Celestia Starshine's Personal Tumblr

My name is Celestia Starshine, but you can call me Tia. She/they pronouns. Most of the posts here are untagged, but I will go through all of my accounts and tag posts. I will also try my best to trigger tag posts. Let me know if anything needs to be tagged on any of my accounts here.

My name is Celestia Starshine, but you can call me Tia. This is a side blog specifically for more serious stuff, as I don't want that to clog my main blog. If you want to know more about me, my main blog is @unicornlovers10 and this is my Carrd.

Quick rebloops won't be tagged, but I'll try my best to tag them later.

(Also don't worry, I will trigger tag stuff.)

i don’t ever wanna see dr phil used in a joke or meme ever again that guy puts kids in residential treatment centers that exist to abuse kids so parents don’t have to. kids die in those programs. dr phil kills and humiliates children and nothing about anything he’s ever done has ever been funny. i’ve been in the troubled teen industry i’ve heard stories from the “dr phil ranches” and i’m so beyond sick of seeing this monster in jokes and memes like he’s just some funny weird guy. this guy kills kids.

trans women should not have to be sexy to you for you to respect them. Aaaaaand post

[undeadentropy]

Peak trans woman experience is knowing you can remove the word trans from any sentence about our struggle and everyone will easily recognize it as a true and valid battle against patriarchy. But the moment trans is inserted back and we get radio silence from half the people who would otherwise agree. If we're lucky.

being black in any art community is such a strange feeling cause you’ll see just blatant racism being expressed in others art and you have to just casually ignore it, for your sake if anything, colorism being something that’s just fundamentally there in every artist and you deal with it cause it’s not worth it in the end to even think of it too hard let alone even mentioning it, it’s definitely something

[creatingblackcharacters]

Hello nonblack reader of this post, I think you ought to share this one so that you and your peers can actively remind yourselves 1) of how your Black peers feel when you tolerate antiblack racism in your art spaces for entertainment and 2) that we notice it, but don't believe it is secure around enough of you to bring it up 🙏🏾

Welp. Google's AI horseshit has arrived. And I'm not complying. They can pry my ID out of my cold dead hands. I will simply go elsewhere. Remember folks, DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR IDs. Do not comply. Resist, fight it, use other browsers or sources beyond youtube and google controlled services. Call them. Email them. Make noise. Fight back.

I've been using Google as my main mail service since 2006, and every single account or service I've ever signed up for was made with that address. For a long time I thought it'd be impossible to divorce myself from Google.

It took less than 5 minutes to switch to a ProtonMail account, less than 2 hours to download and/or offload every byte of data from my Google account, and less than 3 days to change every single account or service I've ever signed up for to the new address.

As of today, the only single one I have that's still tied to it is YouTube. It's the only thing I'd lose access to if I deleted my Google acount entirely.

They really, really want you to believe that it's a hassle to switch to a different email system. But it's not. Most websites and/or services allow you to change the email address associated with it.

I've been using Google for almost 2 decades and it only took a few days to move everything. It's not a painful sacrifice; it's an easy change that, frankly, has absolutely been worth it.

Proton Shoutout

You can and should switch to a free, encrypted Proton email account. You also get all of the below perks. For free. There is no trick. It is paid for by the people with paying plans. I am one of them. The (completely functional) free tier is there to entice you into getting a paid account with even more perks. (It worked on me.) But there's no penalty or pressure for staying with the free account.

Also get your stuff off the google drive and put it on Proton's drive. It is encrypted. Only you with your password can access it. Not even Proton can see what you put in there.

[tzikeh]

Switch everything away from Google. It's easy and it's important. Read above, click the link for Proton, download your gmail and switch.

Aphobic douche bag alert!

This fecker had other various phobias are an opinion stuff, which…fine. I said ‘you need to add that aphobia is an opinion’ on it. This was his response, fecking ignorant bigoted cunt.

[thomasconfessionssecondcoming]

I want to append this post with these screenshots because THIS has to be one the most beautiful, honest things I’ve heard as an asexual person. It’s a truth so poetically honest, we deserve to be reminded of. Honestly. It’s a stunning positivity that counteracts the above negativity.

“Cats don’t actually love you”

A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.

Don’t you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it’s helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.

Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.

And he’s upset why?

[clueingforbeggs]

This is a behind the scenes from a TV show. He’s the guy who plays the character whose gravestone it is. He’s mad that people are memeing a behind the scenes photo of a fictional character’s death because he happens to play that character.

[analog-machine]

I’m not sure if I should laugh or hit my head on the desk over this one.

[a-little-bit-scary]

The face I just made 🙄

[peregrinsonofpaladin]

My favourite part that this is leaving out is that by the end he and the rest of the cast weren’t getting along and they did a full on photoshoot in front of his grave.

[starcunning]

if he doesn’t want us to use THAT photo, it seems like we’ve got three malicious-compliance-ready replacements right here

[costumersupportdept]

prev tags tell the rest of the story:

#this is also a guy who crossed the SAG-AFTRA strike line#so he kinda deserves us to keep posting this meme for all eternity

[parkchanwoohoo]

You have to admit it's funny

[bearcatcatbear]

Generative AI is not capable of thinking or panicking.

GENERATIVE AI IS NOT CAPABLE OF THINKING OR PANICKING.

This chatbot received negative feedback after it wrongly predicted, based on its training data, the correct action to take.

It did what chatbots do when they get negative feedback, which is to generate a response (derived from lots of real human apologies) that will satisfy the user.

There are semantics involved in how we use the word "think." We say computers are "thinking" all the time when no computer has ever had a "thought" in any way that resembles a human mind—a thing that remains more or less of a black box, philosophically, that we can affect and observe but whose fundamental workings are deeply unknown.

But there are no semantics involved in "panic." "Panic" is an emotional state. The AI didn't "panic," it followed the same decision-making process it always uses and got the answer wrong. It wasn't stressed out. It wasn't surprised. That's all absurd.

It's lying—with the sole caveat that it isn't even capable of knowing that it's lying, because it is just a fancy, fancy chatbot.

But the people building and selling them and convincing people to entrust them with the power to destroy huge amounts of real human work?

Those people are ABSOLUTELY lying.

[greentrickster]

The fact that you're absolutely right about all this is honestly what makes it funny to me. Also, if I stop laughing, I'll remember all the reasons this situation should have me screaming, and I don't wanna scream right now, I'm tired.

Do not obey in advance...you are only teaching power what it can do.

[vaspider]

Once you understand that "cringe" as a condemnation only has power over people who are ashamed or afraid to engage earnestly and joyfully with the things they love during their one brief and fragile human life, it will lose all power over you.

You will be free.
