Soft blue feathers

I AM A GHOST POSSESSING A BODY IT'S OK HE DIDN'T WANT IT ~~30/F/trans, she/they. Call me Feather!~~ Originally a tickling blog, now just generally horny. Lesbian, not interested in men. People who like the evangelion rebuilds DNI. Those movies were garbage and you know it. Lesbians welcome to do pretty much anything with me.

She's punching transmisogyny

text: [ “Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5000 years.” ]

[rudjedet]

And they're absolutely specifically pushing it, make no mistake. It's not just a matter of "it's there, it's convenient, so people are going to take the path of the least resistance", it is a legitimate and concerted effort on the part of these companies to get people to outsource all these things to their models.

They're preying on insecurities to do it. Yes, you can write an essay - but can you write a good essay, they ask you. Do you not want to improve your output? Do you not want people to think of you as competent and very clever? Why go through the mortifying process of failing and failing and failing until you succeed if you can just skip the "learning" part of doing, and simply generate a ready-made product?

I'm preaching to the choir here obviously but it's a concerning thing to witness nonetheless. My kid is 6 next week and I've been teaching her that failing at things is morally neutral and in fact necessary even before the advent of AI, but it's becoming ever more important that we teach the kids that criticism and failure and discomfort aren't necessarily bad things, but just a part of the growth process.

AI companies are heavily invested in making themselves relevant. They want people to believe they can't do the things they have done unaided before and to make them become reliant on the AI models, so the AI models' existence is artificially justified.

Heartwarming story: Little girl doesn’t have to do anything to fund her dad’s surgery because his expenses are covered by his country’s universal healthcare.

Human determination: Man bikes 18 miles to work every morning because he wants to and not because he can’t afford a car and would be fired if he’s late.

Spirit of Brotherhood: Neighbors host housewarming party for elderly resident who doesn’t need help in paying rent because his pension is more than enough.

SO INSPIRING: Local middle school students bake dozens of cupcakes because their home economics class is doing a baking unit. Their school is fully funded with everything they need.

can I just say that we all owe Kojima an apology for Metal Gear Solid 2? He looked right into the camera and said “the future of information control will not be censorship, it will be drowning people in trivial noise and misinformation until people partition themselves into their own separate realities” in TWO THOUSAND AND ONE. Three years before Facebook existed. Kojima gave us the biggest Babe-Ruth-pointing-at-the-sky called shot of all time and we weren’t ready for it.

Raiden is a diegetic video game character who is an anxious millennial being told to replicate the past while living in different circumstances who is a parallel between the player obediently accepting the limitations of the game and a soldier taking orders. And he gets sexually harassed by the president of the United States of America.

There is no trans unity.

[morganitism]

There is no trans unity while you continue to shout over and ignore racialized trans people. There is no trans unity while you don't care about young trans people and how their resources get stripped away faster than any other trans person's. There is no trans unity while you don't let trans women have any language or resources to protect themselves from transmisogyny. There is no trans unity while you leave disabled trans people to fend for themselves. There is no trans unity while you can't acknowledge pay gaps and murder rates between different demographics of trans people. There is no trans unity while you let white supremacy fester in your spaces. There is no trans unity while you only care about trans people in the imperial core.

There is no trans unity when you only care about what benefits you.

Hello ms Mouse, another beastie delivery for you! Hope you don't mind me using your askbox to go on a little ramble.

We have a big election coming up tomorrow in the UK (7th May) that will be huge for trans rights here.

I'm feeling very helpless right now but it's important to try and turn those feelings into advocacy so might I humbly share to your audience of mice and other such creatures some very good trans charities / organisations that can be donated to and reached out to for advice and monetary aid/resources. They're all looking for volunteers right now so if anyone's interested then it's a fantastic time to get involved.

https://transactual.org.uk/

https://genderedintelligence.co.uk/

https://transaid.cymru/ (Wales only)

And promised beastie of course. I hope you're doing well.
