Ok update:

So basically my parents want me off tumblr until I'm an adult, and the reason they took my internet access fully was because they knew I'd find a way around basically everything else lmao.

We've now struck a deal; I get internet access back but cannot use tumblr once I've finished this goodbye message because "social media is bad for teen's health." However, because I'd normally have little reason to oblige with this, both my parents agreed to delete their facebook accounts in front of me if I stopped using tumblr basically until I'm an adult. All non social media sites and apps are fine though.

Which leads me to this next point: I'm Starting A Discord Server so that I can still keep in touch with mutuals and post things about my interests while technically not having a social media feed

Check out the Uniform's Not-Tumblr Tumblr community on Discord - hang out with 1 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

Everyone seeing this; feel free to join, especially if you're my mutual!

genAI companies are now buying up rare and antique books so they can scan them and use them to train their AI. then they're destroying the books afterward.

AI Companies Are Buying Antique Books, Ingesting Their Contents to Train Models, and Then Destroying Them at Incredible Scale, Even If Almos

AI companies are quietly obtaining rare books, ingesting their contents, and then destroying them -- even if they're exceedingly rare.

they've had to face settlements against stealing from current authors, so they'll just go for the old books now. they're also doing this so they have the only copies of rare books.

they're taking water, power, natural resources for their data centers. they steal. they're book burning, essentially. i'm just so angry, i'm at a loss right now.

Oh this is very bad. Oh this a disaster historical and civilizational in scale.

[blairsanne]

For anyone who isn't going to read the article, I feel it worth pointing out that they aren't destroying the books after. That headline wording is misleading.

They are destroying the books as part of the process of scanning them efficiently.

They are cutting the pages out of the book, and so it is essentially no longer usable as a book. I imagine if it was not so much faster to do it this way, they would probably resell the books.

part of being an adult is figuring out what eveyone else's definition of "going crazy" is. to you it is not sleeping for 60 hours, writing 80k words in one sitting and expiriencing enough anxiety to kill a horse. to beth from accounting its buying a ticket to Columbus, Ohio. and to your friend its consuming so much ketamine you lose all of your posessions and wake up with five broken bones in a ditch somewhere and then proceeding to do it again the next day. to your other friend its writing a letter to their favourite actress about how much they appreciate her work. to your neighbour its laughing loudly in a grocery store whilst in pajamas. maya from uni hears the voice of her dead father making jokes with no punchlines and she considers that to be quite normal - to her going crazy would be hearing her husband instead. your downstairs neighbour will take night walks naked sometimes and claim there is nothing weird about him. there are literally no rules to life and all meaning is in the eye of the beholder.

Do not come on my posts with “Black Women Are Superhuman Beings Who Can Handle Anything” takes. That’s a dangerous and reductive rhetoric rife with misogynoir. No, black women cannot take more negative and harmful attacks than other women can. Black women are not primed to withstand more attacks and harassment than women of other races. Stop. That is horrifying. Black women deserve grace, compassion, and a soft place to rest, not constant burdens.

last night was a panic attack that never stopped and it was quite terrible and I kept imagining how much violence is coming for this country unless things change directions. food insecurity is a major trigger of mine

there is an enormous chasm of lived experience between myself and my conservative relatives who did not survive Katrina

they are afraid of immigrants. I am afraid of the apocalyptic society-destroying events (often manmade) that cause mass migration to happen. and not only do they not see these events or know of them, they don’t realize that they can happen here at home. to us. at any point. and they have. and the precious U.S. government you adore so much isn’t going to save you from them. they don’t give a fuck abt you

my main problem of having a low self-esteem is that you appear unfriendly even when you don't intend to because your mind is always judging itself so it's constantly on guard. when i'm comfortable, i'm the literal opposite of how i appear to classmates and alike. god... i feel so bad for [ ] who does funny shit with me even when i'm just sitting there looking serious. i'm not this cold. i'm not. i can't even be myself around other people because my brain freezes on me. even when i tell myself i'll stop with this crap, it just happens without me even realizing it and i can only curse myself out in my head afterwards

My nose is so fucking stuffy rn and it hurts to swallow and my mom is all "omg dayquill won't even do anything but fine 🙄" but it's like the only thing that works for longer than like 5-10 minutes

unfortunate truth of reality is that oftentimes 15 year olds will say/do/believe some stupid bullshit because they are 15 but telling them that they believe that because they are 15 is probably the most counterproductive thing in the entire universe

There’s a catastrophic female loneliness epidemic happening rn but nobody gaf bc women aren’t going out and hurting people about it we just betray and destroy ourselves for nothing

It’s so hilarious to me reading fics where Grace talks to other Eridians and uses gender neutral terms for every single one of them EXCEPT for Rocky

He learned that Eridians have no gender but it was too late for Rocky he already got hit with the boy beam

All Eridians are agender except for Rocky who is AMAFC (assigned male at first contact)

pop health science is so annoying bc it'll be like "did you know? eating strawberries will give you mega cancer" and you're like pfft whatever begone influencer. but sometimes then you'll see a reasonably credible article like "Study Shows Possible Link Between Strawberries and Mega Cancer" and you're not usually the type to follow that kind of thing religiously but idk maybe you should consider not eating strawberries? but then there's another article saying "Strawberry/Mega Cancer Study Debunked" and it turns out the original study had a sample size of 3 and was funded by Big Blueberry, and strawberries may have a small connection to mega cancer but only if you are genetically predisposed to mega cancer and eat 50 strawberries every day. so you return to your strawberry eating life. but whenever you eat strawberries in public someone tells you about the mega cancer.
