Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

It's rude.

[katsdom]

The above is doubly true if the content of the email is something that will be important to the person receiving - especially something that affects them negatively. They see that this thing that affected them so much didn't matter enough to you to write it yourself. I was a bystander to such a thing not long ago and it was just awful.

fuckin succinct

[goldensunset]

hate when people think the only archetype possible for a male sidekick to a female protagonist is a soft boi and/or himbo. like the implication there is that the only reason a man would ever defer to a woman’s authority is if he was a bumbling idiot. love male supporting characters who are smart and strong and confident and can step up when necessary but still kind and humble enough to let someone else take the lead most of the time

[goldensunset]

ok another good point here

in happier pride news i actually found this deeply heartwarming

that's solidarity baybeeee

[lgbtlaughs]

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

Bad Ritual Public Update

New chapter is up !! Being a warlock isn't as safe as you think, and you have to decide whether to face what your patron is with a smile, or try to force them to see what they've become. This is a two way street, after all !!

Bad Ritual is an interactive Twine-based romance wherein you, a corporate demon hunter, find yourself helplessly bound to an archdemon after your mysterious boss leaves you alone with a clearly unauthorized binding ritual. Who will you ally with: the archdemon, hell-bent on escaping the binding and disappearing forever, or the priestess Tahira, who would hunt him to the very ends of the earth?

Hello, Emily. This is Adam Driver. I came across your blog in my free time today and it pained me greatly to find a post you made recently calling me ugly and, I quote, “garbage”. I began to cry, because I have anxiety about my appearance. You have truly hurt an innocent 30 or 40 year old man who wants nothing more than to act and be happy. I hope you consider your actions in the future, as I am still crying because of you. Thank you, and goodbye.

just like. for the crowd.

here's the sexual content guidelines saying nudity is ok

here's the bit from the termination email telling you you can make a new account as long as it doesn't break the same rule

here's the guidelines for what counts as explicit (not mature, aka grounds for content deletion)

here's the section telling us that you will always be able to respond to content getting flagged as explicit (lie)

here's the section where it says you will be notified when your accunt gets terminated, and that the appeals are reviewed by humans (both lies)

and by the way, posting a single thing against ToS isn't supposed to be grounds for deletion,

the thing about yang is that she is so butch.

[gretchenfinch]

and like i could be funny and say "source i based my entire personality off of her 12 years ago and i'm a butch lesbian now" but like she's FOR REAL SO BUTCH.

every butch knows about masking your masculinity away especially when you're in an environment like school. SHE EVEN DOES THE VOICE. but her whole thing was always always protecting and HER SEMBLANCE IS LITERALLY TAKING THE HIT AND DISHING IT BACK HARDER IT'S SHE'S BUTCH

[gretchenfinch]

WE'RE NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT HER MOMMY ISSUES AND HER BEING A COPY OF HER DAD

when she has that first fight in v5 and she doesn't turn on her semblance ONCE. that's when girls became men. holy shit hmmmmmmmmmmm

what was i talking about

yeah . she's so butch to weiss also like that's her bestie #herbestie and how they can rely on each other emotionally??? may i say that's platonic butchfemme. yang would never have been able to accept blake coming back without having those moments with weiss BECAUSE THE THING IS SHE *HAS* TO PROTECT RUBY SO SHE CANT BE VULNERABLE WITH HER. weiss doesnt have that dynamic with her.

AND THEN WHEN. WHEN BLAKE COMES BACK. i think a lot of their early v6 dynamic can be seen better through a disability lens? AND THEN YOU HAVE HER LITERALLYLIYERALLY DRIVING BLAKE TO HER PART OF THE MISSION AND THEN SHE JUST FUCKING KNOWS WHEN ADAM SHOWS UP!!!!

and then the battle of course we all know that battle ok i could close my eyes and do a play by play of it ok . they're kissing Each Other.

BECAUSE V7 AND BEYOND. THAT'S WHEN IT KICKS UP INTO BUMBLEBY BUTCHFEMME HOURS . MY GOD. SHE DOES GOOFY SHIT AND BLAKE ROLLS HER EYES AND LAUGHS AT HER. THEY GO OUT TO THE CLUB. BLAKE STARTS TEASING HER ALL THE TIME.

ok ii got really sleepy ok. but the bees. they're butchfemme

pretty sure I did the chrome//flags thing a while ago, but also i switched to firefox, which is not without the occasional bullshit, but is vastly less bullshitty than chrome. This is why I treat genai "features" like the invasive blackberry bushes they are: cut, root, burn, and vigilantly watch for new shoots to uproot. I'm 54 years old and the world got by fine without genai for most of my lifetime.

Who the hell in the evolutionary line that led to me had this much fucking anxiety. Who was getting fucked when they felt like what I’m going through on the regular. Unhelpful!
