@demongrrl.gay showed me the promo for the NZ women's firefighter calendar and... idk I'm pretty sure this thing *starts* fires. 🔥🔥🔥

Exceedingly hot women firefighters baring midrifts in firefighter pants

Our last one took ~25 days to go through. On the plus side, we did multiple payouts and they all got sent out at once, once the oldest one went through.

BBC's own analysis of multiple AIs show significant issues in over half of the responses, making them unreliable to use with news. (h/t @octonion256.bsky.social)

Right? I'm reminded of another trans woman who tried to say that watching YuYu Hakusho is okay, even when I shared frames from the show that included *SA of a trans woman*. Like just stop and think for a moment gah

I figured not but why anyone would comment on hot women reading books like that is beyond me.

Going ahead and muting this, but I'm glad it resonated with y'all.

Remember to support trans folks while you're at it ☺️

Folks - if you're the type of lesbian that says stuff like this to our transhet sisters, cut it out. You can not like men, that's fine. But you don't get to weaponise your dislike and use it against other women.

May “Bunny” Peterson 🦄 (Mostly Updates ) @goddessblade.bsky.social · 15h

I am so sick of getting comments like about my sexuality.

It’s transphobic, homophobic, and misogynistic and I’ve tolerated a LOT of this kind of attitude from other queer and trans people. Utterly ridiculous.

Someone quote posting me talking about being transhet saying “Incomprehensible: to depart the Gender of Atrocity only to bend over for it afterwards.”

Yes, that too! The right people do. Things like info-dumping will be welcomed by the right people.

But like I say, we should also always be growing. Making sure others also have space to share what they're into, just as one example.

thanks!

Getting better...

Now when I catch a glimpse at my reflection I'll think "there's a woman coming into her power"

Let me tell you - I'm so here for it.

A post that tries to be upbeat about a very real future of waste caused by genAI. The hopefulness of this post reads to be all the more bleak of likely outcomes:

Looking at my tabs, this is due an update.

First up, AI is actually far less popular than folks might guess.

Artificial intelligence dominates headlines, but new evidence shows most people barely use it in daily life. Researchers examined real-world web behavior and found low rates of AI use, often linked to...

In less than 3 weeks, I'll officially be moving to Quebec. And I'm still raising money for moving expenses and tuition. Anything you can spare would really help.

What makes for good lesbian romance? WEREWOLVES, duh. @sadhbhgirl.bsky.social joined me for a romp through her new novel "The Wolf Bane." We talk the healing power of dark humor, researching werewolves, crafting character studies, and of course, lesbians!
