Fuck your ChatGPT, if I want to see a caricature of myself I will make the effort to go to the seaside and pay ยฃ15 for a cruel man to give me body dysmorphia like weโ€™ve always done.

Goldilocks by L.R. Lam

Goldilocks by L.R. Lam

Goldilocks by @lrlam.bsky.social focuses on four female astronauts who steal an interstellar spaceship in pursuit of an exoplanet that can sustain a new civilization, as society on a dying Earth becomes increasingly oppressive toward women. Loved the hard sci-fi elements and social commentary.

Hey!

I am Sio from Owl's Tale, and I want to tell you about the book I have been co-authoring!

Fen's Guide to Myriad Realms was a great project to work on, forming worlds of our own to be used with the DnD Rules!

i'm sorry but I can't stop thinking about how funny it is to write a song called "the fate of ophelia" and have it be an upbeat pop song about your quarterback boyfriend. thank god I found a man so I don't have to kill myself

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

one of my FAVOURITE language things is hearing words from different languages and being like wait are they related. welsh "ceffyl" and french "cheval" (horse) are cousins! theyre both descendants of proto-celtic "kaballos", which got to french through gaulish!

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.

I'm younger and I grew up very close to where she is. These terms were *rife* in the late 80s/early 90s. But that was over 30 years ago! I can't remember the last time I heard these words outside of bigots and racists. There is no way that anyone in 2025 doesn't know that it's wrong! At all!
