A message for trans folks in the US:
Please start using encrypted comms where you can and VPNs when you can't, especially when talking about trans stuff. The worse things get here, the more important our privacy becomes. If it comes to hiding and escaping from the government, untraceable and encrypted comms will be essential.

We can't rely on the majority of big tech to not sell us out to save themselves.

What do you need in your writing space to help you stay focused?

I just need my Alphasmart (or these days, my Neo by Alphasmart) or a note pad (DinA5, dotted). ☺️

Plus a cup of tea and character portraits (if I created them).

After some time since playing Starfield I've reflected a bit on the game.

Frankly, it's impressive how mediocre the game was after how much time and money was put into it.

You have to work to make a game that bland and uninteresting.

The choice in November is dichotomous:
Accelerate Netanyahu's genocide or not
Creating a domestic genocide of trans folks or not
Loss of free elections or not
Loss of access to abortion or not

Biden sucks but his party is whats stopping a national ban on abortion and trans care. Trump explicitly said he'd support Netanyahu and provide more weapons and money. Abortion federally will go the same way it has in red states regardless of what Johnson says. All votes cast or not matter.

If the thing you specifically care about is not on that list, keep in mind, it's not comprehensive. There is no scenario in which Trump is a better choice for anything progressive. A GOP super majority would catapult us into autocracy and fascism. They are solely motivated by punishing their perceived enemies. The first people they'll go after are queer folk and people of color. This is too important to fuck around with.

School talk:

I get to pick from 12 Essays for an English assignment. At first I was worried they’d all be boring and outdated. Nope!

I just want to say how happy I was to see disabled people represented! Yes, I’ll be writing about internalized ableism for my second assignment… buckle up Prof, it’s going to be a fun ride lol

Also represented in the selection of Essays: Indigenous writers, Queer writers, and Black writers.

Progress. 🤘🏻

Mechanical keyboard key cap recommendations please :)

I’m looking primarily for a set that is very readable, in the blue/black/white/grey/beige colour palette and double shot PBT. No RGB shine through needed.

Thanks! ☺️

Universal basic income mitigates tunneling, meaning that people are more able to think beyond just one focus. The need to earn survival income tends to function like blinders that block out everything else but your focus on basic needs. Until they're obtained, we can't think beyond.

May 13: When does AI cross the line between helpful tool and problematic tech for writing and publishing?

I am an active luddite and do what I can to sabotage AI.

When does it cross the line?

  1. When steals training material.
  2. When it plagiarizes or mimics others.
  3. When they utilize immoral terms of service. i.e looting social media that have implemented "legalized theft."
  4. When it attempts to substitute itself for real individuals.
  5. When it attempts to pass itself off as human output.
  6. When it attempts to imply it is "intelligence."

In other words, everything that currently labels itself as AI. "Deep Learning" tools could be acceptable but not as they are currently implemented and run.

Oh forgot when it uses "sweatshop" labor.

AI crossing the line

It never crosses the line.

Humans using it cross the line.

If it tells the writer a sentence is wrong, that’s fine. If the writer substitutes the sentence AI provides, that’s the line crossed.

And that's just the little stuff.

I shouldn’t have to explain this.

Just remember, when you say you won't vote for Joe Biden, nothing bad happens to Joe Biden. He retires, goes home to his family, and lives his life in peace.

What happens to your Muslim/Hindu/Sikh/Jain/Buddhist/Wiccan/Pagan neighbours? They're fucked. What happens to your LGBTQ friends? They're fucked too. What happens to poor people? The disabled? The elderly? Babies? Kids? BIPOC folks? Women?

What do you care? If you cared, you would've voted for Joe!

Democrats are on pace to lose the election this year because Netanyahu decided to start a war. Clearly the US is responsible for what Israel does, and that's a great reason to all but give Donald Trump the authoritarian regime of his dreams.

Let's usher in the trans genocide in the US over a war in the middle east! I'm sure the great utopia of the workers will rise from blatant christo-fascist authoritarianism. And screw all the people who'll die in the process, amiright?!

For real, I haven't felt this urge to create stuff in a long, long, LONG time. (The last time I can remember sincerely wanting to make stuff was about a decade ago.) I was afraid the fire was gone and was never coming back. And the fear was taking its toll on me. The longer it stayed away, the worse my self image got

But here it is again! I couldn't be more thankful to have it back 😊 Here's hoping it's not just a fleeting feeling

I don't know if it's cutting out alcohol or improving my health or what, but something made my ambition come back. I guess I don't need to know exactly what caused it - I just have to keep walking the same path
