By the way, if any of you all are using anything "created" by Made By Olof, including that Bluesky Unwrapped thing, just a word of caution. He uses and loves genAI. Literally says it on his profile. Also, shoutout to @camcantanything.bsky.social for pointing it out.

Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.

Listen to Sailor Moon. (Also, transfeminine people are beautiful regardless of whether they are feminine or "passable", damn it.)

Things are Terrible, but this isn't. Be weird.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is. It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

the number one requirement for the next Dem president is that they are willing to look back with a flamethrower

Been harder and harder to get through the days but I can't give up. Giving up never solves anything.

After a long discussion with environmentalists, it was decided that our dearest . should be left to continue their migration in peace. You may still observe them from a safe distance. And if you do disturb them, may the Fury have no mercy on your soul.

Guess I'll post this again

[ FFXIV ] > Enters a ranked PVP match > Loads in > IMMEDIATELY gets this

These people are so obsessed with other people's genitals and their private medical concerns... For fucks sake. In the meantime, I’ll keep knocking on the doors of our representatives and senators to advocate for comprehensive protections for bodily autonomy between families and their doctors.

I remember a girl I smoked with at Anthrocon one year say "fascism is predisposed to happen when a lot of rich white men are about to go to jail" and I never saw a better demonstration of it than this

"but what if they can't draw" here's hideo kojima making level blockouts for metal gear solid 1 and 2 with LEGO I am begging AI bros to use their brains for two seconds

So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."

Keep going. Be meaner. Aim whatever lizard-brain impulse you have towards cruelty and violence in this direction.

Creative solidarity means: If you're a writer, do not use AI "art" or AI "voiceover" If you're an artist, do not use AI "writing" or AI "references" If you're a streamer/actor, do not use AI for backdrops, thumbnails, etc. Never help AI steal another medium No excuses, no shortcuts, no surrender.

Here’s a great idea: how about you just don’t use it in ANY part of the fuckin process then?? Gdi

Due to a thoroughly disappointing interaction on the decaying bird site, I'd like to remind everyone: Trans rights are human rights.

if you intake a lot of "news" content, i know that it can feel like a lot is going wrong very fast. but what you don't hear about in the "news" is the quiet, constant effort of billions of good people who are trying in every small way they can to make the world a better place. we. outnumber. them.

DO NOT I repeat DO NOT RUN THIS ON YOUR WORK COMPUTER! If you want IT dept, especially your head security admin to headhunt you to take you the fuck out, then do. Or even be fired for it then be my guest. I may not have finished my degree in cyber security. But I promise you, this isn’t wise.

TL;DR: The game isn't free, it's prepaid. JKR is still alive and still making profit off of this.

CANCEL your Fortnite subscriptions and DELETE the game from all your computers. Choosing—and yes, it is a CHOICE— to license Harry Potter in 2025 sends a message: "We do not care about trans people." No amount of Miku or trans-colored cosmetic items can make up for this. bsky.app/profile/jazz...

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

you gotta reject generative AI. if for no other reason, you gotta at least do it as a Fuck You to the bazillion-dollar companies (that have been awful for ages, for a hundred different reasons), so that their giant wasteful investments into this trash turn into a lump of coal.

Reminder

TOMORROW: Congress is pushing through a package of bills which include an online ID check mandate that would fence off the internet & kill anonymity online. Contact committee members that are considering these bills + make your opposition crystal clear using our call tool at badinternetbills.com

this joke plagues transphobes because it’s an incredibly cutting take on what the modern transphobic panic is, a hysterical panic based off of a lie that transness is fake and that there is an intentional effort from the right to prop up this wedge to destroy all LGBTQ rights

We've been saying AI is a tool of facism but I really didn't expect them to make it so clear and obvious to EVERYONE

🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈I dream of the day when the world can become a place where transgender people can live proudly and freely as themselves, and where they can love freely As a mascot, I see human love as beautiful and wonderful. I love you all today as well♡

🎯🎯🎯

Me be like

There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

Me every time something AI gets added to something I enjoy

Hey! Transgirl musician struggling to make things meet between a broken PC and trying to move out of a red state! I could really use any help that comes. ko-fi.com/bitblush

If any of the folks here could help them out. Life has kinda been throwing them curveball after curveball and they really need some support.

Please for the love of god call your reps and tell them to vote no to KOSA and other bad internet bills otherwise we lose everything we have You need to do it now, today is the day
