More than 50,000 people have now written to their hospitals asking them not to use the terrifying Palantir's software.
Why not add your name to theirs? goodlawproject.org/campaign/sto...
If that was true, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be hearing about it from some random mustachioed man on the internet..
Since the #Olympics are on, let's repost a classic thread here: a brief history of the practice of "sex verification" in sport.

She was a perfect example of why other people need to wear masks even if they don’t personally think Covid will hurt them”

The lady at the charity shop today told me that she wishes people would clear out their children's old toys in the lead up to Christmas rather than after because she always sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas looking for toys for their little ones who might be strapped for cash. She said there's very rarely anything in just before, but that they get inundated with toys in the days after. And it really made me think about it in a way I never would have before. If you know your child is going to get lots of presents from father Christmas this year, by clearing out your cupboards a few days early you could make another child's Christmas a lot more special too. Saw this & thought I'd repost

Listen to this young lady, protect yourselves. Don’t wait for the messaging, it’s already been over 5 years! We have an estimated 409 million with long Covid now. Over 28 million have died. We need to help each other #WeShareTheAir
“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”
Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!
When we don’t stand up for other people’s rights, the Overton window slides and then it can be us who need help. Please don’t let this happen. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
We have a fight on our hands to keep vaccines in the UK. So please start by signing up to help the 13 million vulnerable who have had these cut. If we don’t start being loudly vocal then the US is our future and its incoming fast.
