TAG GUIDE
When tagging my work, I will tag each post I make with the field relating to it. EXAMPLE: posts relating to one of my original stories, Tumbleweeds, Ultraviolent or Thing in the Forest, will be tagged with the projects full name, my FNAF AU posts will be tagged as FNAF AU, fan work for stuff I didn’t create myself will be tagged with the general fandom tags, etc.
When posting about my OCs, I will tag the post with both #my OCs and #*insert character name here*. So for example, I drew my character Vetra, I’d tag the post with both #vetra and #my OCs.
Posts speaking about myself/my opinions/what I’m doing will be tagged with #mack-attack!
Posts involving my art will be tagged with #my art, #female artists, and #artists on tumblr. Posts involving my writing will be tagged #mackwritesstuff.
I try my very best to tag any possible triggers included in my work. If something is not tagged with a trigger warning that you find triggering in any way, please alert me so I can fix the problem ASAP!
there was a lot of stuff i expected when i sat down to watch Doctor Who today but Christopher Eccleston passionately telling a random Dalek to kill itself was NOT one of them
So Pope Leo recently released a 200-page paper. He details and speaks his thoughts on a lot of issues in this paper, but the big one is about how much AI sucks, which is AWESOME, yet another W for the Pope
HOWEVER. This will have an even BIGGER affect on the U.S. specifically than you think… it’s going to be able to affect EDUCATION!
Most schools in the U.S. mandate school-issued tech for students (which is almost guaranteed to be one of the issues leading to the literacy crisis in young people today.) You can appeal the school as a parent to have your child exempt from this, but it’s a very difficult and lengthy process.
The fact that Pope Leo wrote about how awful AI was in his paper now means that parents can now officially cite religious reasons as a means to get their child exempt from being issued technology by their school.
No school can fight this, either- religious reasons of and for exemption is a right outlined in the Civil Rights Act, which makes it law for the school to comply!
This is AMAZING NEWS for the U.S. education system. Why, you may ask? Because the push for technology to be integrated into the schooling system has failed students miserably. Testing scores from before mandated technology became standard were far, far higher than average standardized test scores today- look it up! There are tons of studies and data on this!
The push for technology and AI in schooling is hurting education. It is causing a national literacy crisis. The fact that religious reasons can now be cited as a reason to be exempt from tech mandates will benefit students IMMENSELY, and it’s one huge, huge step towards going back to pencil and paper!
FUCK I made a hockey post to my doctor who community instead of the hockey one SHIT what do I do. Idk what to do in this situation. they already removed but I feel so bad, God that was embarrassing
I love the Doctor as a character because they are one of the smartest, strongest people in the universe and yet they also eat dirt and are the reason shampoo has instructions
Strange racists and homophobes on the internet seem to have access to an alternate way cooler version of TV than me. "every white character on TV is in an interracial relationship" "every show has a gay couple in it" "main characters keep having to secretly be bisexual and nonbinary" "every show has gratuitous full frontal nudity" like damn promise?? What channel???
hey, does anybody know any good, free and reliable resources for learning race theory? I have been taught nothing about it in school and I believe it’s pretty important for me to know
can we as a society stop thinking it’s ok to say slurs as long as you “have the pass”?
saying slurs is never an okay thing to do. the reason slurs are so ostracized from language and vernacular today is because we as a society realized it wasn’t good to say them and their use was hurting people. using slurs casually because you “have the pass” is actively undoing all the work society put in to normalize not using them in everyday life, and is tricking your brain and the brains of people around you into thinking it’s fine for you to be saying them.
please just stop. because if you think it’s funny, and you “have the pass”, just know that there is probably at least one or two people in the room who feel unsafe because of you.
we shouldn’t be saying slurs at all. there’s a reason they’re slurs. just know this: if I hear you saying a slur in public, I will trust you significantly less than before. I do not care if you “have the pass” or not. THEY’RE SLURS.
I keep seeing snippets of some anti piracy commercial that’s like “you wouldn’t steal a car!!” like clearly you do NOT know me. I 100% WOULD steal a car, idk what you’re on about
