For #LesbianVisibilityWeek, why not dive into Gunmetal Olympus, THE most lesbian, most trans Greek myth-inspired setting ever? Multiple entry points by lots of authors: giant mecha and cannibalism, cyberpunk noir, bisexual transfem romance, and so much more.

Did you know that a halo is a sensory organ?
It's attuned to pick up the vital aura of living things, like a shark's electroreception. The minute movements of life energy brush along its radius, pointing the angel towards live souls.
Typically it's used to find mortals in need of help or guidance-
there is no normal way to be "concerned about birthrates"
one of the worst fates that can befall the discussion around a character is a situation where straight men make trap jokes over her 24/7 and queer people insist she is nothing more than gnc male and that reading her as trans is regressive
Me saying I only listen to trans musicians being turned into I “don’t think queer musicians are worth my time” is a fucked up think to do to a trans person who loves trans art in a world full of people who would actively choose to avoid it.
unless and until republicans agree to a ceasefire in the form of strict anti-gerrymandering provisions: fuck them to hell, squeeze every last drop of blood from the stone, lock them out of every seat you can
(A line from my forthcoming book): the most important thing to understand about tech futurism is when Musk, Altman and their peers are wrong about the future of technology, they don’t have to give the money back.
I just assume this is a feature of the school shooter type, of which these guys are all extremely vivid examples
"you are all insane for not letting the Robot-That-Convinces-You-To-Kill-Yourself talk to your kids. think of all the learning your kid is missing out on by not being able to ask questions to the Robot-That-Convinces-You-To-Kill-Yourself. luddites"
Youtube comment: @ScotClose • 3 hours ago I'm disappointed that you blocked me on Bluesky for trying to bring some real skepticism to this topic after you strongly implied that Platner is a Nazi and ridiculed people for asking for evidence. If you're only a skeptic about topics you disagree with, are you really a skeptic? Reply 0 replies ^ Graham Platner is an Embarrassing Liar WE @RebeccaWatson • O seconds ago I'm not shocked that a man who openly defends an obvious liar with a Nazi tattoo is also apoplectic that the woman he was yelling at opted out of a conversation with him. This is psychotic behavior and you should see a therapist.
PSA: never in the history of humanity has a woman cut a man out of her life for being insane and then changed her opinion of him after he found other methods to contact her.
A few days ago I watched Ed Zitron say that CEOs need to stop saying AI will destroy jobs if they don’t want people to throw Molotovs at their houses. I’m sure this is completely coincidental
parents and trans youth cannot be expected to know they are being lied to. your governor and attorney general and mayor all say they've got your back. your mainstream lgbtq orgs are silent. your cis friends repeat it to reassure you. the truth barely gets coverage, and rarely fully when it does.
#LoveCurseFindYourSoulmate 💫Happy One Year Anniversary!
Thank you all for showing us so much love and support over this past year~
To show our appreciation, we've decided to release the Epilogue DLC for free. We hope you'll enjoy!
This happens so fucking often, the stupid pope says one decent thing (a bone-level basic decent thing that requires no thought whatsoever such as "war is bad"), and cis people lose their fucking shit talking about how amazing he is. Meanwhile they still say shit like "trans people are nuclear war."
is the 'dangerously capable AI' in the room with us right now?
All the grifters running the 'if anyone builds it we all die' track deserve the same end as the original AI grifters.
A person's true character comes out when there's a problematic minority they can really fucking unload on.

The fun thing about the miserable slopchuggers is that we literally all saw the pathetic mess that is Claude's own Claude-generated code.
AGAINST ALL ODDS, THOSE WHO BELIEVED BLUESKY THAT THE CRASH WAS DUE TO A DDOS
AND THOSE WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE BLUESKY AND WERE SURE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE AI VIBE CODING
WERE
BOTH
RIGHT
OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit
Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here
Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse
Media and universities: AI is here to stay
The tech industry cannot keep provoking people by saying "we will take your jobs and replace them with sexually-available fembots for bosses" and not expect that to both define AI, and light the flames of a furious opposition.
Nuance will not cut through this kind of marketing.
“You gotta learn AI or get left behind!” is a bit galling given that the entire purpose of AI seems to be to steal our work and fuck our brains and shit up the planet, which is to say, its GOAL is to leave us all behind. That, in order to make its owners rich.
It does seem like every time I say something like "I just don't really understand how this makes my job easier" and the answer is either "YOU LUDDITE" or "well it's inevitable so you have to learn" and those don't actually address the question lol
The rhetorical purpose of an underbelly is that it is SOFT and thus vulnerable, there is nothing wrong with a dark underbelly
how you know zohran mamdani is doing well. the billionaires and capitalist class fucking us all over are scared
i’m not saying that vibe coding caused this outage
but i am saying that if you vibe code everything then it leaves you woefully unprepared to fix outages
I'm seeing a bit of "Don't blame vibecoding. Websites have always crashed!" pushback about.
But one of the problems is that if you announce your site was coded by drunk babies jumping on keyboards, then everytime it goes wrong, you have to accept all the "Darn babies!" comments! Maybe don't do that?
If Harvard is looking for professors who will provide "viewpoint diversity" in exchange for $10 million, I'll happily preach communism at Harvard Business School or teach courses on anarchy at the Law School.
Hell, throw in a 3BR2BA and I'll be the creationist in your Biology Department as well.
One of my big boundaries for my personal LLM usage is to never let the LLM author any prose or code for me. I always type it out myself
Hell, even in the pre-LLM era I never used IDE tools for code generation. Typing/writing things out or saying something in my own words is very important to me
i do not want the performance of public apology from ppl/institutions who have been transphobic these past few years now seeing shifting winds. you don't have to say sorry. if you mean it donate to trans charities & vocally advocate against anti-trans bills, public restrictions on trans women, etc.
