[magic-at-twilight]

So! I’ve updated my blog and aesthetic just a bit, mainly because, wellll, turns out! One particular kintype of mine apparently has much more influence over me than I thought! I’ve been gradually updating my blog over time, and I decided ‘you know what? Might as well finish updating it properly.’

So! It’s nice to meet you all again, even though we’ve already met! My name is Twilight, and I’m Twilight Sparkle-kin, ponykind (more specifically, an MLP Alicorn) and a maregender woman, and I’m hoping we can all get along just as well as we could before!

decentralize and clean up your life!!!

use overdrive, libby, hoopla, cloudlibrary, and kanopy instead of amazon and audible.

use mega or proton drive instead of google drive.

get rid of bloatware

use libreoffice instead of microsoft office suite

use vetted sites on r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH for free movies, books, games, etc.

use trakt or letterboxd instead of imdb.

use storygraph instead of goodreads.

use darkpatterns to find mobile game with no ads or microtransactions

so many of the "i only use chat gpt for ___" excuses are concerning because people use it in place of learning basic, valuable skills.

you don't need chat gpt to write professional sounding emails for you, there are many many guides on the internet and with a bit of practise you can learn to write them yourself. a very important skill for a professional to have, and some of the basic rules will carry over into irl conversations!

you don't need chat gpt to be a "more detailed search engine", because you're robbing yourself of the chance to learn how to find and filter information on the internet and evaluate the credibility of sources. which is a VITAL skill. plus, chat gpt is notorious for being wrong?

if you use it to write essays, you're taking away your ability to hone your research skills, your writing skills, your critical thinking skills. your ability to create persuasive arguments!

and for most of the other reasons people use chat gpt, there are non-ai websites for that! for maths, wolfram alpha. for figuring out what you can cook with the ingredients you have there's supercook and the like. for creating routines, there's about a million apps!

whatever you "only" use chatgpt for i promise there are better websites out there that you don't have to worry will produce complete bullshit???? and destroy the environment???

[actuallyvady]

Hey, look! A study showing that people who use chatgpt to study do worse on exams!

Seriously: you are not helping yourself.

[skaldish]

The point of learning how to write papers and do research ourselves is to gain experience at finding and handling information. It's only by handling information (that is, creatively adapting it, rearranging it, and putting into our own words) do we actually become knowledgeable of things.

Gaining knowledge skills is what allows us to take the information we've memorized and apply it to different contexts. It also gives us the ability to have meaningful discussions about things we aren't familiar with without feeling stupid about it.

If we don't practice this, we won't know how to have conversations with each other outside of a) having arguments, b) talking about how something makes us feel, or c) simply repeating what we've memorized, heard, or did.

You'd think ChatGPT would be excellent at showing us how to handle information, but it's actually really garbage at it.

It doesn't know (or care) if it's giving you accurate information, because it's just regurgitating whatever explanation gets repeated the most often on the internet...and the metric for what gets repeated the most often on the internet isn't based on what's the most accurate, but what's the most marketable.

Relying on ChatGPT also leads to a situation where information regurgitated by ChatGPT is repeated by the internet, which is then fed back into ChatGPT, which is then regurgitated by it, and so on. This basically does to information what taking a screenshot of a screenshot of a screenshot does to images. It causes it to become corrupted, like an ever-devolving game of Telephone.

There are constructive ways to use LLMs for papers. For example, if I had an LLM in a self-contained database with all my articles and research, I could ask it to perform various tasks that will help me sort through it all. For example, I could ask it to find specific connections between all the articles, or compile all the information that pertains to a particular subject into a single document. It doesn't, and cannot, write my paper for me, because it's a data-retrieving machine and not an article-generating one.

to be specific, this is for Adderall/generics of it! You should avoid both acidifying agents (vitamin C supplements, juices, energy drinks, etc) and alkalizing agents (such as fast-acting acid reducers* like tums/rolaids). The former makes it less effective and the latter can make you absorb it too quickly!

This is NOT a listed issue with Ritalin/metadata/concerta or straterra! Seems to be specific to Adderall, but it doesn't hurt to avoid those things an hour before/after your meds and to add protein when you take them! as always, ask your doctor and pharmacist if you have any issues.

I point all this out because taking unsourced vague medical advice from Tumblr is not a good practice!

PSA for Fanfic Authors

There's a very common scam going around right now. Not sure if it's hitting Wattpad, but these messages are definitely going around both AO3 and FFN:

I'm gonna talk to AO3, because that's where I live. These are most often guest accounts, but lately people have been getting them from registered users, as well.

You tend to get a paragraph of generic compliments that don't actually reference your fic in any way. Or, if they do, it's extremely broad: "Hey, I love how you portray the relationship between Blorbo and Blorbette!" That could be about literally any fic in the ship tag.

Then you get into the hook. "I'm an artist, and I would love to collaborate with you to bring your work to life!" And, since getting fanart is one of the highest compliments an author can get, you get excited and agree to privately message the person on Discord or Insta.

Then it turns out that they're a commission artist, and they would like you to pay up front for them to create that art they're so excited about. I've seen people report being asked for US $200 - $300 on average. Once you've paid them, one of two things happen: Either they simply ghost you entirely, or you get sent a piece of shitty AI "art".

Real commission artists don't need to coldcall random authors. They generally have a backlog of several months. A real commission artist will also generally ask for partial payment up front, but that's usually a token, basically a deposit. You should expect to see progress drawings, as well; sketches, and drafts, that you should be able to approve before the design is finalized. A real artist will work very closely with you to ensure that you're getting the art that you want.

