I'm reluctant to speak up on trans topics these days because it's often not worth the pain caused, so I'm probably going to regret this, but disappointingly a lot of people need to hear this. Accusing trans women of "male socialization" is an astonishingly cruel, callous, and spiteful thing to say.

Incredible, the Gnosia anime team says they had characters turn to the camera repeatedly and go 'Setsu is non-binary' or 'they are not a man or a woman' because they feel anime-only viewers won't understand their gender, so it has to be driven home over and over.

gwen does fantastic work as usual on some of the 401,000 trans people who’ve had to flee hostile territory in their own country in the past 18 months.

male socialisation is when they hold you down and [cut footage of trans girl’s entire childhood and teen years] and after a while you stop even crying because what would be the point

VERY excited to share this big project. Many games are made in Canada, but few are *set* here.
 So, I spoke to 20+ devs who have been making all kinds of games that take place in Canada.
 From showcasing stunning landscapes to telling diverse stories, these games paint a vivid portrait of Canada. 🍁

male socialization is when your parents give you all the love in the world but you still grow up with cpstd from neglect because the person they loved wasnt really you, just a shell you were puppeteering to make everyone happy except yourself

Just a reminder that the banks are unfortunately more often than not part of the payment processing puritans as well A bunch of conservative old rich people (men, more often than not) extralegally deciding who gets to make money in today's digital world and who doesn't

Scientists discover the sky is blue in new study

my honest to god advice is that if your dissatisfaction with the game has reached the point where you cannot reply to a qotd without being a massive cunt, you should probably reevaluate as to whether or not that 15 dollars a month is worth it

When you greed one too many GCDs

Oh, this is fantastic!

The Ghost in the Shell - The Characters

[nodding] lesbian robot Spike Spiegel

I just saw someone complaining that there's too much sci-fi fantasy "nonsense" lesbian fiction so she's forced to read contemporary and I'm just Where Where is the nonsense. I want those books. There's like six and I'm mutuals with every one of the authors lol

For those curious about the next 3 decades of notable downtimes of this fish.

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

Repost this if you’ve gone to the doctor or you’ve seen a dog. I’m a teacher trying to show my students that it’s possible to repost stuff under certain circumstances like if a post asks you to and you’ve gone to something or seen something

Since my cats are always meowing for their supper, it's only fair that they listen to my whole awful singing voice as I sing to them about feeding the cats only the freshest tastiest food, with terrible lyrics such as "the cat in the hat with a bat had a tat, ate a rat"....

I am very honored to have been part of the #FFXIV Fan Festival 2026 Anaheim Art Contest!✨ Thank you to everyone who voted for my piece "Our Star"❤️ I am still in shock and disbelief to see it win the Amazing category.

Why is is l it every white British person I've met keeps saying vaguely racist or bigoted things. Like tonight, woman kept describing cities she'd lived in as stinky. And I was like well I guess Vancouver is on the coast and may have various sea smells. No turns out she meant stinky homeless people😬

you don't need a study to know this is bad for kids. that's why school admins have zero excuses for signing these deals

Kids should be learning that AI output isn’t trustworthy, where it really comes from, and how it’s disrupting our ability to tell what’s real. They shouldn’t be learning that AI will make them more efficient or do their work for them because it can’t. That would be propaganda, not education

One of the more concise summaries of what this shit ACTUALLY is.

Question one: would you make out with your evil clone.

People be talking about EVs today and that's like my whole thing so here's what I've identified as The Problem: The idea of being inconvenienced AT ALL overrides the average person's ability to consider whether a small inconvenience in one context might be outweighed by upsides in other contexts.

One of my favorite Oscar Wilde anecdotes is that he once did a reading and Q&A in a mine. With miners. Like down a mineshaft. He had this crazy idea that everybody of every occupation deserved and could benefit from art and information

We are rapidly losing the outlets where new writers can learn to shape a voice, where they can cultivate skills beyond quick news hits and PR with the guidance and mentorship of strong editors and the benefit of a trusted name, and it’s such a loss for writers and readers alike.

Guess what game has a GenAI Disclosure for translations in its newest DLC? Hello Kitty Island Adventure - City Town! I'm so tired. Game Studios, using GenAI for translations is exactly the same as using it for anything else in the game. Translating is an art. Pay your translators.

Oh whoops what do you mean I never posted this here (ffxiv got me thinkin about Them again)
