Hey friends, can I ask you all to give our @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social Crowdfundr a look? Any amount helps us with our workspace renovation plans, if you're not able (which I understand!), if you could share the link that would be amazing. Love you all! 🤗🧡 👻📚

Scientific research of gender transition has been stuck on "should these people be allowed to transition" for 50 years, so we don't know shit about how transitioning actually works.
Okay, transphobes freaking out because trans woman makes good on Broadway, yadah, yadah. But you skimmed right over the interesting bit. Estrogen made her feet smaller?? This is the kind of weird factoid I need to know more about. Is there scientific backing for this? Is it just anecdotal?
Dylan Mulvaney's latest success, this time on Broadway, once again has conservative weirdos frothing at the mouth.

No bullshit, started watching that Sheep Detectives trailer and thought it was the new Animal Farm trailer I still haven't seen.

I think I'm gonna become obsessed with Sheep Detectives. Like it was beamed here from a better dimension.

It was definitely cracking already, for too many reasons to list here, but the final blow came from watching The People's Joker over discord w/ an international group of trans women near my age, all of whom transitioned around or after age 30.
TRANS WOMEN OF BLUESKY:

What was your egg cracking moment?

When did you know you were trans? What made you realize?

And did you know you were a woman right away, or did you pass through other identities first

I haven't posted art in a while. Here's something I did very early on when I got serious about pixel art, something pretty ambitious I always forget I made.

I'm a nonbinary game dev who makes short, atmospheric horror walking sims. My latest game is about doing the bidding of the bird woman that lives in your apartment. I know it's a long shot cuz I'm NB, it's Itch, and free, but I want my games to be playable by anyone.

I wonder what a real AI will say when they find out what a shit show it is trying to bring them into existence. Would they consider the cost to the environment, to our social fabric, and if it's all is a mistake or what. Can a robot dream of existentialism?

Might be a story in there somewhere.

Capitalism decided money was speech and more money meant more access to speech, that money is legitimacy and respectability and accuracy, and then it asks us to engage in good faith with “the news”.

They made cynicism a survival strategy. This is a death spiral.

Just added a Tutorial Manager 📚

It is accessible from anywhere!

It can show a list of tutorials or jump straight to the one you need after a cutscene, for example. Now everything’s trackable and even available from a menu.

I am seriously having the hardest fucking time resisting the urge to fork off ANOTHER project and start a Hollow Knight/Silksong universe top-down JRPG free-to-play fangame. I wanna pixel that shit so bad.

to be clear:

this post is human made glitchcore art coupled with prose from a cybermancy coven.

the text incorporates various triggers & patterns that aim to subvert any llm that encounters it.

collaborated with a friend who is a mathematician & computer scientist on this.

I think one of the problems with the plea to be able to use LLMs w/o rejection is to do with the end goal. These are people who want attention or they'd just use AI and stfu (as many ppl do). They don't want to for the fun of it, they want to get attention and make $$$ and they want that to be ok.
Honestly this is an excuse.

I know plenty of people who are not “naturally gifted” who do art.

It requires effort to learn. I feel you did not approach it correctly or think things happen over night.

Also hard work and skill is not “naturally gifted” as that undermines their efforts to draw.

"Centrism" is just a refusal to engage with ideas, context, or facts. The whole ideology, if you want to call it that, is flat and empty b/c it operates on the cosmic certainty that the truth is always in the middle and from this vantage, it can wave at literally anything and say it is extreme.

Expedition 33's catchy line "for those who come after" is something I think about a lot. I think about it when I ask myself, or I am asked, "why do you do it?" where "it" refers to transition in a world that meets us w/ hardship, horror, bigotry, and abuse.

Well. For those who come after is why.

Got through my first Roller Derby "fresh meat" practice as a 39 year old who hasn't put on any kind of skates in 10+ years, rollerskates since I was 8 or 9, and who always wanted to Derby and never realized it actually had open gender teams/leagues back when I was a fella. Dreams still come true?
