Bluesky search isn't broken, the devs are just overloading the system trying to find posts that they can use to ban random trans women

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

This is nazi shit, if you don't care about consent in this case, you won't care about illegal human trials or straight up killing someone to cut out their brains "for research purposes". Shame.

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors
- 1700 of them
- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals

This is a HUGE breach.

hey @heatherosborn.bsky.social I am preserving these from twitter because once again OCR came up somewhere and I was like "wait, you have to hear the story of Ben and his anus..."

Tweet 1: REASONS SCANNED BOOKS MUST BE COPYEDITED PRIOR TO DIGITAL RELEASE #1: "the startled newcomer entered the room, and fell into Ben's anus."

Tweet 2: "He pulled her into his anus & held her till she calmed, continuing to assure her she was safe." I WOULD NOT FEEL SAFE THERE. #scanningerror

Tweet 3: Scanning error of the day: "He got up to sit beside her and put his anus around her, and he held her tight for a moment." #NeverGetsOld

I'm just not that interested in linear narratives in games. Oh, it tells a story? What do I do when it's finished telling it?

I like games with endless stories. I like games that tell a different story every time you play. I like games that make you divine the story from the seething mass of ASCII.

"'The more we try to understand what's going on in the world around us—the more we don't just withdraw into a hermitude of my family and I as a nuclear unit, the more we try to understand our society—I think the more these kinds of games speak to us,' Short said."

Founder of Dwarf Fortress and Caves of Qud publisher Kitfox Games says its procgen sims for sickos are 'giving storytelling tools back to the people when games and passive media took them away'

Streets of Fortuna, Kitfox's own in-development "megasim," is chasing that same systems-driven storytelling.

Medical institutions treat trans people as a population to surveil, manage, and dissect, rather than as people to assist or treat with basic dignity.

This website would genuinely be so much better if there was a special Discover tab for Americans that only show them posts by other Americans so the rest of us stop getting aggro from their most brain fried centrists who seem genuinely bewildered by context and angry that other places exist

not to pile on but if as a journo you were called a mean name by the right one time and it stuck with you so much that you put it in your bio, you lack the capacity to imagine what it has been like as a trans person subjected to a world influenced by journalism
