"Odysseus" as a name existed prior because he's mentioned in the Iliad, which chronologically is before the Odyssey.

Bluesky fucking sucks, there's no algorithm to be discovered by new people. Anyone who has followers here just imported them from other social media sites.

Pigeon update:

I have two pigeons now, the grey one is named Felix. I found him with an injured droopy left wing. I got it bandaged by a vet but it never healed properly so he's unreleasable.

Then, he found love with my Mallory. :) #PigeonSky

You hate AI art because it infringes on copyright.

I hate AI art because it's souless polluting slop.

We are not the same.

No idea where that link came from but whatever.

As a programmer, generative AI is cool when it comes to getting it to write boilerplate code

However, one of my issues is how these companies who've built these models often don't respect the website's robot.txt, that's just unethical.

Remembering when last year I told my doctor I stopped presenting male and live full time as myself and he said he wished he could frame a portrait of me in his office as a success story. :)

This is what I mean about being LGBT+ not intrinsically making someone "Queer". A lot of hetero-attracted trans women for instance are just as bought into the regime of heterosexuality as any cis woman, predicating your womanhood on male desirability. Its almost indistinguishable from trans women.

finding out a "guy" who likes u is repressing gender dysphoria is one of the worst feelings imaginable as a trans woman
you wouldn't get it because judging by ur pfp there's a nonzero chance you're that guy

It's so strange how she calls it "pain" like it isn't all right to transition if you're dating a trans person. x.com/espressobaddie…

Ok but like I'm a trans woman and I also don't get how that's a "worst feeling imaginable"

@checkria
- erases the validation of a guy being into me
- makes me feel like my being trans has something to do with the attraction
- makes me feel clocky
- expectations of transition mentorship are often attached to it

This is just schizophrenia and I'm tired of people telling me it isn't.

Ah okay, makes sense :)
