Sorry to the people I follow on here who are normal... uh... well, who are not in fandom, anyway.

I'm just a bit too ADHD to manage multiple accounts, let's be honest, but am also interested in whatever non-fandom thing I followed you for. Let's all just pretend I'm not here 😂

Baihe where they don’t wax endlessly lyrical about how both ladies are the most beautiful ladies to ever set foot on the earth…? Does it exist…? (And with an eng translation…..??)

Offers to bike to the store for me, after a full day at work, and despite the Christmas Eve crowd, to pick up 20kg of potatoes. What is that if not incredible 🥺

After a week-long flare of aggravating BS I finally woke feeling like a human this morning. I have cleaned all the things, sent emails, worked on paperwork, and read baihe. A surprisingly good day.

I really dislike it when people frame children’s books & media entirely in terms of how it will affect their development & adult life. I get that it’s important, but a lot of adults could do to remember that kids need to just exist & enjoy stuff in the moment, without any expectations or weight.

Trans kids are so goddamn brave and strong and we are letting them down as a society and we should be ashamed

As I wrote today: www.readtpa.com/p/watch-rep-...
Here’s what opponents of this care don’t want you to think too hard about: puberty is not a neutral waiting period. It permanently changes your body. For a trans girl forced to go through testosterone-driven puberty, that means developing a deeper voice, broader shoulders, more pronounced brow and jaw, and facial hair. For a trans boy forced through estrogen-driven puberty, it means breast development, wider hips, and a shorter stature. These changes are, for the most part, irreversible. Trans adults who transition later in life often spend years and thousands of dollars trying to undo what their natural puberty did to their bodies, with limited success. Puberty blockers exist precisely to press pause, to give kids and their families time to figure things out before permanent changes set in. They’ve been used for decades to treat precocious puberty in cisgender children without controversy. But when a trans kid takes the exact same medication for a slightly different reason, suddenly it’s “chemical castration” and politicians want to throw doctors in prison.

Ok Popular Science just made me cry a bit.
popsci.com Popular Science @popsci.com · 9d
The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

www.popsci.com/science/tran...
First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

“Young, dumb, and full of Christ” is both a great line and a tragic mood (of what shit was like once upon a time, ha).

In other news, #WakeUpDeadMan was entertaining. Alas, however, not especially hard to figure out the twist if you know things about things.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about
screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized text says: Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved. Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch. This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.

ngl, I assumed a different kind of roleplay was going on here rather than talking to blorbos. I mean. I am sure that happens too! But does roleplay here not include, like, chatbot serves up the ai girlfriend experience??

talking to blorbo accounts for over 50% of AI use

openrouter.ai/state-of-ai
A screenshot of a table from the study linked above, it shows that currently 52% of use is for roleplay

It’s always a good day to remember to enjoy fandom by freaking out in the thirst powered GC, not feeding the trolls, and never reading the comment sections EVER 😅

Look. This skeet is super judgemental and I know it. But it drives me crazy that the neighbour plays only music I know all the lyrics to… because they were in the Top 40 a hundred years ago when I was in junior high. Like pls bro. Please. Have you contemplated exploring some new songs?

3) The effort is the juice! The effort is the high! Mastery of a skill is an unparalleled buzz. "Having written" is nice yes, we all joke about that, but *the making is the pleasure*. Men who've never experienced that, trying to steal it because ironically *they do not know its value*, is a sin.

The most important political fault line of our time is over whether children are people or property.
ryanmarino.bsky.social Ryan Marino, MD @ryanmarino.bsky.social · 19d
This whole so-called “parents rights” movement the right has taken up and the left is supposed to kowtow to for votes is so obviously anti-child it really bothers me to see it presented as anything other than justification for abusive “parenting” and disregard for actual science on child development
