I don't know how many times to point out that is absolutely ghoulish and non-consensual and disgusting behavior.
To exploit the image of a dead woman who was also exploited in real life so you can live out your momentary fantasies of "what is possible" with AI is bad science journalism, also.
Sick.

They're always quick to say #notallmen, but are happy to throw all trans people under the bus.

This sequence of posts sums it up, really. Men are the problem - cis men, who don’t need to change anything about themselves to do harm - but trans people are the scapegoat because tackling men would require a total dismantling of societal structure.

A story about the former Premier League referee David Coote admitting making an indecent image of a child, followed by a story about trans people being at risk of exclusion from many UK public spaces

If ICE comes to your home, do not open the door without a warrant. Stay calm. Documented or not, you do have rights.

The earnestness of “Roofman” won me over. Yes, it’s a heist film. Yes, there’s a rom-dramedy element. But more than anything, the way this film wears its heart on its sleeve deeply moved me. Full review on the Female Gaze: The Film Club website!

Why should we respect people who hate folks for existing just because they’re uncomfortable and actively wish for or work towards their death

Kiera Knightley sounds like a BlueSky moderator

Keira Knightley said that before joining the voice cast of Audible's "Harry Potter: The Full Cast Audio
Editions,
" she was "not aware" of the fan boycott
of all things "Harry Potter" over J.K. Rowling's statements about the transgender community:
"You know, I think we're all living in a period of time right now where we're all going to have to figure out how to live together, aren't we? And we've all got very different opinions. I hope that we can all find respect."

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

We say goodbye to iconic actress Diane Keaton.

A true original of the silver screen, the Oscar-winning screen legend stole our hearts with her quirky charm and took our breath away with her bold choices as a searing dramatic actress.

Our thoughts are with her family and friends.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
