someone on twitter figured out how to make an ao3 site skin to show if someone used ai (specifically claude, and specifically copy-pasted into the fic without being put in a word doc or something first, but still better than nothing) and i am delivering this information to YOU!

step 1. go here (create new site skin page). (if you don't have an ao3 account you'll need to make one. i promise it is so so so easy and you'll get to read a bunch of member-locked fics u didn't know existed)

step 2. copy paste this:

body:has(.userstuff p.font-claude-response-body) #outer, body:has(.userstuff p.font-claude-response-body) #main, body:has(.userstuff p.font-claude-response-body) .userstuff, body:has(.userstuff p.font-claude-response-body) .userstuff p, body:has(.userstuff p.font-claude-response-body) .userstuff div { background: #ff0000 !important; color: #ffffff !important; }

in the css box, name it whatever u want, and, if you are NOT using a site skin already, click submit.

if you ARE using a site skin already, click "show advanced" (takes your hand. i will protect you. i promise). click the box next to "parent only." now click submit, and then click use :-)

step 3. if you're already using a site skin, find it and click edit. scroll down to "parent skins" and add the one you just made. click update.

now if you click on a fic where the author copy-pasted claude directly into the work text box, the whole screen will turn bright red 👍 (or, if you go into the skin you just made and change #ff0000 to another hex code, it can be whatever color u want) (the world is your oyster. go my scallops). you might need to click show entire work if that's not ur default setting in case claude was used in later chapters but not the first, too

edit since i forgot to add how it works: it doesn’t look for typical “ai tells” at all, instead it searches the code for “font-claude-response-body” in the source code, which is why it only knows something’s ai if it was copy-pasted directly from claude! i’m not sure if there’s similar code for other llms and i’m not sure how i’d find out but i’m glad there’s at least one way to tell if something wasn’t fully human-made

Good Morning. Hope you have a lovely day! Sparkle on! Love from the Great Hall. <3

[coffee-khaleesi-deactivated2020]

When I was training to be a battered women’s advocate, my supervisor said something that really blew my mind:

“You can always assume one thing about your clients; and that is that they are doing their best. Always assume everyone is doing their best. And if they’re having a day where their best just isn’t that great, or their best doesn’t look like your best, you have to be okay with that.”

Any now whenever anyone in my life, either a friend or a client, frustrates me, disappoints me, or pisses me off, I just tell myself They are doing their best. Their best isn’t that great today, but I have days where my best isn’t that great either.

Op I’d like to thank you for sharing this. Ever since the first time I’ve read it I’ve held it in my mind and it really has helped me to be kinder to others and to myself.

[madlori]

There’s a pretty famous Tweet that goes around from someone’s therapist, who told her “You can’t do your best all the time. If you did, it would be your normal.”

That…yeah. Rewired me a little.

[blerdyotome]

My job search has not been the best and I'm going on 8 months unemployed. I need a bit of help making ends meet. So if you can help support that would really go a long way. All donations will be going towards my rent! Shares are also really appreciated!

Things suck right now. Who wants to join me in making paper crane chains? You don't need any special tools or artistic talent, it gives you something to do with your hands, and you end up with a pretty chain of paper cranes that you can either hang up, or throw away without feeling too wasteful. And if you do join me, post pictures in the reblogs! :)

Tools you will need: needle and thread, a pad of post-it notes, and sharpies/markers/crayons/etc. of your choice.

[carriesthewind]

You can design your post-it any way you like - you can even draw a picture or write out a text. I usually make a simple pattern with around 6 colors. Start by just drawing a pattern - it can be simple or detailed, random or symmetrical, cured or angled - then add each color, line by line, until you fill the post-it.

[carriesthewind]

How to fold a paper crane: https://savingcranes.org/learn/origami-cranes/

Additional pictures and commentary from me below the cut (skip if you already know how to fold a paper crane).

When fold it into a triangle with the pattern face up (so that when you fold it, you're looking at the back of the post-it). Then, fold hotdog-style with the pattern face down (so that when you fold it, you're looking at the side that you colored).

If you are having trouble visualizing how to fold along all creases at once, start by unfolding the note and the gently folding partway along each crease - it should start to collapse in the right way.

When forming the kite shape, make sure the open sides of the square are at the bottom of the kite. The little triangle at the top of the kite is going to form the body of the crane. The part you are folding will become the wings, tail, and head, so you will need to be able to separate them.

This step - pulling the bottom corner up to the top corner to create a thin diamond - can be tricky the first times you do it. It can help to think about how what you are doing connects to the final crane. You are unfolding one side of the kite and then pulling the top - the loose portion - up to form a thin triangle. This will become the wing. The bottom portion of the diamond is going to become the head and tail.

Also make sure you only unfold and then refold each side individually. It can help to think of this as two symmetrical pieces of paper - a top and bottom - that are connected along the bottom and along the middle crease. Although they are connected, you need to fold each "piece" of paper separately. You can see in the second picture below how the part that you folded up to the top is going to become the wing.

Once you have repeated the process, you have two wings at the top of the diamond, and we will fold the bottom of the diamond into the neck and the tail.

If you are having difficulty forming the creases at this stage - especially because of the size of the post-it - you can use the edge of your marker to press firmly along the fold you want to crease.

Again, it can help to think about how what you are doing is connected to the final crane at this point. The bottom portions of the kite are the tail and the neck, but they need to separated from the wings so they can be flipped up. You are folding the wings in half so that the tail and neck lie flat, one on the bottom, one on top, facing you.

Once the tail and the neck have been flipped up, they need to be folded in half again to form two thin limbs, and the wings unfolded.

To pull the neck and the tail away from the wings, gently pull the top of the neck/tail away, then pinch at the bottom where they connect with the wings to form a crease. Finally, gently pull the wings away from each other, and the body should inflate to create a tiny crane! If you need to, you can gently press down in the center of the body to flatten it. If you want to, you can also shape the wings by pinching the edges or curling the tips up or down.

My army grows...

[carriesthewind]

I have decided that I am going to make a crane "bead" curtain to cover the awkward little half-window that I never open. This will be frivolous and time-consuming and serve no purpose, other than the idea makes me happy.

[carriesthewind]

Coping by turning feelings into paper cranes.

[carriesthewind]

A side effect of this project is that I am going to accidentally find out how many unique sharpies I own. (For each crane I used a different color to draw the initial design, and I am slowly cycling through my whole stock.)

[carriesthewind]

Unfortunately I succumbed to looking at sharpie sets online and it appears that there are, in fact, colors that I do not currently have.

[carriesthewind]

I've never done gray cranes before, but I really like how they turned out.

[carriesthewind]

BEHOLD MY FLOCK

[carriesthewind]

Complete! This project made me very happy, and I hope it may bring you some joy as well. :)

“Why don’t you use ai” idk man beyond the obvious environmental and “this machine causes psychosis and encourages people to kill themselves” thing I think asking the equivalent of a solid D student who is also a pathological liar if they can answer my question/do the work for me seems pretty fucking stupid
