Onedrive settings. A toggle for using AI to detect and identify faces is set to on. The caption says, you can only turn off this setting 3 times per year.

One of my favorite charities Orphaned Wildlife Center suddenly started posting A/I s/lop when they really don't have to. You loose the support of nature loving people when you use a technology that is using an excessive amount of water and energy. Harming the world for mediocre views isn't it... 🐻💔

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

just being straight up 100% serious that if you are cis you should have to either pass an oral exam on whipping girl or secure the signatures of 40 trans people, one of whom is julia serano, before being allowed to shove trans shit into your tv shit

Julia Serano @juliaserano.bsky.social · 1d

apparently the new Netflix show Monster: The Ed Gein Story invented an "autogynephilia" backstory for their serial killer (because of course they did!). so time to re-up my collection of writings on this pseudoscientific zombie theory...

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 1d

They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

It is not too late for you to start wearing a mask in public.

It is not too late for you to start advocating clean air.

It is not too late for you to learn how to build your own air filters or to tap in with folks already doing so.

It's Werewolf time 😈🐺
'The Shifting Pool' - #BearHybridArt 2017

The man waded out into the dark water, breaking the polished reflection of black glass.
He could feel the moon's pull as he moved beneath her bright embrace.
Returning as a beast after singing out his pain to the empty sky.

A solid black werewolf howls or roars the agony of his changed shape against the backdrop of a very full moon.

Reminds me of a story my wife told from when she was a preschool teacher. She told a little girl to put on her shoes because it was snowy. The girl refused, went outside, and said, “my feet are cold.” They told her, “that’s consequences.” She threw a fit, yelling, “I don’t like consequences!”

1. Last night, 26 Senate Dems helped pass a NDAA containing a military trans sports and surgery ban and dropped demands for protections against US troop deployments in the bill.

It is the latest in the national fight over must-pass bills during the shutdown.

26 Senate Democrats Help Pass Military NDAA Containing Trans Sports, Surgery Ban, No Protection For US Troop Deployments

The bill passed by a wide margin in the Senate and will be the starting point for negotiations with the House, which contain more severe anti-trans riders.
