New pinned! Hi, I'm Emi. Paladin lover, TTRPG reviewer, and pro GM specializing in games with fairy tale energy.

Trans, abolitionist, disability justice centered, even/especially when I'm talking about games.

TTRPG folks—drop an intro! Say hi! Always open to new friends & collaborators.

as always I could schedule them to send at a reasonable hour. but that would require time zone math and also giving a damn. it's an asynchronous medium, who cares

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.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

Abuse of disabled people in immigration detention is a longstanding issue and it's escalating very fast right now. (Shoutout to orgs like Disability Rights CA, our state protection and advocacy organization, for fighting to get into ICE facilities.)

Ruth Delgado @heylookitsruth.bsky.social · 3d

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

A gentle reminder: If this goal is not met, we will be homeless.

I am an Indigenous person that's been through utter hell in the last two years. I am disabled and queer. Despite being marginalized, I'm the one having to carry the burden of finances. It has been extremely difficult.

Anything helps.

Happy Indigenous People’s Day, I’m a Borikén Taíno creative who is the only income and trying to keep a roof over mine and my partner’s heads.

The last almost two years have been extremely difficult, and many Indigenous people like me live below the poverty line.
