2.34% of all Americans are trans, according to US government census data. This number absolutely POLEAXES me, and from what I can see in the source data, the number is completely and totally legitimate and based on a colossal datapool of almost 2.5 MILLION respondents. Let's dig in.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social Worth nothing that all these polls using slightly different measures and questions to determine who is trans or gay, but it seems earlier estimates were clearly way too conservative. Also startling that there are about as many trans as gay adults in US.

AI RANT Following the cancellation of three major debut book deals over AI suspicions, I decided to put my own (needless to say, 100% human-written) prose to the test. My detector of choice was Originality AI, and the results proved to be jarring, to say the least. 🧵1/5

The funny thing... even if the public would loves AI, it still would be unaffordable without investor subsidies. No matter how hard they cram it into everything and no matter how well it is adopted, there is no path to profit for the technology. Like at all. kotaku.com/3d-model-mar...

It is imperativ that we (mostly) vanilla sfw artists stand with the freak nasty nsfw artist. An attack on nsfw artists and media is an attack on the freedom of all.

'A simple (perfect) life' - my spring landscape is finally finished! An apple orchard in bloom, old railway, sheep with their lambs and an allotment being prepared for growing :) Zoom in to see all the other tiny details too... I think this might be my favourite aerial embroidery I've ever done!

Train tracks go past the top of the orchard and allotment.Sewn train tracks past an apple orchard (to the left).An angled view of a sewn vegetable allotment surrounded by rough land, trees and with train tracks to the left.An angled view of embroidered bushes and paths going through them leading to an orchard, allotment and fields.

Been puzzling over this swimming beer hop/artichoke for a few days. The video quality is poor because I was at the surface and without my best lights. I think it's the sea slug Cyerce blackburnae, although the swimming style doesn't fit what it says in the description (from just last year).
