I love this artwork, and also Hailey's beautiful explanation of it.
She's using newspaper articles about Operation Tarantula, a police operation which targeted transfems/travesti like Hailey back in the day in Brazil. I love that she's turning this pain into something new. <3

www.404media.co/startups-bra... isnt the reason we’re meant to tolerate these ppl’s abuse is that they’re “job creators”? capitalists long for the wall, theyre diligently removing every historical obstacle bt them & the wall, their boners are visible through their pants & theyre dry humping the wall
In my experience, the gays who were active in the gay rights movement support trans rights now.
The gays who stayed home and scolded the activists for stirring things up are the ones who are now trying to ditch trans people.
why are ai folks so bent about me hating it. fine, i'll fall behind! let me!!! fuck off!!!!
One thing I am proud of is the research I did on Autistic girls and School exclusion, whilst living in a volatile relationship. It even got published!

Dear elderly dog: please do not die before your humans get home.
Also, if you could not sleep so deeply that I have a tiny heart attack calling you for dinner, I'd appreciate that, too.
It's perfectly fine and good and normal and healthy that anything with words that anyone has put any fucking time into is labeled "AI slop" because why would any actual human use so many words? I'm going to walk into the ocean.

Super cool how I spent a few hours doing comprehensive write-up of my weekend at Sphere for the Phish subreddit and half the comments are people saying I used AI to write it. Why did I bother getting an MFA and writing a column for 10+ years? Fucking bleak as shit.
I worked at a Sunglass Hut the summer between undergrad and grad school in 2005(?) and that was just enough of an insight into Luxottica’s business practices that I’ve been very anti-Luxottica ever since.

during the november run @geraldinepiche.bsky.social and @croptop.me decided to get in on the fun and it'd be great to grow the tent and make more people happy
This is a great example of the pathological thought pattern that I keep seeing everywhere on here but can never put a name to. It’s this like, aggressively escalatory response to the idea that some random user wrote a post that’s not tailored to your prior knowledge & reading comprehension level
Me agreeing to a new project knowing full well it’s gonna add stress 🇲🇽

(Don't be mad at me, I'm simply reporting)
(I follow some folks with health issues who get deeeeeeeeeeep in the acronyms and shorthand talking to each other. I'm used to seeing terms I don't recognize.)
I'm not familiar with the term URI, but blumigos who talk about their health usually aren't doing so for the first time - it's often commiseration with folks in similar straits, or who they're closer with & just happening in public.
More simply: she's grumbling to friends, not writing an article.
I do think that people who are out here claiming that creatives who found that PR offputting are hysterical and anti-progress is also terrible PR!
we're in a pretty terrible PR cycle on a lot of fronts!
That doesn't have to be everyone's line! I'm sure it's easier to brush off if you didn't have to read their emails laughing about how they were going to do it, and then their interviews claiming that they must be allowed to do it for PROGRESS and progress also means replacing you!
It's bad PR!
Can I opt out of everything? Obviously not.
But, you know, I'm mad they took something I was so excited about and made it both sketchy and stupid while derailing so much progress we could have been making on non-sketchy and also non-stupid versions, so here we are.
(my actual factual opinion on AI is going to remain: you don't get to steal other people's work and then charge for it, you skeezy ass motherfuckers.
since I don't have time to deep dive every single model to see if they trained it ethically, I opt out until we've resolved this situation.)
