Hello! I'm October/Toby/Selachii, a menace. Sometimes posemaker, sometimes colourset fiddler, mostly write, RP, gpose, and obsess over housing. Maybe even draw. Oh, and yell.

lrp very important addendum, "learn to laugh at yourself" does not mean "relentlessly self-deprecate". a person that can accept their own foibles with grace is charming. a person that is always putting themselves down is exhausting

a solid 30% of my job is making sure people know:
- you don’t have to let assholes into your event or bar
- you don’t have to talk to assholes especially if they are filming you
- you don’t have to accept assholes in your civic org
- you don’t have to take assholes’ bad-faith inquiries seriously

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 23h

you have the right to not hang out with assholes. you deserve not to hang out with assholes. you are under 0 obligation to socially interact with assholes in your free time.

it is truly terrible that our culture tricked so many people into thinking that they’re obliged to be friends with assholes!

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 23h

we have spent the last decade witnessing a national epidemic of “it should be illegal to not hang out with me just because I’m a mean asshole” behavior

The rhetoric that purposes to be against "watering down the term transgender" is watering down the term colonization. Labels being fluid and used differently by different queer people is not the same thing as a people invading another people and stealing their land/condemning their way of life

Luis @loosf.bsky.social · 2d

"the transgender community has been colonized by cissexual nonbinaries"

Jesus fuck what

the concept of being transgender has largely been colonized by cissexual nonbinary people. the concept of polyamory has largely been colonized by swingers. is there anything you people won't take over and make about yourselves.

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

This Indigenous Peoples Day please speak up: another typhoon sweeping away homes of Alaska's Natives, who, during settlement (statehood: 1948) were forced to end ways of life (like my Grandma's) involving mobility across regions & stuck them in flood-prone/unstable villages with housing deficits.

There's a reason my police abolitionism is often expressed as "I don't call the cops because I don't want someone to roll up six hours later and shoot my dog" to folks I'm trying to warm up to the concept.

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 2d

I have long believed that we should be WAY more vocal about how police and ICE constantly murder dogs, and I think this is great messaging actually.

The reality is that you can mobilize a whole lot of usually tuned-out Americans around a “someone is being mean to hecking doggos” cause.
