I've deleted my NaNoWriMo account. They not only have a generative 'AI' sponsor, they're defending letting you use AI to plaigiarise yourself to 50,000 on the basis that disabled people need AI.

I have a cognitive disability that makes it very difficult for me to write and I am FURIOUS.

Make no mistake, it is very fucking ableist to use people like me as a shield when you are STEALING FROM PEOPLE LIKE ME. They are the ableist ones here. https://www.404media.co/nanowrimo-ai-policy-classist-ableist/

I transitioned during a time when trans expression was kept at a minimum and only within trusted people. I'm glad to see that that has changed, for the most part. But as a reminder..

Trans people can be proud of their body.
Trans people can be attention whores.
Trans people can post all the selfies they want.
Trans people can like sex and be open about it.
Trans people can date or form friendships with who they want without shame.
Trans people are human. 🏳️‍⚧️

Meet the Orion Video System. It’s an advanced new software application that turns your iPad into an HDMI monitor.

We had a ton of fun making this. From unboxing (yes, really) to CRT emulation, to custom VCR OSD style typefaces. Get it now — it’s free. http://orion.tube
