Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.
Vicki's book "We Deserve This" set-out over a table that's been draped with a granny-square-afghan
On this #TransDayofVisibility, if you're seeking an authoritative collection of TransJoy, look no further than "We Deserve This. A Transfeminine Automotive Lookbook" [Carrara, 2024], by @victoriascott.bsky.social. Truly a love-letter, & one everybody ought to read
I had a consult literally yesterday and the surgeon kinda said they can't do clitoral crura? 😕 I'm currently spinning in circles trying to work out *why* and *how much* clit-boners matter to me 😵💫
I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed. Love u

apparently Wikipedia has more rigorous standards than every university on the planet, university administrators, edtech enthusiasts, (certainly more than) AI bros, several prominent academic journals, and too many professors and teachers
panel 1: a person is pointing on a bed where cats are lying in a way that leaves a vaguely human outline in the middle, saying "this is my hole!! it was made for me!! panel 2: a twisted shape of a person lies on the bed, screaling silently as the cats sleep peacefully in random positions
hey, i made a terrible comic instead of working #makeaterriblecomicday2025
Me: "AI company asks AI to do unethical thing, publishes press release when it does. Are we trying to avert or immanentize the Torment Nexus, anyway?"
@aaronsofaer.bsky.social: "All of the "AI" companies are trying to immanentize the Torment Nexus and most of them will even admit it out loud."
Shock! Groundbreaking New Study Finds The Same Thing As The Last Three
Hm! Could you combine this with binary search by e.g. using FFT (bit-reversed) ordering for the array?
They're so Not Gay that they manage to have an all-male system of reproduction - no icky women necessary. Can't get more Not Gay than that!
'Every accusation is a confession' is still the best model we have of their collective mind.
Goose chase meme: WHY DOES MY NERVOUS SYSTEM NEED TO BE RESET WHAT'S UPSETTING IT imgflip.com
low key convinced all the talk about how to reset your nervous system is capitalist propaganda tbh
Highly amused by the stories of companies using agentic AI chatbots to run their internal company stores, only for their employees to immediately Bugs Bunny the chatbot into giving them free stuff www.aiweirdness.com/when-a-chatb...
'bugs bunnying' is the perfect term, because it invariably involves doing almost literally this to an LLM chatbot
If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.
It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.
Yea
That's why you'd feed the data forward into a new iframe.
Rule 110 is Turing-complete, so if you can implement it in SVG...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_110
You can make memory out of logic gates (obviously, that's what SRAM is) and make a clock out of iframes (tarpitted on the server side) that each peek at the previous iframe's pixels (using the cross-frame bug).
There's going to be a limit on how many "clock cycles" you can get this way, though
If you're cis, trans people are your coalmine canary for a collection of civil liberties.
BODILY AUTONOMY: does your body belong to you, or to your parents/husband/state?
PRIVACY: do you owe everyone you meet a full medical history?
EXPRESSION: to what extent is your clothing a legal matter?
had to see what this disambiguation hatnote was about and sure enough, apple's original thumbnail (before they fixed it):
“I’m not worried AI will take my job. I’m worried some executive or management person is going to *think* it can.”

Precisely. Banning young people from social media just so ill-informed boomers can get over their made-up moral panic simply ends up harming the most vulnerable, for whom social media are a critical lifeline. 👇👇👇
How about "RBA companies' utter incompetence at raising productivity means they will have to accept lower profit growth"
AFR headline: RBA says Australians will have to accept lower wages growth
How about no.
Your periodic reminder that "biological sex" is a propaganda term spread by anti-trans groups, largely pushed by Christian Nationalists orgs like Alliance Defending Freedom; Family Resource Council & Family Policy Alliance; and the Heritage Foundation.

I had to expunge my thoughts on Bluesky's current, uh, choppy waters into a proper blog post (which jay can't take down for being too mean or saying 'lol' in a threatening way)

I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD
