measure once cut also once, no prablem
#i know i already reblogged this but i need to like. cross stitch it or carve it into wood or quilt it or something
concept for a vcarving project
no i get you this was perfectly centered when i wrote it
I have done the cross stitch
something thats funny about bugs is that my grandma Hates Bugs and she is constantly constantly spraying any bug she finds in her house especially spiders. always using massive amounts of poison.
I do not use any poisons or insecticides and I actively encourage my house spiders
the result is that her home is full of poison-resistant cockroaches and nothing else, while mine is a healthy bug ecosystem of Mostly Spiders and sometimes the junebugs who like to come die in my sink. and the moths that I have to rescue from Glimmer. but no roaches!
pest control is just such a scam and it troubles me deeply how normalized it is idk. people react with revulsion when I'm like "no I just encourage the house spiders and they do a pretty good job" bc they are classing house spiders as equally bad as every other bug and that's TERRIBLE bc bugs are TERRIBLE due to they're YUCKY
rather than like. some bugs will leave you alone. some bugs want to eat you or your house. other bugs pose health and safety hazards bc they want to infest your cornflakes. a healthy crop of house spiders will prevent all of these from becoming a problem much of the time, barring extreme circumstances
I think the pest control industry is one of the worst ones and a lot of that is honestly ideological if that makes sense? like the way the existence of the pest control industry necessitates a narrative about animals that live in and near our homes that is. well. extremely violent and weirdly sterile and aggressive
can we kill Charlie kirk again that would just really cheer me up
not using AI genuinely feels like the rest of the world is experiencing some kind of mass amnesia. if someone says they never use it, the immediate response is that can't be true because "everyone" uses it to write their emails or answer their questions. saw a comment suggesting that not using chatgpt to write an essay is "like the 90s". girl I graduated in 2021 and we weren't doing that! how is it that everyone has suddenly forgotten that they were entirely capable of doing these things all by themselves for their entire lives up until the past few years!! am I going crazy!!!
I NEED HELP
I have absolutely no money. I am in an extreme amount of pain from a tooth infection and I don’t have any pain killers or soft food to eat. Please please PLEASE if you can spare ANY money for me to get things like Tylenol and like, ramen or apple sauce or pudding or ANYTHING. I need help. I can barely open my mouth my jaw hurts so bad. The left side of my face is on fire. I’m running a low fever. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN.
I haven’t been able to eat in a few days now. Please please PLEASE PLEASE HELP.

Gemini had the fucking GALL to get in my email and summarize a 3-line email, taking up more space than the email did visually.
Hit the “thumbs down.” It’s like, what’s wrong??? Was our summary wrong? Were there offensive words? Thank you for helping us improve our AI tools :)
I selected “other.”
Text box popped up. Please elaborate!
Wrote in “I can fucking read” submit comment
Then had to spend several minutes torching all my settings with a flamethrower. Let me be clear: I’m (a lawyer) notoriously picky with my words FOR GOOD REASON (lawyering) so I overwhelmingly reject Gmail’s “helpful” little assistance. My privacy settings were set to “full paranoia” a little less than a year ago when I saw the writing on the wall and knew public defenders could become a target in the future. Better to lock it all down now.
Gemini had crept in there and turned ALL that shit back on. And showed itself by saying “Jane Doe says she’s so sorry for your loss and offers to reschedule for Thursday at 3” over an email from Jane Doe saying “I’m so sorry for your loss. We could reschedule for Thursday at 3?”
Why would I possibly need this. In what universe would I need this. I have eyes and a brain and a reading speed that twenty years ago was measured at 1500 wpm with full comprehension on dense scientific text. Furthermore! If I read a summary, I’m not reading what they actually wrote. If I’m not reading what they actually wrote, I’m not using my own judgment on the words and phrases that they used.
I literally don’t understand why this is helpful at all. This is just avoidance. Using LLMs to write is specifically Not Writing. Using LLMs to summarize is Not Reading. Using them to make art is Avoiding Making Art. Just READ! Just WRITE! I was not put on this fucking planet to not read and not write and not make art! Avoidance is an anxiety symptom and indulging it gives it more power.
If I had an AI to do my most dreaded task, answer the phone for clients, I wouldn’t use it. Because an AI cannot help them. An AI cannot hear the facts of their case, make appropriate noises, be thoughtful and insightful, and then give them a realistic estimate of what could happen in court. I am unique. I cannot be replaced by machine learning. I have style. I have expertise. I don’t hallucinate unless I’m having a really great Friday night and I’m off the clock.
When I need to outsource tasks from my own brain, I give them to people I know can do them and that I trust to do them right.
Fuck, it just sneaks up on you, doesn’t it?? Goddamn Gemini jumpscare right in my own fucking email
"Where do you see yourself in 40 years?"
me:
you know that furry spectrum meme. there's an evil version of it.
i call this the taur scale.
there is an exact range of horse (or other animal) within which a creature is at its most uncanny and it is somewhere between 75-100%. outside of that range it is fine. within that range it is considered "nightmare fuel". i am unsure what the optimum point within that range is.
Do you ever wonder how many stories have been told about you? I don’t mean rumors or gossip. A story like “ one time I was at the mall and this girl dropped her hotdog but she picked it up and ate it” what if I’m that girl??how many times have people seen me do something I thought no one saw and is now being used as an ice breaker at a family dinner? Hmmmmmm?!???!
one time i was in this historical park in new york and i was climbing a tree in order to get a good photo and i fell out just as a family was walking past…two years later i ran into the mom at stop&shop and she gasped and said “oh my god, tree girl?” and i’ve never been the same since
The world is very small. Never forget that.
"without modifying" how dare you insult the hard work of our landlords
Rb to give a touch starved trans woman a hug that'll make her break down
So, mature content huh Tumblr? Hugging trans women is mature content? Fucking *fascinating*
i’m undiagnosing everyone’s everything. congratulations we are all free
this is a conservative talking point
do you have any more important dispatches from the poop dungeon
anyway i looked up the post about seeing your grandma's boobs and tumblr has deleted the screenshot of the story where the finnish dude says that americans are "like that" because they haven't seen their grandma's tits
good job tumblr 👍
there it is!
my comments on that post were (sorry for shamelessly copy-pasting them):
american attitudes about nudity are fucking wild, and the worst part is that because they're american, they just assume that everyone everywhere thinks the same. i will never forget seeing people on a left-leaning, progressive site saying that families bathing together is creepy and gross and clearly a sign that something is wrong with the family, that they'd never seen their siblings or parents naked and would in fact rather die. meanwhile to this day i bathe and go to the sauna with my sister and mother and have been bathing and sauna'ing with various family members - and even strangers! - my whole life. but yes, can confirm, seeing your grandma's tits as a child does you good, and not just because it teaches you that "beauty is fake and temporary", but because it broadens your ideas about what beauty even is in the first place. my sister and i used to spend our summers at our grandma's house by the countryside and frequently bathed and went to sauna with her. we saw not just her breasts but also her flabby skin, her moles and liver spots, her body hair and varicose veins, and we didn't see any of that as weird or ugly because they were a part of our grandma who we loved very much. and when we see those things in other people - ourselves included! - we think "well it wasn't ugly on my grandma's body, so why would it be ugly on anyone else's body?". it makes you much more understanding and "forgiving", if you will, towards the completely normal bodies of strangers as well as your own body.
