(former was causal to the latter)

i don’t use ai in my writing because it capitalizes words, and also because writing is the fun part for me (you do you!)

So like to be real, AI is probably the best way for normal people[1] to practice interaction with neurotypicals in a controlled and safe environment. Short of having them all confined to some zoo-like environment this gives us a way to explore and look for patterns in their overwhelming and unhinged behavior.

Don’t get me wrong i do think we should consider the zoo thing but like driving there and parking, plus i heard their dorsal fins collapse in captivity

If I had known one of the more important contributors to ruby was a trans person named E.M. Dash I would have been way more tempted to try it out, that right wing dude never had good vibes

Texts I did not send:

“I’m a mentally ill tgirl single parent with a full time job, who spends her remaining free time dissociating or crying.”

“I know you would like a reply to your texts but you might need to revisit your expectations of me.”

the neurotypicals are not okay (a long post about a "parenting neurodiverse kids" class)

i go to a parenting class for parents of neurodivergent kids. the other parents are all neurotypical.

holy fuck is it a nightmare

i started by trying to empathize with these parents, to some degree. they truly do not understand how their child's brains are wired. and that feels horrible. to feel that disconnected and dissonant with your own kid is painful.

this empathy got me through the first half hour. the remaining 7.5 hours have been slow torment and me learning to control my facial reactions.

"how do i get my son to make eye contact?" you don't

"how can i get my daughter to not repeat the same things she's already said over and over again?" you don't

"how can I get my son to stop telling me about something i don't find interesting?" you don't

"how do I stop feeling guilty about giving my kid adhd?" holy shit get some fucking therapy

ai-recommended names for a group of subby beta boys

  • "The Tranny's Chasers"
  • "The Lady's Boys"
  • "Trans' Siberian Orchistra"
  • "Sub-Woofer Boys"

then it just went tits-crazy:

  • "The Titty Committee"
  • "The Transgender Titties"
  • "The Titty Committee"
  • "The Transgender Titties"

but then I asked for more titties and the AI scolded me for being naughty
