“It’s really hard to understand inclusion when you’ve never felt excluded. I use he/him pronouns and I’m the first openly out transgender athlete in professional hockey. In the past, every single NHL team had a Pride Night. This year, it’s kind of taken a step back with that. There was a player that decided not to wear a Pride jersey and it turned into this huge thing. I think when a team says that they’re going to wear a Pride jersey and then backtracks on that statement, it really sends a hard message to LGBTQ+ fans and players that we’re not going to stand behind you when things get tough. If I was playing on a team and somebody decided to take that stance and not wear a Pride jersey, I would feel unsafe in that dressing room.” -Harrison Browne for the Keep Pride in the Game campaign

Saw someone argue that opposing AI art is ableist because this is the only way for some disabled people to make art afjagjsfh. Disabled people have been making art since the dawn of time and because making art is so varied there will always be tons of ways to create despite disability that doesn’t involve ripping artists off by using AI art

Sarah Biffin was a Victorian-era painter of miniature portraits who was born without arms or legs. She taught herself to write, sew, and paint using her mouth (like Joni), and was pretty damn successful for herself as she was even commissioned by the royal family. Here's a self-portrait she did:

In my opinion, someone generating AI art is a curator, not an artist. The art is being produced by an AI, and a human selects what creations they want to show to others. As a disabled artist myself, its really fucking rude to act like disabled people can't create anything new ourselves, as if we don't have anything of our own to add to the world.

Good for this person. This is exactly what you do. Screw the job.

I had a job that made me work an all nighter, 30 hours straight, over Thanksgiving. I resigned that Monday and it was one of the most satisfying decisions I’ve ever made.

Please pay attention to all the manipulation tactics this boss uses, because they’re pulling out every trick in the book.

  • “I’m not your boss, I’m your friend”
  • “Other people will be hurt by this and it’s your fault and I’m going to tell them all that”
  • Mocking language
  • Jobs are important too
  • “Be a team player”
  • “We’re your family too”
  • Talking as if this is a thing you must do
  • “We all make sacrifices”
  • Undermining your authority
  • “You caused all of this, really”
  • Accusing you of being “unprofessional”
  • “Look at the money you cost us”
  • “Just laugh it off and come back to work”

This is like a 101 course in how employers use guilt trips to coerce you into putting up with their bullshit. This is precisely why you should never trust those employers who insist that they’re “like a family.” They are not. It’s just a ruse so that your boss can neg you into putting your job ahead of your actual life.
