Just heard about SoundCloud changing its TOS to use content for AI plagiarism laundering. No permission asked, no opt-out. What is it with techbros and an absolute disrespect for consent? If your ideas need to be smuggled and forced into our lives, how can that not give you pause? It’s alarming.

never let anyone tell you "defund the police didn't work." we never tried defunding the police. in point of fact, we exclusively gave them MORE money, and the problems only got worse!

Major good news for my transmasculine readers. The Washington State Democrats have informed me that the bill will cover 6-month supply stockpiles of testosterone as well. They were unable to get 12-month supply stockpiles due to its controlled status, but it WAS upgraded from 3 to 6 months.

I've been EXTREMELY uncomfortable with how trans women being forced to use the men's room is (rightfully) portrayed as a tragedy... while trans men being forced into the women's is played as a comedy. "Haha, you want THIS guy to use the ladies room?" As if that guy isn't in major danger.

I've written a one page patch for the new D&D Players Manual where I solve the problem of people's campaigns grinding to a halt because they can't schedule a game. PDF is the link. Print it out. Stick it in your manuals. May work for other games too. #ttrpg #dnd oldmenrunningtheworld.com?p=304

Literally Dying trying to Find a Post. I was on tumblr looking at a screenshot of bluesky, which was further a screenshot of a tweet about how not to get bogged down hypercopying your references; it was like a picture with red blocks of color over their references then redrawing inside the blocks

Said it a few years ago, it’s more true now, and it gets truer as execs keep killing game studios and decimating movies: Capitalism’s so fucked that it won’t even provide bread and circuses anymore. They’re consuming the very escapism that distracts us from their consumption. Useless ghouls.

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked. Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care. And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care! AMAZING

Queer Palestinian singer Bashar Murad for Vogue Japan. He wears an "Intifada Obi", which includes embroideries made by Gazan refugee women, supported by a collective that preserve Palestinian embroidery in kimono designs. My favorite songs from him are "Mashkara" and "Antenne". 📷: Hiroshi Asakura

They’ll lay you off if your game isn’t a hit. They’ll lay you off if your game is a hit. They’ll award themselves and their friends millions of dollars thanks to your hard work either way. The so-called “AAA” game industry is built on pure indecency and rotten to the core.

It might hurt my bottom line, but I’m probably going to stop posting art to Twitter entirely and I suggest you do too. Not only is the site actively putting a “Okay, now remix this” button below art (and elevating them above the OP with a QRT) and it’s false flagging original art as made by AI.

This is truth. SO many of you have no idea the sputtering, wild-eyed meltdown you would trigger. Criticism means nothing coming from marginalized person; they've already decided we don't matter. But YOU? You're supposed to be on THEIR side. And I can almost guaranteed they just assume you are.
