You sound like a zealot.
“You’re holding dangerous views…”

No I’m not. I’ve seen videos of kids who transitioned, couldn’t change back, and felt like they had their lives ruined.
I’ve also seen some trans folks who are happy to have transitioned!

As I already said, there are two sides to this.

Slaying inner dragons, a little story of alchemy and hope Sometimes the gift in the darkness isn’t immediately clear.

(Your tone of this sounds confrontational.)

Because in some cases, it can be pushed onto kids. There can be regret, but changes can be irreversible.

There are 2 sides to every story and it’s important that both get fair representation, especially given that this can affect younger people.

Born from the Flames: Salamander Mythology Discover the intriguing world of salamanders, their regenerative powers, and the folklore intertwining magic and medicine throughout history.

Salamanders are connected with folk magic and were thought of as one of the 4 elemental creatures in Alchemy. They were also thought to be the source of a curious ancient relic: the fire cleansed cloth.

Dawson Creek, B.C., eyes $100M water pipeline as deepening drought threatens drinking supply | CBC News The City of Dawson Creek is looking to fast-track an estimated $100-million water pipeline as an unprecedented, years-long drought threatens the city’s only source of drinking water.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“We never expected a four-year drought. We always thought we needed to get through a one-year drought, and so we invested in that direction," Henderson said. "The system has been extremely resilient, but we believe we are at a bit of a tipping point now."

You say it isn’t build a bear — but there’s so much interference now from the state, from public officials, from the media etc. And that’s really confusing for kids.
All I’d want is my kid to still have the option to have children when they’re older.

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

Two DVD cases - The Matrix and Bridget Jones’s Diary.

Went to the opshop yesterday and added $4 worth of physical media to my collection (I currently own about 30 DVDs)
Stone cold classics, both.

So what? The literary world is always in the first detonation blast zone. Run towards the searing light. You don't want to live in the world without the arts. Become a writer.

That looks amazing! Congratulations! 😊💖

I’m very emotional today, the book I’ve illustrated came in the mail and it’s the first time I illustrated a whole book and chirldrens book and for such a big publisher too.

This project was huge, months of work and I’ve learned a lot 🥹🩷

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."
