when you remember what happened to the word "woke" you'll never stop being mad. woke originally meant to "stay alert" during antiblack racial injustices that black individuals face and now it got turned into meme shit and it's genuinely infuriating when antiblack systemic oppression is still ongoing across the world.

"There's only one bed" scenes but it's the fucked up repressed gay bed from Revolutionary Girl Utena
the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.
Sometimes I do wish fanfiction was more mainstream because constantly telling people “oh i didn’t do much this weekend” makes me sound so boring whereas “i hunched over my keyboard gleefully cackling as i made The Characters snuggle” makes me sound utterly deranged but at least it’s INTERESTING
Hey do you know what rumination is?
Rumination is probably the most common type of OCD compulsion, but I rarely see anyone talking about it. I've talked to multiple people diagnosed with OCD who didn't even recognize it as a compulsion.
Basically, if you have OCD you have terrible intrusive thoughts. They can be about anything, but common themes are fear of being a bad person, fear of hurting someone, fear of contamination. etc.
Rumination is when you get stuck in a spiral. Rumination is when you spend hours catastrophizing, overthinking, analyzing, telling yourself it's going to be okay.
I'll say it again:
Rumination is a compulsion.
Rumination is a compulsion, and that means you have to stop doing it.
I did ERP (exposure response prevention) for my OCD with a therapist! For 9 months! And it did help, but the idea didn't really click until I found this website a couple years later.
And Oh My God. It made things make so much more sense, and I was able to pull myself out of an episode even though I wasn't in therapy or on meds at the time.
Genuinely if you have OCD, or even if you suspect you have OCD, I'm begging you to read some of these articles.
Like this was genuinely life changing for me.
Here are some of the ones that were most helpful to me:
Defining Rumination
How to Stop Ruminating
ERP Exercises for Compulsive Rumination
What to Do When You're Triggered
Just want to add that if you're on the spectrum, you may also experience Autistic Rumination, which is distinct from the obsessive variety, despite the two having some overlapping characteristics!
People without autism or OCD can also experience rumination! Often people with anxiety or depression experience it.
People don’t even say w00t anymore.

I know why you drew him. Because he is beautiful.
rent-lowering gunshot time. i think a reflexive anti-AI stance can be reactionary because there are legitimately good use cases for the technology in scientific research, although it is often overhyped. i also think most people use AI in incredibly stupid ways
I've seen this take before, and I think it comes from a conflation of the two different kinds of AI: analytical and generative.
Analytical AI is the kind that can "look" at photos of X rays and determine whether someone has breast cancer, or "listen" to bird calls and determine which bird is making that sound. (Using quotes here because these technologies are not "intelligent" - they can't actually look or listen.) These technologies grew out of scripted bots and other automated flows and are incredibly helpful in scientific research.
Generative AI is the kind that takes prompts and mashes existing text and art, created by real humans, into something "new" (really something wildly violating of intellectual property laws). It's not properly intelligent either, more accurately being termed a "large language model". Companies started using the "AI" name for marketing purposes in both cases, analytical and generative.
Generative AI is also the kind that companies are using to prey on many people's loneliness, erode people's critical thinking skills in favor of convincing them they can't do simple tasks, and trick particularly gullible world leaders into thinking they need it to wage war. It regularly hallucinates information because it's not intelligent, and unlike analytical AI, generative AI companies are actively pushing consumers to expect the technology to be capable of more than it actually is, resulting in more and more inaccuracies that could lead to dire consequences.
OP, you're correct that analytical AI is not bad. However, there's been a concerted effort by companies to convince us all that these two very disparate technologies are the same thing, and they're not. Right now, computers can analyze pictures and follow prompts to determine whether you've got some kinds of cancer. They cannot write you a book on which mushrooms are edible or tell you whether you should call your mom. In the second case, they can only plagiarize lots of other people's work and use highly emotional language to convince you that you're right.
sometimes i think i can probably pass as masc and maybe even as a straight guy but any time i engage in conversation with a kind stranger i have a demeanor not unlike a princely rich girl archetype in a 2000s manga and frequently extend my hand in an elegant manner which has caused a number of drunken individuals on nights out to kiss my hand as if i were a beautiful ojousama and not a greasy mechanic
every time i talk in work i feel this image manifest in my mind like a specter that torments me

How can we go back to being friends when we just shared a bed?
we have to start running a massive PSA campaign to young gay people so everyone understands there is a difference between being a dom and being a top and between being a sub and being a bottom. and also that sometimes you are neither a sub nor a bottom and you're just like shy. we need to be handing out flyers we need ads at every train station spreading the word
