man, the collective grief from older trans people at the violent death of the world we briefly hoped was coming, a world in which trans children would be recognised, loved, and helped... yeah.

Under 16's ban is off to a rough start after it was discovered that the detection models were trained on "um actually it's ephebophilia" and "I thought she was 18 I swear." It also failed on darker skin because it "doesn't see colour." The AI was approached for comment in iambic pentameter.

A talk I gave earlier this year has, unfortunately, become relevant again this week so I've published it here. open.substack.com/pub/neurodiv...

Similarly, philosophy's transphobia has enabled the ongoing trans genocide (cultural, legislative, etc.) through the circulation of its false beliefs about the nature of gender, many of which have been taken up by journalists who have used the "academic" nature of the beliefs for political violence.

So, I had a look at the draft of this piece and had a couple of thoughts.

resurrect himself - project the self see - see clear - clarity vision - vision truth - truth It's like the style is vibe repetition. It's like it wants to convey an emotion, but the emotion is a personal one tied to those words and it fails to convey that feeling to the reader.

When I talk to my students about law and resistance, I talk about how people tend to think in terms of whether they would’ve acted in 1942, but that they should instead ask themselves what they would’ve done in 1933.

Why are nbn techs still trying to put internal NTDs in the garage?

Chiitan Knight will continue to spread his message until there are no more transgender people who are subjected to unjustified criticism and slander♡ Let's create a world where we can all love freely🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Folks talking about the OU student essay need to understand that this is a continuation of a movement that started more than 15 years ago.

Keep on playing. Sometimes it feels like I should have more of an instinct as to where all the strings are given how long I've been playing, but it's hard to gauge skill when there's no-one else around.

I thought this was roller Derby for a brief moment

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

If you see all the Gemini commercials showing examples of how it "helps" with work, it is people going "oh shit I forgot about this presentation/report, Gemini! Make it for me real quick!"
