Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

The amount of people decrying ChatGPT while using AI image generators and vice versa pisses me off so bad I can't see straight. Don't use any of them! They're all based on exploitation of creators and the continued destruction of the environment! ALL of it is bad!

✨I really want to get back to doing pose ref-- to aid in being able to dedicate time to that I'm selling a mega pack of the entire Fat Photo Ref Archive for pay what you want (suggestion of $25)! ✨ There's over 1,000 images and I sorted them all for you!! 📷Check it out here: ko-fi.com/s/4b2db8de71

the shameless, chortling glee with which the "passionate about health" crowd reacts when a fat person dies young has taught me lessons about human nature that I will never forget

Worth remembering that libro.fm exists -- human narrators, independent experience, supports indie bookstores.

Hospital acquired COVID has a 10% fatality rate & is almost completely avoidable with clean air & masking Why aren’t we doing it? Why aren’t people enraged when someone goes in for care & dies of COVID? It’s because they think those vulnerable people were going to die soon anyways. It’s eugenics

it is So Cool And Good that once you become a certain level of known that you lose all personhood and instead become a constellation of ideas and loose signifiers for people to interpret as they see fit, divining whatever meaning is most useful for them at the time

You all desperately need to consider the possibility that it’s ok and good actually for disabled people to exist and our existence doesn’t make our lives less real or worthy or human. We’re not a drain on society. We’re not a burden. We’re literally just people.

I support trans rights; I recognise and respect trans people and their right to exist the same as others; I resent and object to the tired lies that bigots promote. Trans rights are human rights.

Reinfections aren’t harmless. Every time you catch COVID, you increase the risk of long COVID, organ damage, and chronic illness—even if you “felt fine” during the infection.

How are you going to leverage this hostile government takeover? Remember, there are 24 usable hours in every day and you cannot dissociate during all of them.

Whatever topic you’re thinking of, I have the correct opinion. There, I saved both of us a lot of time.

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

All classes listed here. Please share around, let's fill 'em up! xoxo www.eventbrite.com/o...

Nostalgia for something that never existed is a deep underpinning of both conservatism as a whole and fascism. It’s also honestly funny to watch these children screech about democratizing art or whatever when what they’re doing is more akin to gentrification.

When you hear billionaires and bosses sing the praises of AI making human workers unnecessary, I urge you to remember: the streets and alleys and graveyards are all full to bursting with the human workers the bosses "made unnecessary."

openai’s new ghibli “generator” is explicitly an intentional attempt at humiliation of a prominent objector openai is culturally fascist as well as functionally fascist it’s not an accident

This is a good read on why AI generated art is so beloved by fascists newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

College was where I became an exvangelical, but I was only able to go due to privilege, so this is such a good point.

go touch grass: - overused - often requires bowing, difficult for people with bad back - feels like taking a stroll around the busy neighborhood go touch fern: - edgy, exciting - more elevation options for people with limited mobility - feels like taking a stroll among big bugs in the Carboniferous

Support the things you love. Enjoying them silently isn't enough anymore. Support the things you love or they will disappear, and your heart will suffer. Support the things you love.

I just lost a potential com as it seems it was a scam, and the money was going to seriously help me out so I really need a few art coms to make up for that. info is here, home.117.zone#commission, but if you wanna com fat characters I can give you 15% off. #artcommissions #art #fatart

Research I've done for other things, books that I've read which sounded randomly interesting, fanfic I wrote, has all been ten years of turning me into the person who could write this. An llm, external to myself, could not have done this.

These tech ghouls deserve the worst. They shroud their larceny and inhumanity in “greater good” rhetoric when it’s transparently evil.

“No problem!” I lied politely

A woman (60s?) in a lacy black dress and black and white striped witches' tights is strutting out of a hardware store, pushing a trolley full of plants, fertilizer and a new shovel. Eldritch gardening business is definitely nigh! (4)

We really don't talk enough about how the spammers of the early aughts turned into the affiliate advertising guys of the late aughts turned into the crypto/Blockchain bros of the 2010s turned into the genAI guys of today It's always been vaguely organized nerd crime, all the way down

Days since a trash can mishap: 0 This was a long time coming and it was a REALLY GOOD mishap bahahahaha full statement to follow

BRILLIANT Last one out the door at the dept of education should erase the entire student loan database. Be a legend

A normal person thinks of getting money as accumulating money, increasing wealth. A billionaire thinks of it as collateral to use to go deeper into a mathematically staggering debt, reaching that magical point where you get richer the more money you owe.

This is because we exist in a racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, etc, culture. Everything we absorb, *whether we want to or not*, has those messages in it. Unless you go looking for the root of those attitudes in yourself, you *will not notice* that you hold them.

You like to do something a little cheeky? Little bit fun?? Go into an artists media tab and go back say 3 months or more in there art posting and hit share and see if it gets some new eyes on it. It’s grate fun and you can do it for free.

Two things: 1. My friend Sydneysky has often talked about the link between fatphobia and its reinforcement of misogyny and gender essentialism. 2. Men suffer from disordered eating in very large numbers, but rather than studying that, it just becomes fuel for more of their displaced violence.

Women are not rehabilitation centres for broken men.

Arbitrary measures dressed up in fancy moving goalposts science talk. My trans sisters are my sisters. Terfs are genitals obsessed creepy dick police.

So much profound beauty in our world. But it seems the forces unable to see beyond their own wealth, power, and egos are in the ascendant right now. It's our duty to mind ourselves and each other in these tough times, which may well get much worse. The living world depends on us never giving up. 🌍

The only defense against Fascism that doesn't leave us bleeding out is accepting this simple truth: There are no disposable people.
