True story: I have no idea what's going on on this site anymore because I unfollowed one rando for posting LLM-generated horndog slop of a certain anti-trans, anti-houseless political figure and my scrollbar disappeared.

I would love to see Covid Conscious filmmakers meeting up (in a safe capacity of course) making friends, talking projects, bonding over movie making. Are people at all interested in this?

Once again thinking about how #GenCon keeps hosting here even though Indiana is speedrunning the kind of legislation that generally leads to this.
New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.”
Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.

Less "disabled people can't do art without LLMs" discourse and more "stop supporting art-gentrifiers" discourse, please.
Right, since we're apparently doing "disabled people can't do art without AI" discourse again:
Got adaptive/assistive tech that helps you or someone you know do art/crafts? Drop it in the thread (bonus points if you can say what it's useful for and how much it costs)

Until the majority of people can finally accept that all people have worth, and any discrimination for something a person can't change is wrong, and that we need to take care of people who can't care for themselves, fascism is going to keep winning

If anyone has some awesome youtube videos people have made on the subject of how dangerous covid still is, please respond here
I've seen a few of them but forgot to save them to my playlist, & searching "covid" on youtube is useless

Can we please collectively stop referring to it as "AI," which is inaccurate, makes it sound vastly less terrible than what it actually is, and allows some of the worst people on the planet to frame the narrative?

Took my two oldest kids to a doctors appointment today and their doctor just kept thanking us for still masking. She said masks help in so many different ways and ppl are underutilizing them especially with everything that’s going around right now. #maskup #covidisstillhere

I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.
On a recent podcast Gavin Newsom tells Shawn Ryan how the Trans sports issue opened the door for him to change his mind on GAC for Trans Youth.
As someone who adored him since 2004 and voted for him 5 times, I can't wait for him to leave office.
There is no way I will be voting for him a 6th time.

Not voting for the guy who recorded himself stealing from unhoused people is such an easy red line, too.
Something the Democratic base is awakening too is the lengths Dem politicians will go to "keep" or "win" the votes of people who are deeply unlikely to ever vote for them in the first place, but when the base itself says they have a red line all they get is scolded

Please help save Medicaid. Medicaid keeps disabled kids across the US alive and with their families.
If I knew of something more likely to save Medicaid, I’d tell you, because winning - because keeping these kids at home with their loving families - is the only thing that matters here
Helping these parents come beg for the lives of their children is the best move we have. Help me fundraise.

One of many jarring things I saw this year was somebody saying that they're about to be houseless & then "sorry for being a bummer."
I... You're SORRY for struggle you didn't invite?
Whatever mood cops are out there shaming people for their crises need to examine their priorities in life.

I went from double cotton masks to N95s.
Wanted to start with N95s but the government was snatching them all up while claiming that people didn't need them.

Who else started with a cloth mask, then KN95, and then upgraded to an N95 respirator mask like the 3M Aura? ✋😷
Some of you even went up to a half face respirator 👍
Masking in an ongoing debilitating pandemic is not living in fear, it’s adapting with info. ✊😷

We need answers—now. Where is our sister Hilary Rivers? ICE took her the morning after Pride with no warning, no due process, and no communication. This is not justice—this is kidnapping. We demand transparency, accountability, and her immediate release.
