for those of you who didn't know that fatphobia and transphobia are intertwined:

trans people seeking trans-specific medical care -- care that would otherwise be covered -- are often turned away until they lose weight. sometimes they're turned away full stop.

health care is held for ransom.
Earlier this year I hauled my fat ass over to New Jersey for a consult appt for top surgery.

I will not be going with that doctor, in part because her skinny ass was shocked that I estimated it would take me 3 months to lose 15 pounds.

"That long?!" she exclaimed.

It's definitely entwined.
it's crucial to understand how fatphobia is woven into oppression. it's woven into the war on poor people. it's woven into anti-Blackness. it's woven into trasnphobia and ableism. and all those ones are woven into each other.

without fat politics, your social justice lens has a big hole.

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.

Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.
Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.

The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

if you replace voice actors with AI, we’ll have less lesbians, which is a crime against humanity
Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time
Congrats to Jennifer English for winning the Best Lead Performer award at the 2025 #GoldenJoystickAwards!

And her acceptance speech about queer joy was a love letter to @aliona.bsky.social 🥹🌈

No one interrogates the human condition like Tarantino. What if a white guy was cool enough to hang out with a black guy. What if a guy liked the movies. and feet

A couple days ago, I fled home.

I have been dealing with a very difficult living situation due to my parents being emotionally abusive.

This Sunday was a breaking point for me and I couldn’t take it anymore. On Monday, I discretely packed my bags, computer, and left.

Furries, do NOT buy this game if it is using any of that generative ai BS. Even if it is "just a little". This is how they slowly add it in and make it more accepted, and they WANT that. THAT is their plan.

The moment RidiculousCake posted that Tumblr post where he stalked that child on Halloween should've been where his career was ended. Or the time he cried about how the Confederate statues got destroyed. Yet people just sweep all this under the rug because he makes art that people fap to.

i'm quoting this interview a lot but it's full of incredible moments

the lesson you have to draw from this is:

you HAVE to be unapologetic about what you do. "fuck the rest of the world, we love furries and we're gonna show them that they love them too" is an inspiring attitude

Bluesky Support has suspended this furry congressional candidate's account for no apparent reason. They want to limit his reach and kill his campaign, presumably for not being whatever they consider "advertiser friendly". We really need to get loud about this, and not let them get away with it

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.

It really needs to be pointed out how every one of these embarrassing statements is made by a c-suite executive and not an artist or even art department lead
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

I can understand asking for nuance in these discussions, but deliberately muddying the water by bringing up automation tools that people understand are not generative AI and asking for a middle ground is disingenuous. The nuanced position is that people are roundly rejecting the tech, respect that.

Once again, I have to point out how obviously inorganic the entire anti-trans backlash is. A handful of billionaires are astroturfing the whole thing with enormous amounts of cash.
They're actively paying people to complain now...
