  Just a reminder you're all very lovely. Yes even you. Yes, I'm sober. Just wanted to let you know you're doing great and 99.99999999% of interactions I've had on here since the start have been really lovely, and that says a lot about you all. #lovely

  I remember thinking during various #therapy in my life, it must be so good to be a therapist with their life together, owning their mental health so perfectly. I'm now a therapist, and let me tell you, we absolutely have horrendous mental health days and good ones and everything in between. All humans do. If you're having a bad #mentalhealth day you are not alone, you are not broken. There's no silver bullet, just keep moving through & coping as you are able 🫂 and please be ki...

  🚨 People vs Palantir: England day of action! 🚨 On Thursday 1st October NHS patients, health workers and activists across England are taking action to say NO to Palantir in the NHS. With Palantir's deeply controversial NHS contract up for renewal, we are calling on the government to back the break clause and get this company out of our health service. This national day of action is part of a “People vs Palantir” global week of action, which will see mobilisations happening across the world.

  Nice bit of AI bias today about my pronouns... Was working on some Engineering Manager requirements and got called "he". I challenged it and this was the response: "I do know you're female, and I should have referred to you correctly. I mistakenly defaulted to "he" because I was imagining the engineering manager" #siggggghhhhh

  Helped someone with some PhD research earlier today, and oh boy was that eye opening. We were a focus group questioned about AI use in therapy and wow outside of my tech savvy bubble of clients (&me) that shit sounds TERRIFYING. I mean, it's an absolute clusterfuck of trial and error, privacy invasion, and biased incorrect tooling in the hands of very vulnerable people thinking it's(ai) "smart". I guess I knew that but having it directly discussed in real life case studies...

  Folks I know at #emfcamp, I've been a little chilly at night and tonight looks pretty colder than the others. Anyone got a spare cover at all? Will pick up! Am in a summer sleeping bag with pjs and been wrapping up in my fleece dressing gown also. So just any sort of blanket, fleece, etc?

  RE: https://hachyderm.io/@advancedrubbish/116880330260446695 OK I've set up the SIP client. And of course my number is... 6090. But only because some bastard got 6969. And 8008.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@Thayer/116736036642253631 Oh dear. Further to my #AI problem with the #NHS using AI that stopped my meds (story quoted below), now we're all going to be subjected to it as first line.

  Day 10 of this v weird and somewhat mentally debilitating virus. So strange! Starts with sore throat and temp (day 1) moved through classic "staying in bed" flu for 2 days, brain fog like I've never experienced. 2 days of getting a bit better, then a week of chest infection vibes and yesterday could barely breath. In bed by 8pm every night, night sweats. Today's vibe - big headache! Can't eat really either, lost 2kgs in the last week. Anyone else got som...

  #HIRING! Senior Engineer, #python based full stack but leaning to devops/infra. 70/30 would be my ideal split. Fully remote UK only, £63,000 non negotiable sadly, but ~20% pension on top. Closing date: WEDS NOON! So get in touch (thayer@team-prime.com) asap if this might be you. Org: healthcare, data, ~30 person team. Zero AI currently in place, but some may be implemented very gently/ethically/thoughtfully over the next year, or not! Would esp suit someone who prefers chill vs rocket ship.

  #emfcamp people! I am coming this year for the first time, and solo. What ONE tip (seriously just one) would you give someone coming, and read the ones before so there's no doubles. If you like a tip from someone else just fave it and I'll know it's most awesome, dude.

  Just turned a client down who treated me and my candidate like shit during a first engagement. 20 years of doing this and saying 'no' to people who recruit disrespectfully still feels fantastic. My dudes: I do this because I love getting great folks great jobs. That's why I'm well regarded in the industry. I work equally for my candidates *and* client who pays me, and every smart company hiring knows that's why the best in the business are in my rollerdeck...

  I made a perfectly adequate #VEGAN okinomiyaki 🥰 The recipe linked below, but adapted it with miso instead of dashi, aquafava instead of egg (1 chickpea tin worth = 2 eggs ish) and vegan mayo, and no fish flakes. Vegan bacon on top. https://youtu.be/tfevWf1Ktkw?si=qnImJk2SVOaNifBb (This recipe non-vegan is also excellent btw)

  RE: https://mas.to/@swisslet/116369051006793289 OK thanks to @swisslet letting me know it could be dangerous, I did some research on if putting animal fur out for birds is actually OK or not. It's not if you're animal has *ever* been treated with a spot on type flea or tick treatment, so I've removed my post and my fur!! Thank you for sharing @swisslet and reminding me to double check anything I think I'm doing that helps wildlife! 😅 https://www.songbird-surviva...

  Just discovered part of my HRT has been discontinued due to an AI note taking error. Gynae did not say discontinue, and I have letters to prove it. Now I may have to be without testosterone until this is proven, which may mean another 6 month wait to resee a gynaecologist via NHS. Hopefully my letters will suffice, but currently unclear. I am beyond furious. Also, wow. Fuck living in this dystopia. Keep every medical record you get, you're going to need it in this new terrifying time...
