I hate doing the "a rollback of trans rights is the gateway for a rollback of women's rights" thing because trans rights are human rights in and of themselves, whatever the impact on cis women. But goddamn I wish more cis women had a sense of history and self preservation.

I don't like genAI for MANY reasons but one of the most obvious reasons is bcuz it's just an extension of a battle artists were already fighting. People are TERRIBLE about crediting artists. It's always been a problem but genAI offers an easy excuse to not think of artists as real people.

People will always misinterpret your work, be blind to the subtext entirely, and miss things if you don't directly point them out. Please!! PLEASE! Don't let this make you dumb everything down. Reward the people who engage with your ideas! Create the things YOU want to create!

What I don't get is why publishers are acting so reflexively. Why not conduct your own investigation? Why not ask to look at previous drafts and compare them? Why rely on a fire extinguisher sold by an arsonist?

Generative AI is the tool and aesthetic of fascism, and that aesthetic only appeals to middle aged divorced sex predators, billionaires, guys who drive cybertrucks, and guys who don't tip. It's the aesthetic of losers, miserable assholes, and guys with a sexual allegations section in their wiki.

howdy I'm KM, your friendly neighborhood they/them-brarian. I'm probably reading comics, writing poetry, making zines, playing video games, or being a general nuisance. Zine thread: bsky.app/profile/kmbe... Poetry thread: bsky.app/profile/kmbe...

A series of zines and litmags in a magazine holder. The pubs included are:
- Body Positive zine
- fifth wheel press anthology 2024
- fifth wheel press anthology 2025
- The Gardening Zine
- Growing Up Queer in the Suburbs
- Messy Misfits Club issue 6
- Ouch! volume 2
- Ouch! volume 3
- Snowflake Magazine volume 3 issue 1
- Thimble Literary Magazine volume 6 number 4

A photo of me (white enby with glasses, septum piercing, brown hair in a shaggy mullet) wearing a shirt that says "Audiobookish" and a hat that says "useless and gay"

A round sticker with a starry background. In the middle is a stylized sun, moon, and torso. The text around the design reads "All celestial bodies are queer, all queer bodies are celestial."

A purple zine called "can you believe i actually turned this in: A Zine About Gender Feels." It is posed on a library shelf next to the queer/trans poetry anthology We Want It All.
