I'm planning to make a second bluesky account for my writing at some point in the near future. (Well, I've made the account already, but I'm planning on actually, you know, using it.) This one will be just for me to scream into the void and share things I think are important/educational
In case anyone's wondering why I'm inactive, I'm, uh... going through a lot right now
One day I'll be ready to talk about it, but social media is a minefield for me right now
Still hoping I'll be able to share my writing at some point, but for now, I'm trying to just keep my head above water

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

I'm sure my followers know this, but I'll say it just in case it breaks containment.
When the topic is disability; listen to disabled people.
Trans rights? Listen to trans people.
Racism/ xenophobia? Listen to BIPOC.
Women's issue? Listen to women.
Marginalised people KNOW what's best for US.

Having the sum of human creative output called “ai training data” is frying me
Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their datasets - this bill would force them. If you're pro AI regulation (esp if you're in Bay Area), please show up and offer your support for this bill! If you can't make it, help spread the word!

My two cents: please, be human.
Follow artists you GENUINELY like. Interact with them. Who knows, perharps one day they'll be your mutual or friend.
You are not just your art: show your personality, joke about stuff, talk about how cute your cat is.
You are a person, not a content machine

Random talk here:
I've been asked before by newer/younger artists about how to get popular or meet other artists.
My answer is "please do not make popularity your focus when creating art." It's going to leave you frustrated and feeling empty when you create artwork. It'll suck the fun out of it.

CW: Abuse
I want to talk about some specific forms abuse can take for trans people. I'm focusing on partners, but a lot could also be applied to families/friendships/etc.
I'm also focusing mainly on relationships where the abusive partner is cis, but this isn't cis-exclusive behavior. (1/?)

I don't get paid from my new gig until 12/31.
My rent is going up by 33% simply cause my landlord CAN.
I've spent 1497.11 on car rentals (+1836.61 in rideshare) *just* since September trying to get to births and other gigs.
This last 11% can get me out of an expensive, poverty caused cycle.

👋🏿 I'm 3 years into a fundraiser to support my journey of becoming a midwife, I'm STRUGGLING to take these very last steps. Finishing the $7889 left on this campaign would secure essential transportation to get to births and let me connect the pieces of my training and commitment to community birth.

A Maine woman retired early to be a caregiver for her terminally ill mother.
Now she’s facing cancer herself, and because ACA subsidies won’t be extended, she is losing her healthcare.
Her costs are going up for $49,000 a year.
This isn’t healthcare, it’s eugenics.

Trump is invading American cities to nominally address crime, and I think the scale of his pardon-sprees should be given more political salience
When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.
