TOM FORD CRY TO HEAVEN MOVIE?!?!!?!?!???!???

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort: www.404media.co/ai-is-superc...

I talked to librarians, authors who have had their books banned, and groups that support them for this article. The glee with which schools, libraries, governments, and companies are replacing human workers and nuance with AI would not be possible w/o the successful war on schools and libraries

156 - The American Worker feat. Kevin Van Meter We’re talking with @americanwork47.bsky.social again about workers inquiry as an organizing tool and the example of the pamphlet The American Worker from 1947. www.librarypunk.gay/e/156-the-am...

I think eventually they’re gonna do what Texas is now doing and say individual justices can refuse to grant marriage licenses, instead of outright banning anything. The individual liberty/religious freedom playbook.

This is the spiritual opposite of that time the Taylor Swift twitter stan account revealed they went to prison for refusing to join the IDF

It can’t rain all the time 🐦‍⬛

I think I’m gonna dress up as the Crow for the gay Halloween dance party drag event I’m going to, but I think I’m gonna do a less crazy makeup version of the outfit for work Friday

I dislike onions so I was just ecstatic to find a microwave dal makhani without onions in it

Sometimes I think about Guts and Griffith and have to like…take a moment for all my Feelings.

Hey party people, someone broke in while I was sleeping and stole my laptop. My books are all backed up, thank God, but my renter's insurance has a high deductible and if you like my work I'd appreciate some support right now patreon.com/scumbelievab...

Spent all day at the emergency vet with Arthur. He’s home and fine now. But man, what a day.

My kingdom for the mix of Can’t Get You Out of My Head I heard at Fascination that was all dark and throbby

Thinking fondly of the queens who get interviewed in the line to see Maria Callas return to the Met, in the documentary Maria by Callas.

Pre-ordered the long awaited (like, over a decade) Protomen Act III

Do not pay $100,000 to become a podcaster for the love of god

Arrived in NYC. Seeing the Prince Faggot ads out in the wild is very fun.

Okay seems like I won’t be able to gloat buuuuuuuuuuut who all am I gonna see at this NYC public library assembly thing? Who maybe wants to get dinner 👀👀👀👀

My boyfriend is so smart and also very hot, which is a stellar combo. Good job me. Really nailed it. Highly recommend.

This is a huge problem on tumblr right now: Trans men and other transmasculine people are harassing trans women and calling them “transandrophobic”. This is uh Stupid. I think it’s also largely folks who are younger and/or earlier in their transitions, people who don’t have community yet.

I’m going to NYC for a whirlwind day trip on Saturday — union business — and I have my fingers crossed I can wear my Red Sox hat and gloat the entire time

155 - AI Refusal feat. Kay This week we have @kslater.bsky.social back on to talk about AI and what the refusal of AI means in terms of library practice and theory.

Lol we made a discovery layer that lies to you, it's a learning experience "the team has worked hard to minimize such results, but they can and will surface. Importantly, these moments are opportunities to learn more about both the technology and user expectations."

It’s so fun that I live in the city where the cop slide happened and I get to see it and chuckle to myself all the time

Instead of “checking in with your trans friends” have you considered doing literally anything to actively resist what is happening? Speaking up? Organizing? Attending protests? Contributing to mutual aid efforts? Even just calling your representatives? I don’t need another “u ok babes?” text.

It’s probably not a great sign of the times that my Instagram algorithm is trying to push a bunch of detransitioner content at me. It always starts as content that otherwise seems like it’s just about trans people so that I actually stop to watch it or whatever, thus fucking with my feed further.

CW: weight loss I learned T’s fat redistribution doesn’t happen with existing fat, just new fat. So my only option to get rid of my curves (main source of dysphoria) was to lose fat. I started strength training this year again, and in addition to gaining muscle, I’ve lost 20 pounds!

I think younger folks on tumblr are just now discovering The Wall because they’re learning that The Black Parade is just The Wall but for goth queers

Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

Of such a letter, Death himself might well have been the post-boy.

I've finished and collected all my writing on The Magic Mountain, so if you'd like to read 10,000 words on realism, Lukacs, Bloch, Jameson and one of the most remarkable novels of the twentieth century, here you go: www.patreon.com/posts/138874...

what a way to find out magic is real though huh

i am sorry etsy witches i was unfamiliar with your game

It’s honestly insane that this entire book is lines that are as fire as this

I own thy speechless, placeless power

I’m sort of amazed at how different I look in these two photos of me at MCR concerts three years apart. I’ve been on T since 2018, but I’ve also been on finasteride for a lot of that until this spring. I think stopping it is the best decision I’ve ever made.

Still not over Spooky Chemical Romance

When the night I get to see MCR is a spooky full moon and we get double fucking vampires

I saw all you cops at the MCR concert not chanting free palestine during IDLES

My Chemical Romance with @smazzie.bsky.social

Heard MCR doing sound check while we were getting lunch and early merch IT’S HAPPENING

MCR TONIGHT

Turns out it wasn’t me being a dumbass that caused all the problems with my tongue piercing. It was pierced badly. They had to remove it today, and a different piercer will pierce it in a month or more.

My Chemical Romance in one weeeeeeeeeeek

Imagine buying a Labubu when you can buy a Barbie
