When you finally find out about your ADHD.

[ladydedlock]

I'm... I'm speechless.

I'm not in Berlin, I'm near Cologne, the queer capital of Germany,

I am a lesbian living in Germany

I am on the board of a queer organisation and am very involved in the organising of our local Pride, including the security measures we need to protect our Pride from terrorist attacks

OUR. SMALL. LOCAL. PRIDE!

from attacks just like the one in Berlin today.

every time I see those security measures, especially at the Pride I'm a part of, I'm reminded of how much the queer community is still hated and I hate it. I hate that we need those measures, I hate that we have to take them to protect ourselves, I hate that we live in a world where a celebration of love and happiness needs those security measures.

I can't even put words into how much this hurts. for something like this to happen to us, to happen in Berlin.

my heart is broken, my soul is broken, my hope is broken

Berlin, queer community of Berlin, my dear, dear queer community in Germany and beyond, I love you, I am with you, my heart breaks for you

This has been my main argument against "AI" from the very beginning.

OpenAI scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us.

And worse, they're trying to destroy the free sources that they stole from. It's destruction of human knowledge on an unprecedented scale. The burning of the library of Alexandria has nothing on this.

sometimes the author’s barely disguised fetish is YOUR barely disguised fetish and has nothing to do with the author at all

hey so a bunch of people have taken this post as an opportunity to decry interpreting media sexually/suggestively at all and it’s pissing me off. joining the war on eroticism on the side of eroticism. #ThatCigaretteIsAPenis

*sees whatever the fandom is doing* there's a really good story happening on the actual show if you want to watch that instead

Not to be a bitch but sometimes people engage with fiction in the most boring way possible, and nowhere is this clearer than in videogames. Like what you mean you hate a character just because they were kind of abrasive when speaking to the player character? "They were mean to me" and it didn't occur to you to wonder why? Like, what might their attitude toward you reveal about the world? About the social dynamics within it? About their own perspectives and backgrounds and personalities? Does it even occur you to ask? Would you only have liked them if they bowed to your presence and talked about how great you are? Like I'm sorry but you're so boring. How boring fiction would be if it cathered to you
