It is so hard to be trans right now, y’all. Like, I can’t speak for everyone but I’m white-knuckling it pretty much constantly at this point. I hope cis people are understanding how much is at stake for us in this moment: It’s literally our right to exist as ourselves that is being stripped away.
This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative.
1. Cats
2. Zuppa toscana
3. Vampire media
What the fuck, that's horrifying. To answer your question as an invisibly disabled person, not unless I tell them, but I have noticed an immediate (sometimes mid-sentence!) shift from treating me like a competent adult to treating me like a toddler as soon as some people find out.
Oh, that's why my sinuses are so angry today
I'm on a "Techno-Pessimists" one that mentions not liking NFTs of all things and I'm like... buddy, that ship sailed a LONG time ago
Me going back to writing vampire fiction is a recession indicator
Target I'm sorry that was a breakup not just a boycott baby.
That is an A+ dog and I thank you for sharing them
Armand: are you sleeping
Lestat: yes, fuck off
Armand: rrratcatcher
Lestat, angrily scribbling: fuck, that's SUCH a good line for my autobiography
Armand: NOT THE POINT I WAS MAKING YOU LITTLE--fuck it, I'm going back to France
The fact that we now have automatic ass-kissing machines in the form of LLMs doesn't help either, I feel
Lestat is cool, but how could Anne Rice drop transmasc icon Gabrielle on me and then not mention her again until the end of the book
This look 3 minutes and you can do it anonymously.
It's open until the 27th of April, so set a reminder in your calendar if you're too busy doomscrolling right now 😉
Hell yeah man, I'm happy for you
im brazilian and also a us citizen so im like yeah mandatory voting is great, but then the end of this is uh. youre a fascist lol. voting in brazil is legally mandatory so election days are always on sundays and many places make public transit free that day. if you dont vote you pay a tiny fine
I think that's a little low, you should charge them a bllion at least
I've been on T for three weeks now and it's going great, and I'm going to a flower show with my aunt and grandma 😀
After 3 weeks on T gel I'm starting to smell like a guy and it's weirdly exciting
So, uh. In disability studies we call this a "disability dongle" or a techno-utopian solution to a problem that appeals to the able-bodied imagination rather than the actuality of disabled life itself.
Deploying a LLM to translate a legal notice for an asylum seeker functions similarly.
baby shooting stars 💫
Like if I tell my friend I'm mad at Maura Healey because of her partnership with ICE and shoehorning ChatGPT into our executive branch, they're gonna tell me to call her office or write a letter about it
ChatGPT will tell me to commit a felony and call me "brave" for doing it
What I find fascinating about LLMs (in the way that I find e.g. the clinical timelines of Chernobyl victims "fascinating") is not the sycophancy, but the way said sycophancy seems to encourage and amplify the user's absolute worst impulse
I think you just answered that same question for me too, so thanks for that
Me the other 364 days of the year: GENERAL STRIKE NOW
Me filing my taxes: daddy needs that $140 federal refund 😭
Silly woman should lead by example
God bless an orange cat
When I first saw this I thought it was a campaign hat and was very confused as to why the Yankees and Dodgers were doing a collaboration with the Massachusetts State Troopers
If you are a white cis American in particular, you don’t *get* to give up. Sowwee.
The trans masculine version of it is what I call “Schrödinger’s pussy”
Oh, so she's extra orange. Double orange genes
