Wow, hello new followers! I'm Kristen (they/them)! Seems a lot of you found me from @FromPhDtoLife's thread on unconventional careers post academia. Inspired by that, let me kick off a 🧵about a day in my #museum life 😎

Since August of 2023, I've been working on a new kind of project, one that embodies connection and empathy through immersion. Curious? Stay tuned for more teasers, trailers, and updates. Project launch date is March 2024. I'm so excited to share it with you.

Incredible new transgender study was just published in the prestigious Journal of Adolescent Health. The study finds that puberty blockers significantly reduce anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts compared to those who did not receive blockers. They are lifesaving.

Ergo copyrighted works are not safe from being used to train AI, ergo work is being fed into it without the consent of the creator, ergo this is an ethical issue re how AI models are trained and what they generate in relation to the data they've been fed. The end.

This is the best example I've found yet of how derivative AI 'art' is. The person who generated the image on the left asked Midjourney to generate 'an average woman of Afghanistan'. It produced an almost carbon copy of the 1984 photo of Sharbat Gula, taken by Steve McCurry. 1/

@slucy The transit blackhole that is Hyde Park. It's agonizing.

Because I'm blind, an airline is saying I have to sit alone. We booked side-by-side seats. But when they found out I'm blind, they separated us. They're claiming it's their policy 1/7 #RightsOnFlights

@AutisticCallum_ Autistics often struggle with boundaries bc we've spent so much time *not* listening to them. Tolerating poor treatment is part of that and I'd guess that this point is bc of repeated boundary crossings. It's also up to us to know and say what our boundaries are 💜

IDK if this is an Autistic thing, but I can tolerate a lot of poor treatment - until a point. Yet, when that point has been reached, I’m done for good. No amount of apologising/changing can win me over. It’s like there’s a switch, and when it’s been flicked, it can’t change back.

It was such a gift to not only see words I wrote throughout The Blue Paradox, but to experience the digital immersion breathing life into them, to feel them flow like water over me and the space.
