they won't tell you this in therapy but sometimes the best way to stop catastrophizing/anxiety is to interrupt your spiraling with "girl what the hell are you talking about"

In elementary school, my best friend and I had this game we would play where we were school supplies living inside a child's desk and going on slice-of-life adventures inside it. And I remember that a key component of our school supply society was a sort of religious schism that existed around the purpose and nature of the giant hand that occasionally reached in to grab different citizens, use them, and then return them, because most school supplies considered this an auspicious and enviable moment of being selected for a greater purpose and allowed a glimpse of a vast truth, but pencils considered it a horrible portent of doom because they always got sharpened during it and came back smaller and closer to death. We were third graders btw.

The preservation of transgender history is essential to ensuring that the stories and experiences of trans people are not forgotten. The Digital Transgender Archive (DTA) has taken on the vital task of gathering and protecting this history, bringing together documents, images, and materials that reflect the rich and diverse experiences of transgender people across time and place.

By making these resources accessible, the DTA facilitates explorations of the often-hidden or erased narratives of trans communities. From personal stories to institutional records, these materials provide a window into the challenges and triumphs faced by trans individuals, while also celebrating the resilience and diversity of these communities.

Preserving this history is also about ensuring that future generations can learn, understand, and be inspired by the stories of those who came before them.

Explore more about how these efforts are safeguarding trans history, and why it matters, on JSTOR Daily.

There are many reasons why machine generated content is plaguing the internet right now, but one we should take note of is that most people use the internet with a smartphone.

Now I'm not blaming you, or any ordinary user for that. This is not a 'phones bad' post. This is a post about the redistribution of computing.

More people have access to the internet now than in the past, that's true. But while the processing power of a modern smartphone is greater than whole desktop computers of past decades, its use as a terminal comparatively sucks:

It's harder to compose/edit text, code, and data on a cell phone than it is on a laptop or desktop computer.

Using dedicated applications meant for creating visual and audio content is harder than on a desktop or laptop computer.

Switching between multiple programs the way somebody with a project would need to isn't convenient.

Phones as terminals are mostly optimized to browse with minimal interaction.

This is great in some ways for those who own that internet. Cloud computing, gaming, storage, mean that instead of owning significant hardware, software, or memory yourself you'll pay over time for a company to own it for you, which will also benefit from everything you do entrust to their servers.

In other ways, this is a disaster. Expensive infrastructure facilitates web access for more users than ever before and the majority of them are completely passive. The "1% rule" has been true for a long time, but it's no longer voluntary: many users now do not have the interface to meaningfully interact with what they're paying to access even if they wanted to.

Machine-Generated content is just the next step that actually harnesses this redistribution of computing. Accessing more cloud services becomes the answer to your crappy phone's limitations. Typing in a prompt is pretty much the limit of ordinary human patience with a small touch screen. ChatGPT and other services are clearly being styled as a replacement for being able to do anything else, because most people can't with the kind of terminal they use.

A while ago I hosted a poll of various TADC related things I wanted to draw, and what you guys wanted to see next. I did not expect a short infographic involving Theater Etiquette to come in 2nd place. So here it is!!

This was meant to be simple, but, as expected, I went waaaay overboard lol. I'm actually super happy with how it turned out! This is one of the few pieces I am actually okay with you reposting to other sites WITH CREDIT. So go ham! Spread the word!

Edit: I've gotten a lot of comments about it, so i want to clarify that I also don't mind you printing this out and hanging it up if you have permission from a location to do so. I'm just not sure if I made the file large enough to do so, but good luck 👍

I got tickets for June 4th! Can't wait to see ya'll there!
