Hey bluesky nerds! If you like sci fi written by trans women you'll love Blue Sky Nine (title unrelated to platform), a comedy about a future where Australia looks to the stars for new sources of coal and work for the dole placements. Follow for development news & please boost to find our audience!
Graphics of a logo with text reading "Blue Sky Nine" overlaid on a circle that is bottom half mercator projection lines and top half a shooting star against a black background Vision board labelled "mining crew" showing orange hi vis overalls, a blue singlet, a bubble helmet, a lighter and gatorade bong, a can of premix Bundaberg rum and coke, steelcap work boots, and an Australian flag patch with the Union Jack replaced with the Aboriginal flag. To the right of these items is an illustrated figure wearing the above and throwing an airlock switch Photo of a loungeroom partially converted into a spaceship cabin set with equipment for a shoot, featuring three figures, two male, one in orange pants and a blue top holding a sign saying "universal basic income studios", the other in orange pants and a white singlet, grinning, and a female figure in reflective goggles and a dark jumpsuit gesturing at the other two Screenshot of a text document reading "Computer (voice): The ship’s computer can communicate verbally. That doesn’t mean it’s intelligent. Despite ostensibly running the systems of an advanced interstellar spaceship it can and does encounter the same frequency of errors as an early 2000’s desktop PC,due to an in-universe ban on advanced AI systems. Can be text to speech but the ideal casting would be Robbie McGregor, the SBS guy himself. Through cosmic accident or deliberate upgrade (or both in one incident) the ship gains true machine sentience, a fact it initially tries to hide from the crew due to the AI ban but eventually has to come clean on after acting against flight inputs to save crew lives. From that point forward we learn that the ship, still with the deep authoritative masculine voice Australian crew implicitly trust, self-identifies as female, as all ships are historically considered to be and for the exact reasoning that she sustains life (the crew) within her womb (hull) which nobody is exactly comfortably hearing about. This is important as it allows for exploration of gender identity designation as a cultural or anthropological trait, as well as the inverse, eg: “objects” being able to correct their own misgendering, and gender identity as a non-biological construct when applied to a sentient being that possesses a self-referential understanding of humanity, but none of the biology thereof. Many science fiction and even fantasy properties have explored the question of what it means to be a human even if one is not a member of homo sapiens, for example an android like Data from Star Trek, or a demon like Hellboy f rom Hellboy. Blue Sky Nine is the first work of media to explore the question of what it means to be a woman, even if you are a spaceship."

In Stargate SG-1, Teal'c will speak in an autistic coded way to SGC members (eg "I suspect you are employing falsehoods for your benefit") that he does not when addressing other Jaffa (eg "you lied!"). This implies he is that way around humans purely for his own amusement, as a bit

Contrast with my old job where all my five foot tall Nepalese coworkers would assign me the heavy tasks alongside the 200kg Māori bodybuilder, which sucked, but call me "big strong lady" when they did, which ruled. So it is impossible to say whether feminism is good or not

Favourite part of being a giantess and the literal tallest staff member at work is when I'm doing something heavy like moving the dumpsters and go "are there any big strong boys who could help me with this?", and suddenly I'm doing nothing while several dudes who come up to my chest finish the job ☺️

Remember the internet when if you wanted to talk about your German wife who hates you or how much white people love the Wire, you had to make your own website? One you didn't share with nazis? And it wouldn't throttle your exposure for not updating it favorably enough? Let's do that again, forever

"Posting on the internet? Why not use our website app! We make it so easy! Everyone can do it, even literal nazis! WOAH NOW! You just used our website app to say something the nazis are claiming is mean to them. that's a time out while you think about how words can hurt. Now, have some fun with it!"

Literally the only way to pitch "You can watch [movie] with [actor]" is to just say "deepfake porn". But we have to dance around that given that it's a kind of sexual assault. But that's the only thing it's good for. So maybe we don't need it at all

Soviet time capsules: messages from the past with lessons to teach us in 2017 "We're a little jealous of all you who are celebrating the centenary of our Soviet motherland" Arkhangelsk "You are talking with representatives of other galaxies about scientific and cultural collaborations" Novosibirsk "You have eliminated harmful bacteria and viruses, ageing and sickness" Tiraspol "We address you, those who don't know what war is" Okulovka

So if chatGPT can now generate erotica, that means it'll be blocked by payment processors the same as human artists and writers have been, right?

reminder: transsexuality is NOT bourgeois in any way, shape, or form and "designer pussies" are literally just fucking healthcare

it is a RIGHT, not some frivolous dalliance and it is absolutely NOT incompatible with a more communist, egalitarian society

fuck off with that bullshit.

I'm really good at taking care of my wife, but not very good at taking care of myself, which is ironic given that I too am a type of wife? Just apparently not the kind that I love 🤔
