Being out is powerful. It makes others safer, if you can be.

This is thirty years now since I began my journey. Next year will be the anniversary of my legal documents!

Never let them to you we're caricatures.
Never let them tell you we didn't exist before.
Keep learning.

#TransDayOfVisibility

A trans flag, with the soft blue, pink, white, pink, blue, horizontal stripes representing the transition in gender with white for nonbinary in the middle. It waves in front of a blue sky and the Santa Cruz clock tower on the trans day of visibility 2019.

All the Gear, All the time. A diagonal framed photo of a woman in full protective gear on an electric motorcycle a used 2014 Zero model S. She is celebrating getting her motorcycle endorsement in 2020. The bike is gloss and matte black with a white hoof-print motif on the tank. Her gloves and boots are black, while her jacket is cream mesh while her baggy overpants are a desaturated tan. She has a shoulder bag in many color patches worn cross chest, and her helmet has a stars and stripes and checkered flag motif in neon colors.

Totally have been there.

Oooh, transparency.

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 3h

True.

The fact that you can build these black boxes to be more transparent - but that costs time and money - so they don't. It's a pain.

This is why regulation is so much more important.

That's not how LLMs work.

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 3h

Depending upon the model, it does do secondary thinking to confirm the first order LLM bs... It can.

But the most the LLMs are trained, the more they have the answer already in that first order bs.

Me too. I'd read all the material early in the class and then glide the rest of the way.

The bots aren't doing it 'with access' it's doing it with memory of being on the internet.

Which basically means it's just BSing its way through the test.

That sort of halving would be a horse-satyr or silenoi, as opposed to a centaur.

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 23h

Did not know that books existed.

And I've seen that! And I cheered them on!

Generally, it's because there's no way to prove such a thing because no mechanism exists to do it; aside gerrymandering and voter suppression.

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 1d

It even messed with the texture of the hat and clothes, too.

None of the money in the defense act can be spent without a budget.

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 1d

...And there we go. Moving the goalposts, Murc's law, and then doing the bigots' work.

All you had to do was not lie.

We've gone from no protections to many in the last thirty years and you... Erased all that work. Erased even what was done last year.

Which makes me think... You aren't honest.

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 1d

Nonono.

You don't get to change your argument.

You said they stood by and did nothing in a period that, in the real world, they advanced trans rights.

Which disingenuous argument will you switch to next before I block you?

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 1d

You keep doing this spammer troll BS where you break the thread.

Thread your replies, and actually read them. I already answered your disingenuous question.

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 1d

Do you even know how many bills my governor vetoed this session? Of course not.

Do you know all the bad things the feds are doing? Of course not.

We have to get our message through this filter of people who agree, disagree, and don't even want to listen and hope a tiny sliver makes it through.

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 1d

Ahh, moving the goalposts from 'they backslide' (they didn't) to 'why did they let it happen' (they didn't) to...

'Us' you say while you show you're completely ignorant about trans rights, trans history, and well, civics: Anyone can say they're any party.

Ahh, yes, online troll providing zero solidarity is totally going to help.

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 1d

...If that's a problem, add some shelf liner.

I assume everyone will have their own solutions. You could put pockets on the door; a duffel to hold things; velcro straps to hold them together.

Best to be bare and let everyone make their own!

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 1d

It's always good to remember progress ^-^

...And sometimes edge cases people didn't think of at the time to make sure rules are updated.

Hat bans have to do with old politeness.

It's not longer legal to ban beanies and tooks with minimal ornamentation, due to ADA case law.

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 1d

That only happens if they're searching feeds with that turned on.

It doesn't notify them about replies to others' threads by default. Only your own threads (and it just consolidates that entry)

Why can't we change this per post?

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 1d

Why do you think it's the opposite over the last ten years, since the Obama Admin did all it could to reverse the reductions of the W Bush Admin, we got a ton new rights; then the Biden Admin removed and challenged all of the changes the Trump Admin did.

Why are you spouting this absolutely dreck?

Crissa @crissakentavr.bsky.social · 1d

Thank you for an actual answer!
