why am I a radical for saying that people who don't want kids shouldn't have to have them? and should be able to make any desired modifications to their bodies to prevent unwanted kids?

There's always this insistence that people need to "learn how to use AI so they aren't left behind" and as an artist and an author, I don't know what there is to learn from models that were.... trained on my work.

Finished a couple of new pendants today. Almost all of my jewelry glass is sourced from doing community clean up walks in my town. Cut and ground to shap. Tumbled for 7 days and hand inked. ko-fi.com/s/076a1b16f5

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

Absolutely fucking revolting behaviour by the person who wrote the book. Makes me want to puke. I know there's a lot of petitions out there right now, but if removing this book helps even a few kids not get BLEACH FUCKING ENEMAS then something good will happen. Please sign.

Paris, spring, 1995, in the market, had the single best tuna sandwich of my life. Not what I was expecting but it was absolute perfection. Never managed a sandwich quite that good since.

your support for marginalized people must be rooted in principle if it is rooted in relationships, as most "support" is, it disintegrates as soon as a marginalized person acts in a way you disapprove of that isn't support, it's a "reward" for good behavior by an oppressor

People think support magically appears when you become disabled. Social supports are inadequate if you even qualify. Family & friends abandon you if you don’t “get better”. Many of us end up trapped in abusive relationships because we’re easy targets. Better supports would provide independence.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

The frostiest of takes, I know, but your job having the potential to be fun doesn't mean you don't deserve a respectable wage for doing it. Anyway, creatives are chronically underpaid next to their peers in basically every field and I just think that's garbage. Undervaluing art is loser behavior.

I'm still seeing so many big names in the ttrpg space freely using AI and neglecting Alt Text. If you have any sort of reach, please consider the message this sends to the people who follow you. AI is art theft, full stop. All of it. And Alt Text is necessary to make images accessible.
