1. Yesterday, the press gave Gavin Newsom favorable coverage for signing pro-LGBTQ+ bills.

Little noticed, however, was that he vetoed one of the most important ones: a bill allowing trans people 12 month HRT stockpiles, protecting them from federal threats.

Gavin Newsom Vetoes Important HRT Stockpiling Bill For Trans Californians, Signs Other Pro-LGBTQ+ Bills

The bill would have allowed transgender people to maintain a safe supply of medication in the era of government crackdowns on care.

Hey loves 💗

I'm struggling financially atm and I really need some help. If you have the time, please read this 🧵.

About Sin 💗
Hi loves 💕

I'm going through some financial difficulties at the moment, but I'm really bad at advertising my platforms, especially while I'm still working on my recovery and I generally prefer to work for my income than accept donations. (I absolutely don't judge anyone who does—I just struggle to do that myself.)

That said, if you have the means and would like to support me financially, there are various ways to do so and I'd be incredibly grateful, especially right now. I'm trying to improve my photography and recording equipment as well as create a soundproofed space to record in, and I just can't afford these things on my own.

Monthly subs— 🔥 Patreon | 💙 Fansly

Check out my current promotions on Fansly!
My creative work is my only means of supporting myself, and I do this work full-time. Financial support helps me improve the quality of my work for you, both in terms of my equipment as well as just ensuring I can pay my bills.

The reality is that if I can't make this work in the long-term, I will have to stop focusing all my energy on creating and look for alternative means of earning an income. So, if you enjoy my work and want me to keep sharing it with you, financial support will help me continue doing that. ❤️

Please know that if you can only offer small donations from time to time, you're welcome to do so and I'm extremely grateful.

What if the implant is just making shit up based on random signals, because turning brain signals into useful information is a level of understanding I doubt we have.

Hi hello did you know that Elon Musk's third Neuralink patient (previously nonverbal) is "getting help from Grok" to communicate

and I hope -- I REALLY HOPE -- he's not stuck in his own brain listening as a robot talks for him without his input because this, to me, would be worse than death

This patient’s Neuralink brain implant gets a boost from generative AI

A patient who types with his brain thanks to a Neuralink implant is using AI chatbots to speed things up.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Transsexualism is bourgeois, which is why most of the Western girls I know are crowdfunding their healthcare costs to get it overseas

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.
