I cannot stop cackling at this, it’s scratching a dumb middle school level early internet itch for me.
The Menagerie@themenagerie.pmd.social · last yr.I may have taken this too far
I just read this, and it was incredible, beautiful aesthetically and written. It’s got me checking my internal narrative bias around Bipolar I in the best way.

One bright side to being forced to live in an AI slop tornado is now I see my artistic mistakes as incredibly endearing. The human machine of my body made that weird line. My worst day of drawing is completely untouchably better than anything AI will ever produce until the heat death of the universe
Call me conspiratorial, but the big reveal that it AI is racist/sexist/ableist/all-the-phobics is being treated like it’s a flaw in the system rather than part of its design. Whether it’s intentional or not, the bigotry and abuse of “AI” as it’s been built is the yeast in the bread, no?
I’ve been thinking a lot how pre social media I was SUPER into Mega Man (even though I sucked at the games) and my primary “social media” was a forum for mega man fans.

Going in to 2025, its important that you *actually own* the queer and trans literature you consume. That's why for ebooks you should always look for DRM-free storefronts like Itch, or an author/publisher's website, where you can buy a downloadable .epub you can read anywhere, and is yours forever
Dax, sapphic fantasy author@daxaeterna.ink · 2y agoBTW: When you make purchases on Itch, the files are yours to keep forever. You aren't "licensing" it; Amazon can't delete it from your library. YOU are part of preserving transfeminine literature, YOU are part of the movement preventing digital book burnings. YOU are fighting censorship & erasure
