I'm ace-spec and sex-ambivalent and sometimes I look for media that doesn't have sex in it and I haaate the word "clean" being applied to said media like can we please normalize a word for "no sexual content" that doesn't moralize sex as "dirty"🙃

We do need more reviews but unfortunately review publications pay dust like literally you can work a minimum wage job and earn more per hour compared to what you earn as a reviewer when you divide the flat fee they pay you by hours spent reading the book+writing the review.🥹

Shenwei interviewed me last week for Taiwanese American Heritage Week! This is the first time someone has asked me about what went into creating the Cylian language on the page, a process which I was all too happy to nerd out about.

Hey guys- White nationalists have helped a white woman in Minnesota raise $300k after she was filmed calling a five-year-old Black child the n-word. The local NAACP chapter is fundraising for the boy and his family to get legal help. The least we could do is out-fundraise the nazis. Donate here:

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

I don't mind doing things for others, but I do kind of resent the idea that the only way I can have value to others is through my labor... I can't just be a person who has value period. But it's nearly impossible to escape that in the capitalist and ableist society we live in.
