Get the old selfie stick out :p

That just means you need to go back to Japan to get a new one! I think that's how that works...

Wishing you all the luck Mae!

I need to stop watching YouTube/Instagram/tiktok brainrot, it feels like my attention span is not as it used to be.

Well not too late for the hydration but probably for the sunscreen. Good thing I work indoors, aside from the quick dash between classrooms XD

I haven't done either D:

This is why I love the preferential voting system we have in Australia! My vote towards the minor parties still count, especially when either of the shitbag parties need their votes to form parliament.

Stop Victoria’s public school funding cuts • Every student’s learning and wellbeing is at risk when schools don’t have the resources to meet the diverse needs of all learners, including more 1:1 support from teachers and education support staf...

Victorian Teachers and Education Support staff members deserve better!

Chiitan Knight will continue to spread his message until there are no more transgender people who are subjected to unjustified criticism and slander♡
Let's create a world where we can all love freely🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

There are people in the world who say that there are only two genders: male and female.
But the heart and soul have much more personality.
It's very sad that people who can't accept this sometimes utter very harsh words.
You were born to live freely.
Chiitan is an ally of transgender people🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

That's amazing news! Well done Liz!

My voice is the result of 2 decades of classical training that was interrupted by a masculine pitch shift at 35 years old. It is attached to a body that is preparing to undergo surgery that as of 1/1 is no longer covered under federal healthcare plans. I know, because I was hired for a post office job that I immediately had to quit because my benefits would not cover my hormones, either. Acting is the work I do to reconnect to who I am and where I have been. My work in Destiny 2 had moments informed by my sexual assault in 2009. My work in Hades is informed by my love of kink. When I speak about my work, I remember the lines I said, how they felt in my throat, the memories I lingered on. AI steals those from me and uses my instrument as a corpse. It evokes the image of my mother, standing in the kitchen over a chicken she slaughtered, laughing as she showed me its voice box before squeezing it. I heard it cluck, just like it was alive. And now I am that chicken, with my voice box held by someone hoping to make money while my blood is fresh on their hands. Queer performance cannot be separated from queer performers. Feeding our voices into a machine that is designed to make them statistically average robs us of the very fiber of our identity. They don't have the vocabulary or dataset necessary to properly handle this job, and I'm not interested in giving it to them.

In case anyone wants to know my feelings on AI as a queer performer outside of the enormous environmental and ethical concerns.

That's what a director's cut is for :p

Think of the new poison types that it'll introduce!

Glad you're home Mae! Rest up and feel better soon!

Thank you for the video, it was very informative.

I suppose the only question I have is, if you had the opportunity to do it over, would you?

Keep you the amazing videos!

What a way to end off the year

Looks like it'll be something I'll have to experiment with, I'm interested in giving it a go!

What is Browning Sauce? We don't have such a product in Australia and Google is saying it's BBQ Sauce or Worcestershire sauce which I don't believe to be correct...

Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.

This is just upsetting. I used to love LEVEL-5 and their games. From my time playing Professor Layton, Fantasy Life or Ni No Kuni, I look back fondly however, I now cannot support them in good conscious.

Where will you be when the dysphoria hits?

What is it your not sure on?

I like to think that Greg(f) and Mae wash and take care of their hair while Greg(m) doesn't.

Is Lorem ipsum not good enough for you!?

Damnit Greg, stop pushing buttons on things you don't understand... Though I suppose the same could be said for Mae.

I miss the days of fansubs.

It needs to stop.

Literally everywhere, whether you like it or not.

Big companies are eager to shove AI down our throats. Microsoft wants it in every program they develop, as does Adobe. Every time you google something, it insists on showing a AI summary. Even some feel good posts on Reddit are AI shit.

It's not much but I sent you what I can.
