@leopardsbane.bsky.social has poem'd Can I believe anyone stands condemned before the maker of such a world, before the Father of such a Son? Crowned with a thousand pink and cornflower dawns, and all the roses in Jerusalem? This God who fell Himself into our sorrows, who fell Himself into bread.

Follow me and the first thing I see is that you trade in hours of AI video and ambience and it's a block. Not to my door. Generative AI is a planet-killing theft engine hollow of lived experience. The bubble will burst, but that's not why we oppose it, we refuse AI because it's morally bankrupt.

This is just going to be a general bitch about getting an autism diagnosis as an adult. About two and a half years ago my GP put me on this path at her recommendation. At this point I was fairly certain (not diagnosed or undiagnosed, but peer reviewed)

mates, my second autism assesor told my my special interest is classified as 'collecting knowledge' and diagnosed me with stage one aptos 2 level 11 isn't that just being....curious? how is 'liking learning' a special interest? I am tired, boss.

I have two stories accepted for paid publication, I have arranged to go to the ballet with my friend, and this weekend I am going to spend with my partner. Hey, 15 to 20-something year old me, not dying is completely worth it

It is no longer enough to whisper into the ears of the emperors that they are not gods, we need to whisper that they are pathetic little nothings and there are more of us

I will have a couple of pieces of my artwork exhibited as part of the Hastings Arts Forum "New Members" exhibition. 18-29 March at 20 Marine Court, St Leonards on Sea TN38 0DX. Open 11am-5pm Wednesday to Sunday. Open Evening 20 March 6-8pm

A flyer for the exhibition showing a multi-coloured figurative painting by artist Lisa Chester-Linskey, and the dates of the exhibition, the address, and the entrance times (as per the post it is part of).

I actually think this is why the tech bro fascists love and worship AI so much; they cannot comprehend the joy of doing and making, they want to optimise their lives so everything is streamlined and in this goal they reveal themselves for what they are: really fucking stupid

One thing that seems universally true of all fascists and the extreme right wing: they do not understand the point of art or the intent of any single piece of art. They are all fucking morons who are completely culturally illiterate. Sinead O'Connor would gouge their fucking eyes out for this.
