A thread on the harms of AI in its current form, and the lack of legislative control over its implementations.
Whenever I repost this, it's because another post has been added. The thread is long.

I see so many #ActuallyAutistic support pages, groups, etc diving enthusiastically & headfirst into using AI for banners, infographics etc. I ask you please to reconsider. The environmental impacts & ethical concerns are not worth the tradeoff. Do some research. It's easy and fun, but it's not good.

Still raising funds to save us before work kicks in next year. Still a lot on our plate. But we are fighting for it. Tess will likely never take commissions again, so my job is to make sure we get the back log out and everyone has access to digital versions of her work.
Guess who has two thumbs and has to raise 1k by the 28th And 3k by the 10th? Work will not begin again for me until next year so I have to try to save us while also handling shipping and re-lettering. We need help. Storage is at risk first. New sales incoming.

And here's a little sneak peek at who's going to visit Hector next week. You might be familiar with these two—a real estate agent on a Carnivore Diet, and a former Vovoide of Wallachia looking to become an expat.

GOOD NEWS! We got an extension for ONE MORE WEEK of Rapture of the Deep’s campaign—AND we hit 50%! But don’t you worry—Hector will STILL be bothered by nightly visitors as we count down (just a little more space between uploads)! Also—HUGE thanks to @simonroy.bsky.social for the shout-out today!

After years of research and trials, the WHO this year recommended the first new tool to fight malaria in decades: spatial repellents. They last up to a year and they could help fight malaria as well as dengue and other diseases - and protect refugees.

In self-interest but also general interest, folks: Black Friday is coming up, and small publishers/independent creators will always be a better choice than megacorps.
When the sales drop, please remember that!

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

#ActuallyAutistic friends who used to/still do toe walking, why do you think you did/do it?
As a child, it made me happy, it just felt right, like i was more agile and could move more easily through spaces. I'm not sure it was a contact sensory thing, it felt more like a body intuition thing.
