Ruby Central said some really concerning things today. I don’t think they’re representing the situation accurately. andre.arko.net/2025/10/09/t...

The RubyGems “security incident”

been listening to [Spaces by Yosi Horikawa](listenbrainz.org/album/41ce98...), and wow is it fun to listen to on a nice pair of headphones. particularly the first track, "Timbres" is just... fun. the kind of music that you want to roll around in your mouth feel crunch beneath your teeth.

what every woman wants to hear:

"We could make it together," Arwin said. "You could do more than just watch or help me swing a hammer. It could help both of us. Sure, it's a bit creepy, but-"

"Say no more," Lillia said with a delighted grin. "I'm in. Let's make an abomination of nature."

Okay, it's time. I have a prized Cult of the dead cow Zippo lighter. These simply do not exist anywhere. But a CDC member is hurting and I want to encourage donations to the GoFundMe, so out it goes. Details in thread.

there's a fascinating * phenomenon of like retrocons/anachronism too where previous/other types of ml are being included as in criticism leveled at llms as if they're exactly the same thing and it's just... weird.

What’s lost in this conversation is that language must always escape containment, so your playful little “clanker” slur is now being directed at people with bionic limbs.

Harmless fun, right? www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8AjSabH/

anyways I'm not a fan of llms (and I think a lot of the ways ppl use them is suuuper gross, and also u should just pay artists), but i do hate when ppl talk past each other like this :-/

this whole argument reads as one side going "the zeal & comfort w/ which you say 'knife-ears' is unearving to me", the other side going "elves aren't real so 'knife-ears' isn't a slur", mostly ignoring the others' argument and then...

Basically everything about sex would be better if I was a body-stealing witch instead of just relying on mirror-touch synesthesia and fucking with my body map.

I can be trusted with direct read/write access to your sensory inputs, is what I'm saying. Let me taste your nerve impulses, it'l be fine,,

it's always such a joy to be reading a book and suddenly casually lesbiabs.

like, I know that sounds silly, but I'm so used to having to explicitly seek out queer fiction to find lesbiabs that it's nice to just have them appear in non-explicitly-queer fiction

An individual with green and red heterochromia and a large hat gazes down at the viewer with a vaguely threatening aura. The ends of their hair have bells on them, and they wear a cloak with a loose scarf. They have matching red strips along the sides of their face where they hide their other eyes.

A viera (rabbit person) from Final Fantasy 14 grins at something off canvas. Their hair is pulled into a half down half up style and they wear a bikini top and a Hawaiian shirt. They also have a heart on their cheek.
