Marisa "Mars" Ewing-Moody 🏳️‍🌈

Holy shit congrats!

I’ll be giving a talk on January 27 at 2:30 PM at the Takarazuka City Community Center Hall, titled “Nonbinary and Transgender Realities: Respecting Gender Diversity.”
I hope this can be a space to resist nonbinary exclusion and to learn the knowledge we all need.
I’d be glad if you could join us!

Y'all don't ever let yourself be guilted into doing *any* work for an employer that laid you off. It's a business relationship that ended when they notified you. They figure out a few weeks later that they didn't understand some function of your job? Not your problem.

you should all play more indie games made by 1 to 4 gay people in their bedrooms

A photograph showing 2 copies of my debut graphic novel "What We Don't Talk About". The cover is illustrated and shows a young interracial couple hugging each other against a fury red sky while clouds and leaves fly by. The man who is white is facing away with a distant look in his eyes, the woman who is Black looks directly at the viewer with a worried look. The text above the books reads, Giveway fundraiser.

I'm doing another giveaway fundraiser for one of my closest friends, she's heavily pregnant, was made unemployed and is now facing losing her only home.

Horror Podcasters,

Drop your most listened to episode of the year. Let’s introduce people to your show.

This would be sick honestly.

Joint Statement on the Acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Netflix The world's largest streaming company swallowing one of its biggest competitors is what antitrust laws were designed to prevent. The outcome would eliminate jobs, push down wages, worsen conditions for all entertainment workers, raise prices for consumers, and reduce the volume and diversity of content for all viewers. Industry workers along with the public are already impacted by only a few powerful companies maintaining tight control over what consumers can watch on television, on streaming, and in theaters. This merger must be blocked.

The following is a statement from the WGA on the Acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Netflix.

The specific example he gives in here is so funny. Like, couldn't have picked a more self defeating example than photoshop, the piece of software where its users are extremely vocal about literally preferring the version from a decade ago lmao

Xainan is a masculine person with lavender skin, and dark berry red hair cut short beneath a wide brimmed black hat. Seir is an antlered person with a heavyset frame, brown skin, and shaggy black hair with a lion-like tail. There is text that reads: “The CHAOS Protocol.”

A screenshot of CNN's morning newsletter that says "Write a short blurb with link to video" in the spot where a short article teaser would normally be

Really hope this is from the author leaving a note to self in by mistake, and not an indication that CNN started using AI to write their newsletters.
