Fun fact to remember: the actual Luddites weren’t ignorant. They weren’t against all technology. They were skilled craftspeople - expert weavers - who recognized the machine looms as a lower-quality output than what they could make, and who rebelled against their replacement with soulless slop.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

The central delusion of pundits who desperately try to guilt people into coming back to Twitter: they genuinely seem to think we all secretly MISS Twitter and are merely hanging out over here out of a drab, self-flagellating sense of moral superiority no, we're here because Twitter sucks shit now

Just got this update from Kobo which says it's going to use AI to read my works to "enhance" discoverability and marketing, and determine the "suitability" of the works and "adherence to Kobo’s Terms of Service" among other things. Which is why I'm immediately pulling my books from Kobo.

This no-kill animal shelter is in desperate need of kitten food, kitten milk replacement, and other supplies. If you post a screenshot in my replies showing that you donated at least $10 (even as a Chewy gift card), I'll answer a style-related question for you. Donation info in their thread.

I hate these people, and I know someone is going to say that we should be trying to reach them, but I am sick of playing along with their bullshit. They knew, they didn't care until it impacted their community.

I know it doesn't stop them from being exhausting but please know the reason there's a relentless stream of thinkpieces from centrists or right-leaning dems going DITCH THE TRANSES is because the public opinion as a whole is "just leave them alone, jesus" and they fucking hate that

I'm encouraged by how many of my cis mutuals are talking about this, but it's still a tiny TINY proportion of y'all, even on this site that skews towards trans supportive folks. please keep yelling (and yell even more!) bc other cis people will listen to you way more than to us.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

I’ll never get over how, in an era when women’s rights and status are being attacked and eroded in law and culture alike, we were incessantly told that it was boys and men whose suffering we needed to attend to.

While I'm on the general subject of "AI," let me just say that it's a real dickheaded maneuver to tell an actual artist that their work "looks like AI." Their work doesn't look like "AI" because they're aping what "AI" does; it looks like "AI" because the "AI" company fucking stole from them.

Everyone seems very worried about "Gosh, well what do we tell the transphobic people to get them to vote for Democrats?" Tell them to get the fuck over it. Tell them, straight to their faces, "I feel embarrassed for you that this is a thing you are whining about."
