Trans gal with the 'tism~ Mostly reposts and replies because I'm better at responding to things than just talking at a void.

...ah crap, am I just a Reply Girl?
Uh...zero? Goddamn. Any Dem candidate polling a frikkin ZERO with an entire core demographic of the party like that...that just sets off all kinds of alarm bells.
This may not be entirely fair but a reason I don’t think mayor Pete has It is because he polled zero percent among Black voters, the demographic which - can’t say this without sounding condescending but - usually gets it right, early, when it comes to candidates

trying to regulate people’s sexual expression is the dumbest shit
you end up with companies notifying you that putting the word “mommy” in a title of a video is a “crime”

behold that abject stupidity of medieval obscenity laws
Just a heads up from PornHub, mommy domme content on the site “will always be in violation of our terms” — unless it’s a “stepmommy domme” audio

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

When you are a new creator, whether in prose, comics, or other media, it can be very tempting to agree to every convention or other event that you're asked to do. Exposure is great, right? And it's wonderful to be wanted.

It's very simple. The next film should be about four Bonds: a cyborg one, a bloke in a suit of armour with a big hammer, a teenage one who's cloned from the DNA of Bond and Blofeld, and a fascist one that's secretly an artifact from Bond's homeworld.
Then the real one should come back with a mullet.

Every time this happens to one of us we all lose. They tighten the noose with every layer of censorship, with every action they take on someone.

It never loosens before reaching the next person and we need everyone, *everyone*, to fight back with us or it never will.

Censorship will choke us all.

One of the reasons this administration seems shocking in its stupidity as well as its cruelty is that most people’s conception of evil comes from stories that are written with ordinary decent people in mind as their audience. 1/

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

I love to get this question, honestly. Because my response is "I have never once caught covid."

Nobody has yet tried to argue with me about masks after that line! It typically results in an awkward "...oh." and a rapid change of subject or disengagement~
Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

Hey, uh, Target? Who is this for? Because lemme tell you, requiring your employees to try and engage me in conversation if I pass near them is going to make me shop somewhere else.

Don't make your staff try and waste customers' time like this. Yeesh.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

Mamdani's line that billionaires spent more to oppose his candidacy than he proposed to tax them really says it all.

Like a company that shuts down a profitable location as soon as it unionizes. The principle of maintaining control is more important.

virtue signalling is good actually
Performative decency is actually *so* important for this reason.

It tricks the 10% of ghouls into thinking that there are only 1% of ghouls.

And it makes the 30% of people that don't care one way or another follow the mostly decent crowd

i think it's good actually that a videogame prominently featuring AI voice acting is finding success while my VA friends haven't found steady work in years and have their rates forcibly ground into dust over the few reliable gigs left

but hey the game is really fun right!!!!!!!

"That's so evil I don't believe you're telling me the truth" is such a specific problem with our electorate.
Recently my brother in law explained what gerrymandering was to a coworker and they didn’t believe him because if that were really happening there would be riots in the street
This week I had someone tell me they're not worried about SNAP being cut off because "that's illegal, so it's impossible Trump could do that, so obviously it's just media sensationalism." Another person told me they weren't worried about ICE because "they can't detain you if you're legally here."

If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.

For every $1 in benefits fraud, agencies spend $3.72 trying to detect it, based on the unproven assumption that means-testing lowers the rate of fraud. But there's evidence to indicate that trusting people to self-report what they need would be cheaper overall, even factoring in fraud/abuse.
“some people abuse SNAP” your soul is rotten
