is it a hot take to say that i think you need to understand why something is bad, not just that it simply is?
this is a part of the problem
you need to be able to explain why you shouldnt use ai rather than “oh well its obviously bad and you shouldnt use it or else youre a bad person” because that isn’t logic. “ai generates child porn based off of real children and whether or not it does is entirely up to how it is built and if pedophiles are able to find ways around those safeguards, because ai cannot in itself discern right from wrong” is a genuine criticism. “amazon tried to build a data center the size of tuson outside of tuson just to power their ai that would’ve increased the inability to stay alive outside in parts of arizona” is a genuine criticism. even “using generative ai teaches you not to learn how to do things yourself even when they’re difficult, devaluing necessary skills out of practice” is a genuine criticism when you look at the amount of people who think they are able of doing a difficult major when they couldnt write their own papers in high school.
but “ai is just bad because it’s bad” will convince no one and is a morally lazy position to take. about anything!
you need to know why reading someone’s diary is wrong if you want to learn about privacy and respect. you need to know why child sexual assault is wrong if you want to be able to help children form healthy age appropriate relationships. you need to know why capitalism is bad if you want to replace it with something else. you need actual concrete ideas and ideologies rather than “you should agree with me because i have the right vibe”
i'm so absolutely fucked it's funny

How to deal with the "pre-burnout" feeling as a student.
Finals week just passed and i felt so out of my body, nauseous and weak. Clearly, i didn't take care of myself and was about to burnout.
So, here are 5 tips to not get burntout, from a student that stays consistent in her academic progress while taking care of herself:
Deal with your hair:
Seriously, this step is way too overlooked but please if your hair is tangled, detangle it. If it's dirty, wash it. To my curly hair girlies, i understand the struggle that styling your hair can be, so even if it's a bit unhygienic, just brush your hair and braid it, or put it in a slick back bun until you have the energy and time to wash it and style it. But really, take a warm shower if you can!
If necessary, take ONE day off:
Listen, last year i was the person that always skipped school at every minor inconvinience. That's not me anymore. So if you know you're at the brink of a burn-out, take one day off, just one. And don't feel guilty if you know you need it. However, there are a few rules to follow: as soon as you wake up (after getting at least 8 hours of sleep) text a classmate of yours or email a teacher asking today's lessons and catch up as soon as you get them. Don't put it off for later, you have the time. Also, no doomscrolling or intense sudying. That day is only about you resting.
Drink a hot cup of tea/water:
The perfect tea to drink if you feel unwell and exhausted is ginger tea since it can reduce nausea and bloating. Personally, a ginger-and-pear tea always makes me feel lighter. If you don't like tea, you can drink a warm cup of water!
Put all the mess that's on your mind on paper:
Exactly. Journaling. Just take a blank sheet of paper and face the buzz in your head and question yourself. Are afraid a professor is going to be disapointed in you? They aren't the one deciding your worth. Honestly, they don't even care that much about you either. Are you decieved after getting bad grades? That's okay, we expect high rewards in exchange of high effort. But in reality, the thing is that we might get a direct reward like a good grade, be we get and even even bigger indirect rewards: dicipline and the knowledge of what yyou're supposedly doing wrong while studying. If you failed, you know why now. Eventually, you'll find your own answers on the same sheet of paper you wrote your worries on. I find that crying while writing makes me lighter. Let it all out, really.
Declutter your room.
Clothes don't weigh a ton, picking them up won't break your back, trust me... Put on a 15 minute timer (or 5 songs) and tidy your room. Then put on one of your favorite songs and clean your deskspace. That's it. It'll feel like a breath of fresh air. Then again, put on a slow song you like, maybe jazz, open the window and look out. The scenery is not important here, knowing that there's more to life than school and the four wall you are in is.
Take care, lilyborngood <3

A documentary about India featured women speaking about their abusive marriages and men discussing the hazards of educating women. It was more than a decade ago, and even now, nothing has changed. The society’s perception of women has not changed at all. Marital rape is still legal. Abusive marriages are shoved under the guise of keeping the family together for the kids.
