuing stigma and silence around periods is pathetic, wrong, devastating for women and economically nonsensical. Some facts. 1/23 theguardian.com/society/2022…
