It's incredibly funny how LLMs lean into the trans-coded names. Nonbinary characters are almost always named Zephyr or Kai. Transfems get a lot of Lilys. LLMs bring out the latent patterns in our language and the patterns with trans names are really laid bare lmao

Based on the this upgrade, the more you donate, the better the visualizations get. Donate to Liberal Currents maybe we can get a cool interactive visualization on the website. Maybe
Our matching donor sending us $35k as a wire transfer was great for avoiding transaction fees but less great for our progress meter on GoFundMe reflecting reality. Here's the current situation gofund.me/fb504af5f

The new Heretic method of abliteration for LLMs is crazy, and another point for the "the cat is out of the bag" argument. You can now, if you have the hardware (or hell, you can rent the hardware for cheap!), take a "safe" open-weight LLM and easily decensor it.

We’ve received almost $90,000 on GoFundMe. Through direct donations and new patron signups last week, we received close to $39,000. Between the two we’ve reached 26% of our goal. Let’s keep the momentum going and reach 33% by midweek! gofund.me/259eba2d6

At present, nearly 100% of our funding goes straight to our writers.
But in 2025, that isn’t enough.

Eat to Love is really good so far for the Buddhists out there who also want a better path for approaching food than diet culture. It goes through the paramitas and discusses how to apply them to a liberating approach to eating.

Putting it out there again: If you’re a mutual & want to hear about my more personal life and problems, I have a side account for that. I actually publish a few short pieces every now and then under that pseudonymous account, if you really like my writing too. Just DM or reply to this and I’ll link.

As I keep saying, the liberal left should be less defensive about the culture war. You're goddamn right we started the war, it's a holy war against millennia of oppression and we damn well mean to finish the job
The only major faction which does not believe it is the far right, which understands itself to be in a cultural battle for hearts and minds which is only glancingly correlated with economic anything. It’s worked out wonderfully for them

i like how the one example we have of mass scale homeschooling was the pandemic and it was a complete disaster that burnt out every parent on earth and resulted in half a generation being socially and intellectually stunted forever

If you want a sense of the kind of things Liberal Currents is willing to publish under its banner of liberalism, read my magnum opus that debunks the entire 'sex based rights' scam, where I reframe that idea as a battering ram being used against the very *idea* of human rights.

Deep Sophia Lore: I once ran a small survey of an otherkin community. That was fun.
It took like three months from idea to finish, and double-digit hours of data processing. But it's probably the survey I've run that's the most polished and pretty and professional looking at the end, and I've run quite a few for different communities!
