You'll doubtless want to turn this off in your Instagram...

Vie the NYT:

When Meta unveiled an artificial intelligence image generator called Muse Image on Tuesday, it came with a feature that let users create A.I. images based on people’s Instagram photos. Any adult with a public Instagram account was automatically opted in. Using the Meta AI app, the company’s stand-alone chatbot, other users could pull from “part or all of your published photos” to create new A.I. images, the company wrote in a blog post. “In addition, people may be able to create content with your Instagram content using A.I. features at Meta,” the company added. Here’s how it works: On the Meta AI app, a user can tag a public Instagram account and direct the chatbot to create new A.I. photos based on photos from that person’s account. The privacy backlash was immediate. Along with automatically enrolling users in the feature, Meta didn’t notify people when their accounts were used to generate A.I. images. Hundreds of users took to social media to decry the new feature, asking how they could opt out while criticizing the company for a lack of consent. One user said on social media that the feature was “a privacy landmine waiting to detonate,” while others on Instagram shared templates for how to disable it. A Meta spokesman said in a statement that private accounts and users under 18 were excluded from the new feature, which can be disabled “with just a couple clicks.” “We will take action against any content that violates our Community Standards,” the company added. What can I do about this? The easiest way to opt out and protect your account is to set your account to private. But if you’d like to keep your account public, go into Instagram’s settings and scroll down to the “share and reuse” tab. In the sections titled “Allow people to reuse your content on Instagram and with AI features,” toggle the setting to “off.” You can also change the A.I. settings for individual pictures and videos. Users cannot stop their audio, text and comments from being “reused” by Meta’s A.I., the company said.

I do not and will not EVER AGREE that “butchfemme dynamics are heteronormative” and I thing that take is STUPID AND IGNORANT so DO NOT HEAR ME SAY SOMETHING IM NOT SAYING

However…. Sometimes it feels like certain people, and I’ve noticed it usually be women who do not necessarily identify as lesbian (bi and pan women) but it’s def smth I see sometimes within the lesbian community as well, will use “femme” and “butch” to actually mean “sub” and “dom” or “bottom” and “top” strictly from the sense of a heteronormative lens of one being the “woman”, ie the “one who is dominated” and the other is the man, ie the “one who dominates”. Or they exclusively view Butchfemme as a kink/sex dynamic and consider absolutely nothing else about butch or femme as an identity external to sex

The people who view Butchfemme that way often view Butches as Men Lite(TM) who are exclusively daddy doms and femmes are women who are exclusively princess subs and in both cases, when talking about butches or femmes, extremely misogynistic language is used to put both of them down. And when I see people talk about them like that, i ALMOST understand how people come to the “butchfemme is heteronormative” conclusion, even if it’s still stupid as fuck.

But then like the solution is to actually talk to ACTUAL lesbians, actual butches and actual femmes, and understand that Butchfemme is NOT describing top/bottom dynamics, and that both are actually closer to gender and political identity than they are anything else

Idk if this makes sense I’m just tired of everything I do as a butch being scrutinized under these lenses is all ig

Some parents when their adult child comes out: There were no signs

My entire family when I came out: Oh, we're so happy that you felt comfortable telling us... alright, who had July 2021?

Polyamory is safe for work. Polyamory is safe for kids. Polyamory is safe for day time tv. Polyamory isn’t more sexual than any other relationship and it can be just as romantic, sweet, and healthy.

Me: Oh, come on! You can't give me a straight line like that and not expect me to take it!

My Wife: We both know I've never given you straight anything.

someone on reddit shared texts of her and her husband's exclusive english dialect and it's beautiful

Aw, geeze. We had a cleaning crew in yesterday and I forgot to tell them not to clean my office. They did an amazing job, but...

I walked in to find my dick on the desk. Whoops. How embarrassing.

Yesterday my colleague told me that when I send clients to her, they'll waffle between "he" and "she" for me while looking at her expectantly, hoping she'll give them a hint. She said, "maybe this makes me a bad ally, but I just don't acknowledge it at all. I mean, I don't know what gender you were when they talked to you."

I told her, "that doesn't make you a bad ally, it makes you the best ally. I'm incredibly happy and I never want you to stop."

[daskatzchen]

Me: I like it when you say condescending things like "you're lucky you're cute," but only you. Anybody else talks to me like that they're getting their teeth punched in

Wife: Awww, you think you're intimidating!

Me: Oh, I never said I would be the one punching their teeth in.

Wife: ...

Wife: No, you got me. I would throw hands.

[daskatzchen]

Ah. That's why it feels like the universe is out to get me today. Duly noted. Where's the Tylenol?

Was chatting with my cousin and BFF since before I could see over the counter and, well:

I ain't never done "sublety"

[daskatzchen]

Being a millionaire's wife ain't what it used to be. A million dollars isn't even enough for one of us to retire early. Who the hell is responsible for this shit? I want to file a complaint, I feel like I've been mislead.

I was never particularly interested in the Omegaverse because I thought of it as a M/M thing, but then I found out there's F/F Omegaverse fics and... oh Goddess, I'm the target audience. I've been the target audience the whole time.

I don't know how to feel about this.

My parents had 3 kids. 2 girls and one boy. Now they have 1.5 girls and 1.5 boys. And not in the same order, either. Also two of us are both gay and poly, and the last one is really private but has never introduced a partner so maybe aroace?

My Mom gave birth to a veritable rainbow. Do you suppose it's nature or nurture?

[daskatzchen]

My wife was apologizing for not loving me as much as I love her, and I had to tell her "Sweetie, we can't both be completely unhinged, how would that work? If we're both locked in the basement then who will buy groceries?"

keep thinking about how I wrote in my dissertation about how every time a new form of public/social space emerges it's immediately popular with kids and teenagers who see it as a chance at freedom and then adults colonise it and kick them out. this happened with malls in the 80s and diners in the 50s and pool halls in the 20s. my dad was doing research on this trend in like 1975. and I was like "yeah so this is going to happen to the internet" and then five years later every government suddenly decided to ban kids from everywhere online. I hate being right especially when I don't even get paid for it
