Seven months later and I'm on Northsky/ @transrights.northsky.social !
For some reason I thought being on a different server would get me off of clearsky too, but I checked and I guess not. That's disappointing.
But I am no longer under the thumb of the bluesky moderators! Yay!

A lot of people think Mary Shelly invented sci fi as a way to warn about the risks of unmitigated technological advancement, but actually it was about how men's obsession with the creation of life without an understanding of the duty of care it brings, would destroy the world

I will never get over the time on twitter circa 2017 when I, with maybe 40 followers, tweeted about remembering a scene from Tunnels by Roderick Gordon that was WILD for me to experience as a child, and Mr Gorden himself showed up to be like "lol got you"
And I didn't even say the book title???

Part of the reason a lot of super rich people are so awful is that when normal people get an absurd amount of money, they immediately start looking around for who they can help.
Rachel Reid, who wrote the popular “Heated Rivalry” novel, has donated $300k to Annapolis Valley Regional Library, “one of the most significant private gifts” in their history.
“I credit my local library for being a huge part of the reason I’m a published author today,” Reid said

Hey, guys, when the librarians get pissed about the destruction of books, it’s time to put those listening ears on.
Because we are very comfortable with the idea that books are tools that can be retired. What’s happening right now is not that.

What happens if a creator streams your game and is opted in? Does Twitch think it has the right to feed a developer's game into its AI slop factory? This has deeper ramifications than it seems on the surface.
Twitch now uses your channel to train generative AI by default.

This was genuinely disturbing to watch, it’s not even about poetry, it’s a video to teach children to prompt and do as little as they can get away with doing with the output before calling it a day.
I called WNET in NY to ask them to remove this video. I told them it was damaging to kids.
You can call them, too!
Call 212-560-1313 and press 2 to leave a message (the phone prompt seems to indicate 1, but that message directs you to 2).

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights.
Anyways, here it is.
