the shame of making a connection irl and them being like omg can i have your insta??? snapchat????? and having to be like sorry i live in a gap between two tree roots youre just going to have to normal text me like some kind of animal

[ebb-is-learning]

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

there’s a difference between “just do a little yoga it will cure your depression forever :)” and “going for a run won’t solve your problems but it will make you feel a little better and that’s the first step” but this site seems to treat them as the same thing

[marylizabetha]

Taking care of yourself is still good even if it won’t cure you. Cleaning my room won’t cure my anxiety or make me less lonely but it is a healthier environment to live in.

Every day I am overwhelmed by the way almost everyone in the global north redefines health away from collective survival and toward promotion of individualism and eugenics.

People will talk about "hygiene" and they mean extensive skin care routines and cosmetics instead of preventing the spread of contagious diseases through requiring structural renovations for better ventilation of workplaces, schools, & public spaces and universal healthcare that includes easy, accessible, free testing & vaccinations.

People will talk about "nutrition" and they mean promoting expensive, restrictive diets dependent on imperial food systems and the promotion of anti-fat and anti-black policies, instead of doing anything to prevent the widespread nutrient deficiencies caused by our government's deliberate, ongoing starvation of Palestinian people.

[closet-keys]

Even NPR, a publication funded by the United States government, reported this morning that:

"One in three people are no longer eating for days at a time, warns the U.N.'s food program in Gaza. The United Nations says about 100,000 woman and children are severely malnourished in Gaza and need immediate medical care. The international organization Doctors Without Borders, known by its French acronym MSF, says 25% of the pregnant women and children ages six months to five years old whom it has been able to screen in Gaza are malnourished. Even if Gaza's severely malnourished children survive, Farrah from Nasser Hospital worries they will suffer from neurological impairments brought on by starvation. [...] after 21 months of shifting Israeli restrictions on how much and what kind of food can enter Gaza, he is seeing a shortage of significant nutritional elements in children's diets, such as iron, magnesium and calcium, because meat, vegetables and fruit are nearly impossible to obtain. The vitamin and mineral deficiencies "impact the development of a child's heart, liver and circulatory system," he says.

When you are thinking about health and nutrition, I want you to think about the people of Gaza.

When anyone starts a conversation with you about issues of health and nutrition, I want you to talk about the mass starvation of children in Palestine.

Do you have a responsibility to helping others survive? How do you care for the children in your life? The elderly? The disabled? Who is in your circle of care? How wide does it extend?

My friend Mahrah (@mahrahpalestine) and her brother Mahmoud (@palestinian95) Balousha are trying to keep their parents alive.

Their father lives with diabetes, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis. How can he maintain his health with no food and constant stress? Their mother has lost 27 kilos due to starvation.

Help us restore hope and rise again

The Balousha family fundraiser has been vetted by 90-ghost and shared by fairuzfan. The campaign is hosted by @omegaversereloaded, and funds donated are transferred directly from her to the Balousha family. Donating to their campaign is completely safe and urgently necessary.

Donating makes a direct and immediate impact on their family. Every single dollar or euro counts. It matters. Please donate.

what merc is doing to that kid is so fucked up too btw. fast tracked a super license for him (pressure) while he's skipped a feeder series (pressure) and then told him he's filling sir lewis hamilton's shoes (insane amount of pressure) all because toto wants to fulfill his weird kingmaker fantasy that he lost out on with the orange demon a decade ago. there's a damn documentary talking about how great this kid is and his journey to f1 (that no other rookie got) (pressure) on top of that toto's now twerking for the orange demon AGAIN talking about how he wants him on his team but won't say which driver he'd be replacing (PRESSURE) and he lets this drag on for ages. and we're about halfway through the season and this culminates in kimi ending up crying after a bad quali at spa because at the end of the day he's a literal teenager in a sport of experienced legends, under insane amounts of pressure bc everyone hyped him up to be the Next Big Thing and he is. just. a. child. and he has to deal with all this and jesus christ why is everyone acting like all of this was a good idea.

okay i know i’m Back On My Bullshit but hear me out: found footage macbeth

[butchhamlet]

so much of the plot of macbeth revolves around… the fact that we don’t get to watch the plot of macbeth. we never get to see macbeth and banquo win a battle; we never get to see macbeth kill the king; we don’t see his coronation; we don’t watch lady macbeth die. so much of macbeth is what’s told through the cracks - we just get the lead-up to and aftermath of events.

so: found footage macbeth. security videos and transcripts from dunsinane and inverness. interviews with castle guards, lady macbeth’s handmaidens, figures like ross and lennox. news articles about the deaths of duncan and macbeth… battle casualty counts… whatever lady m wrote on those papers during her sleepwalking scenes… young siward’s school records… i could go on
