I like to think that AO3 and fanfiction are a bastion against dead internet theory. Sure, there's the AI and the bots, but at its heart fandom is still a community of passionate people going "LOOK AT WHAT I MADE" and having people go "THAT'S SO COOL" right back.
So yeah. You wanna beat the bots? Make things. Comment. The internet's not dead as long as you're still here making noise.
Also applies to "AI" "artists" and "musicians."
there's something so deeply dystopian to me how tech companies don't understand that a forced convenience is not a convenience at all. i'm sure autocorrect is helpful for many, but a function that forcibly changes my actual written words and punctuation is taking away my language. photo filters can be nice but i need to choose using them myself or else i have lost the ability to take the picture i want. i don't want a machine to draw or write for me. taking away the option for me to do things manually feels like violence!!!! all this talk of endless opportunity, why are you RESTRICTING me

A reminder to my self and all of you: you can, and should make customer complaints on behalf of staff.
Like last week, I had to mail a package and my local USPS was absolutely SWEALTERING. And the staff only had a few fans, some of which they were using faced towards customers, to try and keep us cool.
While doing my transaction, I was chatting with the worker about how crazy this was and how I hoped she had her own fan too, because I could only see the customer-benefit ones. She said yes, but I also asked if there was anyone I could complain to on her behalf and she immediately said yes again and to please do it! She wrote a more direct customer service number on my receipt which I was able to call Friday.
To be clear, I was kind and polite; I stressed how good the workers at this office were and how efficient always: "It's my local post office," but also how unbearable the heat was and how I couldn't imagine MY poor local staff having to suffer in that heat all day. I don't know yet if it will have an immediate effect for the workers, I hope it will though.
It's a move I haven't pulled much recently, but it was a good reminder for me that I can. I can put on my best assertive-Karen-for-good voice and bitch at companies and corporations to take care of their staff because why would I keep going to them if they don't? I know Post office is a little different, but all the more reason for me to take a vested interest as I pay for them with my taxes! Use my money to get those hard-working folks some goddamn aircon!

The Lion King 2 is the only sequel media that's allowed to make the former main character a kinda bad parent bcs that's the only time it's been done right. This sounds insane but LoK wishes it had what The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride did.
Anyway the REASON it gets a pass is because it actually grounds Simba's bad parenting in things that it would make sense for him to be worried about or reactive too based on the trauma he's gone through, and on top of that he still gets to have a character arc despite not being the main character that follows from the character arc he had in the first movie.
I don't believe Aang was a bad father in the way the show said he was because it's contrary to his entire personality. Someone who helped form the Air Acolytes would never neglect his son because he's not a bender or his daughter because she's not an air bender. Just like I don't believe Luke "There Is Still Good In Vader" Skywalker would try to kill his nephew, it's contrary to his entire personality, Luke would not see his nephew any differently than he saw Anakin, especially when he hadn't yet done anything wrong while Vader had genocided half the galaxy and murdered a bunch of children.
I believe that Simba struggled to raise his daughter because he was overprotective BECAUSE he knows how fucking easy it is for someone to die in the savanna. It happened right in front of him. He also didn't get raised to adulthood with his parents so ofc he's not the best as knowing how to talk to his daughter or explain things to her, he got raised in the wilderness by two gay weirdos. Of course he's insanely hostile to outsiders including the lionesses that decided to follow Scar, Scar killed his dad and nearly caused a collapse of the local ecosystem. And during the course of the movie he has to actually come to terms with how he's letting his trauma control him and it's drive his daughter away. He gets to apologize and admit he was wrong, he gets to grow.
And yeah you could argue we don't really get to see Aang or Luke interacting with their families because that's not when the story is set but there are still ways to make sure your characterization is consistent, and I'd argue in cases like Aang and Luke where you don't get to see them when they were raising/interacting with their young families it's even more important for you to keep the characterization consistent because we don't get to see the character grow and change we just see where they started and where they ended up, so if you change too much it's gonna feel weird.
You can do the "they grew up to be bad and/or flawed parents/guardians" thing without it feeling like character assassination and for some reason The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride does it better than most media that tries it.
Hooray! Yay! Dykes!
I'm not seeing any naked adults in that screenshot...
...There's something deeply messed up about how breasts, which are used by our species to feed babies, are considered to be so perverse and obscene that a child should never see them.
There aren't any naked people in the entire video clip. There's some people that you'd probably see less of their skin on a beach, but only because on a beach they'd probably be wearing a bikini top as well as whatever else they have on. And this is New York City, where toplessness is legal regardless of gender or assigned sex.
Toplessness for breasts is legal in most places in the US, unlegislated in almost all that remain, and only illegal in two states: Ohio and Tennessee.
This is because topless equality has been a basic push from feminists for literally decades, until Radfems and NeoCons bonded over wanting a trans genocide less than a decade ago.
It's literally why the "no tits on tumblr" and other lesser SESTA/FOSTA consequences* like it were so jarring. It set back FORTY. YEARS. OF PROGRESS in the rights of people with breasts or perceived as women to wear the same clothes as people without.
Do not let conservatives lie to you about this. The majority of people in the us and the VAST majority of States recognize the right of people to not wear a damn shirt. It isn't obscenity, it isn't even nudity, it's just something pericis men are allowed that everyone else isn't.
Y'know.
Basic sexual discrimination.
*Y'all aren't still on that "it was the Apple app store that caused the tit ban" shit, right? It was the literal US federal government. To be fucking clear.
I need to admit something to the US Tumblrinas. Philadelphia isn't a place to me. It's a cream cheese. You say "philadelphia" or "philly" and I immediately, and exclusively, think of the cream cheese. "Twelve people die in Philadelphia disaster" wow that must've been a Molasses Flood style event
No I trust the Americans, the cheese lovers, and the fans of the molasses flood to find this one on their own.
#PHILADELPHIA DIDN'T EVEN INVENT CREAM CHEESE#IT WAS INVENGED IN CHESTER NEW YORK 4 HOURS SOUTH#*starts being dragged away by Philadelphians* YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME
Not gonna lie I always just assumed cream cheese was hundreds if not thousands of years older than the USA. That's way too late to be creating new textures of dairy.
the internet is a place for reading wikipedia articles and watching every movie for free. social media is an invasive species. never forget this
late summer / early fall thoughts
A three-circle venn-diagram where the circles are "sex workers", "the furry community", and "people working in morgues". I don't know what the overlap parts are.
Fourth circle needed: IT workers
You say that with such confidence that I am compelled to trust your vision. Personally I have no idea where this is going.
i'd say the overlap between "sex workers" and "people who work in morgues" is probably "seeing naked strangers a lot"
"professional handling of bodies of strangers"?
Putting my neck out for you folks here
Okay I’ve gone through many of the reblogs and “prefer when clients don’t talk to them” is peak
crazy how your only options for romance these days are to redownload hinge or to give up on love and become a lighthouse keeper. ah well.
the lighthouse is looking more and more enticing every day btw.
is anyone else annoyed that "ai" encompasses both chatgpt and tools we train to do repetitive tedious work for us. and by the ripple effect of articles like "scientists develop ai to detect cancer early" that make people argue for the merit of chatgpt or become anti-medicine. and by the general state of the world and society
