Any ways, don’t use AI as a replacement for actual writing or thinking or research or literally anything it is SO EMBARRASSING

So I finished watching the new Love, Death + Robots stuff. My favorite new episode was Spider Rose, by far; Little Nose for Profits deserves the world! For He Can Creep was great, too. But some of the rest of the season was ridiculously awkward and tacky...?

i want to be a killjoy: we need to make it socially unacceptable to ask chatgpt anything

“Sex scenes need to move the plot forward or they’re just porn” is exactly what a book-banning fascist would say and then define moving the plot forward as depriving queer and female characters of agency

Honestly, trans folks are like Pokemon. When it’s time to change our form, we evolve to the next gender. Stat boosts. New name. Better shape. It’s wild.

When ice cream vans blast their little song I like to think they’re en route to an ice cream emergency

Happy Birthday to the greatest action movie ever made.

Been playing through Cyberpunk 2077 again and I'm really loving it this time around! It was a buggy hellscape on release, constantly breaking and crashing, but now it's a smooth joy to play. There are so many great characters and quests; I'm super glad I came back to it!

How many times do trans people have to be proved right before we reclaim our previous societal role of soothsayers and mystics?

Turns out trans activists are just trans people that dare to exist Thats always been our crime, daring to exist

For every doll you deny me I will push another jet off an aircraft carrier

saw a one-star review from a lady on amazon who had begun reading a history book and was deeply upset by the Vikings’ use of “slightly crude language.” ma’am, if that offends you, you’re going to be SHOCKED when you learn what else the Vikings got up to

What are four of your favorite movies of the decade so far? Here's four of mine!

It's ok to go quiet. It's ok to have wild bursts of energy and inspiration followed by downtime to recharge. Don't ever beat yourself up over your energy being cyclical. You are not a machine. Sometimes, you need to eat sheet cake and be sad while taking a chance on a new book to read. All valid♥︎✨️

every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

Went and saw Sinners today and it was fantastic! The music scene in the middle of the movie made me cry, it was just... perfect.

Share the last four games you played! For me, it's: Cyberpunk 2077 (it's great now! It was insanely buggy on release) Dead by Daylight (Blood Moon event is fun, but the Ghoul's way too strong) Arcade Spirits: The New Challengers (a really charming sequel) Mysterium (the cool ghostly board game)

i do not want fascism i want to kiss pretty people and make art and play board games

I was thinking to myself, why can't I write tonight, and then I yawned so hard my mouth opened up like a snake's anyway goodnight

Thor came home! He was missing for five whole days, and came back super hungry and thirsty. After eating and drinking water he wanted loads of cuddles, headbutted me a ton, wanted to hold my hand for a good long while, and now is finally resting. I'm so relieved, so happy, so glad he's okay!

Having a miserable week. Highlights (lowlights?) include the wonderful cat I've spent eight years with being missing for days now and someone who I thought was a close friend, someone who's made themself out to be an ally, unveiling super gross anti-trans views. And plenty of other shit, too. Ugh.

Using generative AI is a quick way to tell everyone: - You don't want to pay the right skilled people - You lack appreciation for creativity - You think your consumers are stupid

All I want is a spiritual successor to Deep Space Nine, done at a budget configuration that yields 26 episodes a season. "Cinematic" prestige TV doesn't look as good as a movie, but is nearly as expensive, so knock that shit off and give me a half-calendar's worth of particleboard sets, please.

reading the news is like a DDoS attack on my brain
