I don't blame Carrie in the original film. She goes into a trance. At least that's what it looks like at least.

She doesn’t really go into a trance, she just channels her powers and goes on a massacre! She kind of lost herself to anger

If you’ve had any anger issues, you may have done this yourself minus the psychic powers. You kind of black out and then come out of it once the emotions fades

Ok so thanks for voting on this but i need you to reblog it too

The midjourney stuff just reminds of when we were trying to find a new platform to host the ao3 donation form, and companies kept trying to tell me about all their "ai" features that would track donor engagement, and figure out the optimal pattern to email individual donors asking for follow up donations, and all the ways they suggest we manipulate people into staying on our websites. It was a great way to filter out who either wasn't listening to us when we described our ethics and donor base, or just didn't believe us.

Now granted ao3 is a unique case based on a) the amount of page views we get in any given time period and b) the fact that most donors absolutely do Not want to be identified as such anywhere, (the default "list of recent donors" module got nuked Immediately) but it surprised me some that the concept of "donors who value their privacy and would be furious at even the whiff of AI" is unique. Some of us really are just existing in different worlds.

The last part was kind of insane, honestly. When we started changing platforms for the donor database, I kept telling them that yes I was aware we already had an account for the volunteer database, and no that could not be connected to the donor database. And they said yes fine sure and then connected them anyway. And I called them back and said, excuse me, I'm confused, I can see both databases. And they said, well, yeah, but it's only you, someone has to be able to see both databases to give other users access. The other users can't see both. And I said, no, we have been asking for a completely separate database. I should not be able to see both. And they said, you are one organization, one organization can't have two databases. And I said, last year someone used our volunteer email list to commit approximately one thousand felonies. Please feel free to imagine how much worse it could have been had they had a way to use volunteers' email addresses to get their legal names. We do not want this to be something anyone can do no matter how much we trust them. Let me describe those felonies to you in more detail. And they emailed me two hours later and said, you can have two separate databases.

This post feels like watching an iceberg go by in clear water. The amount of stuff going on beneath the surface of AO3 just astonishes.

PBS and NPR were never beholden to the US government.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting was created so that the US government could fund public media without public media being influenced by the government. It was a private non-profit funded by the government, not a part of the government itself. This is by design. This was a good thing. It meant that even small local TV and radio stations, could afford to create media for the public good, without government influence.

This meant TV and radio stations for poor communities. For non-english speaking communities. For rural communities. For minorities. It meant that free and accessible media could be created for everyone, even if the government didn't like it.

That's why conservatives defunded it.

Because if they couldn't control it, and if it helped the people they hated, then they would have to destroy it. Do you really think that a fascist government would defund their own propaganda machine?

Not only is the idea that PBS before being defunded was propaganda wrong, but ignores the fact that defunding it is going to have long-term negative effects on vulnerable communities.

OP of the post in the screenshot called me an idiot and blocked me for pointing this out. So I'm setting the record straight. The CPB was never our enemy.

We need to lay more blame for "Kids don't know how computers work" at the feet of the people responsible: Google.

Google set out about a decade ago to push their (relatively unpopular) chromebooks by supplying them below-cost to schools for students, explicitly marketing them as being easy to restrict to certain activities, and in the offing, kids have now grown up in walled gardens, on glorified tablets that are designed to monetize and restrict every movement to maximize profit for one of the biggest companies in the world.

Tech literacy didn't mysteriously vanish, it was fucking murdered for profit.

Fun fact! School Chromebooks block Linux. It's not an easy alternative. You are missing the point

I actually went ahead to look up "angelpunk" and found the promotion of the video on r/evangelion and the only 4 comments on it are from this single guy that ruthlessly rips into how poorly researched this video is in scathing, heavily worded criticism (I couldn't even fit it into a single screenshot and they definitely couldn't fit it into a single comment)

Goddamit i hate this fucking post. I hate it because obviously if “twelve” followed the same pattern as the other teen numbers it wouldn’t be “twoteen” it would be “seconteen”. Think about it. It’s not “threeteen” it’s “thirteen” as in “third”. It’s not “fiveteen” it’s “fifteen” as in fifth. So with that in mind, you count “first, second, third, fourth, fifth,” and so on, so eleven would be “firsteen” and twelve would be “secondteen” or “seconteen”. “Firsteen, seconteen, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen….” It just drives me absolutely mad everytime i see this post that this obvious pattern was overlooked and i cant hold in my rage anymore.

I wanted to use what ‘reach’ I may have here to share the Carolina Wildlife Center’s urgent plea for donations. If they are unable to raise $75,000 to cover ongoing and future care of their wildlife patients, the center will have to close July 20th, 2026. The services provided by CWC to the community are incredibly valuable, and without them, many wild animals will suffer without the care they need.

right so. you get married young to the love of your life but then she tragically goes missing. and you deadwife the fuckkk out of her. avenging her is your whole existence now. you take a job as a high school history teacher in the small town she was from. you never believed in the folklore and mythos she spent her life studying but in her last moments you saw her attacked by one of the monsters that she spent your whole marriage trying to convince you were real. so now you’re all in, whole hog. everything you know you learned from her. you invent weapons to kill the creatures more effectively just in case you ever get close enough to one for it to matter. and then you meet him. your wife’s killer. and not only does he not seem remorseful and NOT ONLY does he tell you that he also fucked her. but he ALSO says that she sought him out specifically because she wanted to become like him. and also apparently you didn’t know your wife as well as you thought because it turns out she gave birth as a teenager and never told you. and now that child is dating your monster target’s monster brother. and also you’re dating that child’s adoptive aunt. and also it turns out that the ring that your wife gave you before she died means that you’re effectively unkillable. and then JUST when you start to give up hope of ever finding your wife she shows up out of nowhere and she literally is the monster she wanted to become and she threatens to start killing your students. and also she’s bisexual. happened to my good friend alaric “thevampirediaries” saltzman
