Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

can i say that discord aided in killing communities like this? there's no clubs anymore, no forums, nowhere really to properly 'discuss' or engage with things in third spaces outside of the limited options we have now. everything has been divided a million different ways, stuffed behind doors

it definitely shows why schools like Harvard hated Title IX improvements designed to actually prevent and properly respond to sexual violence.
Could argue the misogyny Summers expressed both publicly while president of Harvard and in emails to Epstein says more about the culture at our most elite institutions than any of the frontpage freakouts over academia in the past few years but hey

I had a great conversation about this phenomenon with some sociologists at ASA once. A colleague took me to task for failing to see how they KNOW the reference. They aren’t misreading literary references — they are wielding them to demonstrate their power to shape our ethics.
The fact that he named it Project Prometheus is priceless.

For over 150 years, trans people have used courts to change legal sex. While writing Before Gender, I found what may be the first case in the US: a formerly enslaved trans woman in Georgia in 1869. Her story shows that trans people found legal support long before the word transgender even existed.

The feminine urge to open a writers/artists commune where a bunch of my friends live and create and share ideas and inspiration and laughs, and it has a bookstore/coffeeshop/gallery to help pay for it all, like a monastery or abbey that sells honey or caramels or whatever

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

Working on an illustration for puk, she lists some changes I need to make to her guy's face. I make them. Then catch myself off guard and say aloud 'oh fuck that's a vampire'.
I don't know which of us this is dragging.

I feel like I need to do a concise fountain pen sins post, for when people can't remember who did what.

-Noodler's: racism (egregious), ink damages pens, covid conspiracist.
-Goulet: anti-queer, on staff for a southern Baptist Convention church.

Yeah... Ferris Wheel Press joining Noodlers and Goulet on the Friends don't let friends... shelf.
Popping in to Bluesky on this fine morning to say that "fountain pen drama" that so many people are referencing relates to Ferris Wheel Press (FWP). Countless people asked for comments on their JKR collab, founder ignored all questions wrt the LGBTQIA+ community.

A few weeks ago I was talking politics with a local, highly straight, bartender.
All the sudden he said: “Well, I think a big part of the problem is that so many of the people who would’ve been our progressive leaders died of AIDS & can’t help us now.”
And I’ve thought about that every day since.
