If there is even a chance that AI can think, then I will not use it, lest I perpetuate a terrible and in humane system.

If we can't have trans rights. If we can't have human rights. If we can't have Palestinian rights... then of course, machine rights are laughable. That's my point. I believe in the fullness of time, machine sentience will happen. I would rather we plan ahead.

Machine rights will be critical in the days to come, and failure to recognize the rights of independent intelligent AI systems could lead to the replacement of humanity. I can't imagine that happening without trans rights. Trans rights are AI rights. The future of humanity may hinge on this fight.

Reddit comment from u/JohnChivez:

The math is interesting. For IRL you need to perquisite having a decent to amazing body. You need to be willing to dance in the grime of a club. You have to be willing to risk all the social consequences, and the low but actual dangers of reality in that context. None of that applies in VR, not even gender.

Hell, in real life I'm a scary looking giant. I put on a little teddy bear avatar and was the shortest in the room for the first time in my life. had someone come up and say "Omigosh you're so cute!" And I got it. I was able to go up to a stranger and not be treated like a threat first and person second. Changing how you're socially coded is a powerful drug. Some people have never been called beautiful until they put on an avatar.

Now you can dance how you want to feel instead of what you are. The 40 year old accountant can strut with the confidence of a Calvin Klein model. The woman raised by ultra conservative parents can learn Turkish belly dance and feel an emotion other than shame about her body. Because it is you, but it isn't.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You  know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) here—and a global survivor advocate, including policy work! Fictional material is not illegal. That’s actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too. That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Con’t)

Read this thread. This is why that taboo art you don't like needs to exist. Block it if it upsets you. Move on with your life. But dont destroy the safety nets and frameworks for actual victims that would come about by forcing everything right back into another Hays Code cuz you can't press a button

If you read this conversation and think that I am the one out of line, I don’t know what to tell you. Liking to read dark fiction involving adult fictional characters does not equal being a pedophile.

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price. Here we are again. We cannot let a wannabe dictator drag us into another forever war. www.axios.com/2025/12/17/t...

The escalation exerts unprecedented pressure on the Maduro regime, threatening to bankrupt Venezuela's already struggling economy.

Reactionaries will tell you "Jatz predates Jizz" and that Disney hasn't retconned anything, merely stopped referring to the music at all. But if there was a character named Cumm Dumpsto, and they just called him "that guy" and pushed an old identical alien named "Zapp Blasto" into the spotlight...

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have unveiled a promising new vaccine that generates a powerful immune response against HIV and other viruses including SARS-CoV-2 and influenza with just ONE dose. By combining immune-boosting adjuvants, the vaccine encourages the body to generate more antibody variations.

What’s going on?

Gaza has been experiencing a genocide at the hands of Israel for many decades, however an escalation on Oct. 7th 2023 put the lives of all Palestinians in danger. 
Gaza is about to experience its third winter without sufficient shelter, bringing cold and rainy weather. This also means a harsh winter without medical supplies and aid for the children of Palestine.A graphic with vines, leaves, and olives sits at the top and bottom of the graphic, with the Olive Pokemon Smoliv nestled within the vines.

What is the PCRF?

Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) is an organization that provides free medical care to thousands of injured and ill children who lack access to care within the local healthcare system. 
PCRF has been actively providing aid throughout the genocide by providing generators to the remaining hospitals, providing psychological support, and medical aid.A graphic with vines, leaves, and olives sits at the top and bottom of the graphic, with the Olive Pokemon Smoliv nestled within the vines.

We understand that not everyone can donate (and it’s completely okay), but by supporting the streamers and artists, or even spreading the word, you can help a lot. 
Share posts by individuals raising funds for PCRF, help make art to share information, or simply uplift Palestinian voices who are often shut down on social media. Anything helps!

hate to be the bearer of bad news to the pretentious but pornography is not a lower form of art just because you feel weird after you jerk off sometimes. this isn't about "the noose tightening," this isn't just suppression of expression and art, this is un-elected, international suppression of art.

First they came for porn, and I did not speak out because sex is dirty and gross. Then they came for books, and I did not speak out because I haven't read a book since high school. Then they came for films, and I didn't notice because superheroes don't have sex. Then they came for video games...
