starting to suspect that tech bros actually just don’t know what reading is

[menaceanon]

I know I just reblogged this but I think the really important takeaway here is that this techbro is not genuinely asking “how can we improve fanfiction?” What he’s asking is “how can we tap into this massive market?”

I keep thinking about how many of these chat bots are free—for now. And of course they are! It’s a classic marketing technique when you’re trying to get your foot in the door with a novel product: let folks use it, let them get used to it, then start charging for it. You don’t have to look any further than streaming to see a very recent example of how this happens.

And it’s going to happen with AI.

There’s nothing these assholes love more than making money off of other people’s hard work. But you can’t legally charge for fanfic! So how do you get around that? You charge for a chat bot (which you trained on other people’s fanfic). You can’t charge for the content, but you can charge for the thing that produces the content.

AI is theft, and there are a whooooole lot of people gleefully looking to make a buck off of our hard work.

Don’t use AI, don’t feed AI your favorite fic writers’ and artists’ work, don’t read AI fic, don’t engage with it. And if you do, well, I can’t force you to give a shit about other people, but AI is a paywall being built, brick by brick, between you and the things you love. Stop slathering on the mortar.

"What if you could chat with your favorite character?!" like Tumblr hasn't been home to a thousand 'In Character' character blogs that do nothing but answer questions already.

[zwoelffarben]

I f you want to look at the future of chatbot monetization, Replika quite literally already exists to squeeze money out of you by parasocializing you to an algorythm.

If you want it to be your 'girlfriend' or 'wife' that costs a premium.

If you want it to 'know' about specific topics like sports or movies, that's also a premium.

If you want to dress it in cosmetic skins, you guessed it: premium.

the great migration is slow but it is going

[traumasurvivors]

Some of us aren’t strong. We survived because there was no alternative. The only way through was… through.

But it’s okay if we aren’t one of the strong ones. We are still just as valuable and deserving of credit and support for surviving.

(And before anyone comes on here to tell me that I’m wrong and I’m strong, that’s not your place. I’m not strong. And I don’t say that as a bad thing. I’m okay with it and admitting it has allowed me to heal. It isn’t a moral failing to not be strong.)

[queenuchiha89]

I don't like this. I think anyone that has had to survive trauma, is strong. Even if it's was because they had no other choice or alternative. And YES we are ALL deserving of love and support. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[traumasurvivors]

If you don’t like this, then this post isn’t for you. This post is for those of us who detest being called strong and we have a right to decide that. We have a right to decide whether we want to identify as strong.

And some of us don’t want to be strong. And it isn’t some moral failing or bad thing. It’s a neutral thing imo. Some of us have very valid reasons for not wanting to be “strong” or called it.

Three French teens suspected of antisemitic rape of 12-year-old Jewish girl

* * *

Jewish girl, 12, gang raped in Paris in apparent antisemitic attack

Three boys ages 12-14 beat girl while shouting antisemitic epithets and then raped her in an abandoned hangar; the girls ex-boyfriend accuse

France detains three boys suspected of anti-Semitic rape of girl: police

French authorities have detained three boys suspected of the rape motivated by anti-Semitism of a 12-year-old girl outside Paris, police and

I’m not copying the text for this story because it is extremely triggering - only read it if you feel able to do so - but this is what months of not only rampant Jew hatred, but also widespread denial and mocking of rape and rape victims gets. this comes after the kidnapping and rape of a Jewish woman in France less than two months ago, that also made basically no noise outside of Jewish circles and Jewish-focused news outlets. now we’re talking about a 12 year old. I doubt this will garner any attention either, but this is what the silence of the world on how damaging and dangerous this is has done.

these boys, now rapists, didn’t only learn this from Hamas, they learned it from the response - from the people who roll their eyes when asked to believe victims, from the people who make cartoons of hostages depicted as pigs, from the people who post constant conspiracies and disinformation, from the people who say Jewish girls are too ugly to be raped, from the people who call atrocities “resistance.” this is that global intifada they’re asking for.

