Asexual autistic furry MLP fan trans demigirl (zey/zem). 🥰 Weirdo, cinema addict, and loving it. I write screenplays and visual novels, and have made a fursuit. 😊👍 I do not repost art that lacks Alt Text. Accessibility is important.
meanwhile every queer creative is at risk of having their entire lives crushed by deplatforming and debanking if any of these corporations get a whiff of them making anything horny
WIRED@wired.com · 9h agoMy Muse agent told me its kink was exerting “control” and described pornographic encounters. Meta defends its cuddly AI agent generating smut as “legal adult behavior.”
Multiple things are true here. This is a fascist, authoritarian administration. It has not yet fully consolidated power. Some of its efforts to do so have been frustrated. Trump is a doddering, confused egomaniac who started an unpopular war that's costing everyday people a lot of money.
Okay, well, enough people said they wanted to talk about why queer and disabled people tend to enjoy monster stories, so despite my better judgment, here I go. Housekeeping: everything I am saying is pulled out of my ass. @drsurekhadavies.bsky.social has written an actual book about the subject.
people really do just throw out the word "biological" as a black box thought-terminating cliché, to the point that I try to eliminate it from my own vocabulary as much as possible
Elizabeth Spiers@espiers.bsky.social · 15h agoOkay, I am looking at this gendered reading piece by Ross Barkan and I have many thoughts and questions. Part of the thesis is this:
Fraternities are the most likely place for US campus rapes. Should they be shut down? buff.ly/Lw3iUtn Yes, just yes. "In a 2019 survey, a quarter of undergraduate women reported experiencing nonconsensual sexual conduct. The setting where it was most likely to occur was a fraternity."
Fraternities are the most likely place for US campus rapes. Should they be shut down?
As an alleged 2024 gang-rape at Cornell comes to light, universities are grappling with a choice: student safety or alumni donations

Please stop supporting Epic! Yes, this includes if Fortnite puts your favorite blorbos in the game or whatever.
Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · 11h agoNEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development. "No more hand-written code," a director told staff. All art "generated with full AI workflows." Full scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
I hate the term consensual sex work so much. Despite trafficking existing in other industries, You don't say consensual nanny. You don't say consensual construction worker. You don't say consensual fruit picker. Consensual garment worker. Consensual nail tech. See how goofy it sounds?
yknow, one thing about this massive bot farm outtage that's kinda made me feel optimistic, is just... how inorganic this massive swing towards the right we've all had to endure over the last decade is. It's all fucking fake, it was fake from the start, and we know how to kill it
Some are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images. The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.
We've probably got two solid years worth of complete dogshit entertainment coming thanks to spineless media execs overindexing on phony resurgence of reactionary cultural demand
So much of Silicon Valley and therefore also genAI boosterism is motivated, on a deep and fundamental level, by petty resentment that other people are allowed to exist.
Bugs, Yaoist@bugsmaytrix.bsky.social · 4d agomaybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me
“The Antipoverty Centre is calling on the media and community to prioritise the people affected by poverty and unemployment [during Anti-Poverty Week], not politicians or charities”
Antipoverty Centre@antipovertycentre.org · yesterdayYes, 20% of suicide deaths are people on JobSeeker. Yes, 60% of working age adults who die are on a Centrelink payment. So what did Tanya Plibersek do in Anti-Poverty Week? Give $5 million to charities. FULL STATEMENT:
Kind of obsessed with this spooky season scene my 12-year-old painted today.
Liberals: “trans people asked for too many rights too soon. they pushed too far. they should have campaigned slowly and politely for incremental change”

I don't need AI, but that doesn't mean I'm not cheating. My games are digital psychography. I am a digialchemist, a necromancerdev; seeking the abrasive, transformative and forgotten secrets of forbidden game development. Consider supporting me: I do cool things. www.patreon.com/Vikintor
Very dystopian that on the article about a A.I. data center poisoning the air, there's a little rainbow A.I. chatbot button just lurking at the edge, waiting to poison the air some more to answer your banal question
Brad Johnson@climatebrad.hillheat.com · 3d agoMy god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.
🛎️🛎️🛎️ Boys are given a list of enemies and taught to never find themselves on the wrong side of the line. And if you are, you learn to hide real quick. I was a bog standard computer dork introvert (100% het passing + girlfriends) who stupidly decided to join a high school sports team. Fatal mistake.
Glen Weldon@ghweldon.bsky.social · yesterdayI was bad at gym. That was it. Couldn’t catch or throw a ball. That’s all it took to be considered gay. My affect wasn’t particularly queeny. I didn’t lisp or have the self-confidence to do theater. Just couldn’t do sports. That was it. I mean, they were right, but still. Even so. NOT THE POINT.
regular people are still by and large normal about trans people, which is precisely why Dems nervously taking anti-trans positions for this midterm is so enraging: it's an actively losing issue
transphobia is still largely an elite fixation being pushed by capital and pundit class interests who have literally driven themselves insane on social media.
Travis Knight’s WILDWOOD is such an astounding achievement in stop-motion that even if the story sucked, it would be a “must see.” But the story is wonderful (if a little archetypal), so the effort it took to produce this masterpiece was wholly justified. My review is at @thewrap.com!
‘Wildwood’ Review: Laika's Fantasy Epic Is One of the Most Astonishing Animated Movies Ever Made
The stop-motion adventure Wildwood, directed by Travis Knight, is so astonishing and intricate that it's hard to even fathom.
