"should I engage with art by and about marginalised people" ideally yes pushing back against epistemicide is. kind of a big transfeminist thing

I believe they do know their shit and do find it useful and it does help them. And also that genAI causes deskilling in people, encourages suicides, and requires expansions of data centers that risk people’s access to power and water and causes human life loss. The benefit is not worth it.

AI can be useful and do helpful things. If it comes with the price tags of genAI, including the deskilling, suicidal encouragement, environmental damage and deaths, it is not worth it. Like lead paint or asbestos or ddt or…

No it didn't. No it fucking didn't. Lmao. At no point did SCOTUS genuinely think ICE would police itself or do anything than be a nuGestapo. We gotta stop acting like these people don't know what they're doing. They know what they're doing.

I’m not saying you, but that the salary tag comes for us all. When the threat of losing hundreds of thousands a year comes, a lot of people who work on interconnected complex systems for a living, can’t seem to make the connections between their work and the societal costs.

This is a public health crisis and cis people acting like it isn’t because it targets trans children primarily (even though it will affect cis children too!!) is nasty business

it's not that I am simply so contrary that I reject opinions when they get too popular! it's that opinions that are fresh at first tend to calcify into the ugliest versions of themselves through repeated use. that's my take

absolute best case scenario when you make fun of someone wearing a mask is you’re joking about a family member with a chronic respiratory illness. anti-mask shit won. you won! what more do you want

“Enterprise Agile Transformation” got me

The shift from "sir this is a Wendy's" to "just put the fries in the bag" indicates a cultural rightward shift; whereas the former is making fun of someone by implying they're a customer doing too much, the latter is making fun of someone by implying they're a *worker* & should know their place

I think gambling should be illegal for children

And most of the suggestions are “let’s keep this but add more surveillance and interventions” and adding more of the things we already have that are not working well enough as it is doesn’t seem like a good answer.

we know: the economic costs of a person dying from suicide are tremendous we know: these companies have zero regard for user safety. they simply do not care and are drowning out these stories with unlimited marketing what are we even doing here.

Over and over and over I’ll make this point. I don’t understand what we’re doing here. If you’re positive on LLMs, please explain how their benefit to you is worth even one persons whole life.

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

Blanket censoring the word “gambling” is literally a pro gambling move. Gambling platforms avoid the word for obvious reasons, so YouTube eliminating its use under the pretense of combating gambling is the best fucking cover a gambling platform could ask for. It’s pretty disgusting.

It is extraordinary how much backsliding everything with anything to do with accessibility has done in the last year or two. Literally everything that used to just remember to put closed captions on now I have to manually turn them on every time and sometimes they simply don’t work at all

dreaming of a day after these horrors end. it is coming. we will win.

Finally! Court admits that a chronic disease that disproportionately impacts women isn’t just “all in her head”.

I struggle to get this message through to people everyday. I don’t want to be a constant downer but everyone leaning into another “surely this will be The Thing that will save us” or “the next election…” comrades, this wasn’t created in a single election cycle it won’t be fixed in one.

26 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- HHS targets Seattle Children’s Hospital w/ investigation for providing GAC saying GAC fails to meet "professional standards of health care" altho all relevant med organizations recommend it. 19 Dem states sued HHS over its stance this week.

RFK Jr is directly responsible for the deaths of 83 children in American Samoa from measles because he told them to stop vaccinating. Now, he's trying to kill trans kids. He's a fucking psychopath.

regular US policing.

There are people that think “politics” is just about getting elected and there are people that understand it’s in fact more than that

i actually DON'T want to get evicted on January 1st! please send tips , share my free work ... thank you love you

It's truly remarkable how there will be news organizations and journalists who correctly identify that RFK is a menace and that HHS can't e trusted when he pushes stuff about vaccines or Tylenol causing autism... but cover the anti-trans stuff like "Well, HHS says so, and we should trust HHS!"

Truly I think about this quote nearly every day

Ya'll the footnotes. I have never seen anything like this.

On a final note, I kind of find it somewhat irritating that puppygirling is considered to be a kind of default for transfeminine sexual expression these days, kinky or otherwise. Some of us are still catgirls 🤷‍♀️

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

Tiny Tim, who DID NOT die, fled through the desert while the gunslinger followed.

If you are saying universal healthcare *cant* realistically happen with our current political system and economy you should be advocating for revolution to overthrow that system instead of being ok with no universal healthcare

still my favorite christmas post

Life hack: If you like to wrap things, you can buy wrapping paper and wrap any object at any time. Wrap your groceries. Wrap the toilet. Wrap the dog. You don't have to wait for a "holiday" and turn it into a whole weird thing.

this underscores how the social has been obliterated even for the wealthy. the man is a famous and well connected billionaire and even he can't come up with anything better to do with his time than to speak into the ether about his interests and hope the ether likes it

a whole new world to explore

"Okay but what if we had The One Ironclad Pronoun Protocal That Never Pissed Anyone Off" THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE. WEIGH YOUR RISKS AND LEARN TO SOCIALIZE.

And just imagine all the extrajudicial shit cops get away with on cases that don't have national attention

I don't think free speech on campus ought to mean that a young coddled bigot gets to use their ignorance to casually destroy the career of a knowledgeable trans person on a random Wednesday

Trans instructor: “you didn’t do this assignment” Supervising professor: “she didn’t do the assignment” Student: “I didn’t do the assignment” University: “isn’t there someone you forgot to ask” some days I just want to scream and scream

literally fuck anyone who doesn’t see at this point that it’s an organized nationwide effort to make trans people unemployable. every trans person they push out of public life is a win for them & a whole hell of a lot of cis people need to start stepping up and saying fuck off to freaks like this.

This is what it is to be a trans professional. Any pretext will be used to eliminate us. Our institutions abandon us, refuse to fight for us - even when all we're guilty of is doing our jobs correctly. How are we meant to live in society? How are we supposed to win?

this was part of a plan the organized far right made to begin their attack on taking out trans people out of academia, what a disgrace of a university to give in to this

this is why I hate ai. “oh but it can be hard for—“ and it will cause great harm. we stopped using asbestos cause even though it was useful it killed people. why is this even a debate?

call us old fashioned but, if you've built a machine that makes child porn, we really don't care if can do anything else. unplug the machine.

Where the fuck was James Cameron during Standing Rock? Or Covid? Oh right, nowhere. People don’t wanna engage with contemporary native people, because that means acknowledging we’re still here, we’re still fighting for our land and treaties, and making art and music and living our goddamn lives.
