Of the Devil touches on a lot of similar themes, but it actually bothers to explore them with compelling characters.
Could be good as a palate cleanser.

Timeline's looking pretty grim tonight. To everyone out there, hold onto whatever emotions you have to get through this. Love's great, hope's good, spite'll work in a pinch.

Trans rights.

I'm so sorry for your loss! It's never easy to lose a pet. Take the time you need to mourn, and to find someone to help Toby.

Cranberry sauce! I have a real soft spot for sweet foods.

Congratulations!

Diamond art, cuddling my cat, reading, and taking a stab at my first script. But mostly video essays and Silksong.

I'll try and squeeze in a stream tomorrow and try and get back in the saddle, but I do need to ration my free time to learn video editing and get a script together, stay tuned...

Alright, I learned my lesson. I'll pace myself with new releases to make time for streaming and posting. I'll only spend an hour or two on DK Bananza and No Sleep for Koname Date, and then I'll...
Wait, where did the week go?

Replit's AI deleted a codebase against its own instructions, and ChatGPT hallucinates and misinforms users. When Grok undercuts Elon's views, he messes with it until it goes on racist rants. Does 47 think the MechaHitler fiasco an example of "woke" being "an existential threat to reliable AI"?

Putting aside the ethical & legal questions (would preventing a contractor from making a "woke" AI count as a 1st Amendment violation? Wouldn't he need Congressional authorization to set federal regulation?), this doesn't even sound workable. LLM's routinely ignore rules, this won't be different.

Looking forward to watching, take care and stay healthy!

I'm working on setting up a fundraising stream later this month, and I'd be honored if you tuned in.

For everyone else: we have to do our part to meet the moment. Fundraise for charities & advocacy group. Call your electeds, testify at state & local hearings. Do what you can to help people move to states where care is legal.

For everyone affected by these decisions: I'm so, so sorry, you deserve better than a government working to keep you from help and healthcare. I promise, we won't stop fighting for a better world. We'll fix this mess someday.

Between administration's decision to remove the Trevor Project from its crisis hotline and today's SCOTUS ruling, it's going to be rough for queer people, and trans kids specifically. Please, check in with your friends and loved ones, they could use someone to talk to.

Calibrated thunk remains second best

4) Get involved! Call elected officials, donate to someone's healthcare or move, volunteer to give out hugs at Pride!
I know politicians love to hear the constituents thank them for important votes. If your electeds don't want to listen, there's always the catharsis of complianing to Gov. Hairgel.

3) Support LBGTQ+ artists, writers, musicians, streamers and other entertainers. We're not hard to find on Bluesky. It can range from something short like a follow or comment to monetary support like purchase or tips.
Hey, I'm a trans streamer, maybe I should plug my-

2) Have serious conversations with people, including IRL.
It's important to be honest and open with others about stressful events, but it can be stressful to broach the conversation.

This also applies to people of any demographic, at any time of year. Get out there!

1) Look up publications covering how current events are impacting queer people.
I cannot overstate how often court decisions, laws, and executive orders that have major ramifications go by the general public unnoticed. I swear by Erin in the Morning, but there are a ton of sources out there!

Pride month starts in a few days! Before we get into celebrations, I'd like to take a moment to list out a few ways you can help support the LGBTQ+ community!

Sorry you've had to deal with all of this harassment. Stay strong and don't give up!
