@juergen_hubert Indeed! It bugs me that there are so many Chinese folktale collections of minority tales, and none of them have been translated...

When you try to use Google Translate on Chinese text to read a legend, and it comes out as "How Dental Floss Created Humans."

I think this is the most badass photo I have ever seen.

Lucy Schwob, alias Claude Cahun, French-Jewish genderfluid surrealist artist, in her 50s, after being released from Nazi prison. For years during the occupation of Jersey she ran a covert pamphlet campaign with her girlfriend.

She is holding a German eagle between her teeth. She got it from a German soldier who tore it off his uniform.

From Paper Bullets by Jeffrey H. Jackson

So I am really liking PageBound so far, as a Goodreads alternative. The community is nice, and it has lots of fun features. Plus it's an indie, women-led, no-AI platform.

I hate it when I talk about AI "art" and how awful it is, and people respond with "Oh, but it will get so much better at it! It will be able to create amazing stuff, not just creepy images!"

I. Don't. Care.

I want stuff made by thinking, feeling, flawed humans. That's the whole point. I don't care how good AI is at "art". I don't care that "writing a good prompt is difficult". I really don't. The problem was never the quality to begin with.

#BudapestPride today was illegal... but also the largest we had in 30 years. Incredible turnout. Trying to ban it made it stronger. Propaganda trying to make hate the majority opinion failed.

A handful of counter-protesters blockaded the Freedom Bridge (because irony is lost on them), but the parade moved one bridge over and passed them by.
