So the company who's buisness model is now basically selling AI generated CSAM is blocking a law to make that illegal, all while a new law to make CSAM legal to own so long as it's "AI generated" quietly moves through the courts. Cool and normal country

Generally speaking I do need AI boosters to understand that I’ve lost my career and future plans entirely to AI-based cost cutting. so any time you’re talking about tech you have to understand people whose livelihoods were destroyed by a thing they didn’t choose to adopt they’re gonna be prickly lol

Got dolled up a bit to go out to a show last night - PIG, which felt "big" for the venue. Good time overall

Yiiiikes I kind of hate how dysphoria just kinda sneaks up on me. New psych meds mean I'm more able to make progress on stuff and that's great! But I just realized that I haven't looked in a mirror in almost a week.

spiderman should be a poly lesbian not bc she should be in multiple healthy relationships at once but because true to canon Spidey should be fumbling all the time and being poly means she can fumble a relationship with MJ, Felicia, and Gwen at the same time

May be a hot take, IDK, but I feel like a lot of trans women, especially younger and or newly hatched, actually mean "I want to look hot" when they say "I want to pass". It's absolutely a valid goal! But it actually is a bit in opposition to the idea of "passing for safety".

BEGGING trans women to go look at semi famous women from the 70s to the early 2000s before the Epstien mindset took over and demanded that every woman look like the human equivalent of forever puppies. I literally know multiple people on here who kinda look like Michele Mouton

so it's important to realize that this exact dynamic, them being unable to win by just buying TV ads and getting beaten by on the ground enthusiasm, is the reason they lost to trump twice. but now because the left is doing it it's a problem and they can't just scream about russians or whatever.

Reasonable Democrats are going to have to get off their couches, roll up their sleeves and start organizing real voters on the ground.
We can no longer rely only on TV ads, digital spend and endorsements. Just donating from afar and complaining about the DSA won't cut it.
The DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) can beat moderates in a growing number of blue strongholds.
Why? Because the DSA has patiently built an army of on-the-ground organizers - who go to meetings, help each other, study together and THEN work to turn out voters on Election Day. That army grows every day - election or no election. Their investment in real people grows (and compounds) with each election cycle. The DSA has a bigger army, every time, win or lose.
But at the end of any election, all moderate Dems have for their efforts is a bunch of ads that nobody will ever see again. That's not going to work anymore.
If you are a Democrat who believes in opportunity, dignity and democracy for all — but you don't hate rich people, cops, free enterprise, the West, Israel and the United States of America - I'm talking to you!

Look I went to the Democratic caucus in Pueblo, Colorado this year--a party faithful event that is so arcane that people don't even know it happens and exists. These ARE the people who knock doors. These are the volunteers. Anyway, so many of them were upset with the Democratic Party.

A high school friend who was my first friend who I knew was trans gave me some advice when I hatched... she'd been like, 20 years in by then. And it was to, to the greatest extent possible, not think about or worry about "passing". She did but also she started young and more in the old days.

The number is actually 97.1% if you include the little shuffling around between nonbinary and binary identities that happened, but it is *remarkable* how rock-steady at 97-98% youth trans self-identification is. Believe kids when they tell you they're trans!!

I think one of the things various anti-trans hysteria by conservatives reveals is the degree to which they just don't think that kids are separate people with their own thoughts and agency instead of just like, extensions of themselves that they can program.

I usually say something about "I'd hoped to hate my body less" and, maybe; that's a goal though. I think that once I figured it out, it was too obvious to deny. I mean, medical transition or not was a detail but, to my way of thinking, some sort of transition was inevitable as sunrise.

Look, I'm an engineer, so "how to do this" is not my area", but my political philosophy boils down to "flatten privilege" and "something like a government is the only thing big enough to counter feudalism / oligarchies / etc" It cuts through a lot of bullshit being able to define things like that.

ok so for my cis pals, a small and insufficiently academic primer: The myth that trans women are men who are sexually aroused by wearing women's clothing and wishing to pass as women comes from a deeply debunked quack form the 80s. It got the name "Autogynophilia" as one of the paraphilias.

A lot of feelings this morning about the accessibility of gender affirming surgeries. Like, I'm doing pretty OK, I have a STEM career I'm a decade and a half into, I was able to swing a house back before rates went ridiculous. Not bragging, just perspective. ... GAS is out of reach for me.

What's gutting about this is that Juniper seems to have had a family who supported and loved her, she was in a community that has been explicitly welcoming to trans people, and a man still murdered her. She was living the life so many trans people can only dream of, and it simply didn't matter.

A friend always makes me think of a James Baldwin quote - "It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here.” Not that I have the same stuff internalized they do.

Dropped kid off with my folks today, out with my wife for a few errands. We actually went to one of the local towns. Truck drives past (down main street) after we go through a crosswalk, shouting "WHOA WHAT THE FUCK". Me: "Wait, did we just get catcalled? No wait, the other thing."

The overriding goal of America's right wing is to restore chattel slavery so they can own Black people. That's it. Whether they will admit it or not, whether they'll even admit it to themselves, their goal is legal domination and subjugation through violence of Black people. Everything leads there.
