selfies, trans musings (+)
Different poses but both happy mid-run photos. March 2019 vs February 2023. 29 months on HRT vs 64 months. Something’s different around my eyes (other than glasses, haw haw) and mouth/jaw. I’m about 15lbs heavier now but a lot of that is muscle. I dunno. Being trans is WEIRD.
the mountains are still there. the ocean. the forests that go on forever. it's all still there. i'll be back in August. i'm so grateful that even now i can try to earn the feeling that i belong in a place i love
i wish i had been wiser. now i have a good life in a place as lifeless as the moon. whatever ancient thing dwelled here is asleep or dead
Taylor and Millie still need help. https://gofund.me/93c0f850
OK internet sleuths - here's something lost to me in the sands of time (or at least buried under unrelated search results).
What is the original source and/or history of this font?
It's called Glyphis 1, version 1, embedded data shows that it was generated by Fontographer 4.1 and is dated 01 Jan 2000. There's also a Glyphis 2 and 3 that are smaller (subsets?).
AI and whining about Microsoft
The most important part of AI is doing it responsibly and ethically. Microsoft just fired their whole team that did AI ethics. Microsoft can go fuck themselves.
If we don't build AI tools ethically we're going to see bias and misinformation seep into tools we use every day and take for granted. Don't let us live in a nightmare realm without AI ethics...
What’s the personhood-rejecting-affirming way of saying “he’s his own person”? #therian

My short story "They Say Don't Get Clocked" is temporarily available for free (https://argylewerewolf.itch.io/dont-get-clocked) because a wise friend said that an anxiety-laden #trans allegory #bodyhorror revenge tale involving a #werewolf #transformation is something #Hugo voters might like.
The Hugo nomination period is now open so check it out, and if you're able, please consider nominating it in the Short Story category! (Hugo site is real slow, sorry https://en.chengduworldcon.com/hugo-awards/#/index)
