@ladyliminal.bsky.social yo, looking forward to seeing you up on the hill!

Want to rep the alternative market and the extremely cool artist Ash the Fox from whom I got a fungal linoprint a fuck terfs badge, and the exhilarating joy of feeling community (might be the spritz roulette as well)

I've edited two comments and letters from professors against the anti-trans rulings this week and the first is now out of embargo at www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... Banger lines in here from a professor who looks at hormones and the brain

Ya boi is yelling about the so-called AI again. Had some authors submit a paper where they 'translated through AI' and now it's barely readable. Again, we need paid, real translators if you're going to do this. Don't fuck up the syntax that we're used to via whatever site you found

gladiator for the bisexuals I am calling it

One of my most hated things is "identifies as" Sorry we exist, but not sorry

Zine making at a Palestine demo

trying to switch off the AI bloatware that has been pinned to the top of every single menu in every single app

The answer is write more, unfortunately

Rokos basilisk is so fucking stupid congrats you invented Satan with extra steps

Listening to the news saying trans women aren't women fills me with such rage I feel sick - yes, trans women are women and both the science and basic empathy both back that up

Fuck the Guardian, Fuck Wes Streeting, Fuck Hilary Cass, Fuck JKR, Fuck every UK transphobe. you're all wrong and that's why any victory you claim will be pyrrhic and temporary. Rot, you motherfuckers.

I know the world is rubbish but a friend who I met on the other site has just got access to e and another just had faceapp change gender her to man so I love to see my friends winning

I hate his stupid cunt face and stupid cunt opinions.

Making my mother a new yorker style cartoon mothering sunday card to atone for a sin I committed when I was about six (made a card for my duck, crossed out duck's name, put 'mummy')

Open-ened q and also looking for discussion, but is there a way to do the whole glaze thing for writers and authors? Or would it just fuck up accessibility too much (ie, would a space that was actually a white 'thin space' that would look completely fine screw up people who need to use ereaders?)

Pathetic and shameful, literally just a gesture and that's too difficult?

You were told that it was 'impossible' to dismantle institutions. And abolitionists told you this wasn't true and that there were many institutions that SHOULD BE dismantled. But lots of people can't "imagine" the end of prisons, policing, etc... In reality, every single thing can be dismantled.

Creed and Given are in a really perilous situation, I know that everyone is a bit skint but if you're not then I do recommend helping them

I've made a (positive) name for myself as the outspoken bolshy anti-AI luddite in my company and I have been SAYING how bad AI is not just generally, but as intrusive 'helpful' popups for people who need screen readers etc

Me, having cigarettes and vaping

Would really love some of that good old fashioned immediate wide scale structural change for the better where everybody's needs are met and everyone can meaningfully thrive without fear of bigotry or threats to our lives. Sure would hit the fucking spot.

Hey quick question- what are the last novels these idiots have read (novels, not listening to anything audio book of non fiction at 2x speed to optimise...something something efficiency) and given the answer is probably disappointing, how the fuck are they meant to gauge literary quality

In cheerful editing news, I'm working on an urgent modelling study about the halt of PEPFAR. Death isn't good enough for this administration, and the UK cutting foreign aid puts them on the chopping block as well

I am being sent so many AI helper messages, if you use them I think less of you as a person
