Hey, I’m Emmett and I write queer horror. My debut novel is From the Belly, and I co-created Let Me Out with George Williams.
I’m also the Narrative director & cofounder of Perfect Garbage Studios, where we’re making Grave Seasons. 🔪

I am already falling in love with every alt NPC in Grave Seasons, the upcoming farming sim that ranks at number 24 in our Most Wanted games list
A supernatural killer is on the loose but I'm more caught up about who I'm going to be romancing.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

the fact that doing this gets rid of the default separate inboxes is fucking infuriating
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

So, this thread--particularly @lizthegrey.com's useful explanation of how the relevant databases actually work--is worth reading in response to the Erin in the Morning story that's terrifying our community today.

I'm sharing this bit for folks in my specific situation (F on my passport which is correct, got it changed during the Biden admin):
"For those who updated their passports before this administration, any attempt to revoke those documents would be far more complicated. [...]" (1/2)
"For those who updated their passports before this administration, any attempt to revoke those documents would be far more complicated. [...]" (1/2)
The intent, for anyone paying attention, is clearly to revoke trans peoples’ passports and then refuse to issue new ones, keeping us captive and on a state extermination list.
