My dissertation advisor, Alexandra Stern has a book called Telling Genes: The Story of Genetic Counseling in America, which traces the development of genetic counseling from the eugenics movement of the early twentieth century to the current era of human genomics.

Historian of eugenics here. I don't normally like to retweet bad arguments, but this is such a fundamental misunderstanding of eugenics, I think it's important to point out. I don't have time to debunk all of the ways this is inaccurate, but I'll highlight a few things and then recommend some books🧵

Anyone order a hellhound? 'cause I got one here. Real spicy. I wasn't too thrilled with my last two attempts at Loona but have learned much since then. Figured I'd give her another try. #furryart #furry

You’ll Be OK

While millions of families struggle to put food on the table Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg own more wealth than the bottom HALF of Americans. That’s what oligarchy is about. That’s what a rigged economy is about. Is it any wonder that people in this country are angry?

This is an old one. Foxes are made of coffee. As as you all know, coffee is made of sables. And that explains my affinity for mustelids. (What I don't remember is if I used coffee to paint the mid and light tones. I think I did, but I'm not sure)

This collision was the actual origin of the universe.

Said so... I wonder how long will it take to see affinity go from "free + optional data collect not for AI" to "monthly sub + invasive AI-training data collect". I hope it never happens... Affinity was my last resort to avoid Adobe products without giving up professionality...

Open Source softwares have only one big issue: GUI and workflow are usually quite bad compared to their non-free counterparts. I wonder if that's due to a too "developer-oriented" mindset or due to a lack of tools... but then I think about Blender and I hope even Gimp, Inkscape etc turn that way.

KEEP DRAWING!

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

2020 - a doodle I made of @foxpopvli.bsky.social's Patty (one of several I did that year), done 100% on paper + alcohol markers. People had a hard time believing that this WASN'T made digitally. Gave me a sense of pride, though I haven't found the patience to draw traditionally again ever since.

It has never been more urgent than this, US folks. Call your reps NOW and lay it all down. We cannot let them take this all away from us.

Kirkland >>>Trumpland

you gotta remember that from a conservative perspective, these programs are a failure. they don't want to reduce homelessness, they want to punish homeless people. they'd pay 10x as much for that happily

It's not even AI slop it's enshitification down everyone's throats. "I'm not paying voice actors, here's the AI robotic voice clueless dub. It costs more but it's money straight in my pocket, not in the pockets of poor people. You're gonna take it and like it!" -CEOs probably.

Kadokawa stated that it did not approve of an AI dub, and Sentai stated that it wasn't aware of the dub beforehand.

First Nations Chiefs from across the country are meeting in Ottawa. They've unanimously voted to oppose any change to a west coast oil tanker ban. Prime Minister Mark Carney just signed an MOU with Alberta on getting oil to the coast.

MILF and tentacles getting pulled alongside loli and shota reinforces what I and others have said since the summer: If you empower Mastercard to censor a little, you empower them to take everything away. The problem is the capacity for a credit card to censor Call them

#SaveSpeech if you're Canadian, you may have heard about a handful of bills that have free speech and anti-surveillance orgs worried, so ive made a cheat sheet of info about what makes each one worrying! We need to block these bills! please contact your reps! oncanadaproject.ca/findyourrep

Not to diminish the article's point, but: FD Signifier came to a similar conclusion about racism in his (re-uploaded) essay on Charlie Kirk and the Conservative Death Cult: "Bigotry isn't about hate, it's about indifference toward the excluded and signifiers for the included"

They’re describing it as a “shock and awe” campaign, which is why it’s essential to show them there’s huge opposition NOW. Call / email your reps to let them know you oppose censorship bills like KOSA and the SCREEN. Read up and get involved in the @fightforthefuture.org Week of Action.

that first infographic was small cuz i posted it from my phone so here's a bigger one

#SaveSpeech The House Committee Meeting was heavily in favor of these various censorship/surveillance bills We need now, more than ever, to counter the rhetoric that these bills are "popular" and demand our reps oppose them! www.congress.gov/members/find...
