Hi, hello, hey!

It’s time for an intro post for anyone new here!

I’m El, aka AmethystPandora Teabun extraordinaire and parent to Peanut.

Things that are none negotiable to me, trans rights are human rights, feminism should include trans people, not being racist isn’t enough, we need anti racism!
Sunday bunday!

It’s been a soggy weekend here, so somebunny has been making the most of gaps in the rainy weather to eat as much grass as possible.

It’s days like today when he acts like he’s 5 years younger, I almost forget he’s actually 9 😅, almost but not quite. He’s still my little old man 🥰

PSA to anyone thinking about playing where the wind meets , I was recommended to try it out by friends but found out that it had AI chatbot npcs and uninstalled immediately. Posting here to let people know since the game itself does not openly say it uses AI and it wasted my time today .

Another downside to the darker mornings and evenings, it’s harder to get good pictures of Peanut.

The amount of times I end up with blurry photos at this time of year because he’s moved as the picture is being taken.

Only a month until the longest night, ie winter solstice.

Hoppy Friday!!

It’s absolutely freezing this morning, but somebunny is delighted, there were even binkies.

Here he is hopping in to brighten your day this frosty morning.

And this is your reminder to stretch, move around and don’t forget to hydrate.

Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives.

If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜

“Are the fae open source?”

They might like you to think they are, but it’s just a ruse to get access to your name.

Out in the garden with Peanut.

He’s having a fantastic time foraging for tasty bits of grass. Not a care in the world.

And I’m freezing my toes off 😅.

Another fantastic book finished. I genuinely didn’t want to put this down.

Very much recommend if you enjoy wholesome but dark queer fantasy.
The character progression was so good.

Looking forward to more books by @wordsofrablack.bsky.social

Winter on the buses, such a joy.

Will be glad when I get home.

Office was a lot today, doesn’t help when only the main room is heated so if you need the loo you have to freeze you butt off.

I fail to see the issue here 😁
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

The cotton wool exhausted brain is strong today, great way to start the week.

Think the change in temperature from double figures last week to single figures this morning has flared up all my most ‘fun’ symptoms.

That will be a joy tomorrow when in in the office instead of working from home 😅😅

Monday Bunday!!

It might be Monday, but Peanut is full of energy. No doubt he got plenty of snoozes over the weekend.

Here he is hopping in to brighten your Monday.

It’s getting colder here in the UK, so I’ll be hiding under multiple blankets.

Aiming for this energy when people at work ask if things I’ve spent hours working on are written by co pilot.
I’m in a room where a whole ass faculty member said “Chat GPT 5 would be able to write a better NSF proposal than me” and… well…

My inside thoughts got the best of me BC I said loud as fuck “that’s unfortunate, because there’s not a machine on earth that writes better than me.”

This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform.

Wow!!! They’ve actually pinpointed genes for fibromyalgia.

So good to see further research into a condition that’s been unpleasant part of my life for over 20 years.

Also interesting to see it’s indicted to not be auto-immune, but the central nervous system… honestly explains a whole lot.

'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

I’m so glad it’s Friday, sure it might be stormy out, but work is done for the week.

It’s been a hectic one this week, so the weekend is extra welcome.
November 14, 2025 at 4:54 PM
Hoppy Friday everybunny!!

It’s a rainy stormy day here in the UK, so Peanut is doing his best to hide away from the weather. Many naps are expected.

Today is a good day to take things at your own pace, the weekend is but a hop away.

And here is your reminder to stretch and move around.

And of course those of us who are affiliates (and partners) will still have to verify our age, despite the details we have to give for that pretty much verifying our age regardless 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
Twitch is officially releasing age verification in the UK.

Users will need to verify their age using an in-app facial scan; otherwise, they will lose access to watching mature content based on Content Classification Labels (CCLs).
