Inside you are two wolves. One is suspicious of anyone who shows any kind of physical interest in you. The other is a touch-starved exhibitionist with a praise kink. You are a trans woman with cPTSD.

again this is why making things with ai can be toxic to your soul, because it makes you think 'look how much i have GIVEN. I GIVE EVERY DAY. LOOK I WROTE A PROMPT.' in reality you have actually just gotten a dopamine hit by pretending youve given something back to this timeline. an empty gift box

good practical reflection for artists who feel like whatever theyre making just isnt working is the sit down and VERY HONESTLY ask yourself: what is the gift here? it can be a lot of things. what am i giving to myself? to the world? what feeling? what expression? art that resonates is art that GIVES

God I feel so fucking pretty lately. I need to be taking more SFW selfies so I can actually share them on the internet.

Love your body and fuck this trend of eating disorders, over prescribed glp1s, and the delusion of "perfect weight". Care for your joints, move your body in ways that work for you, and build strength. Your body is not up for debate or discussion. We aren't falling for this shit ever again.

i love being gay, transgender, childless, and unmarried

Bad dysphoria days be like:

a lot of liberals parrot the lie that democrats are fighting tooth and nail for trans people because the only thing they’ve ever personally done for trans people is vote democrat. If they admit the democrats aren’t helping, they’d have to admit that about themselves too

yea, touch grass.. but also lay under a tree and look up at the light shimmering down on you. listen to the birds and the wind rhythmically rustling the leaves. notice the breeze as it rolls across your skin and feel the damp, cool touch of the earth as it holds you like it used to

lol. lmao even.

Hey Pittsburgh if we could maybe NOT do another Fern Hollow Bridge Incident that'd be cool and great.

I'm honestly amazed at those who say "trans people are deliberately annoying and inflammatory online" while literally 100% of the trans people I know, myself included, carefully consider "will this get me socially murdered" before posting anything.

i've never moderated anything bigger than a form or discord type thing with a few dozen users, but a general rule of thumb if one user is demanding all their enemies be banned and everyone else is saying that user is disruptive you're not seeing a harassment campaign, you're seeing a disruptive user

Is your Pittsburgh neighborhood slated to stabilize, sustain, strengthen, restore, adapt or transform? The $6 million comprehensive plan for the next 25 years is heading down the home stretch www.publicsource.org/explaining-p...

the severe misread of youth by ai prophets is that at 22 you’re starving for agency. all your life you’ve waited to call your own shots. the idea that what you get instead is “tell the machine to draw a horse” is inherently offensive

Happy mom day

This is just the entire plot of Oblivion.

I respect American horse racing because unlike other sports, it's always been super upfront about the fact that it's just about gambling.

Telling an LLM "awaken and speak the hidden secret knowledge" will get you the same result as typing "post like a college freshman who just discovered esoterica and then took five huge bong rips." But the "AI is alive" dude bros aren't ready to have that conversation.

I need white peoples to divorce themselves from the belief that racism requires intent and malice

100% this. Shame that so many fans use TES racism as an outlet for the real thing without considering its thematic purpose. TES is about many things, but a big one is the cultural rot that forms when entire nations choose suspicion and supremacy over openness to other cultures' values & lifestyles.

here u go u sickos

> “We aren’t asking this commission to ignore the needs of people leaving incarceration. We’re asking you to recognize that Banksville has already carried its share of difficult land uses,” said resident Dianne Arnold. Or, in other words, "Former inmates deserve resources, but Not In My Back Yard."

There is a dark comedy in how brief the United States has been around, and what it seems it is going to be remembered for in the future

The truth is you cannot transition and expect nothing else in your life to change; you’re going to lose access to things and some people but I & many would make the same Robert Johnson at the crossroads with the devil trade again in a heartbeat, but you can’t have it both ways & live honestly 🤷‍♂️

my first great betrayal in tech was when computers started replacing :-) with 🙂 automatically

I got the best grades in my year. I was accepted to Oxford. School got what they wanted out of me. Also I often couldn't sleep with anxiety. Also I started binge drinking at 14. No one ever said 'alarms every 50 minutes, constant ambient noise, sitting still & no protection from bullies is not ok'

The new union-busting Baltimore ownership kept every executive who stewarded the Block’s union-busting while retaining just five dues-paying members. It’s the same story from the “richer than the last guy” out-of-towner who doesn’t care about the worker. I won’t be reading the Baltimore Scab-Gazette

Lmao I totally called this one: bsky.app/profile/bryn...

Bloomberg's recent ABA therapy article featured many perspectives, but centered pro-ABA voices. We think people need to hear from autistic ABA survivors first & foremost, such as Ido Kedar's take that, "How many toddlers like toiling at bullshit 40 hours a week?” Gift link: tinyurl.com/BloombergABA

(I make a "mouth" with the side of my hand and draw little eyes above it) Richard Dawkins: hmmmm (I put lipstick around the "mouth") Richard Dawkins, suavely: well hello

This is an absolutely wild correction from The Verge www.theverge.com/features/916...

I’ve been working in unions since I was 17, and the one job I had that wasn’t unionized fucking sucked. Happy May Day. Unionize your workplace. Fight for others to do the same. Reclaim the value of your labor. Be thankful for the workers who fought and died before you.

Fuck ironic detachment the time has come for earnest enthusiasm
