Sometimes, community-based participatory research can be as simple as: Person with access gets funding, goes to the community and says "this isn't my money, help me spend it"

Transphobes will never be content with excluding trans people from public life, they demand that everyone hate us as much as they do, that everyone should be elated by our absence and furious at our presence. They are utterly obsessed with us.

Hey! If you’ve ever liked my voice, now, before the end of the year, would be a really good time to hire me for any SAG-approved projects!

the UK cover on the left and the US cover on the right, description similar to that in the first post at top of the thread

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.

No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.

No.

these are great!

That's amazing!

Maith thú!

I love her

Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives.

If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜

(as in, they can't be when this is the control politicians have)

solid example for the next time someone tells you scientists are responsible for public trust in science

oh I'm looking forward to watching this!

I need to learn how to knit and crochet because I just found someone who dyes wool inspired by the colour palettes of horror television and film. www.savannahrosehandmade.com

This is brilliant!
