I mean, there’s not a thing in the world that even suggests this could be anything but an abysmal failure but sure, go for it, Kroger, fuck public sentiment

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

Trust me, that 3 paragraph long “meme” you’re posting isn’t interesting, insightful or original enough to even come close to excusing the shitty AI picture you’ve used as a background.

The thing about disgruntled Trump voters is that they still hold the same vile beliefs that led to their vote, they just think he did the things wrong so now they’re getting hurt. The next guy just has to say mostly the same shit but promise to do the terrible things better.

Some news! The situation isn’t as dire as we feared. Definitely not a false alarm, and she’s gonna need a lot of care, but at least we’re not measuring her life in days right now, which I feel like such a weight is lightened. Please, any help to keep things trending up would mean so much.

The purpose is a publicity stunt abetted by a press that can’t resist pretending this guy has anything real to offer. Smoke and mirrors and bullshit to mask the stench of failure wafting over him.

Don't light my pyre and tell me it's a sunrise.

Colleges and hospitals openly discriminate against or ban trans people in NY, RI, MA, & VA.

MI & CO are cutting off trans kids from their healthcare.

Trans girls can't medal in front of cis girls in CA.

At least 72 Democrats have voted to strip human rights away from trans people and/or are currently campaigning on anti-trans propaganda in the past year.

Let’s just set aside the gross harm cons and writers organizations bring to their members and supporters when they support AI. It never ends well for them. They hemorrhage people , their reputations take a hit , they are the subject of near universal scorn. Why do they keep doing it?

This is like the period where every urban fantasy with a female author was being marketed as "paranormal romance." The genres are closely related, but they aren't the same thing.

The "is AI slavery" discourse is exactly what the tech bros want. It doesn't end with fancy autocompletes having human rights. Its logic ends with you having fewer rights. If you believe AI is sentient (it's not) & are down with enslaving it (it's not slavery), then why do human labor rights matter?

My lower legs have been wobbly and tired for days now, like I’m constantly running a marathon. Which, tbh, I’m constantly scrambling for one place to another, so maybe it tracks.

And, if I’m being honest, it leaves me with the feeling that I can’t possibly be suffering as much as others. Surely I’m overstating my pain. Otherwise, how could I possibly be functioning? The only solution is that I must be weaker in mind than other people.

Sometimes I’m drowning in the miasma of depression. Sometimes I can’t form a single coherent thought against the roaring swells of anxiety crashing through me. And yet I get out of bed. I do the things. Because there is no choice. Because the world offers no quarter.

Alt text: Depression isn't always dark rooms and crying endlessly. Sometimes its getting up, going to work and smiling and laughing all day and then coming home to sit quietly doing little to nothing until its time to go to bed.
