42. Futch trans enby. Multigender AuDHD plural system. I live with multiple disabilities. Mother of two young adults and one teen. Newly remarried in a switchy M/s dynamic that is also polyamorous. 🔞 MDNI because I create and repost spicy content

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

Holy shit, this guy is so cool. He won the only major city mayoral race in France that *didn’t* need a second round of voting (meaning he had 50%+ of support in their version of a primary). A major part of his platform was disarming the police.

Finished “Witches of Dubious Origin” by Jenn McKinley and really liked it! It’s described as a cozy fantasy but I think it’s better to describe it as urban/contemporary fantasy. There’s a sequel coming out next month and I’m really excited to see how she develops this world!

Things Gavin Newsom has vetoed this week: -A ban on secretly recording people with smart glasses -A ban on ICE agents working for the state government -A ban on websites selling your data -A bill giving native tribes more say over water rights -A bill protecting transgender healthcare providers

Call me a dirty socialist if you want, but I think every living being should have access a healthcare safety net regardless of how much they work, go to school, etc. Every single person. It's ridiculous that people need to reach certain "requirements" in order to have a chance at healthcare.

Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

yeah the US so badly wants a two tiered slave labor system like the Gulf states but has to do it through undocumented labor to get around constitutional concerns around apartheid society , and then blames the undocumented workers for the labor system the US created
