start getting to know your local trans community if you don’t already. is all i will say on this topic.

there was also a Stanford study that found that a surge in AI slop by lazy people actually created significantly more work for others who had to decipher and correct it

this "I'm being efficient" (but not really) vibes well with the American obsession with artifice and appearing productive

i think, if you don't want to hang out or do something with me, i would rather you just be honest about it instead of like. pointedly avoiding the subject.

you can like women and be a trans woman
you can have no bottom dysphoria and be a trans woman
you can be awful at fighting games and be a trans woman

this is extremely fucking important, esp with what just happened in kansas. they are trying to criminalize every aspect of our existence. i try not to be alarmist about things but this is where we are and it is BAD bad

I've reported 2-3 stories in my career that have sucked the spirit out of my body and this was one of them. But! Seeing the response of the fgc to help their brother genuinely put it right back. Im humbled to have been trusted with this. Help your neighbors friends those in need are all around you.

And then finding out the worlds most famous monster played a part in it for the expressed purpose of making you easier to traffic?

It's been a rough decade.

It really is either you support trans rights or you support Hitler 2.0

Especially when it feels quite clear that that attitude is not being applied evenly.

I don’t particularly like the idea of policing how people get frustrated or how they vent that frustration. Or making them feel like shit for *being* frustrated.
