Cover reveal! Elysium’s destruction looms; its greatest pilot Persephone is being eaten from within. She stands to become either a god—or a monster. Our mecha Greek myth retelling continues. More cannibalism, more lesbianism!

Itch: mariaying.itch.io/the-persepho...
Amz: www.amazon.com/dp/B0FGXHSNHN

A woman with long white hair covers one eye with her gloved hand; her other eye is glowing and red with a crosshair-shaped pupil; streaks of blood run down her face. She wears a black pilot’s suit with gold accents against a yellow and black background.

Book title: The Persephone Effect.

After the death of her friend, independent detective Isadora tries to meet the demands of every powerful person in the city: don't ask questions. Unfortunately, her nature and fate have other plans.

A trans lesbian retelling of a classic crime noir.

The first time I laid eyes on Akakios, child of Diodotos, xe was drunkenly trying to start a high-end turbobike outside the Draped Vine. Xe had a young-looking face, but xer hair was bone white and xer slight yet toned arms were covered in fading scars. I could tell by xer eyes that xe was wasted, but otherwise xe looked like every hard-working sailor I drank with in those days; it was a strange sight for a high-end establishment like the Vine.

Behind the sailor was a girl. Her hair and dress were a deep red—like blood oozing from a wound—and her disinterested smirk marked her as the kind of woman I would have let walk all over me. Her skin was nearly as pale as Akakios' hair. The elegance of that woman almost outmatched the elegance of the bike. Not quite.

A rather annoyed parking attendant stood next to the bike, one hand holding it steady as xe struggled with the controls. The man was the usual half-tough character in ostentatious white garb, with the name of the bar displayed on his crisp suit in dark purple. He was at the end of his rope.

"Look," he said, his voice as sharp as a knife, "you've got to move the bike. I can even turn it on for you if it gets you out of here faster." He reached for the controls but yelped when Akakios slapped his hand away.

the Mizuki Coefficient. 0.0 mizu indicates that the character in question is not a tgirl and nobody believes them to be one. ~0.25 is just the tgirls see it. ~0.5 is that queer/trans ppl as a whole see it but the straights dont. ~0.75 is that everyone except the straight guys see it. ~0.95 is that shes basically canon but it hasnt been told to the viewer directly yet. ~1.0 is that she is confirmed and the transness is relevant to her character

If you hate other women I kinda think you don't *get* lesbianism. Like, you might *sleep* with other women, sure, but if you *hate* other women as a class while doing that, you're at best practicing the form without understanding the mysteries.

And the mysteries are kinda key!

These Supreme Court oral arguments on conversion therapy are going to be painful. No matter what is said, know that trying to force someone to be what they're not is psychological torture with measurable negative consequences, and anyone trying to defend such efforts is a bigoted monster.

Most trans women I know who are non binary are very "only in trusted spaces" about it and there's enormous reasons for that.

computer scientists need to take philosophy classes. or they need better humanities teachers if they already are.

humans are not, in fact, "advanced language output algorithims". that is not what we are. it is factually untrue. scientifically, ontologically, philisophically, whatever. untrue.

Shrikant Joshi @shrikant.bsky.social · 3d

That's a very dismissive construct of LLMs, IMHO. Yes they are stochastic and yes they are 'robotic' but here's a sentence for you to ponder:

Humans are just advanced language output algorithms that spit out returns based on input and their reference library.
