Weird how The Free Press was able to publish all of these without comment from the Washigton University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital.

Now that there are a TON of starter packs it's harder to gain traction on them, but the best way to get folks to use it is specificity!
For this pack I was selective based on:
✔️ Full-Time Working Artist
✔️ Original Artwork (mostly)
✔️ Designs Merchandise
✔️ Critters/Creatures/Cute/Kawaii

I built a starter pack of artists that design merchandise for a living who primarily focus on their own original art and concepts 💙🙌

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

I noticed a change in the last few weeks in how the NYT describes gender affirming care. They now use the term "gender related care" in their coverage. This term had only been used sparingly (4 times) prior to this year. Now it's becoming ubiquitous in standard coverage.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Sara is a nurse who has been working in Nasser Hospital. She has three children Muhammad, 6, Ziad, 5 and Ammer who is just 11 months. Muhammad and Ammer both need medical care outside of Gaza and she is looking for someone to help with that.

Just a thing about this: a common statement in writing is that you can fix crap, but you can't fix a blank page.
I have heard AI apologists claim that this is why it's fine to generate a first draft.
Now, to be clear, fuck this.
But also: an AI draft is a fucking blank page.

I know I don’t talk about writing much. It is because I am writing so slowly.
But I want you to know that I am taking a part of this story that absolutely sucked and took me months to produce four of the worst chapters I have ever written and in the edit I figured out how to fix it.

AI falsely labelled him a sex offender.
This is why we say don’t use AI.
It hallucinates. It gets things wrong. It destroys the environment.
Yet people are relying on it for medical advice, legal advice and more.
It’s dangerous. Stop using it.

This was entirely about purging a trans instructor from the school and they succeeded. It was aided by a lot of dumb liberals taking it at face value arguing the minutia of grading rubrics while ignoring the obvious bad faith efforts behind this.
