4 frame comic. The author is in bookstore. Text above reads : 
I  went to my local bookstore
today, and the first thing I
saw upon entering was a
display of children's books
made with aI.

In second frame, she holds a book. Text reads :
telling stories to children
is so quintessential to the
human experience. why would
anyone want to let robots
do it for us?
In the third frame there is a recipe book open on a cake picture. Text reads :
a few months ago, I bought
a recipe book that turned
out to have been made with aI.
hallucinated cakes that I
unknowingly placed next
to a binder containing my
mom and grandma's hand-
written recipes.
In the last frame, the author as a child is baking with her grandmother. Text reads :
I'm not against aI because it
might ''steal my job'' as an
artist. I'm against aI because
it robs society from the very
experiences that connect us.

Getting new details on this now:

As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

Trans people aren’t the scandal. The scandal is national newspapers like The Telegraph using its platform to launder hate, manipulate public trust, and call it β€œbalance” - THAT’S what Parliament should be investigating!!!

Both Labour and in the US the Democrats made the fatal error of assuming the LGBT vote was marginal, could be diluted, and wasn't motivated.

They also forgot that the LGBT vote shitposting and badmouthing them has a big reach and ripples outwards.

This small Pennsylvania town just elected the state's first-ever out transgender mayor Eria Deuso has become the first out transgender mayor in Pennsylvania.

6 Nov 2025 -- Lost in the news last night, a small PA town elects state's first transgender mayor. Eria Deuso of Downington (30 miles west of Philly) won 64% to 35% over her Rep. rival. Can the statehouse be far away? @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Decriminalise abortion and make it a protected human right. Women’s rights are under threat from the far right. Nigel Farage just called our current abortion provisions β€œutterly ludicrous” – and others in power are paying attention. A vote in Parliament could ...

Nigel Farage says abortion laws are β€œutterly ludicrous.”

Gosh, it’s the 29th March, just a couple of days to 31st March and TDoR, Transgender Day of Visibility.

Thursday 27th March saw the launch in London of the β€œTrans is Human” project, the brainchild of Jake Graf. I’m proud to have been a part of the project along with twelve other trans people.

Since 1918 at every general election more men have been elected than women. @CentenaryAction's graph shows that whilst progress has been made & we now have 263 women MPs we still need 62 more for a #GenderEqualParliament #AskHerToStand
