can everyone do me a favor and tell me your favorite thing to put on toast in the tags

[boltlightning]

i love this post so much. all the replies are like

"i'm so basic.....i just like a lot of butter or jam :(" (as though those are not god's best and most beloved condiments and his greatest gifts to mankind)

"FUCK health guidelines FUCK my cholesterol and most importantly FUCK diet culture i'll put a dumpster full of butter on my toast and not even GOD will stop me" (no notes. god would encourage this)

doxxing one's self by mention of polarizing regional delicacies (i am so curious about vegemite i must admit)

"does a grilled cheese count as toast?" (not for the purposes of this post)

"i don't like toast please don't kill me" (i appreciate the honesty but i fear this post is not for you)

people who put full ass meals on toast (based)

people who do not but eat toast as a full meal (based)

melty peanut butter (absolutely based)

"it's a guilty pleasure but...nutella 😳" (relieve yourself of fear and enjoy your dessert toast)

special shoutout to the pots-havers adding extra salt. also the one person who mentioned kaya. i see you and am in agreement

sorry america but you’ve been really mean. and I don’t want to go to your birthday party in two days

[sixty-silver-wishes]

so this post has blown up; turns out a lot of people feel the same way I do. If you're feeling conflicted or upset over 4th of July, I've compiled a list of educational resources and charities, both regarding US and international issues, which you can look into if you'd like. Issues here include humanitarian aid to Gaza, Ukraine, and the Caribbean, as well as reproductive, LGBT, BIPOC, and disability rights in the US.

[sixty-silver-wishes]

woke up and saw people were reblogging this again. anyway, yeah. america is still being really mean and I do not want to go to its birthday party today

if you would like to spite the really mean people even more today, consider donating to raices con voz. they're a student-led organization in los angeles, who deliver food and essential supplies to immigrant families who can't leave their homes due to the ICE raids. More information about them here

EDIT: Had to fix the link! please reblog this version instead

[sixty-silver-wishes]

another year of not wanting to go to america's birthday party in two days. because it's really mean. so we should help the people that america is being really mean to

in keeping with tradition, here is a link to unicef's fund for emergency health supplies and services for survivors of the venezuela earthquakes.

here is another link for manos in action, an organization that delivers supplies, such as food and childcare items, to latin american immigrants in central florida. I've participated in one of their local food drives; they're great. if you're not local to central florida, you can always donate money.

the other links are still available too, so feel free to check those out!

Picture from the Photographer Kalynn Youngblood, in her series Staged Portraiture and Documenting daily Black Life.

This is all I need in my life.

[rosyish]

not to be negative but this is NOT from photographer kalynn youngblood. it’s actually photography from my friend honey. who yall can follow on instagram

[rosyish]

this is actually so sad to see this has so many notes on it and the wrong photographer was credited. honey literally had a gofundme up not too long ago so they could do an artist residency and another to help their best friend.

it’s so horrible that this photo (along with their other work) has gone viral and not once have they been credited

Anaïs Nin, from a diary entry featured in The Diary of Anais Nin, Vol. 3. (1923-1927)

[marzipanandminutiae]

You said that carmilla became a vampire because someone committed suicide on the next room I don't think you have read it I think you read an AI generated summary

A. I was being hyperbolic for Humor Reasons, but she WAS changed by a suicide victim's ghost.

"A suicide, under certain circumstances, becomes a vampire. that specter visits living people in their slumbers; they die and almost invariably, in the grave, develop into vampires. this happened in the case of the beautiful Mircalla..."

that's page 155 in my edition:

(it's actually my third copy- the first was an anthology of Gothic novellas I stole from my university dorm's library in 2011, and the second was an Oxford edition signed by Elise Bauman and Natasha Negovanlis at a U By Kotex event in 2016, that I lost in a fire in 2023)

B. Depending on your age, I may have read Carmilla before you were born. I first read it on Project Gutenberg around 2008. there are references to having read it on my blog going back to 2014, pre-dating AI summaries by. uh. over a decade

C. this is hilarious, Anon. thank you for a good chuckle

Booktok controversy that's broken containment: a writer told one of her friends the concept for a book, and he took that concept and AI-generated a book based on it and then gifted to her like 'there you go, sweetie, you're welcome ;)'

BRO WHAT.

[azzandra]

OMG, I'm watching a video about this, and it's even weirder. That wasn't even a friend, it was a rando who saw her tiktok talking about the concept and randomly emails her this AI-generated book. That's even weirder.

[cat-she]

And then when she says she doesn't like it, and several NYT BESTSELLING AUTHORS who all happen to be women all explain to him why he's in the wrong, he talks down to them and doubles and triples and quadruples down. But then the moment the woman's husband gets involved, he immediately apologizes to "him and his wife." Just breathtaking levels of misogyny.

[azzandra]

He wanted credit SO HARD for doing basically NOTHING. Worse than nothing! He wanted headpats so hard that when she ignored his email he hounded her to respond publicly.

He's like a microcosm of everything that's wrong with people who use AI to generate stories.

[cat-she]

He was talking about releasing the shit he generated with the idea he STOLE FROM HER for free if she continued not responding to him, and then acted like she was being insane when she clarified that she didn't respond on purpose 😭😭😭 What goes through these people's heads!!!!!!!!!

[azzandra]

Something profoundly wrong with this dude and yet he's incapable of noticing.

[dilf-in-peril]

I understand some of you are 19 but that is not an old man, he's 32.

rereading dracula after reading carmilla for the first time really makes me appreciate carmilla's efficiency in securing a place. dracula had to deal with all the logistics of the housing market meanwhile carmilla just crashed her car on someone's lawn and she got a cushy guest room and a girlfriend out of it. carmilla the woman you are

[sunflowers-and-scales]

“this character did not act in the most objectively logical way possible!” is not ! actually valid literary criticism

[sunflowers-and-scales]

i have trust that the media literacy enjoyers will find this one idk
