There is not a single reason to outsource your creativity to a computer.

Not one.

To do so removes the very point of being creative in the first place.

Another reason to support your local drag queens is because you might get your local news from them.

First person POV works best when you spent most of the time in the character’s head.

40 years ago today.

The opening panel of Watchmen, with an entry from Rorschach's journal dated October 12, 1985. "Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face."

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Diane Keaton gave a great performance in one of the most psychologically distressing episodes of Rod Serling’s Night Gallery. “Room with a View.”

Diane Keaton in a white nurse dress holds a small gun given to her by a white man in a bed.

once again i cannot emphasize enough that transphobia is almost entirely an elite panic. the overwhelming majority of people simply do not care—it is media and political elites who are obsessed with us and keep bending over backwards to justify and spread transphobia.

Nicole DeWitt @catastro-v.bsky.social · 7d

the idea that trans rights have swung elections to republicans is a fiction made up by media and political elites (both conservative and liberal) who are personally transphobic and want transphobia to be politically popular so they no longer have to hide how disgusting they think trans people are
