"Comrades"

I recreated (with lots of creative liberties) "Comrades" by Henry Scott Tuke with mine and @mugichansunflower's OCs.

It was a lot of fun getting to digital painting as I don't do it often.

I drew my OC Adamant in a beach outfit, courtesy of Mithril!

Also have the layers:

hmm my former landlords are trying to deduct a frankly off the rails amount of money from our security deposit…my time has come once again

[vinelark]

i was chatting with a coworker about this whole saga today and someone nearby popped into the convo to be like “you know, you can use chatgpt to write a demand letter!” and i sort of blinked and went, “okay. i did it myself, though.” and she was like, “yeah but it can tell you what laws and stuff are relevant” and i was like, “i also did research myself.” and she was very well-meaning but she said “chatgpt” like six more times before she left and it was genuinely baffling to me, this insistence on it.

and in the one hand, did i enjoy spending hours researching housing regulations in my state? not especially. drafting this email was stressful. but on the other hand, did i learn a lot by doing that research? yeah, i did. i’m more prepared for my current and future leases. i used some of that info to make decisions about a new renter’s insurance policy. i already told three different people about things i learned that are relevant to their leases that they didn’t know yet. (pro tip: see if you’re supposed to be getting annual interest payments on your security deposit! also look up what specific appliances your landlords must legally provide as of 2026.) i also got to reconnect with my cousin for a bit because her job gave her specific insight on part of the situation, and i’d much rather do that than have a chatbot make shit up for me.

also, i drafted that email with the power of friendship (friends angry on our behalf) and spite (from landlords telling me not to do my research). chatgpt could never.

(we got the money back, by the way 💪)

Please never use generative AI tools for any kind of legal dispute. It does not know what laws or court cases are. It will make up something that sounds favorable to you, and you will get crushed. There are free resources out there to learn this stuff. And sometimes attorneys will offer free consultations or volunteer at a free legal clinic. OP didn't just do it themselves to do extra work or some shit. This is really the only viable way to do things short of hiring a professional to do it for you.

ChatGPT is not easier or faster in matters like this. It is a shot to the foot.

Mithril on the beachside

I drew my OC Mithril in (one of) his beach outfits.

Also him without the corset and without the jacket.

[mozzarella-drag]

I drew my OC Ambrose because it's been a while and he deserves some love.

Also he has a brooch under the yellow cape

Failure to reach the heavens

HOLY SHIT

[conlangery]

If “Gvprtskvni” is a real word on this planet then really how important are the “rules” for words? What do you think?

The rules are language-specific.

გვფრცქვნი gvprckvni (IPA [ɡ̊ʷpʰɾt͡sʰkʰʷni]) is the second person singular subject, first person plural object form of ფრცქვნის prckvnis “peel”, essentially “you (sg) peel us”. I point that out because it seems people have cherry-picked a relatively extreme form. But of course, it is attested, so it is relevant when exploring how extreme phonotactics can get.

გვფრცქვნი - Wiktionary, the free dictionary

So, Georgian allows onsets of, by my count, 6 consonants. That’s unusually high, but clearly possible. Also, while I don’t know Georgian, but a quick check finds they do seem to have some rules to make these clusters easier: grouping together consonants with similar features with a single release and sometimes inserting schwas.

Georgian - Wikipedia

And English speaker who doesn’t know Georgian will struggle with this word because the rules of English are different! We only allow up to three consonants in an onset, and only in a specific pattern of s + [stop] + {l, r}.

But Georgian has rules, too, and it can’t do some things that English can. For instance, it has no diphthongs, where English has between 3 and 7 depending on the dialect. Georgians probably have some difficulty with our vowels generally, since they seem to have a common five vowel triangle while English has between 10 and 13 monophthongs (as a concrete example, beat and bit might be a hard distinction). They also don’t have our “th” sounds ([θ] and [ð]). These are just things that stick out when looking at the phonologies of the two languages.

English phonology - Wikipedia

The bottom line is: there are rules. Every individual language has its own rules. It’s part of what makes them unique. The fact that one language does something unexpected doesn’t mean there are no rules. It just follows different rules than you do.

AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified

Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.

AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They’ve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic’s AI training now threatens to “financially ruin” the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.

well…darn
