the big difference between procgen and "ai" is that procgen is straightforwardly a creative/authoring process like any other, whereas "ai" by its nature precludes both things. but even with procgen you can approach it from a cynical direction and fuck yourself

I hate this "phones" conversation regarding queer people and queer kids because the bottom line is, cishet society KNOWS. Right-wingers KNOW that the internet is how queer people connect to each other---hell, that marginalized people period use it to organize and educate.
That's why they hate it.

Over the past month, independent content hosting platform Itch.io has been systematically banning queer & NSFW content. We talked to creators about how this impacted them, and how they’re fighting back.

‘I feel violated’ - Queer Creators Lose Livelihoods in Itch.io bans
The recent Itch bans on queer and NSFW content have damaged careers and put countless people out of work. Though some are now on the verge of homelessness, they’re still organizing and fighting back. TNN delves into what’s at stake on the frontlines of the fight against anti-queer censorship.

People have suggested existing music here, but I don't think it quite gets it.
What's needed is something with simple enough words, tune, and rhythm that you can start singing it in a bar and five hundred others join them *with tears in their eyes*.
For that, we should draw from folk traditions.

The UK trans community has plenty of musicians who are angry enough, but as yet no anthemic protest song.

One of my favorite things about Bluesky (or at least my little corner of it) is that people are always sharing resources for taking action.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?
hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.
Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.
