There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men. Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.

This constantly gets brought up in response to AI criticism. No one objects to these applications. They object to the consumer facing dreck that's being marketed to us as groundbreaking and forced onto our devices.

This will be my last political post. I just want to say this dude on 3rd Ave in Seattle did more to combat fascism than every member of our political and media apparatuses combined.

if there is one funny thing about yesterday’s blitzkrieg of executive orders is that it makes the “democratic opposition went too far last time” crowd look like total dipshits

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

I know the feed is flooded with stories about what he's saying. As we learned last time, it can be exhausting trying to keep up with that (and wearing people down is part of strategy). To keep up with what he actually does you can check this page: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The horseshoe effect is real. Bernie, what about Black communities, im/migrants, disabled folks, women, queer and trans people? Want lists of ways that all of these populations are parts of "working families?" Want stats on eg the many ways abortion bans force/trap families into cycles poverty?

Seeing my biggest platform destroyed, then watching many younger women in SciComm have their biggest platforms destroyed is weighing on me. I’ve rebuilt here. I know they can rebuild too. Having our delicate careers subject to billionaire whims has me wishing for a stability I don’t think exists.

Some Dems have this visceral urge to respond to batshit GOP ideas with "Of course I'll consider that!" They think it makes them sound reasonable. But it actually just makes MAGA sound reasonable. It's a strategic self own. Don't overthink this. Call out stupid shit and say no. It's not that hard.

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

Bringing it to 🦋 by request: People hate their own art because it looks like they made it. They think if they get better, it will stop looking like they made it. A better person made it. But there's no level of skill beyond which you stop being you. You hate the most valuable thing about your art.

Considering I got two notifications over the week from SVA and SCAD about Generative AI training workshops for faculty (these are both art colleges, mind you), I'm existentially tired of everything and everybody who says this is "inevitable" when inevitable is shorthand to mean "comply in advance".

Aside from being a sick and easy way to ambush vulnerable people, these tactics have always been about punishing immigrants for existing in public space, and forcing people to choose between the basic necessities of survival and deportation.
