“I wish somebody would swaddle me too.” My guy Jack Abbot just pulled you into an embrace you can just ask for another it’s okay

[bananonbinary]

okay everyone shut up about ai art and talk about THIS instead. what. why would you think this was anything. this is so funny

[bananonbinary]

an ai response to a survey could conceivably help you come up with a hypothesis, or maybe will do well with things like political predictions, a field that is already kinda ????

it will NOT succeed at anything that a traditional survey does tho. on account of 'getting the actual data and not a prediction' is like. literally the entire point of a survey. and also cause the sample space is no longer whatever demographic you're looking at, but the training data for the ai itself, which we've already pretty well established is biased as hell.

Pssst!

Live in the US?

Need to call your representative or senator, but nervous about making the phone call?

Do it at 2 am!

I'm not kidding. It will go to voice mail and you don't have to talk to a human person, and your call still counts!

Signed, someone with major phone anxiety who has pushed through it to do this several times now.

You've got this!

If you have a fucked up sicknasty fanfic you've been thinking about sharing but are unsure, this post is your sign to run to AO3 and Just Do It: 1. Someone somewhere wants to read it. Even if it's only one person, that person matters

2. Your creativity matters and so does your ability to share it

3. Serial harassers in fandom spaces are beginning to express discomfort that sites like AO3 completely strip their ability to do anything about fic they don't like, sometimes going as far as leaving entire fandoms due to the influx of "problematic fiction without a chance for consequences to the author". Posting your fanworks to AO3 actively contributes to making harassers feel unsafe and powerless in fandom

4. Militant anti-fanfic content creators also cannot do anything about fic posted to AO3

5. You can post anonymously to AO3, with the ability to de-anonymize at any time

6. You can moderate comments before making them visible on your fic, restrict comments to logged-in users only, or turn off comments altogether, meaning you can post anonymously and completely turn off comments if you choose

i saw a post on twitter by a european saying americans are fake for their random compliments to strangers and their general cheery demeanor and like no. no no no you don’t understand. if you get a random compliment from an american on the street about your outfit or whatever, that is 100% genuine. we mean it. we aren’t lying we are making a small but fleeting connection with you because our lives are shitty but the human condition is enduring. oh god i’m clutching my chest

[distractedbyshinyobjects]

If you get a compliment from a random American on the street, know that they tried their best to keep from saying a peep to you but they literally could not hold it in. They HAD to say something.

The other day a tiny gay man in a hurry bumped me on the Metro escalator and said "Sorry, great dress by the way" and then he stopped at the top of the escalator and turned around and said "AND a great hat. THAT is how we do summer!" and SPRINTED for his bus and I coasted on that for the rest of the day.

[gerundsandcoffee]

Honestly, we tried so hard to not. But it had to be said.

I am so happy that we have an American co-worker at work now, she completely changed the entire atmosphere at work because she does things like this. It's made everyone at work a little more warm and friendly with each other.

nothing will drive you crazy like having banged pots & pans about QAnon since like 2018/2019, getting a glimmer of hope that people might be starting to understand why in 2021, just to watch almost the entire political spectrum and internet culture as a whole fold its talking points into their own
