Queerceañera by Alex Crespo was a cute romcom.

The Sunbearer Trials by Aidan Thomas had a similar appeal for me as the Last Airbender. It’s much more adventure than romance.

I liked Waiting for the Flood by Alexis Hall, but I wasn’t into the sequel and haven’t tried anything else from him yet.

Most Ardently by Gabe Cole Novoa is Pride and Prejudice with boys, though the author is non-binary in this case.

Even though the authors are women, I have to recommend Notorious Sorcerer by Davinia Evans and Self-Made Boys by Anna-Marie McLemore.

Thank you very much!

ChatGPT already shills products; it just does so semi-randomly and usually at the behest of the user. I think this could actually push users away if it prioritizes paid content over tailoring itself to the user, which would be a weirdly positive outcome.

To make a simplistic example, take someone who’s into aluminum foil to block mind control waves. If ChatGPT won’t shut the fuck up about Reynolds Wrap and links to where you can buy Reynolds Wrap, that might be a tipping point that gets them to close the app. Which won’t make them all better, but at least they wouldn’t be using AI to get worse.

ChatGPT might finally be made incapable of discussing harmful topics if advertisers don’t want negative associations, giving Sam Altman the monetary incentive he needs to pretend he gives a shit about human lives.

The Blood Moon is rising… (Terrarian)

It’s interesting because I would expect the opposite to be true, that archeologists would struggle to find a practical reason for everything when sometimes the people in question just thought the thing was neat.

Also some people attempt suicide and either survive or die briefly before revival so it’s kind of not really the most sensitive joke.

My immediate assumption is that any observations made by me are meaningless noise and that I should avoid making them unless I see something really weird. But that could also be a problem because then it looks like shiny Caterpie is really common in this area while the regular one is rare. Do you know what behavior the creators of the app prefer?

What does it mean that this bird is “likely in 4 today”?

That is the correct spelling in this context.

This is Crohn’s erasure.

The problem isn’t that there’s not enough yaoi, but that what there is is mostly problematic fetish material by people who don’t seem to understand the concept of consent, and who encourage unsafe practices to young gays. More healthy porn/romance please.

You might like the novel We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler. I personally prefer to go into books without knowing much about them, so I will put the premise in a spoiler tag:

It has a fairly comic tone, which is very welcome given all the trauma.

Where is the infinite tsukuyomi head??

But if a woman has a penis then it’s her penis. Medically the penis is the important part, so you can still use “they” in a situation where you’d use “his/her”, both to be a smoother sentence and also to be inclusive of non-binary people.

No, there are no asterisks in the actual URL.

*removed* appears where a word has been removed.

I have to assume it’s in an automod filter, but I can’t imagine why. Is it a joke like how people say “Fr*nch”?

*pretends to toss a treat*

The written form was neutral until Western influence inspired the creation of a female version, replacing the first radical “person” with “woman”.

Why?

The haters are the root of the problem, but it’s not like I’m not using it/its because I’m afraid of being scolded or made fun of. It’s unfortunately tied to dehumanization in the sense that not being human is a bad thing, and that makes it fun for bigots to say and uncomfortable for good people to say. I lament the situation, but I also accept the way it is.
