Trans people need us. Let's show up for Austin! Last year, we helped @distributeaid.org raise $15,000 for direct trans mutual aid, funding hundreds of years of HRT supplies delivered straight to our community. Donate $20 for $400 worth of RPGs and help us do it again! itch.io/b/3971/austi...

The "is AI slavery" discourse is exactly what the tech bros want. It doesn't end with fancy autocompletes having human rights. Its logic ends with you having fewer rights. If you believe AI is sentient (it's not) & are down with enslaving it (it's not slavery), then why do human labor rights matter?

On September 30, the state of Tennessee tried to murder Pike. Instead, it put her through an hour and a half of difficulty breathing as she intermittently gasped for air and was eventually sent into critical condition, in a notoriously “botched execution” — in other words, torture.

It is never just one case gone wrong. There are always so many other survivors who were mistreated before any of these stories make it into the public eye.
"My assailant was found responsible for my sexual assault ... His punishment? He received a 'written reprimand,' was ordered to write a 'reflection paper,' and was placed on behavioral probation until he graduated two months later." Must-read by a Cornell grad: www.thecut.com/article/i-wa...

this word "nearly" is doing a lot of heavy lifting
The day that Biden grew so angry at Netanyahu that he nearly cut him off: "He was just completely fed up with everything and I think at that moment he was ready to just say, 'I’m done,'" Brett McGurk recalls as he releases "Brink," his memoir of Gaza war. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

I view those “creatives” who use AI to generate creative work with the utmost contempt. In your laziness you have denied yourself the chance to bring forth the depth of your singular human experience and share it with others. You have turned the artistic process into an assembly line Disgusting

Reading, and writing, are holy. I love reading novels because they tell me something. They say: "this is what someone believed enough to dedicate months or years of their life to say." This is just as true for the trashiest pulp as it is for the highest literature.
