How I arrived on Bluesky

Yay!

Chiitan loves transgender people 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Even a plain statement like this now brings slander and insults, but I think a society where people can live happily as themselves matters more than silence, so I will keep saying it until the account is gone. love everyone🤍

why are you trans? wrong answers only Many millions of years ago, on the planet Cybertron, life existed, but not life as we know it today. Intelligent robots that could think and feel inhabited the cities. They were called Autobots and Decepticons, but the brutal Decepticons were driven by a...

If attendance at a major women's conference was down 80% due to a boycott fighting against trans *inclusion*, it would be all over the Times, Telegraph, Mail etc. This last weekend, attendance at a major women's conference was down 80% due to a boycott fighting against trans *exclusion*. Crickets.

Admittedly there are potential risks in the rapid development of Dalek tech: extermination, loss of civilisation, possible destruction of all human life. But we must consider potential benefits in productivity, medicine, scientific discovery. And even if we DO slow down, other countries might not...

A brief tutorial on how to do this effect in Blender. First, animate and render a regular beauty pass, but do so by leaving the ship static and animating the camera (actually how most physical model shots are done). Then, turn off all sun lights and such, and give the ship a nice blue fill...

What is consciousness? What is sentience? These are philosophical question that have been asked since the dawn of time. How lucky we are to live in a time where 7 people in Northern California realised the answer is “being able to predict the most statistically significant next word in a sentence”

Artists: never, ever restrain your vision for fear of being too over-the-top or exaggerated. Look at our actual, real world. Thousands of traumas more painful than you could ever write and thousands of joys more pure than most can imagine both happened today, to real people. Make bold art.

Seems like the American Northeast is the closest to my Hampshire (south England) accent, which makes some amount of sense. I had no idea that some of you had a word for 'the night before Halloween'.

Oh my god… an artist on tumblr made a fancomic about an adult trans woman Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes… who still talks to Hobbes…and it’s in the style of Watterson’s art… revolutionary… mind blowing… perfection…

The Dank

I came first in the Clacton by-election! Of the candidates who bothered to turn up for the results. Here is my victory speech!

There is no good use of generative AI because the technology was built on theft of creative labor. If that position surprises you from an artist whose life's work was scraped and used without permission to train trillion dollar technology, educate yourself. www.michaelwhelan.com/faq/#digital...

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you. Hi, I'm Appendix.

“There’s a plot to humiliate me!” says Farage as he carefully lays a rake at his feet and then proceeds to step on it repeatedly

Remember that folks in the UK can’t speak their honest feelings because she can (and does) immediately use her country’s legal system surrounding defamation to threaten them into silence, so we have to be twice as vocal for them: JK Rowling’s a hateful, bigoted, and transphobic disgrace to society.

Sometimes I see people bemoaning the UK and talking about how they are going to leave, and you're not wrong that it's really fucking bad but some of us can't leave. Some of us won't. This isn't cursed land; we can steward it better.

I did incredibly well in my A levels. And got a doctorate and a bunch of publications and all sorts of clever shit. Sadly, I had principles so fucked that all when I was still perceived as cis and now I'm an unemployable disabled tranny. Take what vengeance you can when you can. Fuck exams.

As always, read Le Guin

My, what's that? Looks like rain. #eclipse

And so, it begins

This one's a little personal! Not just because it tepresented at the time a step up in my craft, but also because I've recorded my dulcet tones for you and I'm not the biggest fan of my voice. If you like it, please reskeet as well as dropping a like! It's the only way art can spread on bsky.

Solar eclipse coming up so here’s one of my favourite maps

Sure, i disagree with the author of the Torment Nexus, who uses her fortune to feed the Torment Nexus with children, but the Torment Nexus is part of my national culture, and i will gladly join the cast of the Torment Nexus reboot, and sure, more children will be fed to it, but note that i strongly-

Help settle an argument about why they carve crosses in the bottom of Brussels Sprouts. My mum says it’s so they cook more evenly, I say it’s because they’re undead and it’s the only way to stop them coming back and eating your brains. My brother claims it’s so they expand on impact for a kill shot
