Be wary of those who insist on "debate" or "discussion" when someone's civil rights are on the table. There's no debate to be had; trans women are women, trans men are men, anyone with a uterus gets to decide what grows in it or not, and the state has no place in the bedrooms of consenting adults.

I made a meme because of the sheer number of craft companies using AI in their photos, promos, and patterns lately and then being shocked that artists and crafters are angry about it. Please enjoy and spread around.

Screencap from Monty Python's spam routine in which the waitress says, "It's not got much spam in it," but changed to "It's not got much AI in it" with the waitress tagged as CraftInc and text at the top that says, "When you complain to a craft company that's using genAI in their patterns/promos:"
