There's a position open at work that I want so I'm redoing my resume. I feel a lot more impressive on paper than in person.

“climate debate” = “transgender debate” the % of scientific community agreeing about manmade climate change = % of trans people who report positive outcomes from HRT scientifically speaking both phrases are equally illiterate

Begging editors around the country to retire the phrase “transgender debate.” That’s not what this is. That’s not what this ever has been!

Me, whose sister has had melanoma removed multiple times: This is amazing news! My catastrophizing best friend: First it's cancer, next the fascists are going to use this on us! Eugenicists are going to identify the queer genes and eradicate us all with this.

We have to keep the dream of Connie Kent alive because if we don't she'll fade away. Never forget. Keep her alive and one day we can trans Superboy because this is basically canonical to me.

"I'm in a Facebook group where people sometimes ask for book recommendations, so I just put the question in chatgpt and tell them the response." Did you think for even an iota of a second that they might want a recommendation from a human and not the statistical word vomit machine?

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

nobody says trans people have good faith concerns when we talk about how transphobic policies impact us. we are “pushing an agenda.” total reversal of what’s actually happening

lol musk is threatening to shut down Twitter to Minnesotans because we won’t let him make AI deepfake pornography

The reality: Men do not need to put on a dress and go into a public restroom to abuse women and children. They usually just go home. Or don a clerical collar. Or wear a badge. Or run for office. Or play pro sports. Or they just do it in public, wearing pants.

Maybe we should be framing Flock cameras as a good thing that tracks and follows gun owners(I can't imagine they're not doing that) as they go about their daily lives if we want conservatives to have any opinion other than "if you're not breaking the law you have nothing to fear"

I genuinely hate the push to make smoking a thing again. I have watched so many drawn out, ugly, painful deaths from smoking. It makes everything disgusting. It enslaves us to the worst kinds of corporations. There’s ZERO positive here.

why did you transition, right answers only Mae Dean's conversation with herself in the pages after this comic got me to start looking at my life and do a little bit of introspection for the first time since 1996. reallifecomics.com/comic-mobile...

why did you transition, right answers only pandemic-era twitter and instagram introduced me to a lot of trans women experiences and at a certain point I had to accept why the algorithm kept feeding me trans stories i related to heavily. My dad died in the closet and I swore I wouldn’t do the same.

Got upset and made this so hopefully people will actually listen. What the fuck are we doing here folks?

Something left a dog 💩 sized pile of 💩 in my flower bed a couple days ago. It's full of tiny seeds so I'm guessing it's from the raccoon that lives in my tree. Naturally I have buried it in a shallow grave and am eagerly waiting to see what grows
