The name's Amber. I'm at the beginning of the middle of my life.

Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

It's rude.

white europeans calling race an "american construct" when their ancestors invented it to justify chattel slavery always makes me feel insane

The funniest part of A New Hope is that Luke Skywalker is a 19 year old who has not locked in yet and plays with toys and sleeps in his childhood bedroom at his aunt and uncle’s house and Leia Organa is a 19 year old with a mission to save the galaxy from fascism. Luke has never left his hometown, Leia just watched her planet be blown up. He’s peeved his uncle is asking him to do his chores, she’s imprisoned for resisting the government. You relate to them both but they’re on complete opposite sides of the 19 year old life stage spectrum.

[slinky-cat]

Also Luke is clearly very lonely after his crush and best friend, Biggs, went away to college

[byjove]

Yes! Some people have misinterpreted this as me insinuating Luke is a wimp but he’s just in a very transitional life phase that is focused on growing and maturing. His friends are growing up and moving on, he’s anxious to join them but isn’t quite ready. He has ambition and goals but he just isn’t in a place where he is able to pursue those goals, he is immature and that isn’t a bad thing. 19 year olds SHOULD be able to ponder their place in the world and which direction they want their life to take. Leia has been in the public eye her entire life, she is a princess, she has been primed for greatness and she has been shouldered with so much responsibility. Luke is just his aunt and uncle’s nephew, they love him and don’t want him to leave, he’s trying to decide what to do.

[byjove]

He’s like a Midwest farm boy who is dreaming of the big city and she is like an old money New England heiress who has been told since birth she will follow her father’s career path into politics and has been sent to the most competitive schools and enrolled in the most rigorous extracurriculars.

[yourlocalquietkid]

Luke is the protagonist at the start of a coming-of-age plotline while Leia is in the 3rd season finale of her failed revolution plan when A New Hope takes place and you can fight me on this.

I'm almost done with my largest crochet project, so here's a couple details from behind the scenes 🌿🌙

[lliveonthesunn]

i get why people don't believe in marriage as a social construct but legally it is the best and easiest way to say "this is who i trust to take care of me when i can't take care of myself" and i'm so glad gay people fought for that right bc when shit gets scary at least i know im in good hands

watching massive franchises bomb at the box office while Backrooms has made $212 million on a $10 million initial budget has brought me hope for the future of cinema

[byjove]

audiences do NOT want Star Wars slop, audiences want a movie made by a guy who really wanted to make a movie

[tehamelie]

I'm looking at you specifically here, Star War

[byjove]

They’ll give us everything but what we want (the Lando movie)

Absolutely in love with this commissioned gator rug!!💖💖

This was made with botw in mind, because one of my favorite things is just riding my horse, and I was thinking back at how magical it was seeing my first shooting star. But I feel like it kept getting further away from the original subject and isn't really recognizable now. I also happened to really get into it when I was indecisive in terms of style so it looks nothing like I planned at the beginning, and it feels odd. I like it, but it just feels so "in between" everything.

Anyway, horsie

Where you the person behind the bear and cop show scam?

[strewbi]

Sir Terry Pratchett is a master of the written word but he ain’t shit for the way he trained me to accept dumb naming conventions because i got three missed calls on my phone from Scam Likely and I spent like half a day wondering who I knew named Scam.
