hey, uh, y'all *do* know that chatgpt *is* generative ai, too, right? it's not just art. gen-ai is not just stealing & scraping the internet for art, it is *also* stealing & scraping the internet for all types of written word.
you cannot be anti gen-ai and still use chatgpt. all gen-ai is harmful.

feral discourse going around allegedly in this day and age. who gives a shit. puritans are taking away your rights and molesting children and doing who knows what to animals, porn is not the enemy and never has been, and it took me too long to realize that but its never too late to learn better.
hit 'em where it hurts!! 🥰✨
The color of your skin won’t save you, your gender won’t save you, having a gun won’t save you, having papers won’t save you, being a defenseless child won’t save you.
Were it that anybody in power was even a thousandth as brave as those standing up to this, so brave as to risk their very lives.
I write to you today to STRONGLY OPPOSE House Bill 2112 (2026) and urge you to vote against this measure in your assembly. While I appreciate the impetus behind the Bill, it will not accomplish its goals and will only serve to criminalize speech which is protected by the United States Constitution. Firstly, and foremost, it is the responsibility of parents to police the actions of their children, to prevent them from accessing objectionable content online, and protect them from harm. This is a PARENTING PROBLEM and nearly every internet enabled hardware device comes with built-in content controls ("Parental Controls") designed to accomplish this level of content filtering and control. The legislature should not be imposing regulation on private individuals—the adults legally accessing the "objectionable content" defined in HB2112—to address a parenting problem. Encourage parents to be more involved and engaged in their children's lives, to employ the tools available to them, and to restrict access to devices and internet access inappropriate for their children. Secondly, imposing compliance with age verification software on all Internet sites that display images defined within the Bill is a fundamental invasion of privacy. While Section 2.2 states that identifying information may not be retained, that simply isn't practical and, if audited by the State, presents logistical challenges for said verifiers. The verification process would also create a "paper trail" through computer log data with which the State could potentially link verification queries with individuals and sites, building profiles on individuals, which is inappropriate and grotesque!
Thirdly, Section 1.7(c) of the Bill is ambiguous and subjective, without exception for amateur expression. Who is to say what works of art, by which artists, is of merit? Who will be the arbiter of "serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value"? This is not a sufficient definition of acceptability. It's dangerous, McCarthy-esque language. Look, I'm sure you're getting a lot of these messages right now, and I appreciate that your staff is busy and possibly overwhelmed with work. This is a bad bill that will not accomplish its objectives of making the internet safer for children. The reality is that the internet is not a safe place for children to spend time unsupervised and without content restrictions. Parents need to use the tools available to them—on their children's devices, laptops, home wifi routers, etc.—to make the content restrictions necessary to protect their children as they see fit. It is not the place of the Legislature to impose mass content restriction on everyone "for the children" when the solution is far simpler and already exists. I sincerely urge you to vote against this bill. Thank you for your service to your communities and the State of Washington.
Do you live in Washington State?
I need you to do two things:
1) Go here (app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?...) & read HB 2112.
2) Go here (app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/2112) & leave a comment urging your representatives to vote AGAINST the bill.
This is SERIOUS shit. Please!

Last night during stream I was informed that @jesskay.bsky.social had passed away after being in a car accident and in the ICU for a while.. Jess was an amazingly kindhearted and punny individual who had been popping into my streams since late 2021. They showed up to almost every one...
Why am I streaming?
Because I want to talk. I need to talk.
Because deep down and truly, I know she'd want me to.
TODAY... I'm remembering a friend, and hopefully giving back a little light in a very dark place.
Join me in remembering, as we LIGHT UP THE TOWN

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet:
“Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”
That is way too adorable
Here’s a block list for those interested:
Something I wish more #furries understood. Sex workers are not just stripers and escorts, but anyone who makes money through adult content. This includes NSFW artists. Sexuality is part of humanity, and sex worker rights protect your rights. The #furry community, lgbt rights.
It is now official, anyone who says "LGB without the T" is a confirmed fed and should be treated accordingly.
TELL YOUR NORMIE FRIENDS AND FAMILY IF THEY DON’T VOTE WITH US THEY AREN’T AN ALLY!
They’re coming for Obergefell! Furries better wake the fuck up and drop the uwu no politics shit. I want to escape the new cycle as much as you but we can’t and won’t.
If you care at ALL about anything I do or represent. Sign this.
I usually don't put myself forward like this, and I've been doing it more recently because my existence and lifestyle is under attack by conservative prudes.
Sign it.

I’ve now advanced another level today, shame I can’t put points into health like you can in so many games
CLARIFICATION :
The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.
They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY
So spread this around
They can be texted. They can be called.
