People do not like to talk about the lack of Black bloggers on tumblr. 😭

[bunabi]

I miss the art hoes, the blackout events, the Black alt-fashion girlies who got me into Taobao hauls. I still prefer Tumblr over other sites but the vibe shift after the 2016 & 2020 BLM content crackdowns is crazy. Pop culture awareness specifically took a major hit. What's even trending right now. Owl House, Barbie, and Hannibal. Okay.

im imagining “being spider-man” as his full-time gig and i just

he has a patreon. the description is just the words “I’m Spider-Man” and all he ever posts is specifically-requested selfies from people who want to be sure its really him. pinned to the top of the page is a picture from the top of the empire state building (not the observation deck, the real top) of his spider-gloved hand holding a bagel that is on fire, with 34th street in the background

I am unmarkedly, unsurprisingly, irrevocably bored. Having the plague SUCKS.

I know I periodically preach the gospel of Scrivener but I do want to say that like, as a professional author who derives 90% of my income from writing novels, it is sincerely the best solution on the market.

This is because it is fundamentally local to your device. Everything is saved on your device. It CAN also be synced to the cloud (only with Dropbox) but a) these are not naked plaintext files, so they cannot be scraped and b) you still have a local copy so if the servers burn down or are shut down or whatever, you will still have a copy.

Its backups and redundancies are so robust that if I ever have a problem with them it is in the direction of having so many backups that it slows down file loading (fixable by manually deleting them).

When you buy it (for a small initial outlay), you own it. This is so unusual in today's software market that I think it bears explaining: you buy a licence to Scrivener once, and it is yours forever. No subscription. It's like buying a real paper notebook.

It's also purpose-built for longform writing and has a load of features of which I probably use 10%. You could use it exactly like a Word or GDoc if you wanted to. Previously the purpose built bit had been the big selling point for me but in today's environment it's being in complete control of my files.

There is no version of a live online document service that will not be subject to AI scraping in the current climate. If you are serious about writing at all, you should be keeping your files local and transferring them, as necessary, in ways that are at least not the equivalent of printing them in the newspaper.

This is inconvenient but you can either have convenience or security. Your writing is your voice, your voice is valuable. It is worth protecting at the cost of a slight change in system, imho. I would not, as a professional, use an online service now.

What really ticks me off when talking about ai is when people are like "it's unavoidable" or "you'll have to learn to use it someday" or "its going to be part of the future" like no it's plenty avoidable actually if you have a spine stronger than a dandelion. You simply say "no" and continue to use your own goddamn brain.

kpop demon hunters from the perspective of the fans is so fucking funny because what do you mean the biggest kpop girl group in korea is beefing with and wrote a devastating diss track about a brand new boy band that debuted like 4 weeks ago and only has one song out
