they need to come up with more words like necrosis and miasma and mausoleum and cadaver and morose and decrepit and stuff like that just so metal bands can expand their vocabulary

I worry a little bit that people who refuse to learn about ai as a part of their anti ai position are going to be extremely unprepared to understand what’s actually scary about it and already have their digital literacy at risk tbh

not that I am some genius in this regard but if you follow ai developments even slightly you might change the things you are most worried about. do people know the extent to which ai is already eating itself and how meaningless this is making swaths of the internet. do people know that there are plenty of random mid-sized companies today buying their employees’ likenesses to create digital clones and using these to make hundreds of videos. I am so much more worried about labor and surveillance and abuse than people becoming lazy about writing emails. and idk man I sort of like and respect people who are willfully ignorant about it as a way of minimizing its force in their lives and I am in some ways jealous but also when I see posts that basically still boil down to “chatgpt will never fool me” I am like 😭😭😭 for one thing not the only thing to be concerned about, for another thing I am really sorry but I don’t think you’re right

There's a far more eloquent way to say what I'm about to say but y'all don't see trans women as women or honestly even real people. you see trans women as patron saints of self-actualization and then get really mad when we are in fact just normal women.

like y'all see trans women pushing back against this bizarro hermaphrodite complex as somehow challenging your desire for self-actualization that you've projected onto us when really it's just us wanting to be treated like the complex individuals that we are rather than some anonymous deity in your weird gender pantheon

hating something is essentially the same as worshipping it btw like you're still putting us in your weird little gender pantheon

wait is obese a slur now

so many people post like they are from the dimension of No Misogyny because the misogyny all around them just registers to them as fine and normal

evoking bertholt brecht’s “the way people cast a play!” quote as a spell against prescriptive, stereotypical, fatalistic typecasting

Thanks to everyone who worked on verifying this information.

pick up that non-fiction book

"representation matters!" but you wont read or engage with non-fiction works about any demographic outside your own

this version of the post doesnt seem to be getting much traction but this is arguably the most important reason why we should be reading nonfiction in addition to fiction

I hate when people say pillow princesses "don't reciprocate". I don't like the implication that I am not receiving something equally valuable in that sexual interaction. You know what feels really reciprocal about sex with pillow princesses to me? The feeling of being safe and seen and understood. When I was stone I never had a pillow princess pressure me to take my binder or bra off during sex. I've never had one try to pressure me into assuming a role that I have explicitly stated I have no interest in taking. They show so much care for stone partners due to the similar lived experiences we have of people pushing our boundaries when they predatorily want to "fix" the way we have sex. I have always felt more safe with them and I feel honored that I get to let them feel safe with me. The freedom that comes with mutual respect and open communication leads to very very good sex. I have had the best sex of my life with pillow princesses.

in the increasingly conservative-leaning global sociopolitical climate that we live in it's important to remember that "subversive" does not automatically equal "good" or even "better" lest ye become what i like to call a Temporarily Embarrassed Contrarian

i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out
