It's really funny.
Back in the AF days, I and maybe like 2 other people had come out as trans. Seemed like we were the only ones, especially with some of the comments.
If only we really knew we were in a henhouse's worth of eggs.
Happy 4th, everyone.

Hey! For real!
If just a FRACTION of my followers watched a half hour of content on my cartoon channel, we could monetize and I could start properly compensating my dedicated apprentices.
We have a TON of stuff to choose from, so please give us a try! π
People want stories.
We are drawn to the story in art. We pause and spend time with a painting until we find the joy in each brushstroke. In that moment we see the artist and storyteller like a wizard behind the curtain. That is absent in gen ai.
Go be that storyteller.
Go be human and create.
Fact check: True.

There's a lot of 'it's not just about trans people' or 'it's not just about Black people' and, my friends, it shouldn't need to be more before you care.

hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.
Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

But it's basically my life job to annoy the hell out of people like Musk and Zuckerberg. I stay there not because I support them, but because they'd much rather have me gone.
And I must be a thorn in their side until they find me.
