As a writer, I believe genAI removes the *joy* from creating art and strangles the introspection and growth it provides.
It's also one of the most environmentally devastating uses of the underlying hardware.

Urgh. I don’t even have huge hips but I do have a hip dip that can make them look bigger and it’s like the one thing I can’t really fix. I could get body masculinization surgery but I’ve never considered that as an option. I mean my hips will always be there and I’m not sure it’s even permanent. I just need to work out and manage my weight to try and keep from drawing attention to them.

Uneducated, on trans masc struggles, trans fems will basically say how easy we have it because testosterone takes care of everything. For many trans mascs that is far from true anyways, but here I am a guy that between T and my genes and natural height have been very lucky, and I still get misgendered on the phone and I will always have hips, even after I’m done with surgery.

Sigh. Anyways, no matter how many surgeries and how successful hormones on your body, it seems there will always be something.

Overall I’m thrilled with what T has and and all my surgeries have done. I’m a guy, I look like a guy, feel like a guy, am a guy, but I still struggle almost 12 years in.

The roaming US #ExtremeRight is now successfully attempting to penalize #transidentity and any #activism in favor of #lgbtqia #rights. The most compationate attitude a #transgender person can expect from them is to be considered mentally ill and necessitating #conversiontherapy, which is nothing less than grave violations of basic #humanrights. While the #trump regime seems to be targeting only a tiny minority, their criteria will soon look a lot more wide-ranging.

The *what* is mad!? WTF are you *talking* about?

The "intellectual right" does not even make sense syntactically.

The main thing I learned from the Claude Code leak is that they plan to go out of business before anyone has to maintain it

Sickle cell disease has just been cured for the first time in New York

yeah sex is good and all but have you had a partner say you’re cute for something past shitty partners mocked you for so hid it and now you’re experiencing real love and acceptance for the first time so you finally can let down the mask and heal?

So, there’s a lot going on. Pam #Bondi has been thrown on the sacrificial pyre, so that’s fun. Tel Aviv was pounded by #Iran, and the US media isn’t reporting it. The president of these united states has lost any semblance of rationality, and an abandoned Victorian doll haunted by the souls of unrepentant nazis (Stephen miller) is our shadow president.

But I want to talk about Byron #Noem. And here’s why. I’m deeply uncomfortable with how “our” side is dealing with this. This was our chance to shine. We should have been out here saying that as kinks go, cross dressing is pretty fucking vanilla.

We should have used this as a chance for pushing acceptance. Yes, Kristi Noem is a monster who signed anti LGBTQ laws as a governor, and who had the audacity to lecture us while she was mile-high clubbing on tax dollars.

But we have the opportunity here to be the moral actors. If you are an ally, don’t let the right use this to further demonize #LGBTQA, or kinks for that matter.

This is actually what the zero covid community has been doing with respirator masks. You cannot avoid it as the path forward if actual prevention is the way through the whitewater. You can and should focus on indoor air quality. You can and should implement things like far-UVC (as long as you ventilate the ozone). But these are solutions to ambient aerosols, not the aerosols your coworker is breathing directly into your face. The short-range problem is only solvable by respirator use.