[chutzpahchesed]

there are simply no words for my fury and pain anymore.

this will never get widespread coverage, except from Jews and Jewish outlets. no feminist activists will speak about this. no one out protesting, claiming to be for human rights, will condemn this. no one who’s been denying rape, denying that Jew hatred is even happening while they actively perpetuate it, will condemn this. what’s it going to take? what else has to happen? because this is escalating. is it going to take another mass murder at a synagogue or a JCC, or will that not even make a difference (because they’ll likely accuse the victims of (((zionism))) for existing while Jewish, not worth mourning)? this is a CHILD. there will be no outrage from goyim, who’ve made a conflict they know nothing about their entire personalities as they’ve harassed Jewish people for eight months straight, of how their violent rhetoric has fed this, but if they want to talk complicity, here it is. they’ve helped do this.

every time I think my heart cannot get more broken, there’s another reason.

[rustytiffany]

it feels important to recognize that not only is the girl a child, but all three of the boys are children too. this is not adult men with fully developed frontal cortexes making horrific choices, these are young teens who have learned this behavior from the adult men around them. these are the people who will be running the world in the next couple of generations. this is teaching children that hatred of and violence against Jews is justified and acceptable, righteous even.

if that doesn’t absolutely terrify you, then I don’t know what to say to you.

New York City ballet production of Midsummer Nights Dream

[thepeelingrenoir]

The fact this isn't a painting is a testament to one of the greatest feats of set design and production I've ever seen.

[thepeelingrenoir]

My god just look at this! The lighting, set design, photography... I've just never seen anything like it.

I think this is the first time I've ever been wowed by "this ISN'T a painting"!

[teaboot]

Please don't ask me for relationship advice unless you are prepared to receive some truly upsetting information because some people are ready for the "He's exhibiting the literal textbook signs of a psychological abuser and you need to get away from him before he successfully cuts you off from your support network" talk and some people aren't

[teaboot]

FOR WHOEVER NEEDS A REMINDER:

There is never any justification for someone putting their hands on you in any way without your consent short of immediate risk of harm or death.

If someone tells you that "the way I'm acting is your fault because you know that doing X thing would make me do it and you chose to do it anyway" is just fancy bullshit talk for, "I know my behaviour is wrong, but I don't want to be held responsible for it so I'm pushing it on you"

Nothing good ever, ever comes from someone who tells you, "I don't want you talking about our relationship with anyone". This person cannot handle accepting responsibility and processing criticism so they need you to never, ever question them. That's easier if they control the narrative and your friends aren't there to cut in.

Nothing constructive comes from screaming.

"It's not like that all the time" is optimistic and sweet, but the truth is, it shouldn't be like that at all. Sweet words and gifts and gestures don't erase being frightened for yourself or for your loved ones. That is not normal. Don't minimize it.

It is not healthy or normal to be genuinely afraid of saying "no" to someone, for any reason at all. Violence, outbursts, retaliation, anything. You should not have to be afraid of someone's reaction to your boundaries.

You are not responsible for saving anyone. Even if you love them. Even if they have nobody else. At the end of the day, if they want to hurt themselves in any way, they will, and you can't stop them forever. People need to want to improve before they can actually improve, and if they're threatening to harm themselves to keep you around, they're using your love to hold themselves hostage. You do not decide their choices for them, and they don't get to shunt that off on you.

There will always be other people who can love you better. You will not be alone forever. This will not be the last time you care for someone like this and it will not be the last time someone cares for you

This applies to ALL relationships btw

Heyy guess who missed the 1 year anniversary of this post and the end of the friendship that inspired it

Hey Boo, your boyfriend's still an abusive toxic shitsack, hope you realized you deserve better by now ♡

[wizened-beanie-baby-moved]

"everybody hates me" factoid actually just a statistical error. The average person doesn't hate you, especially not your friends. You, a person who sits in your room experiencing self loathing every day, are an outlier adn should not have been counted.

"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.

It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).

Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.

One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.

*Yes, this is a blog post, but it's a blog post filled with links to news articles. If you can click one link, you can click another.

[knottahooker]

Please, PLEASE use Libby. OverDrive. Hoopla. CloudLibrary. Kanopy. Flipster. Freegal. Transparent Language. Mango. Jstor. Your library would not offer it if they could not afford it, and we afford things by reporting the number of people who use that service, so if you don't use the service we can't afford it. It's a cycle. Keep it going, keep using it, and we'll keep providing because we'll be able to justify the cost to the bean counters in government.
