I wrote a book, "The Naked Android," about why robots keep getting gendered, by design or “by accident," and how that shapes trust & ideas of what kind of labor or use we imagine they’re for. Form, like voice/language and context of use, sets expectations. www.routledge.com/The-Naked-An...

Currently watching "Companion" (40 min in) and it's... A take. But so far it somewhat differs from the tropes I've seen before, like this 🤏 much.

@davecat.bsky.social I now realize I may have pronounced "cheap" as "sheep".. But I was dumsnål not to buy fresh numbing cream and instead though that my several year old one would still do the job (it didn't, who would have thought)

Does anyone know of a tool that reads texts aloud to you? It'd be extremely helpful to me when reading academic papers.

The English translation of my thesis is available for download now! 🎉 You can find it here: liu.diva-portal.org/smash/record... (it's called "Thesis translated to English 2025").

It took me a billion years, but NOW I've sent my translated thesis for publication, and it's finally actually done for real!!

Some tips for those of you who wish to look for European digital service alternatives: european-alternatives.eu

Since I haven't been able to make anything recently due to health stuff, I thought I'd share some old work now that this website has more people on it!! This is Ethernet Cable Girlfriend, a short comic I made last year! Robot yuri 💕 (1/7)

I am this close 🤏 to finalizing the thesis. OF COURSE the formation of the whole thing started to act up out of nowhere and I can't figure out why or how to fix it. Genuinely close to tears from frustration.

As some of you know, I'm creating a list for fictional examples of robosexuality; but I'm putting together a list with real life examples, too. Please help me add to it! m.imdb.com/list/ls50792...

I maybe have a thing for Devin Townsend's music... Maybe...

Just finished reading Klara and the Sun. I'll give it a soft 4 out of 5. (If you're a person who enjoys eventful and "intense" books however, this will probably be a rather boring read.)

I've gotten a confirmation that I'm allowed to do as I please with my thesis, so I'll public it at my blog (that's not yet existing) at some point 🎉 I've also asked my university's library if it's possible to have it added to DIvA, alongside the Swedish version.

A very negative thing about translating the thesis three years later is that I can no longer access some of the material I used, as I'm no longer a registered student at my university; so I can't make certain that I use the same terms as the researches does in their original works.

One behaviour I had forgot comes alive during the writing of academic texts: "I'll juuust edit this one thing, and I'll juuust add this one other thing..."

I am about 99% finished with the translation of the complete thesis 🥳 (Once again, the hyperfocus got me, and the last time I ate anything was 9 hours ago, oops. I also need to go to bed asap. Oops again.)

EVERYTHING (BUT THE FOOTNOTES) IS TRANSLATED NOW

Well shit, ChatGPT refuses to translate one paragraph of my thesis as it deems it breaks their rules... That's what you get for writing about sex haha. (To be fair, I think ChatGPT believes that I want to write something sexual about a little girl, but I'm only quoting a person.)

Oops hyperfocus stuck and now I've been sitting on my ass translating this thesis for about 6-7 hours 💀 Off to bed I go, night night.

I've been TERRIFED to re-read my own thesis since it got publiced three years ago. It was during that writing process that I developed my exhaustion depression, so I've imagined it to be painfully obvious that my writing would deteriorate as one reads the thesis.. But so far it actually holds up!

I'm in the process of translating my thesis from Swedish to English. Are there some rules that differ that I should know about regarding academic texts written in English?

"Oh, what a pretty do- that's a human." - Me just now.

"Aim with (your) pussy."

Hi Bluesky! 👋 I'm putting together a list of movies, series, and anime in which technosexuality/robosexuality (or your preferred term) is the subject. Help me add to it, please! www.imdb.com/list/ls50064...

I tested if ChatGPT would do a good job translating my thesis from Swedish to English. It honestly did a great job, so all of you English speakers will get to read it soon! (Hopefully, I need to speak with my university first.)

Just had the thought that being in a relationship with a doll maaay be a bit connected to the therapy form IFS.

Watched "After Yang" yesterday. I really enjoyed it, and I'd say it's a new favorite of mine. A very sweet take on the emotional life of, as they were called, techno sapiens.

Here, have a Swedish sketch from 2000 about a old lady choosing between the nazis and the liberals: t.co/cwS0EZeIT1

Me trying to remember the word for thigh = "the big part of the leg" Wardrobe = "the place where you have clothes"

HOW is @lovewithrobots THIS WEEKEND?? Come join us in Montreal for an awesome conference, details at lovewithrobots.com

Updates: 1. I got a job back in February at 50%. 2. I've beat the severe depressive episode I was going through!

It JUST NOW struck me that there has to be some robosexual representation going on in Black Mirror???

To the people who know, does "Humans" (from 2015) have any romantic and/or sexual representation occuring between human and an artificial individual? I was looking through my IMDb list and realized that that series wasn't there. As I havn't watched it myself (yet) I don't want to throw it in there.
