I don't even know what to say about @aaron.bsky.team announcing that actually they feed all images posted on Bsky into an AI that just a year ago they told everyone they had banned from using Bsky images

You Really don't need to have a take. You Need to stop fedposting. The things you say can endanger the people you associate with. Go touch grass.

Hey! I'm currently working on a piece about recent/upcoming trans horror novels/novellas. Do you have a trans horror book that was published in 2024-2025 or is due for release next year? Please drop it in the replies. (Also feel free to shout out friends or your personal favorite reads.)

leave doomsplaining in the past 2025
Half the time I post something related to race on this website I get someone in the comments like, “yeah america is a racist country what do you expect.” I’m starting to think folks like this are bots or ops designed to make people feel helpless. Think we should call it “doomsplaining”
I do not care that you are not “surprised.” Please. You have no idea how tiresome it is when you post that something horrible, fascist, authoritarian is “not surprising.” Nothing is “surprising” anymore. But a lot of it is horrible and frightening. Let’s deal with it together.

I’m just so fucking sick of being told that we deserve to lose our rights because a few trans people are mean online. Regardless of what you believe about the tone of online criticism, this rationale is disgustingly patronizing and dehumanizing. It’s quite literally cis feelings over trans lives.

Burnout is clinically understood as a combo of 6 factors—work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown in community, absence of fairness, & value conflicts—and only a fraction of it is under your control. Burnout is a systemic problem, so be kind to yourself and hard on the system.
Hey gang I've had to learn recently that the whole "burning out" thing is real so if you find yourself being panicked every waking second that you're not working on something, despite those seconds being very rare, you should maybe listen to the signals and take an intentional break before you crash

The workers are not being paid. It is all going to distributors, increasingly.
Ex-farm worker here.
We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.
Not true AT ALL.
Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.
The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.
At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.
