*bites you* @beautifulboyjpeg - Tumblr Blog

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be a part of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Remaining time: 5 days 20 hours

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Remaining time: 5 days 21 hours

odyver

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

46-60, less inclined

over 60, more inclined

over 60, less inclined

Remaining time: 5 days 21 hours

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

"trans men don't have a need for community that's why they go stealth!" extremely incorrect buzzer.

Just because a trans man or transmac goes stealth doesn't mean they don't need community. There's a lot of different reasons people go stealth. Safety is a big part of it, some people just don't want people to know they are trans and that's perfectly a-ok. I'd even say the fact Tmen & Tmascs cant find community within the LGBTQ+ is more of a death sentence. We shouldn't have to feel bad for being ourselves. tmasc & Tmen aren't misogynistic for transitioning either. So cut that out

The thing about being trans is that once you come to terms with it it’s really just whatever but The Cis People insist upon being weird about it

Hey, hey, look me in the eyes when I tell you this okay? The whole "do trans women or trans men have it worse?" debate going on right now is the most obvious CIA bullshit on earth cause honestly we've both got it pretty shitty and fighting each other isn't helping anyone

Something I don’t think I’ll ever be over, is how Yao and Ilyukhina died for nothing, and yet at the same time, *didn’t.*

Because they both volunteered to board the Project Hail Mary to search for a solution to astrophage, they were both willing to die in order to give the rest of humanity a fighting chance of making it.

And they both died before ever even seeing Tau Ceti.

And it feels so unfair, because they went all that way for nothing, they died without even getting to try and save the people they were going for.

So they died for nothing.

Except they DIDN’T.

Because their deaths saved Grace, and in turn, saved Rocky and Erid. Without the surplus coma slurry, Grace wouldn’t have been able to go back and take Rocky home, and Erid would have had a much harder time with astrophage.

This isn’t particularly coherent, but I can’t stop thinking about these two people who were willing to die for their world, died before getting the chance to fight for their species survival, and yet their deaths meant the sole survivor of their crew could save both their home, and another.

There’s just something so devastating about that to me.

I often find myself pondering how Barry knew that Magnus would recognize Thieves' Cant in Wonderland. Did Barry do a little possessing to spy on Magnus and Carey's rogue training? If he did, then who was the unlucky possession victim, given that Pringles was already thrown in the brig at that point? Or did Magnus learn Thieves' Cant originally during the Stolen Century, possibly even alongside Barry back then? In that case, did Carey notice that Magnus was picking up Thieves' Cant really quickly on Faerun, except for maybe thirty percent of symbols that he just kept getting wrong (always by inventing a new symbol that Carey had never seen before in her life) because Faerun Thieves' Cant was different than what he was used to? Or did Barry just not know that Magnus would know Thieves' Cant, and was he willing to try every method of covert communication he could think of until one finally worked, just being kind of delighted and amazed when the one that worked was actually the first one? The possibilities are delightful and endless.

Who names their character Susan

I’m poisoning an enchanted crossbow, which I gave a nickname to so I wouldn’t accidentally sell it. The name of the weapon is “delicious quinoa, Susan”.

"character deserved better" (but they were never going to get it that's the stuff great tragedies are made of) vs "character deserved better" (but the writers really blew it)
