“How can you suddenly dislike art when you find out it’s made by AI?”
For the same reason I can dislike art when I find out the employees were overworked and underpaid.
Because I care about people.
You dipshit.

Looking for YA (13yo) books and stories written by trans authors.

We have so many more headlines to celebrate over the next decade or so as we've had today with Cheney.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

Sedation dentistry is no longer weird. Phone cameras are really good. The price of solar panels has dropped by tens of thousands. Southern white rhinos, giant pandas, Arabian oryx and Stellar sea lions are no longer endangered.
And, I can testify, modern cancer treatments are fucking amazing.

Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.
I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

ICE and BP are heavily targeting people in their vehicles right now. You can’t attempt to use your rights if you don’t know what they are. Knowing them may protect you against a forced abduction, search, or seizure when being pulled over.

This picture of our cat never fails to send my wife into a hysterical laughing fit, especially because I like to just send it to her randomly. I can't wait for her to see this.
Btw, Jass was the first cat we adopted as a couple and we still have her. She's 18 years old now.
