An absolutely on-point essay on ethics and anthropomorphised empathy in the realm of autonomous robotics. I too would boot the dog into the atmosphere for the purpose of this experiment, but also realise I have a tendency to easily assign fictionalised personality to objects...

I'm the latest in a wave of disabled people being abandoned by Access To Work - despite the independent assessor ✨they✨ assigned telling them I need a support worker, Access To Work has decided to ignore their expertise and remove my support with no explanation

Okay, this video made me cry because it's actually the best dive into being aro I've ever seen someone do and I'm touched that @heyrowanellis.bsky.social wanted to try. I really needed this right now, thank you.

Finally put together my frame (& more) for @heyrowanellis.bsky.social 's queer movie art and I'm incredibly happy about how it looks 🥰 (may have gotten a little excited with all the stickers lol)

Framed scrapbook page with Rowan Ellis's "Queer Movie Poster" featuring references to 25 queer movies in a colorful house. To the right of the art is a list of the movies printed with a yellow background. The scrapbook paper used is colorful stripes of varying sizes. Stickers litter space the art doesn't cover, including hearts, a circle that says "love", and two butterflies (one lesbian colors and one gay/queer colors). One sticker connects the two pages, a small pink arrow pointing from the poster to the list. The print has Rowan's signature in the bottom left corner.
