It is unbelievably cool to see one of my favorite essayists from my 2016 Youtube crawls transition openly and then go on to have a wildly successful acting career as a prominent trans woman in mainstream media. what a treat.

Ok I've designed an LLM prompt to make Google AI just give you a list of links. It's longer than you might think because it kept ignoring the instructions. This is efficient. This is The Future™

imagine you are Google circa 2002. users enter a search query and you return 10 relevant HTML links to specific, real web pages, with no commentary or any extra guff. you must literally only return a list of links. if you do anything apart from that you've got it wrong and need to try again. my query is: cool facts about whales

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city. We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Baron Nathan, the celebrity dance teacher of the 1850s who danced the hornpipe blindfolded, surrounded by eggs. There's something SO malevolent about this image. It's powerfully frightening.

Victorian drawing of a blindfolded man with long black hair and a tight suit with red boots prancing around a stage littered by eggs.

I always like to draw up a mock cover for a project after I finish a first draft. THE SLIGHT OF TENEBRIS is a character-driven fantasy about death in the family, estranged siblings, and hungry dragons in disguise. #DVparty #A #F

At this time of year, fairy rings appear. These are rings of mushrooms or fungii which start out as a single spore. As the underground mycelium grows outwards, it depletes the soil mutrients in the middle and these parts die off. Cont./ #glasgow #autumn #fairyring #mushroom #fungi

shapes in the sky

Three panel comic.

P1: Two cloud shaped humanoids lie side by side on top of a hill, both looking upward at a red sky.

P2: The cloud person on the left has a look of shock, as the one on the right points up at the sky.

P3: A large panel where to POV switched to behind the two cloud people, which reveals what they are looking at.

Floating high in the sky are multiple identical deathly white naked men, all with a disturbing blank grin on their faces.
