While I'm not quite at the point of losing my house, the harm ai has done to my animation work income is huge, like 80% gone and it makes me wonder how many freelance artists and animators ARE losing everything while billionaire con men continue to rake it in.

Also this, of course! If women are defined by the production of large gametes, the production of large gametes quickly comes to define women. Feminism once argued that biology was not destiny; the anti-trans movement insists that it is. bsky.app/profile/jack...
If you are arguing that what essentially makes you a woman is your reproductive capacity, then it’s real easy to slide into the “you must reproduce” logic.

There are plenty of links between the anti-trans “women’s rights” movement & anti-feminist conservatism. And opposing abortion is a logical conclusion for a movement that says no, you should not have agency over your own body; no, you do not know best about yourself; no, you have no choice.
No way I’m sharing Stock’s UnHerd article. But I am going to point to this bit which amply demonstrates the anti-trans=>anti-women’s rights pipeline. “Abortions should only be done for a highly restricted set of reasons. They should not be just nodded through for any reason a pregnant woman likes.”

It takes 225 million years or so for the Solar System to make one orbit around the galaxy. Sharks evolved long enough ago that they’ve done it twice.
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

Ok Bluesky, let’s give this a go: I found this postcard in the back of a photo frame I bought at a London thrift shop.
It’s an unsent postcard from a woman called Linda to her parents. The front shows the Kremlin in Moscow and the stamp says 1984 (!).
I’d love to return it to Linda - can you help?

When I say that terfism has, as one of its core tenets, the belief that trans people didn't exist before about 2012, it sounds like a joke, but it's literally true. Nothing makes sense without that underlying, trivially false principle.

*Insert City* is serviced by 4 different bus companies, none of which honor the regional travel tickets of the other? Why would they.
I'll be out £40 a month if I don't swap my electric tariff to a company that didn't exist 3 months ago and won't exist in 5 years? Naturally.