Criminalizing marital rape would be “excessively harsh,” the Indian government has said, in a blow to campaigners ahead of a long-awaited Supreme Court decision that will affect hundreds of millions of people in India for generations.
In India, it is not considered rape if a man forces sex or sexual acts on his wife, as long as she is over 18, due to an exception in a British colonial-era law. India has struggled for years to tackle high rates of violence against women, with a number of high-profile rape cases sparking nationwide anger and drawing international headlines.
The government’s formal opposition to the marital rape criminalization campaign comes two months after the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in the West Bengal city of Kolkata sparked mass outrage and protests in the country, with hundreds of thousands of doctors striking to demand better protection for health workers.
On Monday, a man was charged with her rape and murder, an official source at the Central Bureau of Investigation told CNN.
‘Consent is consent’
In its argument against criminalization, the Indian government said that a woman’s consent is protected in marriage, but there is “a continuing expectation, by either of the spouse, to have reasonable sexual access from the other.”
It added that, “though these expectations do not entitle the husband to coerce or force his wife into sex, the consequences of such violations within marriage differ from those outside of it.”
The government also claimed existing laws on sexual and domestic violence were sufficient to “protect consent within marriage.”
Mariam Dhawale, General Secretary of the All India Democratic Women’s Association – one of the petitioners fighting for criminalization – said consent inside and outside of marriage are “not two different things.”
"Consent is consent,” she said. “In our country, a woman is not thought of as an independent human being, as an independent citizen of the country. She is like, sort of an appendage to the husband. She’s subordinate, she’s not a separate identity as such.”
Shifting that belief will take more than changing a law, but it’s the “first step,” said Bharadwaj.
“It’s a cultural revolution underneath,” she said. “Until and unless you make a big statement that this is not okay, the culture will never shift, because by not having that law, the culture is accepting of that violence.”
Dhawale said marital rape is a big part of the violence reported by women who seek help from her organization, but they often avoid coming out in the open with their allegations.
"Because they know that nobody will believe them, and it’s not considered a crime,” she said.
Do you know how many women out there in India get sexually assaulted in a day? I am only talking about the reported cases. Who knows how many are unreported. Do you know how many wives out there must be getting assaulted by their husbands and yet can't go to the court because marital rape is legalised in India and according to the court, it's the wife’s duty to please her husband. Think about the women of my country. What kind of hell they all must be going through. I am privileged enough to have the autonomy to make my own decisions and I do take full advantage of it, yet my hands tremble as I write about the state of the less privileged women in my country.
Stand against Marital Rape in India.
Stand against the decision of Supreme Court.
Save the women of India. Let them live. Let them be free.
All their friends say they are already dating lol
2025 was the year I realized just how much doom scrolling has cost me. My reading capacity, memory, consistency, creativity, ability to keep working hard, etc etc. I used to be the kid with shelves of books and now I haven't read the ones I bought years ago. I can barely keep track of time and the days just fly by, I don't even know what I did during most of them. I obviously can work hard but not persistently, I've lost the ability to put in effort day by day to reap the reward in the end, I'm either hard on myself or I give up and stop caring when I don't achieve something immediately. I barely have any hobbies anymore, its been replaced by scrolling. This has generally been normalized so much tbh, so many people I know don't have hobbies anymore. Even my english is getting worse, while I know my native language instinctively, I hadn't realized that I had to keep reading to not forget vocabulary and basic grammar lol. But this is not who I want to be anymore. I don't like this version of myself, I don't want to be this stupid, useless, and incompetent. I want to change, I want to be better and do better for myself. I've been privileged enough to receive the sort of education and opportunities so many around the world have been denied. Hell, I do genuinely believe I have the brains, I've just not been using it right. I have tried to get my life before so many times before, but I hadn't properly realized where I was going wrong and I've never had the drive I have now. It won't be easy, but I hope 2026 is going to be my year
