Hey today's International Women's Day. As someone who depends on VAW therapy to work through my trauma from gendered violence, I hope that more folks offer non-judgmental space and grace to women who are processing through harm, from those suffering in silence to those working with support systems.

As much as I am currently on my Professional Yaoi Project, I definitely want to release more Yuri, so I love me more GL, Yuri, Baihe going mainstream. I just need to get my yaoi-to-dating-women pipeline out first, lol.

Hahaha needed this brevity

A government which does not want trans people to exist, and is legally allowed to force detransition in prisons, has created incentive for itself to put more trans people in prisons.

Trump's extrajudicial assassination of Soleimani without US Congress is one of those mindboggling international relations moments that made me not believe at first that he could run for re-election. But it's obvious. Time & time again, US institutions are putrid with racism.

165 death toll according to the Guardian. The US leadership who ordered this are utterly, irreconcilably inhumane.

Thinking about 1000xRESIST today again. 💜

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

when i say the NYTimes deserves neither your money nor your respect, i also mean NYTimes cooking, NYTimes puzzles, crosswords, connections, and wordle, the wirecutter, the athletic, and all their podcasts. the nytimes continues to platform a person who made trans people's lives worse

So dystopic that it practically circles around to unbelievably dark satire. (The satire is The Purge MC.)

Alex Pretti’s coworkers take a moment of silence this morning

There is a PlowTO Map. 🤭 I'm a child lol.

oh no I have been blushing through lesbian youtube all snowy weekend long but it is weekday and I need to concentrate, please help.

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since. That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

Canada's federal gov has a new program to bring researchers to Canada & my uni is starting an internal nomination process for chairs. If you are a full or associate prof working on AI/democracy/community engagement/environmental justice and you may be interested in moving to Canada, dm me

I'm at this stage of my deskbound worklife rn:

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

The IGAs Nomination Committee is officially retracting Debut Game and Game of the Year, awarding both categories to new recipients. Additionally, we are retracting one of the Indie Vanguard recipients. Full details can be found in our FAQ under Game Eligibility: www.indiegameawards.gg/faq

it’s for exactly this reason that my library network’s catalog system does not retain patron borrowing data, or even permit the creation of linked “family” library accounts. the “free” in “free public library” means, among other things, “free from government interference.”

fucking yikes! internal movement controls are a sign of an increasing authoritarian state.

This is a gross seizure of one of our pillars of democracy.

LOL I suppose even a broken military clock is right once a day.

While millions of families struggle to put food on the table Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg own more wealth than the bottom HALF of Americans. That’s what oligarchy is about. That’s what a rigged economy is about. Is it any wonder that people in this country are angry?

Yo I blacked out just now and wrote something F/F and X-rated.

Pondering my glow-up for later this evening at the @interactiveontario.com mixer. ✨

another hidden/externalized cost and form of theft in AI is the bots for Meta etc are blowing up site hosting charges of pages they're looting for information to take credit for. profits go to meta and others, made possible by costs spread to all the operators of sites they're crawling to steal from

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
