Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

I was afraid someone would find out I'm trans. I was afraid they'd try to hurt me. I was afraid it'd ruin friendships, the way it had when I was a teen, or ruin my writing career.

DID is so stigmitized and misunderstood, I'm really hoping to combat that.

I think it's special being able to experience different aspects of the gender spectrum and ways of thinking that aren't fixed. Many people are ashamed to talk about DID or live in fear of their secret being discovered. I spent ten years living stealth, and I was constantly afraid. 1/~

I plan to move to either a blue state or out of the country. Any mutuals have any advice or suggestions? I don't make a lot of money, so hoping to find somewhere affordable, where I can live long-term, that's trans friendly.

It sometimes feels like life is just wearing down on me. I hope one day it'll get better.

I believe I've been shadow-banned on Twitter, but there's no reason for that. I can only think it's because of the trans flag in my handle there. Has anyone else experienced this?

Well this is bad. Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations exposing sensitive user data

I tried a few quick searches. I found someone's chat where I can see their api key

I found some building their resume. Their name, email and phone numbers are exposed.

But if I had bottom surgery, before I was aware of this disorder, it would've been devastating for my female alter. And I wasn't aware of this disorder until age 27. I transitioned at 14.
Transitioning saved my life, again. I am so happy I did. I still am. I just feel the need to speak about this.

Lastly, I will say, I have no intention of detransitioning. I am so grateful I was able to transition as a teen, because otherwise, I would have k---ed myself. This is a fact, DID or not.

I looked. I think that, if you're a follower of mine and you're reading this, and you're trans, and you have no memory of your childhood, inexplicable PTSD symptoms, and continuous memory loss, that's worth looking into. I wish I noticed sooner.

I want to concisely explain this process and document it. What troubles me is, I think there are other trans people out there with dissociative symptoms, who don't recognize it. I thought I was a trans man for years. I was BAFFLED when I began feeling dysphoric agaiin at how male

Then, nearly a year later, I was SAed, and that caused my protector, Wolff, to make himself known to me. And everything after that's just been a rapidly descending rabbit hole.

For most people, they don't begin realizing until later in life. I think, what caused this, was a horrendous, antisemitic and transphobic massage therapy appointment I had around age 26, where my therapist went on a Qanon rant for nearly an hour, I dissociated and began fawning.

And I can't even claim to be the original one, because looking back, I can clearly delineate the period in early adolescence I went from (birth name), female, artist to Aden, male, writer. So, I'm not the original. I'm just another alter.

Apparently, in DID, dissociative barriers tend to break down around the age of 30, so it's always been like a ticking time bomb. It just is incredibly jolting, realizing my life is never going to be the same, that my aspirations are irrelevant, because my body is not my own.

Thanks, Melanie!!

Thanks, Amy!!

Utterly obsessed with this book. I can’t wait for readers to meet Elliot. Congrats, Aden!

Thank you so much, Sam!! This wouldn't have been possible without you. So thrilled!!

I'm so overjoyed to be able to announce by adult horror debut, YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN HOME NOW. This book was such a journey.

Any mutuals dealt with emerging mental health issues in their late twenties? It's been incredibly stressful and disheartening recently, seeing the impacts of a serious issue that will likely affect me for the rest of my life.

I didn't! Thank you for telling me about them.

Where I don't have to worry about being hate-crimed. Where I can be myself. I don't make much from my books, but I'm at the point where the mental ramifications of living in a conservative area overweigh the cost benefits.

What should confound them is that it's EVIL! Annexing Canada is EVIL! Introducing this completely foreign idea from within his degenerate brain is EVIL! Humoring it is EVIL! Weighing its pros and cons is EVIL! Weighing its fucking electoral impact is EVIL! THREATENING OTHER COUNTRIES IS EVIL! God!

Do any mutuals have advice for trans-friendly blue states? I'm currently in Arizona, hoping to move within the next several months. As a gender-fluid person, I no longer feel safe expressing myself in Arizona, or going out looking femme or androgynous.

This is the first time in US history that a state has repealed statutory protections for a specific group.

CDC will no longer process transgender data The agency's decision will likely affect a number of federal health surveillance systems that serve as critical resources for researchers.

The New York Times: "We need more data on trans healthcare, it shouldn't be allowed"

Trump: "Fuck the very concept of data"

this is early 1800s or earlier, because of the darkening of the wood, the crazed lacquer, and darkening of the pigments. When I saw it, I thought, that looks like 18th century polychrome.
