this case verifies much of what I said in this essay: 1) AI/LLM detectors don't work b/c LLMs are trained on real-life authors writings (+ the detectors themselves are also LLMs!), 2) bad actors will wield these "detectors" against authors they suspect/dislike: juliaserano.medium.com/on-em-dashes...

On em-dashes and “AI detectors”

and the many reasons why I don’t and won’t use LLMs

The Caine Prize's account of how they investigated the Atlantic's un-evidenced claim that Simbarashe Kundizeza used AI to write his prize-winning story is fairly comprehensive and impressive, and should hopefully serve as a reminder of what counts as evidence... and what doesn't

This article passage from an autism column hit me hard:

Two trans people are going to be leading Montana house Dems. Absolutely historic. Congrats to @zoandbehold.bsky.social and @sjhowell.bsky.social for paving the way.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr@zoandbehold.bsky.social · 2d ago

I am proud to announce that I have been elected as a Whip for the Montana House Democrats! We have an incredible leadership team, and are ready to get to work for Montana! Additionally, we are blessed to have Rep. SJ Howell as minority leader—the first trans/nonbinary party leader in the nation!

TEN BILLION YEARS MAGIC STORIES RHAAAAA

My sweet aasimar girl🫶

Y'all, I need some ideas for a Christmas card I send to my near zero contact family this year. This will be the first outbound contact in a hot minute so I want it to be in their face transition isn't a temporary thing. Location, posing, props?

I’ve said this before but, as a trans woman, just going out into your neighborhood and city and being nice to people is coalition building

ryan cooper@ryanlcooper.com · 4d ago

the thing about this I think is that a lot of casual transphobia does not survive contact with an actual trans person. people get hopped up on online bullshit stories, but faced with a real life human being, all the air goes out of it

Important update: after previously signaling that it would cave to Trump's pressure, Michigan has announced that it will be restoring Medicaid coverage of gender-affirming care for trans youth. Pressure works, y'all. Don't let up on Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Virginia.

Aleksandra Vaca@transiticsnews.com · last mo.

Colorado & Michigan have become the latest blue states to end Medicaid coverage for trans youth. Solidly blue Colorado will also be IMMEDIATELY shutting off care for all trans kids receiving puberty blockers—despite Trump's rule allowing a 6 month ‘tapering’ period. This is a complete betrayal.

This is your periodic reminder that I wrote a kickass queer cyberpunk book called NAMELESS! It's got two queer women as protagonists, mysteries aplenty, more twists than a pretzel, and a cat with a prosthetic leg! You should totally read it. www.amazon.com/dp/B0GKGYZ2S8

The allure of monster romance for women usually comes from a desire to feel safe, protected, and loved from dangers like unwanted marriages/abuse. The idea of being so wanted that it supersedes societal norms. Also a desire for 💯 sex. If this (very old) trope bothers you, its time to look inward 🤷‍♀️
