The Ghost of Catmas Past

4 frame comic. characters are saying : November 13th marks the beginning of Trans Awareness Week. at least one in ten humans are trans, non-binary or gender non-conforming. Most of them on the planet don't have the privilege of safely transitioning or expressing themselves authentically. Making spaces explicitly inclusive of gender diversity can be the difference between life and death.

November 13th-19th is Trans Awareness Week.

Stick around, this is probably the most wholesome comic on the internet.

Damn. How Tanner learned how to be a decent kid I have no idea!

4 frame comic. the first frame shows a tangram swan. text reads : they call it "aI", but large language models (llm) such as chatbots are far from intelligent: they are pattern- recognition machines that churn out whatever might sound like a reply to the thing you last said. 2nd frame shows inside a data center. text reads : that distinction matters, because the technology for actual aI simply doesn't exist. the only way for llm to get better is to feed it more data, transiting in bigger polluting data centers, scavenged always deeper into our devices. 3rd frame shows a child blowing bubbles. text reads : but once the whole internet has been fed to their llm, how can these companies promise neverending growth to their shareholders? that's what makes "AI" a bubble, kept afloat by circular investments and hype. 4th frame shows a chatbot logo. text reads : llms need us to keep interacting and coming back in order to grow. they are sycophantic by design. they amplify delusions and will never disagree with you or challenge your worldview. it's ripping apart communities for a few billionaires' hubris.

4 frame comics, where we see scenes from the 1936 olympic games in Berlin : the Berlin stadium, 5 women holding hula hoops in the shape of the olympics logo, athletes doing an obstacle course. the last frame is the 2028 Los Angeles olympic logo. the text reads : the olympics have seen various forms of gender policing since the games of 1936 in nazi germany. it was introduced as a way to enforce the gender binary by disqualifying people with inter- sex characteristics or atypical gender expression. naked parades in front of a jury, gynecological inspections, chromosomal testing, certifica- tions that only richer countries could issue... these were all attempts at gender policing by the olympic committee between 1936 and 1996. one after the other, these practices were outlawed. they were all found to be flawed, misleading, humiliating, discrimi- natory, racist, misogynistic. since 2003, strict guidelines have allowed intersex and trans women to participate. despite 20 years of inclusion, there has only been one trans woman who competed, not winning any medal. yet, we just learned that the I.o.C. was looking into bringing back gender policing to ban intersex & trans athletes, in time for the nazi germany olympics of 2028. oops, I mean united states.

What a coincidence!

I shared it with my friends and they loved it.

Is that an egg I hear cracking?

And eventually she'll wonder why you never call, it couldn't POSSIBLY be her...

Gratitude is a good thing regardless of responsiblity. That's why people move on from thankless jobs to jobs with lower pay & the same position description. Gratitude goes a long way towards making one feel appreciated.

I don't have the energy to seek out new music, so the mall does it for me. But that's why I have both soundhound & shazam on my phone. Let them figure it out and then I can find the musician when I get home!

Comic. Someone is claiming to predict the exact date of a future earthquake. Should you listen? [flowchart: start] → NO (There are big earthquakes constantly, so if anyone ever *does* figure this out, it will be immediately obvious that their method works and then the world’s seismologists will not shut up about it. You won’t need this flowchart.)

4 frame comic. a street reporter approaches a man wearing a big hoodie, asking : sir! how much do you think we should hold feminism accountable for the male loneliness epidemic? he replies : there is no meaningful difference between the rates of loneliness between men and women*. the reason we're always talking about men's is that they're making it everyone else's problem. A note under the frame adds : *in fact, several studies (graham & ong, 2024; cigna & morning consult, 2021) suggest that more women experience loneliness than men. In the 3rd frame, he says : according to research*, the primary reason that men isolate themselves is because they feel incapable of living up to rigid gendered expectations. the far-right exploits that vulnerability to radicalize young men. another note under the frame adds a source : *the state of american men 2025, equimundo: center for masculinities and social justice. in the last frame, he makes a peace sign with his fingers and says : if anything, feminism is the solution to men's loneli- ness. let's deconstruct the gender norms that hurt every- one, before these techno- fascists divide us even more.

It broke me. I've been having a miserable day and the dramatic reading portion just kept me laughing for like half an hour straight. 10/10

4 frame comic. a guy with a red cap asks Stephie : stop saying that fascism is a right- wing thing. what about stalin or mao? checkmate, leftist. she replies : authoritarianism isn't a synonym of fascism. fascism is ultra-nationalist, whereas communism, with or without the authoritarianism, is against any form of nationalism. fascism is a conservative ideology obsessed with national purity that teams up with big businesses to maintain itself in power. that's why it's considered far-right. but why do you care so much? do you think fascism would suddenly become acceptable to left-wingers if it had a leftist spin to it? sounds like something that someone who finds fascism acceptable would think.

Why is fascism right-wing?

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Hit them right where it hurts. Comment on social media about how ugly it is and how much you hate it and now you never want to buy their products. Make sure you hashtag them in the post as much as possible. Then also switch to a softdrink company that doesn't use plAIgarism.

Isn't the new #Coke xmas ad ugly? It makes me never want to buy any #CocaCola products.

The actual scary thing about rattos is how tragically short their lives are.
