as we see reprisals of Y2K skinny culture (as part of fascism) people are making a lot of posts like ‘if you’re too young to remember, it was so toxic. people shamed [skinny woman] for being fat!’ and perhaps it’s useful to bring up someone like kate winslet circa 1999 being fatshamed to express how truly dire the situation was/is but i find it increasingly frustrating that the response seems by and large to be ‘wow that’s awful! she wasn’t even fat!’ [so clearly that was wrong!] and not the real point: ‘so imagine how horrible it was for actual fat people, who also don’t deserve the far worse treatment they got/get.’

tl:dr if your response to fatphobic bullying/harrassment is “but they’re not even fat,” you have not gotten to the core issue. you haven’t even considered the core issue.

lots of people in the tags pointing out the same thing about transphobia and especially transmisogyny where instead of centering trans women in conversations about transmisogyny, it turns into defending cis women who are mistaken for trans women like “and she’s not even trans!” instead of saying “we shouldn’t treat trans women that way.” you’re not derailing you’re 100% correct

I know you detest AI (And for good reasons) but do you think it’s morally wrong to use it for let’s say, using it for writing ideas to help your stories. Like you still write the story yourself but sometimes you get stuck and then you use AI to like advise on what’s the best way to write in novel format and what word could be used. I’m just asking for your thoughts cause I feel like you seem to be the one to ask since I look up to you.

I personally believe there is no ethical use of generative AI. Whether it's the resources it uses to make content (both the sources it bases the content on and the energy/water/power it drains in order to function) or the final result itself, I view it as morally wrong all around.

Listen, art is challenging and difficult, but that's also what makes it so rewarding. All artists go through periods where we struggle how to accomplish something or how to approach this next part of our story, but working through that is part of the artistic journey and helps you grow and become even better. Also, if you're really stuck I recommend brainstorming with your friends. You'd be amazed at what you can come up with when you have a bunch of creatives bouncing ideas off each other and you'll engage in some human connection that way.

I can't stop people from using it but I'm also not going to condone the use of it either.

I 👏 don’t 👏 care. 👏

I don’t 👏 want 👏to use it.👏

I'm of the opinion that this AI bubble is going to pop and people are going to lose interest. I feel that that's already happening. And even if that doesn't happen, I still believe there will be enough people out there that crave that human connection, that long for that human touch in art and poetry and story and will seek it out. If I just give up and let genAI do what I love to do, then I'm a part of the problem.

But even if we end up in the worst possible scenario of a fucked up dystopian future where the use of generative AI is somehow mandatory, I'm still going to believe it isn't the right thing to do. This isn't debatable to me. I don't want anything to do with it.

On the one hand, this year’s April Fools gag just being a game of centipede is kind of lazy, but on the other hand, I am sincerely relieved whenever this website shows any signs of life at all. I am glad they had the budget to do something for April Fools.

Being on Tumblr in 2026 is a lot like owning an extremely elderly cat and April Fools is like watching your geriatric pet get the zoomies. She’s still got it! She’ll live forever.

So my birthday is literally in a week and do woke to my first grey hair….. it’s time to wrap this life shit up

So the fun part about GenZ slang being almost 100% AAVE is that I have a dictionary from 2001, from before I was old enough to even know how to use a dictionary, right? And this ain't that abridged shit this is the three columns 8 point font, pages made of tissue paper bound into a book that is 4-5 inches thick shit. You follow?

And there are all these reports on how new slang is and how to understand it and getting it wrong. BUT 2001 GOT ME

the joy of working with middle school aged children is that, regardless of how long you've been doing it, they will always find novel ways to annoy and confuse you, which is okay because that's the natural state of the middle school aged child. anyway suffice it to say that for the past three weeks of school my 6th grade class has been greeting me at my door by lining up outside of it, playing the national anthem, and saluting me as i walk in.
