never lose hope. somewhere, a middle-aged, gender ambiguous person with an advanced degree in an esoteric field and a fiber arts hobby could be crashing out and pinning all their remaining mental health on getting obsessed with your otp. any day now, the most elegantly written 100k fanfic you have ever read is going to hit ao3. it could happen. it has happened.
This is oddly specific yet I feel so called out
unironically how I feel about birthright citizenship and a/c
And Fahrenheit

Tidal isn't banning AI music, but it won't pay people who upload it, which will go into effect on July 15th
Tidal's new policy says that 100-percent AI-generated music will be demonetized.
ā100-percent AI generated music will be demonetizedā
The policy for AI music has been released
āTidal isn't banning AI music, but it won't pay people who upload itā
"Tidal's priority is ensuring royalties go to original works directly produced, written, and performed by people," the policy read. "We will therefore not knowingly attribute royalties to music we identify as wholly AI-generated."
They will put tags on music that have a āsubstantial amountā of AI, but only once they have better AI detection
āFor now, Tidal said that it would hold AI content on its platform to "aĀ higher standard of content integrity."
More specifically, Tidal said that any AI-generated music that "exploits an individual's or group's music, name or likeness, deceives listeners, or diminishes the quality of our service" would not be tolerated, along with any fraudulent activity like suspicious streaming or upload activity.ā
Still wrapping my head around the fact the phrase "Hold Your Horses" is a play on the word Stable...
To be stable.

It's what Uncommitted thought was best.

One worry of longtime pols in the state is that Sherrillās ranks of advisers do not include many of the expected namesāfew have written bills or wrangled over bond issuances in New Jersey. Ball, a former national campaign operative and chief of staff to a Colorado congressman before she ran Sherrillās office in D.C., is now her top staffer in Trenton. Ball suggested that their theory of making policy in the statehouse would simply look different from that of previous governors. āObviously Mikie had really long coattails,ā she said, so legislators will āunderstand that sheās coming in with this vision and agenda that the majority of the state is bought into.ā Current officeholders, Ball continued, are āgonna have to figure out how to work with us, because we know that the voters are expecting progress, and I think, you know, people are going to be smart to join the team.ā This includes, she said, Republicans, who hold a handful of state Senate seats that will be up for grabs in next fallās election in areas that Sherrill won.
Sherrill has shown little patience for the idea that she needs to articulate a grand philosophical vision. Instead, her pragmatic, slightly ruthless conception of the job recalls the āget shit doneā campaign that got Josh Shapiro elected in Pennsylvania, and Gretchen Whitmerās āfix the damn roadsā in Michigan. When I asked Sherrill which state executives she saw modelling her preferred approach, she immediately pointed to Shapiro, noting how, in 2023, heād led the reconstruction of a stretch of I-95 in less than two weeks, rather than the predicted six months. The Massachusetts governor, Maura Healey, had also caught her eye by fighting back against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.,ās attempts to release insurance companies from paying for vaccines. In practice, Healyās maneuver looked less like picking a national fight than taking advantage of local rules: she ordered insurance carriers operating in Massachusetts to cover vaccines recommended by the stateās own health department. āI think there are a lot of governors who are making movements in a pretty critical time in a way that feels to me very different from whatās going on in Washington,ā Sherrill said.
Mikie Sherrill Intends to Move Fast: Sherrill, the governor-elect of New Jersey, argues that if Democrats donāt learn to work at Donald Trumpās pace, āweāre going to get played.ā

