It's not a goddamn hallucination. It can't hallucinate. It doesn't have a brain! LLMs simply get things wrong.

Using this sort of language seems designed to intentionally obfuscate that It's a flat-out error and simultaneously mis-attributes sentience to a computer programme.

cis women were bad at being women once too they just got to be bad when they were 12 and you have to do it when you're 26

Kafka on the Shore. It opened my eyes up to the absolute whimsy, wonder & weirdness in which fiction can luxuriate.

It's also one of the first novels I ever read to feature a trans character, and whilst the handling was less than stellar, it was really exciting for me at a time where...
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

The problem with “it’s not a choice” as the core of a defense, whether of being transgender or simply being fat, is the frequency of an implicit underlying “because nobody would ever want to be like this,” which is simply not true in either case.

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.

They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

So my husband suggested we start watching Celebrity Traitors on Saturday. We've binged through it and just watched the final.

Hats off to all the players, and (no spoilers) but the two traitors are two of my favourite reality TV contestants in FOREVER!!!! #TheTraitors

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading.

From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.
Democrats are currently ahead in 63 (!!!) races in the Virginia House of Delegates.

If this holds, it would be one of the largest state legislature swings in the last 4 years.

Its an absolute bloodbath for anti-trans Republicans.

Oh my god this, so much!!!!

I am so sick of talking to someone with a full face of make-up, long hair, visible cleavage and being they/them-ed (whilst my trans husband who passes get he/him-ed) 🙄
if someone has their hair done and a full face on and EE tits and a crop top skirt and heels i promise it’s ok to call them her even if she’s 6’. and if they’re a nonbinary femme now you know too

can’t count the amount of times my endo tried to slow roll me out of clotting “concern.” so many trans women made go without e for weeks before and after surgery for the same reason even though it’s exceptionally unhealthy esp for those who’ve had orchis or bottom surgery

Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.

For the whole time I have done drag, it has never been anything more than "on the side" of a full-time job. I got fewer opportunities because of working around a full-time schedule, but ultimately, the only person I knew who made a full-time career from drag had financial support from their family.
When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"

The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

Went down a rabbit hole learning about the term 'transgender cissexual', and honestly, the trans discourse has gotten far too granular imo.

It's at a point where (again, imo) our desire to linguistically explain every fact of our being/desires descends into navel-gazing and isn't really helpful.

This entire thread is fascinating. Truly fascinating stuff.
A writer tried dating alt-right men as an experiment to learn about them. There is so much going on here I don't even know where to start

This whole Mamdani 'aunt' situation is so ridiculous. I'm a white woman from Scotland, and one of the women I call 'aunt' is of no blood relation to me, but has been my mum's best friend since before I could talk.

People wouldn't write articles about this, but they will when it's an Indian man?

I just had my first session of VTM as Storyteller, and holy shit, that was a ton of fun!

After years of practice, I've been turning my player brain into a storyteller brain, and my gosh, it's a big adjustment. Very rewarding though!
