#writingPride 6/10. Free space for queer characters.

Being bi myself, writing bi characters has always been my easy way out. And because I write female presenting characters almost exclusively, that means women with women is the culturally "non-standard" option. (Language is stupidly awkward at times.)

So deciding to write a lesbian MC was a very deliberate decision, which is how Miralees from the "Dragons of the Wounded Land" series, came about. It's also why I decided to make sure I wasn't doing anything stupid so had the books read by a lesbian writer friend (not here on Mastodon).

Her only comment was "moooaar romance!".

So yeah, Miralees knows she's different but not why until she falls for Daria in a big way very suddenly. And is somewhat horrified by what happens. (She gets over the shock quickly, and over Daria eventually.)

I was reading https://prosody.im/doc/turn and thought about trying to set up coturn but discovered it is slopware.

Whenever a person delegates a decision to an #LLM, they are trying to off-load accountability for that decision, and if a company that sells an LLM portrays the product as having a moral center, it is offering a way for its customers to abdicate their responsibilities.

. . . Off-loading tasks such as writing code might result in cognitive atrophy over the long term, and that is problematic in itself, but off-loading ethical decisions will result in an atrophy of moral reasoning, which is worse.

#Les3BonheursDuJour du 10 juin. 🌧️

• Une première nuit de sommeil, à peu près complète, depuis longtemps ;
• Trois pivoines énormes, au détour d'une ruelle ;
• Des heures à fignoler un projet de fond d'écran, projet parfaitement inutile, mais qui m'amuse beaucoup :