Besides the Texas Values (TM) of that statement, what's craziest is that his twin brother is going to replace him in this upcoming election.
Take a good long look at that alien face and just remember he thinks he's genetically superior to Michael B. Jordan.
One thing Iāve become a real extremist about is little girlās clothing and hair styles because if your kid canāt get her hair wet, hang upside down, climb over a fence or run full out in the outfit/hair she is currently wearing then why not? And the answer better be both extremely fucking good and describe something temporary.
Hope you don't mind a story that also made me extremist about this issue.
Took my friends daughter (2.5yrs) to the park. Dressed her in practical clothing that's ok to get stained, brought an extra change of clothing. She sat in the mud at the water bank and played with rocks and mud. A little girl came over, couldn't be more than 3yrs. She was looking longingly at my friend's daughter. She has her hair in a perfect style and she's wearing a pretty dress with white socks and dressy shoes. The parents say "Sweetie don't go into the mud, you'll get your dress dirty" and pull her away, while giving me a judgmental look as they see the kid in my charge covered in mud and throwing rocks into the water. It felt really weird, like we saw eachother as aliens with completely different ideas on how to raise children. When my friends daughter was done playing, changed her into clean clothing and went back home. She had a lot of fun at the park and a day full of nature and play. The other little girl kept her dress clean.
There's a Tumblr post about someone finding out that "girls" toddler clothes are more restrictive than "boys" toddler clothes to the point that it made it harder for them to crawl, at a stage where they were learning to crawl.
I made one about how my toddler child couldn't climb in girl's TODDLER PANTS.
We are not a house who cares much about gendering a baby's clothes. It's a BABY. It doesn't care. So we'd take the kid to yard sales and let them pick out whatever baby clothes caught their fancy and would fit. Some were 'boy' and some were 'girl'. Kiddo loved floral prints because they're a baby (yeah my kid has always picked their own clothes).
Anyway, my kid LOVED TO CLIMB. Sometimes.
It was weird. Sometimes they were all over the sofa and the playground equipment and MY LEGS and sometimes they just. Weren't. Couldn't figure out what was going on.
Until I caught them trying to climb on rhe sofa in one of their pretty flowered pants.
They COULDN'T LIFT THEIR LEGS PROPERLY. And gave up, and did something else.
So I tested this out and... Yeah. The kid COULDN'T climb in ANY of their girl pants. Any. Put them in boy clothes and suddenly the kid is on everything again.
We stopped buying girl pants completely until they were old enough to test them and my kid is a TEENAGER now and i still make them lift their legs individually and jump if it's a girl fit.
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO MEAN TO DO IT.
Whoever designed these clothes literally did not care if the baby could MOVE. But only if girl.
My grandmother (Nana), who was born in 1916 and was -- undoubtedly due to her own life of suffering -- the sort of woman who viciously policed other people's gender expression right up until the Alzheimer's wouldn't let her do so anymore --
Well, when she noticed I had hit puberty, she decided:
I needed to dress more feminine.
I needed to carry a purse, or a handbag.
I needed to wear a posture bra. (Look it up if you dare.)
I needed... to take shorter steps.
This last... at the time that she made that decision, I was a five-foot, seven-inch tall 12-13 year old, and I walked accordingly. It wasn't quite *one* step per sidewalk square, but it was close enough that I had a lot of fun with it, and with walking in general.
(Insert rant here about shitty-ass, inaccessible areas which lack basic pedestrian -- and mobility-aid-user -- accommodations. Like the city we live in now.)
But Nana was wroth, and insistent. My father stayed out of it, as Nana was my mother's mother. My mother caved -- she'd always wanted a 'little princess' for a daughter, too -- and *continued* to cave... right up until Nana whipped out a short, smooth rope designed to be tied around my ankles.
To hobble me.
After that point (and, to be fair -- if I could even *use* that word -- after things like the incredible physical pain the posture bra caused, and the fact that there was no earthly reason for me to have to carry a purse AND my 25-30lb backpack, and the fact that motherfucking *Talbot's* most assuredly did not care to dress fatty fats like me...), my mother remembered that she had a spine. I honestly haven't the faintest clue if my 'failure' to live up to Nana's standards on How To Woman played a *huge* role in the fact that, like, we never had an actual *conversation*?
But this is the shit I think about every time I see something like this. Nana would've dressed me in those clothes in a heartbeat. Nana 100% shopped for clothes *based* on their ability to bind and *train*.
This... we all need to get this to the people in our lives who are even *thinking* about having kids.
