So you can't write a story about rape, even if it's by a survivor.
You can't write a story about childhood sexual trauma, even if it's by a survivor.
You can't write a story about survival sex work or being trafficked, even if it's by a survivor.
Fuck this so much.

that autoplaying media and algorithmic content delivery aren't banned is a regulatory failure of the highest order, truly

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors, dies by suicide
Other Epstein victims credited Giuffre with giving them the courage to speak out.
A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41.
Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

In a study of over 100 German soldiers who refused to follow orders to kill civilians during WW2, none received the death penalty, and indeed very few
suffered any serious consequence.

thinking about media moments of destigmatization like Mr. Rogers sharing a foot bath with the black policeman or Princess Di shaking the hand of an AIDS patient and what that would look like today and for some reason my mind went to "Obama wears a fursuit"

People need to realize trans misogyny isn’t just blatant bigotry like “trans women aren’t women.” It’s also the refusal to extend empathy toward or desire to understand trans women’s perspectives which builds & curdles into hostility. And I’m seeing that kind more and more in leftist spaces.

My surgeon supplied a list of local providers that will write the letter in one session. One derided the letter as unnecessary gatekeeping and writes them for free, whether or not you have need.
I love my state.

I keep telling people to schedule now and ask questions later because you'll have a damned long time to answer them.

and that's just to schedule the consult; the surgery will take place "typically" 6-12 months later (so actually 1-2 years later)

According to Wikipedia, it was not a Radio Shack product specifically. It may be worth pointing out that I was a small child when this came out and have no contemporary memories of the thing.

Quote from The Sisters of Dorley chapter 29:
"Pippa’s father used to say that ‘hurry up and wait’ was the method by which hell could most effectively torture its captured sinners, that being made to hope for something, to put one’s life on hold in anticipation of it, was a pain more exquisite than losing a finger."

There was essentially zero coverage of the disabled protest to stop Medicaid cuts. Capitol police dragged protesters out, many in wheelchairs, and arrested 34 people. It was barely a blip on the news because nobody really cares about the disabled.

Can Designers Avoid Meetings?
LLMs are not the first tool to promise that they can free us from having to talk to people so we can "focus on the work." But talking to people IS the work.
Techies are always chasing the mythical tool that will let them "focus on the work" and avoid tedious distractions like "talking to people."
But talking to people IS the work. You can complain about it on the internet, or take responsibility and make your life a lot easier.

Will SCOTUS reconsider when conservative Muslim parents want to opt their children out of books that show women exposing their hair? Or will they narrow it to cover only "religious" issues that Christians care about?

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?
