Speaking in flowers

Call me Bloom. This is a place to voice my thoughts and interact with others (but this is a side blog so my options are limited... I did not think this through properly). Here be bi stuff, books I'm reading and whatever strikes my fancy! I've discovered danmei and i talk about it a lot. I apparently can't shut up about my disappointment with (and love of) Realms of the Elderlings, sorry! - PLEASE personalise your blog before following or I will confuse you for a bot and report/block you!

Rest in peace, Anthony Stewart Head (1954 – 2026)

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Remaining time: 3 days 21 hours

[odyver]

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Remaining time: 3 days 21 hours

[odyver]

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

46-60, less inclined

over 60, more inclined

Remaining time: 3 days 21 hours

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

when pacific rim is brought up around me in a "the jaegars are so epic" way and i have to pretend to be Super Normal about raleigh having felt his brother die mid-drift and having to pull himself and their jaegar singlehandedly back to shore and losing all faith in the world and the existing system and mako losing her family to the kaiju and so she grows up training to be a jaegar pilot even though the man who protected and raised her doesn't want to lose her to the kaiju along with the countless others he sent to their deaths and raleigh and mako having that instant connection (and it's debatable whether they want to kiss crazy styles but there's no time to unpack bc they need to save humanity first) and nothing can break it not pentecost or the asshole australian pilot who won't give them a break or even the fucker aliens that live behind the breach and also the two eccentric (gay) scientists who constantly bicker and butt heads coming to an enthusiastic understanding that they have to drift together with a kaiju brain because if geiszler is gonna do it again who but gottlieb is crazy enough to do it with him and the overall act of drifting itself being so intimate and personal because This is the person that knows Everything about you and now you're gonna go out there and murder some kaijus but you're doing it together because you Need each other and and and

just saw a 'comments' tab on someones blog you know where the following and likes tabs would be if enabled and it was just showing all the replies theyve made on peoples posts. this is fascinating when did this feature come out

[parakeet]

EMERGENCY - ITS AUTO ENABLED!

if you've made replies on posts there is now a tab on your blog showing every post youve replied to and your reply.

if this is not what you want, either go to your blog and click comments and disable it from there or just go to your individual blogs setting pages. just change it from blue to grey if you dont want everyone to see your replies AND the post you're replying to

PLEASE BE ADVISED that it is set to disabled for blogs that have not made any replies but it will turn ON if you reply with that blog in the future.! i just tested it with my main, which was greyed out but it turned on the moment i left a test reply

figured i'd get the word out bc i have not seen a single mention of this and i'm sure there are plenty of people who maybe comment on things they don't want on display for everyone to see on their blog lol. you can still look at your replies with it toggled off just no one else can, like locking the following and likes list

[parakeet]

so for some reason this feature was actually announced on the tumblr engineering blog. interesting choice not to reblog it to the staff or tumblr blog, esp considering they asked for user input on how to implement it, but i suppose considering the response to the last update maybe the replies would be too overwhelming...

so couple of clarifications. comments are disabled as default for primary blogs that have their likes disabled. they are seemingly enabled for all other blogs that have replied to posts

posts you comment on may show on your followers 'for you' page if you leave your replies publically available. they may, in the future, show in on your followers dashboard if your follower goes to their dash settings and enables this. apparently, if your likes are enabled, your followers can already see those on the dash if they've gone into preferences and selected to do so, which I was unaware of, and that seems to be disabled at default, but it's possible i disabled it previously and forgot about it ig

[ID: A section of the Tumblr settings, where under the replies heading, there is a toggle that is turned on that reads "Share your comments" with the description "Make comments created by this blog visible in the blog page, and to the followers, in their feeds". /end ID]

Lequel mérite le titre de Mister Tumblr ? (Propagande juste en dessous)

Salim (La Quête d'Ewilan)

Maitre renard (Le Corbeau et le Renard)

Remaining time: 13 hours 4 minutes

Propagande Salim :

Jeune garçon qui galère au début à trouver sa place, à côté de sa meilleure amie exceptionnelle dans tous les domaines. Il est loyal à elle jusqu'à la mort et dans la traversée des mondes, il est fou amoureux aussi. Il est drôle, il fait des pirouettes et des blagues pour détendre tout le monde mais aussi pour cacher ses insécurités profondes.

Il va devenir apprenti Marchombre auprès d'Ellana et gagner en assurance et en confiance en lui, c'est un des apprentis Marchombre les plus prometteurs, il est trop fort, c'est une lumière dans la nuit.

Aussi il peut se morph en loup, si ça c'est pas un argument de fou.

Aussi aussi, il est trop beau, j'étais en crush total. Un de mes persos favoris de fictions.
