...Assumption #4 has been driving me batshit, yet no one seems to realize it: if you're worried trans ppl might potentially harm your Dem candidate's chances, then YOUR CANDIDATE MADE A BAD DECISION! so why not join us in trying to get them to reverse position? juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...

screenshot from linked-to essay that reads:
Assumption #4: The elephant in the room that no one is talking about
There is a striking disconnect between Talarico, Turek, et al. — who have clearly made a political calculation that abandoning trans rights will help them more than it will hurt them in this election — and the many cisgender liberals I’ve encountered online who are absolutely freaking out over the possibility that trans people’s critiques and protests will ultimately tank said candidates.
Both of these things cannot simultaneously be true!
If you think your favorite candidate enacted the correct political strategy, then there is no reason to berate trans people for protesting it, as those protests should already be baked into your candidate’s calculations. So why are you berating trans people then? (Unless, of course, you enjoy berating trans people just for the sake of it.)
Alternatively, if you think trans people *are* capable of tanking your favorite candidate via our criticisms and protests, doesn’t that imply that your candidate (and their consultants and strategists) totally fucked up in their political calculations here? And if they did fuck up, shouldn’t you be reaching out and complaining to *them* (rather than berating trans people), in the hope that they might reverse their bad decision?

When I was a kid I used to draw swords. This design stuck with me. I am an untrained artist, but it's still satisfying and refreshing to make something yourself once in a while. #Swordtember #Art #NoAI

A line art drawing of an elegant sword that looks like a combination between a sabre and a falchion, with a basket hilt and a blue gem on the crossguard.

A drawing of an elegant sword that looks like a combination between a sabre and a falchion, with a basket hilt. The blade has a damascus texture, the grip is light brown leather, the guard has a gold texture, and there is a blue gem on the crossguard.

So much this. A lot of AI doomer talk is PR for AI companies, and like most PR, it's absolute bullshit. The real danger of AI is not some future Skynet apocalypse. It's right now. AI psychosis and the resulting enshittification of everything as it gets handed over to incompetent chatbots.

You ever notice that "Elon" backwards is "Nole" which, as we all know, is a town in the Land of Oz, from Baum's novel, "Queen Zixi of Ix" Zixi is an old evil witch, who looks 16 years old and is constantly deceiving the protagonist of the book, Bud, a synonym of friend, which explains why Elon is...

As folks gear up for the new semester, a reminder if anyone needs it, my Ai statement is available for people to make use of in their own materials. It’s downloadable and printable from my site here spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-sy...

a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - for that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.

Yes! Even in a game with a big power imbalance: GMs: Trust the other people at the table and make space! Players: Prioritize the game and the other people! It doesn't have to be your top priority (family first and all) but show them that you want to be there and you want them there too!
