Ooh, love this thread. This is an older one I haven't seen in a while, but used to be everywhere: "Yhe Biting Pear of Salamanca" by @tkingfisher.com 💖

As a gender fluid person, seeing John Fetterman aggressively pushing for adulting scares me.

"Do asexuals belong in the queer community?" Yes If you disagree, shut the fuck up I'm tired of your bullshit

If you are weird about asexual people this month you owe me $100

“we told you so” is unfortunately deeply unsatisfying in the face of what we told you

I found this neat tool that lets you generate text and images just from your ideas. It's really good!

"fiction normalizes—" idk abt any of that but I think social media has normalized absolutely batshit behavior and social conventions that are inconceivable to anyone that is actually well-balanced and thriving in the real world and that's a bigger problem than fiction will ever be

There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

This is an important to consider even for expensive goods. High quality goods aren't getting made *either* at this point. These are the same pressures that destroyed the production of Dhaka muslin. We didn't 'forget' how to make it. It was driven out of existence by cost saving profiteering.

Happy pride!

it is in absolutely everybody’s best interests to develop some hobbies aside from Phone

New from 404 Media: we've seen internal documents that show Microsoft is explicitly planning to "make people addicted" to its new AI assistant 'Scout' which the company just announced. It is a clear goal according to the documents, with addiction being the first phase www.404media.co/microsoft-wa...

Happy Pride Month

A 51-49 Dem Senate is one in which, for example, many Trump nominees never even make it out of committee, making it irrelevant which way Fetterman or Platner or whomever would vote on the floor.

we need to be sure to write these kind of people into sci-fi stories forever going forward imagine how incapable they'd be doing stuff on their own if the tech actually worked and it was actual artificial intelligence

He could not force himself to understand how banks functioned and so forth, because all the operations of capitalism were as meaningless to him as the rites of a primitive religion, as barbaric, as elaborate, and as unnecessary.

Another from the Puppy Brigade.

We gotta stop using blackgryphons fuck ass Alastor songs chat. Please

Congrats to the Pokémon GO loading screen trainer for her transition

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

Pride

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their AI training datasets - this bill would force them. If that sounds good, we REALLY NEED YOUR HELP! Please sign this petition in support of the bill, it'll take you 2 minutes: tinyurl.com/4uxbp963 1/

My best friend died suddenly at the beginning of the pandemic. (Aneurysm. It was quick.) Out of sheer luck, this is the last thing he said to me: “You’re an awesome person, not because of your parents, but in spite of them.” Tell your friends and family that you love them. Say it 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦.

"dickbutt" is the weirdest insult and it feels lowkey anti-autistic tbh

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

Happy pride here’s a really gay exchange my bf and I had yesterday but huskerdust lol [ #huskerdust | #hazbinhotel ]

Big Bird as a character is autistic-coded, so you might want to tone down the loathing.

I’m tired of living in a world where they try to enforce that sex is somehow worse than violence. I am sick and tired of it.

Oh also, accessibility at Pride also includes helping your Disabled and ND friends who can't drive actually get to Pride (and to other LGBTQ+ inclusive places( without, you know, making them feel like shit for not being able to do what amounts to operating a tool.

Didn’t expect to hit the hysterical laughter portion of the day quite so early…

I find it moving that Lynch's legacy in the queer community is now forever tied to the phrase "fix your hearts or die". It has become a rallying cry. It is bigger than him. It is bigger than Twin Peaks. It is beautiful.

happy pride month

Happy pride to all you sick fucks in my phone I love gay people

Yep. I switched the default search in my browsers to DuckDuckGo for a reason.

I don't need to be "protected" from seeing porn, I need porn artists to be protected from being debanked, having their work stolen by AI, being abused for the content of their work, and going broke.

I am being so for fucking real right now we need positivity and to not constantly dig our fangs into the queer and/or femme creators we enjoy Be on your best behavior. Revel in queer JOY this June - we need to be united and proud in the face of everything.

the NYT is a trashy rag that I don't read, but on the eve of pride, I want to remind any straight people following me: the world already revolves around you. if you are offended when queer people do not center you in their own communities, you just tell on yourself that you are not an ally.

The autistic realization that your boss didn’t really know what they were doing, they just knew how to navigate social networks better than you do. Because they just disappeared and you can’t find any “How to do it” files on their servers.

"Every 'big' studio uses AI" ok and Nestle poisons water supplies and uses child labor and teflon poisons entire neighborhoods there's chiqita banana gangs. Just because 'big business' is doing it doesn't mean it's cool beans. Are you a fucking idiot? Do you have the moral fiber of wet tissues?

Using AI to generate images (or voices/music) IS NOT real art. Pass it on.

All too often the heroes of such fantasies behave exactly as the villains do, acting with mindless violence, but the hero is on the “right” side and therefore will win. Right makes might.
