I feel this. But then I felt it all over again when redesigning femme megaman... How do I make her obviously feminine and in-line with what I think is fun but also not aligned necessarily to patriarchal beauty standards. (And also in ways that function in a SNES cart mod.)

I want to pass as woman, but a lot of that is performative that doesn't necessarily relate to femininity. #transmemes

these pointless chatbots are what journals are literally spending our tax money on because these publishers are leeches off the public purse and then fence off academic outputs into weird systems also Maxwell / Epstein money

theguardian.comIs the staggeringly profitable business of scientific publishing bad for science?The long read: It is an industry like no other, with profit margins to rival Google – and it was created by one of Britain’s most notorious tycoons: Robert Maxwell

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

erininthemorning.comDon’t Vote For The Worst Anti-Trans DemocratsThe Democratic Party should, and likely will, win big in the midterms. We must not send the worst anti-trans voices to join them.

Honestly I've found it easy not to start in the first place for generative AI and smoking. But I am privileged.

this why I believe abstinence is the only real way, but I know it's hard we have been here before with smoking, where the best thing is never to start & the second best is to stop as soon as you can — and it doesn't matter if one cig a day is "not that bad" if you can go down to one go down to nil

Yesterday, Josh Turek released one of the worst anti-transgender ads to come from a Democrat this election cycle. It called for a federal funding ban on gender affirming care, which would impact countless trans Americans. Here is our article on the ad you have all undoubtedly seen by now.

As I start contemplating pixel art, tile maps, shaders, and palettes – I have the realisation that I might have almost failed undergraduate algorithms, but I learned a lot of stuff that I can still apply today!

These anti-trans Dems are saying "biological males" should be banned from girls sports because they know exactly how bad it sounds if they say "transgender girls" should be banned from girls sports. They're using "biological males" framing as a sort of self-justification and self-soothing.

I bought a sleeveless jacket (I did not know this was a thing) and now I feel very professional and like myself. Professional jackets in general have never felt comfortable, and most women's cuts are tight in the sleeves. Problems solved! Bonus I can show off my tattoo.

There are people, even some trans people, who think that we can give up sports to appease bigots. That if we give up on sports, this all goes away. That is a lie. I have reported on this for years, and EVERY state that passed a sports ban as a moderate compromise has gone on to pass worse.

Stop being so credulous and believing a damn thing the professional liars at Anthropic say. “Claude mythos” did not do a damn thing. Someone running Claude Mythos, a process they control, on machines that they control, negligently set their tools loose in public.

The whole weight of the UK government is trying to crush trans people like me and I’m just here trying to raise my daughter. She loves the moon, she gets so excited whenever she sees it in the sky so I decided to give her a closeup and show her some astronomy.

maybe we should start calling the sloppers what they really are. plagiarists

see I've tried using AI for coding I'd like to think I'm special and immune to AI addiction, but the reality is probably just that I'm incapable of feeling any kind of attachment or pride in AI generated code I feel like it pollutes the project and displaces my own motivation, I just don't want it

On the same week the DCCC released its first anti-transgender ad, popular Democratic politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did not mince words. When asked about anti-trans Democrats, she called them "shameful," "wrong," and decried them for "scaring so easily." Subscribe to support our journalism.
