I have *never* used ChatGPT. Not once.

I’m not saying I’m better than you… oh fuck it, I’m better than you.

Remember how scary it was for the 36 hours where it felt like the Right could explode into violence as a repercussion of an assassination? That's what our trans brothers & sisters feel like every fucking day

We have to protect them at all costs. They are our line in the sand; not a bargaining chip.

I will never support the usage of Gen AI in any creative form, ever. You cannot make Gen AI that mimics creativity and it be ethical.
Theft is not ethical. It is theft. Nothing more, nothing less.

If you want to read a story, support an author or make it yourself.

Sometimes I decide to begin writing another first draft, and then I add it to my “new stories” folder where it will not be completed for another year or more.

It’s the antithesis of useful. It’s actively harmful.
AI is not useful.
I don’t think there’s a single serious critic who says AI’s not useful? The concerns I see are about content rights, worker impacts, environmental effects, epistemological threats, or media manipulation. But that’s all predicated on the idea that it *does* work, often too well for people to manage…

“This Nightmare… does it remind you of home?”
“It reminds me of my weakness…”

I felt the urge to get to developing my Warrior of Light’s story some more. This time it’s a discussion with Fray.
Hooray for having the free time to write ffxiv headcanons!

Happy TDOV. Make sure you never stop being you.

Have you ever felt like you were on the cusp on getting that story right, just to realize that the problem was just something simple, like writing it in first person instead of third person omniscient?

If you're in Illinois and:

- Palestinian, or protesting the genocide in Occupied Palestine; or

- trans, or protesting for trans rights;

and you are arrested or discriminated against, I can represent you pro bono. Please email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. I will take as many cases as I can.

If you're a self-publishing author and considering an AI designed cover, please realize that it will likely look like 8,000 other covers out there. It's your book. It deserves a real cover design. Lots of aspiring illustrators and designers are at the ready to help out.

Remember to stay safe. Tell your friends you love them. And remember to take gentle care of yourself.
It’s okay to grieve.
It’s okay to be afraid.
It’s okay to fall down, but just pick yourself up and keep moving, however you can.
We can get through this storm.

I made my Halloween Glamour for #ffxiv #ffxivallsaintswake #halloween
I had the idea to try making a Ghost Ghoulette outfit using some of the new Halloween outfit.
The reply post has the inspiration photos.

If you see this, post your pride flags!

Trans Demi-sexual Lesbian! I definitely fall in an odd place when it comes to sexuality. I only like women, but I have to have some kind of certain and longstanding relationship formed before I know if I have interest.

TLDR: I am weird and I like that.
