Standing in the Earthlight

Cat, 22, She/Her. This blog is like 45% Doctor Who, 25% random shite and the rest is classic movies and me complaining about my degree

It matters that we refuse.

It matters that we resist.

It matters that we be loud about our refusal and resistance.

really one of the things i hate most about the ai fuckening we're currently in is that it positions me as the person wearing a tinfoil hat when i try to suggest that maybe handing over biometric and personal data to tech companies is bad, actually.

like maybe perhaps perchance we don't want it scanning our children's faces to do age verification because we don't know what it's going to do with those scans down the line. maybe we shouldn't be using it like a therapy machine and telling it our deepest, most painful things. maybe we shouldn't be giving it a dossier of our detailed medical information, especially in a world (in the us) where things like not being able to hold pre-existing conditions against someone for insurance is increasingly threatened. perhaps we shouldn't be scanning our faces for funny little short videos into something that can also generate porn on demand with all of the data it's collected.

maybe, stay with me and please stop building the tinfoil hat i can see you putting on my head coworker/friend/casual acquaintance, ai ISN'T a miracle to solve humanity's problems and is instead just more tech churned out by tech bros who have not historically been super great when it comes to morals.

if i’m ever brutally murdered and everyone feels like they need to do something productive in my memory, all i want is for you to pass legislation banning LED headlights in my name. regardless of how irrelevant it is to my murder. it’s relevant to my heart.

been doing a LOT of analog note-taking / journaling / planning lately (new years' resolution fulfilled! yes!), and I've slowly but surely started writing mostly in cursive again.

that said, I'm old (almost 35, ew) so I have questions.

when you're writing on paper, you use...

cursive pretty much ALWAYS

MOSTLY cursive

roughly equal cursive / printing

MOSTLY printing

printing pretty much ALWAYS

what's cursive?

what's paper?

if you want to RB this and put you age / locale / whatever else you think is relevant in the tags, that'd be very cool

i think we can reframe "gifted kid syndrome" as another form of "peaked in high school..." like i genuinely don't mean this with derision but sometimes we have to move on... chin up girl, there's so many years ahead of you

The thing about living in Europe is that everyone is at least vaguely aware that if you don't support the military defense efforts of the countries with a border with Russia, then you are going to be in a country with a border with Russia.
