Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

this is also one of the best ways i've seen "women and nonbinary" turned from an awkward grouping into an inclusive statement, they made it clear that trans girls are welcome and that nonbinary includes any nonbinary kids who are comfortable in girl-centered spaces. 👏👏

The Girl Guides of Canada say: Be prepared to protect trans rights.
Hey Facebook, post from the girl guide of Canada that reads: Inclusion makes Girl Guides of Canada stronger. It ensures that girls and youth have a place to build confidence, develop the skills to thrive and connect with a community that sees them for who they truly are. Girl Guides of Canada welcomes all girls – cisgender and transgender – as well as non-binary people who are comfortable in spaces that focus on and are driven by the experience of girls. Learn more about our commitment to inclusivity and accessibility at girlguides.ca/inclusivity The Girl Guides of Canada on dark blue symbol with the trans flag at the bottom.

Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

Welp, there it is, birthday. Really snuck up on me...

-ahem-

*spy tf2 voice*

27 years. For some men, a fine age to die. But we are not some men. We are *transgender!*
We have the will, the determination, to make that life count!
Our lives have only just begun, friends. The clock is ticking. <3

Feels like this is probably the ideal year to stop even hate-watching and live-posting the game awards. I feel like we can exercise that amount of restraint and self-love, yeah?

hhh, birthday is closing in fast.
I've got none of the projects in the works ready to show for it-

More, it's acutely reminding me of all the plans from last birthday that got shelved that have been sitting still since.

...I'm trying my *hardest* to keep up with things these days.

I'll get there.

A relevant gift for all your holiday needs~
A dog girl furry with white fur stands holding out a piece of paper to the viewer. She has shoulder length pink hair with bangs, a spiked collar, a pink flannel, a spiked bracelet on the left wrist, and teal jean shorts. She says, "You dropped this, champ," as she hands over the paper. The paper says "You don't gotta go, bitch." In the background, text reads- "Works for: Any Reason. Works On: Transphobic family, homophobic family, racist family, republican-ass, religious ass, bigot family. Whatever. Fuck em!"

Hey, if you're a queer and/or trans person and you want some petty revenge at the gathering of shitty right-wing family members: love yourself.

If you love yourself, you can cause them WAY more discomfort than they cause you. Use your power for evil. Be the supervillain who ruined Thanksgiving >:3

If we're talking turkeys, this one is my favourite.
The turkey being taken out of a freezer to defrost meme with a change in text I don't know who needs to hear this even if it was your fault you can't dwell on your past mistakes forever. You have to move on and strive to be the person you want to be, not the person that you used to be.

Some advice from a couple of years ago that I still think most creative people need to hear --
Don't put down your own work. Plenty of people want to devalue you and the things you Make. Don't help them do it.

God, I hope this is true
Tumblr post by user novelconcepts: “Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important. You're gonna make stuff again. You're gonna make stuff you're proud of. You're gonna make stuff you're excited to share. You're going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic I want to want to you're stuck in now. You're going to have awesome ideas, and you're going to make them into reality. You're going to create again. You're still an artist. You're still a writer. You're still home to the same passion you had before. You'll find it again. It's not gone. It's just resting. Let it rest. You're going to make stuff again. I promise.”

don't forget 🤖🚫
a stylized illustration with the text "generative AI was never ethical". The piece features a black cat pulling cables out of the back of a robot. The robot has a conveyor belt attached to it that is pulling in packages that read "stolen art, stolen writing, stolen voices, stolen videos, stolen likeness, stolen photos, stolen books, stolen code, and stolen ideas." The piece is a reminder that generative ai was built on the backs of real artists, photographers, writers, and everyone else's creative expressions as humans in order to churn out slop to feed back to us.
