Square. Circle. Triangle. (Lin Yung Cheng)

Taiwanese photographer Yung Cheng Lin aka 3cm investigates the concept of femininity in a critical and provocative way.

"The freedom to enjoy your body and feel good for what you are or have is still a mirage that somehow steals the female identity to instead offer a false promise of respect and love. In this series of images, the body draws incomplete or imperfect geometries as if it were forcing itself to respect rules that do not characterize it."

“A Dutch court has ordered X and its AI chatbot Grok to immediately stop generating non-consensual sexualized imagery and child pornographic material in the Netherlands, imposing a penalty of €100,000 per day on each defendant for non-compliance.”

Good.

I’m not trans. As far as I know, my kids aren’t at the moment. Nobody in my family is. None of my good friends are. I don’t prescribe medication for gender affirming care. I don’t specifically treat folks for gender dysphoria. So why do I give a fuck?

You don’t punch down. There’s no transgender machine producing trans judiciary and trans politicians and trans PACs to come for my cisgender. There are trans folks being discriminated against, outed, beaten, jailed, and killed. I hate bullies.

Great news in the fight against Big Tech bullies!
