Large text that is drawn with the same colors as the Trans Pride flag. It is against a black background and reads, "Mourn the dead, and fight like hell for the living." Underneath the text is the hashtag #TDOR, and next to it is the name of the artist (TheFoxFisher) enclosed in a rectangle.
On this #TransDayOfRemembrance, we honor and we remember all members of the trans community whose lives were violently cut short, and who should still be alive today.
May we all fight for, fight with, and support the trans community whenever and wherever they need it. #TDOR

All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good.

Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output.
Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity.
Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention

I do understand: you want permission. Thereβs a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you donβt look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didnβt notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You donβt need me to believe itβs useful, you just want me to be polite about it.
But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.
I cosign every single word of this

A series of blue and green stacked horizontal bars on a chart showing that about 6 in 10 Americans say they donβt want to get an updated COVID-19 vaccine and opinions differ by age and political affiliation
A majority of U.S. adults (59%) say they donβt want to get an updated COVID-19 vaccine. This is roughly identical to the share who said in October 2024 that they probably wouldnβt get the updated vaccine.

This is what i mean by the post below. People are (JUSTIFIABLY) angry and afraid, and there are bad actors who want to take advantage of that in order to push regressive, reactionary legislation that will only hurt marginalized groups.

Not to mention authors don't get just ONE purchase. Libraries tend to purchase multiple copies of popular books, they also buy the physical audiobook, and audiobook streaming and ebook rights. Obviously not of EVERY book purchased, but requested/super popular ones they could buy all of these.

Universal Health Care Could Have Saved More Than 330,000 U.S. Lives during COVID
The numbers of lives lost and dollars spent would have been significantly lower if coverage had been extended to everyone, a new study says
Remembering this 2022 study that found that universal health care in the US could have saved 330,000 lives in the early days of covid.
It could also have saved us $105 billion -- ON TOP of the annual $438 billion we could save in non-pandemic years.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.
Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!
