Hey world, remember when you thought this was awesome? (Which, by the way, it was). Yeah well she's been suspended for a week now because of it; it's coloniser rules and forms of expression allowed only, indigenous people must only be angry in white ways.

Let's talk about the ways that plagiarists and AI are trying to automate sociopathy and why copyright might actually be a powerful tool to fuck with 'em.
And, how do we make a world where even copyright is no longer necessary?

copyright rules, ai drools, and plagiarism is for suckers who have no soul

Okay friends. Today I am writing a thread that I have been thinking about for a long, long, long time. It's really, really important.
It is also very heavy. Cis people, read this. Look with your eyes open at it. Sit with it. Feel it. Absorb it.
Trans people, take care.
This is about history.

Haven't talked much about it, but I've been the one leading the charge on this event. I think it's shaping up to be a really fun first attempt at this format, and should be a entertaining 24 hours of goofy fun raising money for a great cause. Hope you can tune in and support the cause :)
Julia will never say this so I’ll say it for her: when I worked for Polygon, she was responsible for not just the biggest Polygon article, but the NUMBER 1 MOST CLICKED ARTICLE ON ALL OF VOX MEDIA. She was single-handedly paying all of our salaries. Hire Julia.
crawling back to bsky to pasta this from my twitter:
just like my coworkers, i've been laid off from polygon after it got sold (and now gutted i guess)
obvs if you need a guides writer who loves organization, spreadsheets, and comes with all her own equipment, let me know!
also hire my coworkers

“Putting a hat on a hat” is literally a term actual comedians use to describe something as trying so hard to be funny it is no longer funny.
"They say I wear a lot of hats," Elon Musk jokes in cabinet meeting. He grabbed a red "Gulf of America" hat from the cabinet room table and put it over his black DOGE hat.
"Even my hat has a hat."

I made a website. It's called "one million chessboards." It has a million chessboards on it.

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail.

Fuck JKR. Buy trans books.
On that note:

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.