If you get one of these scams, and it's from a guest user, click the Spam button, and delete the comment. If it's a registered user, report them for violating the TOS (spamming, monetization) and then block.

If you fell for one of these scams, contact your bank. You should be able to put a stop payment on the transaction, and recover your money. You can also contact the cash app (venmo, paypal, etc.). Even if you received AI crap, that is not what you paid for. You were paying for genuine art, and receiving anything else makes it a fraudulent transaction.

Stay safe out there!

We all know that things are really dire in Gaza and food is super expensive. But exactly how bad are things?

Guess how expensive can 1 kg of sugar get in Gaza rn (before the war was $1)

$5

$15

$20

$25

$30

$40

$50

$60

$70

Voting ended onOct 26, 2024

Source: How much does food cost in Gaza? (Al Jazeera)

Basic necessities in Gaza can get up to 300% their usual price. 1 kg of sugar can get up to $60 in Gaza, and other foodstuff like fruit and vegetables can be even more expensive! And prices are only going up! Now can you see why I am so worried about Mahmoud's 17 family members (@mahmoudfamily1) in Gaza? He has 10 children in Gaza right now while his gofundme campaign barely has any donatioins, and has only managed to reach 3% of its target even though he has had it since May!

And it's not just food. Tent supplies and materials are also really expensive. His family had to spend $900 just to make sure the tent can better shield them from the cold and the flooding, but their tent was completely destroyed in a bombing! Now they have no shelter, nothing to protect them from the cold and heavy rain of the coming winter. With food and other necessities so expensive, this is a very huge blow to the family!

They have already lost relatives, including a 1-month-old baby, to the bombing. I worry for the 10 children, they are so young. With basic necessities getting up to 300% their usual price, I really don't want these young children to have to choose between having the medical supplies to treat their wounds, being warm, or having food to eat!

Donate to Support a family lacking healthcare and safety, organised by Mahmoud Salim

In the 27th of October 2023, I had no contact with my family for complete… Mahmoud Salim needs your support for Support a family lacking hea

Only $2,656 CAD raised of $80,000 target! And last donation was 18 hours ago!

That is equivalent to only 44 kg of sugar in Gaza, and that's before you take into account the 4% cut gofundme takes, and the high international transfer fee, which can get up to 40%! Moreover, 1 kg of food like vegetables and fruits can cost more than $100!

This campaign is #117 on @/gazavetters vetted list. Also vetted by association!

Please help them! As an incentive to donate, I'm also hosting a freshwater pearl phone strap raffle to raise funds for this campaign (UK only)! Click here to enter after you donated!

HEY GUYS!!

GUYS!!!

FRANCE HAS REACHED THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF SIGNATURES ON THE CITIZEN'S INITIATIVE AGAINST CONVERSION THERAPY IN THE EU!!

ONE COUNTRY DOWN, SIX TO GO!!

We also need still quite a few signatures in order to reach the one million required.

As to date, the six other countries with the most signatures are:

Spain - 38.72%

Finland - 30.31%

Ireland - 24.86%

Netherlands - 24.15%

Germany - 23.54%

Belgium - 23.09%

So yeah, still a long way to go, but we ARE slowly getting closer. Don't stop now! Don't let this stay within the community, either, if you have any friends or family who are open to queer rights, get them to sign, too!

[thistlearts]

Signed! (Belgium here)

Guys the situation in Khan Younis is so scary that I don’t even know how to put it into words anymore. All it takes is looking up the city and seeing headlines like “over 100 of bodies ripped to pieces in Khan Younis!” “An Israeli airstrike decimates a house in Khan Younis belonging to x family!” “Even in the midst of ceasefire talks, Israeli forces continue pushing into Khan Younis” for all-consuming anxiety to seize me for all the families that have yet to evacuate. It’s getting so so bad there & yet so many people are still unable to evacuate.

[stuckinapril]

Going to suggest a starting point to help by asking you to donate however much you can (anything helps) to Mohammad and Shaima’s fundraiser. Mohammad is Wafaa’s brother. Wafaa has been in direct contact w multiple ppl on here (me included) about her rapidly deteriorating health. This really is the lifeline for her family (the majority of whom are children) stuck in Khan Younis still. It’s incredibly dehumanizing.

It’s entirely attainable to raise the funds for them, but people keep falling off bc unfortunately a lot of them are desensitized to genocide. We should be pushing this rn more than we ever were.

[stuckinapril]

I get that you’re probably like “ANOTHER fundraiser post” but like… just get over it and do your part. I’m kind of realizing that I refuse to coddle people about this anymore tbh. You should donate and share this bc it’s the right thing to do, not bc it played to your heartstrings or your savior complex. You should share it because you should, the same way you should drink water every day. That’s really all.

[magnus-rhymes-with-swagness]

if you want an incentive to donate:

wrinkle in time book raffle

magikarp stuffed animal raffle

tote bag raffle

portrait commissions

dragon art commissions

medieval portrait commissions

[aplusbabe]

Don’t look at things you know will make you angry. Don’t read the comment sections. Don’t look at the blogs of people who add dumb comments to posts to confirm that they’re dumb all the time. Don’t read old conversations you had with people you don’t talk to anymore. Go look at pictures of kittens or something instead. Protect yourself from negativity in every way you can.
