"wait, but what do I say to describe people who cannot get pregnant?" a guide.

Men cannot get pregnant: INCORRECT. Transgender men are men and many are capable of getting pregnant. Also, excludes the plenty of people who are not men who cannot get pregnant.

Cis men cannot get pregnant: INCORRECT. Intersex men who are technically cis, but have uteruses and ovaries, may be capable of pregnancy, even if it's unlikely. Also, excludes the plenty of people who are not men who cannot get pregnant.

Cis perisex men cannot get pregnant: Correct, but excludes the plenty of people who are not men who cannot get pregnant.

People without uteruses cannot get pregnant: Correct, but excludes infertile and menopausal people with uteruses who also cannot get pregnant.

People who cannot get pregnant: CORRECT. Excludes no one.

To use inclusionary language, you don't need to rip through the reeds in search of wider terminology when you could quite literally say things exactly as they are. Inclusive language isn't "overcomplicated" at all. It's straightforward.

Happy pride month to the trans guys that have to fight to be seen as men. The trans guys who don’t pass. The trans guys who don’t get gendered properly unless it’s in a malgendering way. Even if no one sees you as a guy, I do. From one nonpassing trans guy to another, I’m glad you’re here and I hope you have a good month💙

If you haven't already I'd strongly suggest looking into the environmental impact/freshwater consumption and human labor abuses associated with genAI development before you decide if you want to keep using it or not. Not trying to lecture you but a lot of people are put off by casual use of genAI for those reasons in particular.

Hi Anon! I am well aware of it. In fact I've had the exact same debate with myself over getting a new computer to play The Sims on. In both cases I made the selfish decision that my creative hobby was worthy enough a cause. At my age in our time I'm expected in job interviews and the like to have some insight and experience in procedural image creation. For the above-mentioned reasons, I never wanted to try this just as a meaningless test-run. Visualizing my story-characters was the only instance in the past two years where I felt I might gain new impulses from AI. I'm sorry if I sounded frivolous in my posts, but I think I may be impressed, inspired or amused by AI-content, generated by myself or others without always mentioning the downsides as a counter-balance.

AI images won't be a regular feature on this blog. I tried it, I learned some things, and I don't plan on generating more images in the near future. But I won't say it will never happen again. I want to stay open to the developments of our time, even they should only be used sparingly.

happy mother's day!

reminder for those who forgot or guide for those who missed it the previous time:

SUPER BOOP: hover over (on PC) or hold (on both PC and mobile app) the boop button until it rotates

EVIL BOOP: the same, but wait till it rotates three times

Also there's the grey area of 'well I still need to do those activities even if I'm crying and doing terrible the whole time'.

Like yes I'm temporarily blind and paralysed down one side from my migraine but I can't just not look after my kids y'know?

Like yes mummy will get you a drink let me just feel my way to the kitchen with my good arm

looking at chronic pain/illness scales i always get a little stumped on "it stops me from doing work/daily activities" as a descriptor because what if i'm just a wimp who cant handle a 2 yknow. what if i'm just a baby who doesnt know true pain.

Being adhd is literally a joke. "Hello i can only work with clear instructions! But if you try and tell me what to do i will imagine myself as a rabid dog gnawing and shaking and biting you as a toy" that's so silly i feel sick

Whoa lol I totally lied about number 3 - big shout out to random respiratory illness for ruining that plan.

Anyway. I finish work at the end of this week for a whole year (!!!) of maternity leave. So I’ll get my act together and queue these 30-ish posts to start hitting your dash in July!

Brain dump:

Sims TikTok seems to be where it’s at these days? Tumblr is dying? Debate.

There are so many game glitches going on right now that I literally cannot progress my gameplay in order to progress story. Like height sliders, raining indoors, livestock stuck in family inventory etc. I open the game and close it after getting fed up.

First post of new Legacy up tonight!
