Lena of Lune @lena.isextremely.gay · 2hYes, privatizing public buildings definitely saves the city money, and in return we get... pickleball, and lose flea markets, roller derby, martial arts tournaments, and everything else that the Pipkin was used for Classic Memphis 110
Lena of Lune @lena.isextremely.gay · 2hIt would appear the fools at Optum Specialty have sent my Apretude prescription to *my house,* which is pretty wild given the fact that while I *can* give myself that injection, I'm not supposed to So I'm going to have to run this to my doctor's office 120
Lena of Lune @lena.isextremely.gay · 2hI, broadly speaking, like Rep. Balint. However, this is not a winning argument. Let's consider the anti-trans Dems. Either they: - Are liars who will say anything to get elected - Believe what they say If the former, how can they be trusted? If the latter, why would they vote with other Dems? 010
Lena of Lune @lena.isextremely.gay · 3hWhile this is technically true, it's also spin The increase in base load usage caused by Musk has forced MLGW to buy on the spot market more, which results in a higher fuel cost adjustment. Technically your rate wasn't "hiked" -- you just used more and each unit cost more And so you got screwed 020
Lena of Lune @lena.isextremely.gay · 6hThe thing about Memphis politics is that it's simultaneously more conspiratorial and inept that you'd expect It's basically a club of wealthy people and their friends co-opting NGO leaders and teachers to perform very short-sighted grifts 020

Lena of Lune @lena.isextremely.gay · 19hI don't know what's got people in a "mulch other trans siblings" mood these last few days but seriously, you can disagree with someone's take without trying to destroy them You can hold those with a platform accountable without sending them horrific DMs or using the slurs of the fascists. 391

Not the RAPIST. You can't rehab a rapist if there hasn't first been both justice and restoration for the victim. It is almost impossible to get justice so rehab is impossible too. 3327

Lena of Lune @lena.isextremely.gay · 03/10/2026Related to my last thread, look, I try not to blast my trans siblings for bad takes. I know some folks with some very bad takes but they don't have a megaphone But if you have a platform, you have power, and power must be held to account And that I should note includes me, with my small platform 040
Lena of Lune @lena.isextremely.gay · 03/10/2026I'm not going to qrp or link to the Epilogue Gaming article where a fellow trans person argues essentially "well, I mean, we don't know what the survivor wanted and Geller has done such good work and look at his apology, he's a good boy now, see?" because I don't want to amplify her traffic 🧵 150
Lena of Lune @lena.isextremely.gay · 03/10/2026Some of the emergent behaviors of transformer models built on huge corpora are surprising and intriguing, and some are expected by LTWM and connectionism And practically, the models do useful things ("agentic-ready" tasks) But the costs to humans are too high, especially for frontier models! 130
