The UK government must prioritise housing homeless British citizens not illegal immigrants and black trans women. The UK government and Serco must not give guaranteed rent to private landlords to house illegal immigrants but must give white British homeless people permanent housing through paying guaranteed rent to landlords as well as building more

Slept way better last night, thankfully. Still got a hellish sore throat and general lurgi this morning. A blend of paracetamol, ibuprofen, and lemon, ginger, and honey drink seems appropriate!

"The Gainesville Intermediate School was aware Carranza was being bullied and mocked by students who told the young girl she would be left alone when her parents got deported. It had gotten so aggressive, Carranza was meeting with a school counselor multiple times a week. Her family, however, was never notified."

Yes I agree that those are the primary places where adults teach youth that bigotry and oppressive behavior is acceptable.
Other school workers and administrators almost certainly knew this was happening and are probably the ones who set her up with counselor services in the first place, so it wasn't "on" the counselor to "tell" them. (This is, in part, an illustration of how abuse is "erased" by reframing it as a "mental health issue" of the victim.)
Yes every adult in the school failed her. I simply don't see "telling the victim's parents without the victim's consent" as something that could have fixed this.
(What could the parents have done? Anything the parents could have done about the bullies, other adults *also* could have done about the bullies. Other adults in the school could also have a conversation with her about why it might be a good idea to tell her parents - while ultimately trusting her to make that call as the person who knew her family/living situation best.)

@sal at one point it was part of my job to intervene in cases of harassment: peer to peer or up or down gradients of hierarchy. There was no wiggle room. It was intervene or assume legal liability and moral responsibility.
It was a complex job, but nothing got to me like cases of harassment: usually sexual harassment, but a few were rooted in gender, race, and ethnicity
I can still see the eyes of every single victim who came ito my office thinking they were alone and powerless.

Last year I found myself needing to have some 10000 pictures automatically tagged.

I found that all existing software either cost a silly amount of money, required a subscription, and/or was cloud based.

So I decided to write an #opensource App running on the local machine, free for everyone to use. Here it is.

It works like a charm with #darktable 😊

"Since getting re-elected in Nov., Trump has repeatedly called for Canada to join the US as the 51st state but has said he wants to use economic, not military force, to make that happen"

“After we destroy their economy their will to resist will erode. We will then march in unopposed & deliver Canada to its rightful place as a territory of the U.S. with no political representation.”

New year, new big art thread! The place for my almost-daily posts featuring art I love, usually modern and contemporary since that's my thing! First up:

Paintings by American artist Lynne Drexler, 1960s, who studied under Hans Hofmann and Robert Motherwell and was associated with second-gen Abstract Expressionism, but her work was overshadowed by her (then) more successful husband, artist John Hultberg.
