If you disagree with whatever the Bsky CEO and the broader mod team is doing - consider giving Mastodon/Fediverse a try! It's not a 1 to 1 experience, but it's very nice over there AND you get to pick how your timeline is moderated! I'm over at @ItsFunkyCaptain@social.mango.vg as my primary space. π¦
When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as βheadcanon.β
When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it βobnoxiousβ and βcringe.β
They just donβt want us to be represented in media at all. Because they donβt want us to exist at all.
trust me i get it, it's like pulling teeth to try and talk about what you like because it's like, "oh my god, i'm so annoying! this is a dumb thing to be obsessed with!" but, seriously... some people like love island, some people like bird watching, some people like fandom stuff. you're in your head
One of the most disappointing things for me personally with the advent of AI is that it has damaged my ability to be impressed with software. Whether it be open-source projects, games, mods, sites, etc. I can admire the skill involved to develop something, but not if it's a machine doing it.
The first Gen AI ad I saw that showed a use case scenario was a person had to read a screenplay and then didn't, so they trick the person they're meant to do this for into thinking they did. The entire purpose of this technology is to trick people and it turns out no one likes being tricked.
The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot
A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead:

I used to be able to start creative projects. Hell as a kid I would be buried in the scenario editor of age of empires, I got really into rpg maker 2k3 as a kid. Wrote so much.
But now? Even opening a program to work on that sort of thing is paralyzing. Overwhelming.
Birthday present for @bikkit.bsky.social and amazing commemorative commission of our time with Big Walk, done by the lovely and incredible @miski.bsky.social
Big Walk truly up there for best game I've ever played. Now I hope to get very particular brain damage to play it again for the first time
Been a year since the first one, but I finally made a part 2 :D

We had a good thing, you son of a bitch! We had an emulator. We had ISOs. We had PSSPP on PC + Phone and it all ran like clockwork. You couldβve shut your mouth, and gotten as much social clout as you ever needed. It was perfect. But no, you just had to blow it up. You and your Claude and your Slop!
You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid
