Holy shit you guys, I just got a book in the mail. And it's not just any old book either....

IT'S MINE!!!!!

@slouchingcontradiction made it for me and isn't it so cool????? It's got the title in the classic outlast 1 title font and the glass shard on the front of it is even reflective! And she splattered some paint on the side of the pages to make it look like blood!

And that's not even everything either! She even put in a praise page with lines from actual comments and just look at these title pages for each chapter, they're so cool and I love love love the pictures that she used to hint at an important bit in each chapter!

And even though she said that the end papers were chosen on vibes, my god the vibes were so on point holy crap.

Like that first one with the red swirls and the black little blobs mixed in just brings to mind all the not so fun things that are now swirling around in everyone's blood and brain. And the second one just looks so much like blood running between and over cobblestones and if that isn't perfect for the ending (iykyk lol) than I don't know what is!

But I think my favourite part is this particular page cause oh my god.

Absolutely how I wish I could have used that in the fic itself. Just bold and in your face with the messy scratched writing and in red to burn carve it in your mind.

Ellie did such a good job and it's perfect and i love it and her so much holy shit. Best book I own now bar fucking none 😭😭😭😭😭

If you were ever taught not to bother anyone unless it's really, really important, you might now struggle with the idea that no really, your friends would love to hear from you just because and not only when one of you is in crisis

Listening to the Super Mario RPG OST on vinyl as I'm washing dishes and words can not explain my confusion when Battle 2 from Final Fantasy 4 started playing. Only for the confusion to deepen when the very next track was the victory fanfare, followed by the ever classic Final Fantasy prelude

Like I'm listening to a Mario soundtrack right now, the fuck is happening

So! This is a perfect case study in situations where you should be wary of misinformation.

Take a moment and ask yourself, a project like this requires a lot of time, money and dedication of resources, why would scientists dedicate that time to something that could just be done by a tree?

The answer is they wouldn't. So that means this claim requires further investigation!

This project is called LIQUID 3, and it's not meant for cities with wide open spaces, it's meant for cities like Belgrade in Serbia. These cities are densely populated and heavily polluted, to the point where pollution actually chokes out current trees and makes creating green spaces difficult.

Liquid 3 was a PhD scientists answer to these problems. The microalgae tank is intended for spaces where you either:

Don't have enough space to plant full trees, or

Don't have enough time to plant trees and wait for them to grow up.

The tank is extremely efficient when you consider the amount of space needed compared to the amount of CO2 turned into oxygen. The tank can operate throughout the winter. And most importantly, it can be quickly set up in areas that desperately need relief from air pollution NOW not in 10 years when trees are done growing. Children currently suffocating on polluted air can't wait for trees to grow, they need to be taken care of now, and Liquid 3 is one of the ways to take care of them. Depending on the species of microalgea used, a number have shown a pretty amazing capacity to pull heavy metals out of the air which is something trees can get choked up by.

The tanks aren't just tanks either! Liquid 3 have solar panels placed on top, they have lighting and mobile phone charging, and they work as public benches. The designers of it want to encourage green spaces where there's room, but where there isn't room or time, Liquid 3 can step in. Realistically, this isn't a replacement for trees. It's replacing boring metal city benches with new, cooler benches that also clean the air (and have at least some heating during the winter).

Not only that, but the microalgea that grows is native to Serbia and all that microalgea has a ton of great uses! It makes for great fertilizer, compost, wastewater treatment, cleaner biofuels and even for helping create new tanks for further air purification. They only require a quick algae divide once a month, and the produced algae can be carted off to where ever it's needed. This makes them effective solutions for areas that can't sustain complex installations.

So yeah, there's actually quite a lot of places that would like these. Lots of people currently breathing in terrible quality air would much rather have their boring city benches replaced with really fucking cool algae tanks that clean the air and can be used to help create + sustain future green spaces in cities. I dunno about you, but I'd take that over a dumb metal bench any day. Put these at every bus stop and I'd be delighted.

Serbian here living in Belgrade! This is all true and I've actually seen some of these around the city a few times. They're amazing at what they do and really cool to watch up close because you can see pretty swirling inside them. It's not only functional but aesthetically pretty nice as well!

Any Canadians who are ALSO frustrated by the upcoming AI data centre projects across the country, here are a few petitions from the House of Commons you can sign.

[e-7550] - Looking to revoke permits and supports for AI data centres that have not been vetted by the community, among other things.

[e-7427] - Looking to prohibit the hyperscale AI data centres proposed for Alberta.

[e-7553] - Looking to impose more regulation before data centre projects are continued in New Brunswick.

*Note: these are loose summarizations of the petitions, and I recommend reading them through to fully understand them.

I love watching someone I follow specifically for being a pretentious well-read opinionated hater fall head over ass into an incredibly smooth-brained and mid media property. I’m being dead serious I genuinely love it. Reminds us to stay humble. All the essays in the world cannot save you from becoming singlemindedly obsessed with something that’s just kind of dumb.

[runawaymarbles]

The midjourney stuff just reminds of when we were trying to find a new platform to host the ao3 donation form, and companies kept trying to tell me about all their "ai" features that would track donor engagement, and figure out the optimal pattern to email individual donors asking for follow up donations, and all the ways they suggest we manipulate people into staying on our websites. It was a great way to filter out who either wasn't listening to us when we described our ethics and donor base, or just didn't believe us.

Now granted ao3 is a unique case based on a) the amount of page views we get in any given time period and b) the fact that most donors absolutely do Not want to be identified as such anywhere, (the default "list of recent donors" module got nuked Immediately) but it surprised me some that the concept of "donors who value their privacy and would be furious at even the whiff of AI" is unique. Some of us really are just existing in different worlds.

The last part was kind of insane, honestly. When we started changing platforms for the donor database, I kept telling them that yes I was aware we already had an account for the volunteer database, and no that could not be connected to the donor database. And they said yes fine sure and then connected them anyway. And I called them back and said, excuse me, I'm confused, I can see both databases. And they said, well, yeah, but it's only you, someone has to be able to see both databases to give other users access. The other users can't see both. And I said, no, we have been asking for a completely separate database. I should not be able to see both. And they said, you are one organization, one organization can't have two databases. And I said, last year someone used our volunteer email list to commit approximately one thousand felonies. Please feel free to imagine how much worse it could have been had they had a way to use volunteers' email addresses to get their legal names. We do not want this to be something anyone can do no matter how much we trust them. Let me describe those felonies to you in more detail. And they emailed me two hours later and said, you can have two separate databases.

This post feels like watching an iceberg go by in clear water. The amount of stuff going on beneath the surface of AO3 just astonishes.

i don't care if it's nazis, mormons, or a bunch of misguided autistic people. if anyone ever tries to tell you your soul is from another planet and you're actually part of the class of impressive people that secretly did everything cool in the world but is now extinct and lives on through your broken genome, you RUN. YOU WILL RUN AWAY. YOU WILL SPRINT FULL SPEED AWAY FROM THAT.

[is-this-fascism]

grabs you by the shoulders listen. listen to my words. i understand the urge to make fanfiction about yourself and to find a reality in which you're super awesome and great and everyone who hates you is wrong and dumb. i get it. you're better than that. you can love yourself without putting other people down, dehumanizing and generalizing, and retaliating against your oppressors.

there's no NPCs. there's no aliens coming to save us. we're not the next step in human evolution. our hyperconnected nervous systems give us terrible sensory overwhelm more often than they make us geniuses. neurotypical people are sentient, conscious, aware people who are capable of understanding you. we're more the same than we are different. we're more the same than we are different. we're more the same than we are different.

[lierdumoa]

Also stay away from people who say shit like "sexual attraction and romance addles the mind and makes you crazy and irrational and this is why being aro/ace makes you intellectually superior." I've seen that a couple times times on this hellsite. Stay away from anyone who tries to convince you that your racial identity/cultural identity/gender identity/sexual orientation/neurodivergence/any other intrinsic quality makes you a member of some master race that is inherently superior to the other humans.

You are not immune to exceptionalist propaganda.

[softness-and-shattering]

No one is lesser, no one is superior. No matter of neurotype or identity or freaking skull shape and jaw angle, nothing never zilch zip nada. Any kind kf subhuman - superhuman rhetoric you run away from and dont look back.

Pride in ones identity is one thing, thinking that makes you better than anyone else is another. Theres a very distinct differrence there.
