frankly, it still seems like the only job AI replaces is idea guys who don't know how to make things and the investor class is just frothing at the mouth for it because they're all idea guys who don't know how to make things.
credit cards shouldn't tell you what to buy. you're supposed to tell the credit card what to buy. thats the point i think

The lack of algorithm on Bluesky tells me that we were fools to accept it elsewhere. We all now talk about how Musk uses it to suppress dissent on twitter, but he hardly invented it. Letting someone else set parameters for what you see is maybe the most poisonous thing that social media normalised.
Elon Musk is one of the worst mass murderers of the 21st Century.

oh wow, I don't know whether to laugh or cry
Heh, I'm very happy you did 🖤 (especially considering so many people still think aro people can't have a relationship at all)

During that relationship talk, both the "what even is romance" and the reaction to the idea of moving in together hit hard! Especially the latter is something I haven't seen anyone voice in a book before and I felt so seen!!
Finished Baker Thief by @clh2oars.bsky.social and now reading its sequel (out sooon!) and I SO wish I had these as a teen. Would have been a big lightbulb moment re being aroace + gender stuff. Especially Claude talking about being aro was like looking in the mirror, damn 🥹😍

Can we fast forward to 2026 pleeeaaase 🔥🤩
Holy fuck. This is a gift link and you should read the whole thing.
No cops at Pride includes the cop in your head who tells you to police other queer people. Learn the difference between being uncomfortable and being harmed. Deal with your discomfort on your own time. Pride is for the community, not just you.

happy pride, reminder to not gatekeep asexuals or get shitty about bi/pan people whose relationships "don't look gay enough"
clicked that Pledge button so damn fast 🤩
Transphobia is a load-bearing pillar of fascism, because the truth and freedom that transness represents are incompatible with fascism. Every trans person who comes out despite the horrors is another crack in that pillar. Every ally who vociferously defends trans people cracks the pillar.
No exceptions. If you use Gen A I in any capacity whatsoever, you suck.
Yes, the way you're using it too. You're not special.
"She probably doesn't mean me"
I do.
Pride Month is here so how about we go hard on supporting this Kickstarter before it runs out of time?!

yes, that too! I've heard from multiple authors who previously published scifi that they "have to" write romantasy now, because that's all publishers want, no scifi
I've noticed this too! I track (mostly queer though) SFFH titles and to me 2019 was THE year for scifi and then it kept going down (and down hard the last 1-2 years)
The chill otter is laying down next to a phone with rainbow beams fanning out of it. They look at the phone and see it says June 1st, and after a brief contemplation, they snuggle up under a progress pride blanket, phone plugged in farther away. It reads “It’s ok if you are tired. Happy *quiet, chill* Pride.”
Happy *quiet, chill* Pride.
