Wenn Merz sich so für ein AfD-Verbot engagieren würde wie für ein Verbot von Veggie-Wurst 🤦‍♀️ #AfDVerbotJetzt #MerzWurst #MerzMussWeg #VeggieWurst #Vegan #Vegetarisch

Die #Chatkontrolle ist ein massiver Eingriff in die Grundrechte. Wenn sie kommt, wird es keine verschlüsselte und sichere Kommunikation in Europa mehr geben. Das gilt es bei der Abstimmung im EU-Rat nächste Woche zu verhindern. Denn es geht um unsere Freiheit.

… whenever I finish one of @reallymckay.bsky.social ‘s books. seriously. every. single. time.

JETZT müssen wir uns alle an die Politik wenden und Druck machen, um diese Pläne noch zu verhindern! ✊ Adressen und weitere Infos findet ihr hier #Chatkontrolle #ChatControl digitalegesellschaft.de/2025/10/der-...

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

"Die Bundesregierung hat trotz eines teilweisen Exportstopps erneut die Ausfuhr von Rüstungsgütern an Israel genehmigt." "Um welche Art von Rüstungsgütern es sich genau handelt, bleibt offen." Eine weitere aktive Beteiligung der #KoalitionDerSchande 😡 www.tagesschau.de/ausland/asie...

my dentist just told me how stressed and tired I look. thanks I guess? 🙈

RIP Jane Goodall 😔😔😔 this hits hard. I can’t believe yet another beautiful soul has left this planet. she gave me hope

Urgent🚨 The Gaza Sumud Flotilla is being intercepted by the Israeli Navy, per someone with firsthand knowledge. Here’s a livestream. Even if you can’t watch, please open it and let it play. The more eyes on the Flotilla, the less violent Israel can be. 🇵🇸 www.youtube.com/live/uEN2bWF...

@aljazeera.com also has a live news feed covering the Global Sumud Flotilla, for those who can't watch the livestreams.

Es gibt keinen sinnvollen Grund dafür, dass der Sonderbericht zur Maskenbeschaffung vom Gesundheitsministerium zurück gehalten wird. Außer man will nicht, dass die Bürger sehen, wie Jens Spahn mit krummen Geschäften Steuermilliarden verprasste. #SpahnUntersuchungsausschuss

It’s easy to be a jerk to yourself. It’s easy to be a bad teammate to yourself. It’s easy to be a crap coach to yourself. Just remember that sometimes doing the easy thing makes everything else you do harder. This is about running. This is not about running.

I should NOT have started the day reading about a bunch of artists I used to admire and their controversial and extremely disappointing use of and perspective on ai art. I just… ugh. #trustnoone

We’re not finished when we stop. We’re finished when we stop starting. This is about running. This is not about running.

Wer heute eine rechte oder rechtsextreme Partei gewählt hat, der hat bewusst gegen sehr sehr viele marginalisierte Menschen in diesem Land gewählt. Ihr wollt, dass es anderen schlecht geht und das ist einfach widerwärtig.

When I struggle: ”why am I so bad at this?” When I succeed: ”doesn’t count, too easy.”

When I say that I am morally opposed to using #AI image generators, it's not only if you "pass it off" as your own work, it's simply the act of engaging with the technology. AI was trained on stolen-intellectual labor & uses a *huge* amount of energy while humans are struggling to meet basic needs.

Wer jetzt immer noch CDU wählen will, der ist nicht besser als die AfD-Wählerschaft. Sagt’s auch euren Großeltern, die oft die CDU-Stammwählerschaft sind und gar nicht mehr verfolgen, was eigentlich alles abgeht.

Kindness is hardcore. Only cowards are cruel. And only cowards support bullies.

Most people: "oh no, something disrupted my routine. Guess I'll have to do things differently today haha." Me: "oh no, something disrupted my routine. Guess I'll have to do nothing and feel guilt and shame about doing nothing all day today haha."

Enough things have happened. No more things, please.

I’ll be honest I just don’t think I can commit to 2025 right now. I need a gap year or something. Just some time to find myself and figure out if another calendar year is really what I want to do with my life.

I’m almost done binging the west wing for maybe the third time, and it’s weird (or maybe not) how parts that I didn’t even remember are making me incredibly emotional this time around

Idk feels pretty irresponsible to start another year like RIGHT after this one. Borderline reckless.

I really recommend checking out the work of Peter Levine (the father of “Somatic Experiencing”) when it comes to stress management. His hypothesis is that unlike in the natural world, under capitalism the stress never goes “away,” so the nervous system cannot regulate/return to homeostasis.

Love is a beautiful noun. But love is best when it’s a verb.

This is about running. This is not about running.

Where the campaign is starting to get shape… And a campaign manager is hired… And maybe we shall see her around in other books… Also, people who were nasty to Magdalene are starting to crawl from under the woodwork and eat their words… Still free on my Patreon 😍 #sapphic #sapphicbooks #patreon

In case any of my fellow creatives also needed this reminder:

IRL I’m an audio producer—I do a lot of podcasts and spoken word stuff full-time. But I’m looking to pick up some audiobook clients particularly in the #lesfic and #sapphicbooks space. If you’re an author in my queer community looking to produce an audiobook, let’s chat.

100 % accurate 🙈 also what if I actually hang it up and then change my mind about where I want it a day later?

I heard the sky is still blue

a dear friend of mine just happily told me how ai helped her “create” hundreds of images for her business and I don’t know how to tell her how horribly wrong that is 😱😳

I love how this picture tells a complete story.

So many books to read, so little time.

@grey85.bsky.social saw this yesterday and it made me think of you 😅💗✨

oooh I wanna see liz gilbert live in amsterdam next year 🤩

Let’s stop call it "Artificial Intelligence" and call it what it is: "Plagiarism Software." Thank you, Noam Chomsky. #Art #Artist #NoamChomsky

pre ordered 💗 can’t wait for it to arrive!

nine more days of madness, and then I might actually be able to draw/create again
