Sims 2 actually! Although the UI is very similar to Sims 1, which is still definitely my fav for nostalgia reasons. That whole makin’ magic aesthetic still holds a special place in my 8th-grade witchy-emo heart. 🖤

Omg thank you! Just beautiful.

Good.

Hoooogarfield curve.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is a beaut. Definitely not ashamed to enjoy that one.

Only a tad ashamed that Nic and Pedro rank pretty highly on my list of stupidly adorable on-screen bromances.

Surely there is a German word for the irritating wrongness this image makes me feel, yes?

Do we know what these tests involved?

Yep, I thoroughly agree.

Case in point: I have a throwaway Fb and apparently my clicks have beckoned the algo to push AI-written ragebait stories and intentionally dirty looking pics of what I’m sure are fake trans people.

Thing is, they’re intermixed with seemingly genuine trans person posts (over time). But the tells are there.

Almost every fake one is a “digital creator” with links off site. No doubt they’re fueled by foreign or domestic bot farms of some kind.

As to audience effectiveness, these posts simultaneously breed gentle support from our more accepting brethren but are just “icky and insane” enough to further piss off maga. It’s super effective in promoting engagement and creating the illusion of “trans are everywhere” with over-saturation.

I know I fed the algo in this case, but manufactured bullshit is everywhere. Just wish there were effective strategies to combat it.

I have that feeling now. There’s an uneasiness to it. Movement feels familiar. In stillness I feel distant.

I am desperate for respite from my inconsolable emotion-children, but there is no safe place to put them down.
