Personally, I think James Cameron *SHOULD* personally hunt and kill all AI with a bow and arrow, I think this is a good use of his time, and a surprisingly practical solution.
Let's cut him a deal: he hunts and kills all AI, we all pretend to care about more Avatar movies.

I don’t check in on Twitter very often anymore, but it sure does remain world headquarters of trans girls saying deeply stupid and harmful shit and then claiming all the other trans girls mad at them just misunderstood
Hormones literally fix dysphoria for most of us that the point my gods

One year ago I married my butch!
It has been a hellish year out in the world, but through it all we have only found deeper love for each other. My entire world is under attack, yet she makes me feel like the luckiest femme in the world every single day.
Happy anniversary, my love 💜

This is one of the photos - idk it's not terrible for almost 40, still haven't learned to smile in a way that a photo can capture, though. Personally, I prefer video content of myself. That's how I got a wife, being a doofus on video. But this pic is... fine? It's certainly extant, I'll give it that

My lovely wife draws me a lot, and I absolutely love it. To be drawn, painted, to be the object of one's artistic expression? Spectacular, especially for a trans girl. That said, when I ask myself "which drawing captures my vibe best," I think it's maybe these two quick sketches she did a while back
