Who might I be? @jiangshinigami - Tumblr Blog

Decided to make a new little tag to put on my personal posts, whether it be me yapping, posting art, whatever

that tag is #Jianghi Talks

If you generally like seeing what I post, I recommend following it, I'll also be using it over on @jiangshi-art (which you should totally go and follow too)

#Jiangshi Talks #probably won't be on *everything* i post but most things #also gonna go back and throw it on some old posts maybe

I keep seeing chatGPT ads that have someone typing a prompt starting with "between us...."

Which feels very manipulative, suggesting that you have any ounce of privacy while using that thing, rather than everything you enter being tracked and stored in a database.

#jiangshi talks #fuck ai #fuck generative ai #fuck genai #fuck chatgpt #fuck openai #fuck all of that!!!!

A fair bit ago one of my friends (not particularly close) gave me a trans flag pin for my bag, which says "my pronouns are she/they". Which, while I did appreciate the gift, since I'm quite proud of my trans identity, it's not correct about.

My pronouns are she/her, not she/they. At this point, I've decided to just get rid of it. It just stings to have it on my bag.

#jiangshi talks #i'd love to have something to represent my identity on me #just not something that misrepresents it #trans #transfem #trans girl #misgendering #cw misgendering

Good lord cool it with the phishing bots!!!

hell-on-sticks

Today in australia they started senate hearings on the bill the government hopes will make enough disabled people die or disappear to make us all less irritatingly expensive for them. We had two weeks to submit feedback on over 400 pages of complicated legal terms. They don't care what we have to say and they don’t care that this will kill people and disenfranchise disabled people across the country.

There are 760,000 Australians on the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the system that - if they feel like it and your personalised plan says you get to have it - provides funding for everything from personal hygiene care to support workers to therapies to assistive technology. It's already very hard for disabled people to get on the NDIS, regardless of your disability. It's near impossible to access most support and equipment without being on the NDIS. And the government has announced that they want that number to drop to 600,000 in four years. 160,000 of us cut off the Scheme - and countless more denied access. This will cause deaths. People will die and people will suffer because there is no safety net. The NDIS is the only option for most of us. Even private health insurance doesn't cover most of these things. Nobody will swoop in to save us.

The bill wants to give the (non disabled!) NDIS minister basically unlimited power to cut our funding. They're already planning what they'd do with that power. What rights they'll strip from us. What dignity and freedom they'll remove to make their budget look better.

The bill wants to force people to try every treatment out there before they're allowed to be on the NDIS. Including if the treatment is literally impossible to access. There’s a lot of us living in regional areas or out bush who can't just pop to the capital cities for specialists. This will especially hurt disabled First Nations people in regional and remote communities, who already experience limited access to healthcare. Oh, and it includes chemical restraint, too. The government has directly refused to exclude chemical restraint from the required process, calling it "trialling medication".

If you're australian and worried, the ABC did a good breakdown of the proposed changes.

I know australia stuff doesn't really pop up on the radar on this site, but I want everyone to know what's going on. What we're fighting for here. Your australian disabled friends might be NDIS participants fearing for their life, rights, and freedom. They might not be a participant and afraid these changes mean they never will have access. We deserve better. The government built a system with no backup plan, and now they want hundreds of thousands of disabled people to pay the price for their bad planning.

Sorry we're too expensive to have rights, I guess.
