no worse feeling than going on some subculture fashion clothing website and seeing the size chart runs from extra small to petite to pequeño to microscopique. yeah here at DeathKillFuckShadow Fantastique Cloth Imaginations i think you’ll find that we see the world a bit difference… we have bleak brutal imaginations… what if blood and fangs were COOL… but we cannot in our most tortured imaginations picture a woman who has a stouter frame than the fucking Insulindian Phasmid

Any story which refers to Haiti as an impoverished nation, which is all of them, should also mention that when Haitians won their independence from France, French gunships showed up and demanded they pay something like 22 billion dollars in today's money to compensate France for the stolen land and enslaved people they could no longer exploit

It took Haiti over a hundred years to pay that ransom and it's difficult to explain just how badly that fucked up their entire development, especially since France also demanded a 50% discount on everything they bought from Haiti just to make it harder. Like! No wonder they're impoverished!

Anyway if France would like to assist Haiti in its current difficulties they could always pay back the fucking money they extorted

[l-art-stuff-l]

do you headcanon that nonbinary character as transfem/transmasc because you think they’re transitioning towards femininity/masculinity or do you just think nonbinary people amab can only be transfem and nonbinary people afab can only be transmasc and there’s no such thing as transneutral

It's the Royal Academy of Art Young Artist's Summer Show. One of my favourite exhibitions of the year. Like. Not only are the older kids insanely talented, the younger ones' artist statements will just punch you right in the face.

These are all so good!!! please look at them

I think my favorite is this one

Actually I DO think twelve year olds should get hrt. That’s the normal age to start puberty, so why does it have to be different for trans kids?

A 19-year-old black trans girl was shot to death this month, and there has been absolutely no media reporting on it - despite extensive reporting on almost identical incidents in the same part of Florida, at the same time. The police, as usual, misgendered her in the police report and have done nothing to find her killer. Her name was Jayla Mcgee. Black trans people deserve to grow old.

A Black trans teen was shot and killed in Florida. Almost no one reported it

Police misgendered Jayla McGee, local media overlooked her homicide, and her community was left to make sure she was not erased.

Wow wtf HIV/AIDS was discovered by Flossie Wong-Staal, an Chinese-American woman, and she’s the reason the HIV test even exists. AND THEN she invented the molecular knife that lead to treatments for HIV/AIDS. And she’s STILL ALIVE. We don’t hear about the contributions of Women of Color enough, my word. Madness.

you can always tell a major breakthrough is made by a woman, a woc or any poc because it’s either completely ignored or never credited like it just happened by itself

Every time I express that I think it's shitty to say that genAI "hallucinates," people get weirdly pissy and combative with me.

But until real human beings who experience hallucinations are treated like human beings worthy of respect and dignity...I think perhaps it's shitty to keep associating hallucinations with being non-human, dangerous, and a liar.

It actually really fucking sucks that hallucinating is seen as monster-movie-scary, dangerous, inhuman, and worthy of scorn and/or mockery. It actually really fucking sucks that people who hallucinate or experience delusions can't get compassionate help or understanding, because everyone thinks it's an automatic sign of being dangerous, violent, and a liar. It's a massive problem that people look at hallucinations as "dangerous crazy person shit" that should be gotten rid of or locked away.

I find it crass, at best, to flippantly use the term "AI hallucinations" when real-life people get abused, imprisoned, and killed because they experience hallucinations.

But what do I know, I'm just a crazy person. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[renthony]

People in the notes keep proposing alternatives or asking me what they should say instead, and I really think y'all are overthinking it. You don't need to coin an entire new term. You can just say "AI generates misinformation." If you need it as a noun, "AI misinformation."

If you want to be provocative, "AI spits out garbled bullshit" works, too.

[queerautism]

Fully agree, as someone who experiences mild hallucinations. Also it is simply bad terminology, bordering on propaganda, because it is used to position these 'errors' as unexpected phenomena that can eventually be worked out. As opposed to what it actually is, an inescapable fact about the way large language models work.

LLMs generate text to sound plausible without any regard to whether it is true. That's literally it.

I was at the Highland Wildlife Park a couple weeks back and saw this kid (maybe 14) wearing a wolf mask and tail and paw gloves excitedly running toward the wolf enclosure with his middle-aged normie parents in tow. it was all just very wholesome. well done with the acceptance thing normie parents

The best option is to turn Gaza into Las Vegas but with apartheid?

The best option is to turn a prison into a yimby, “build build build” paradise? Data centers and luxury condos in the Warsaw ghetto?

The people in Gaza are not allowed to have a government. They are not allowed to leave

[kropotkindersurprise]

cant wait till this fucking ghoul dies, truly the embodiment of everything that's wrong with the Democrats

[solarpunkshoppe]

Ya know, Thatcher was fond of this phrase. "There is no alternative" just means "stop trying to find one". Which ofc we won't. There's a better world we wanna build and we won't stand for "solutions" that mean further exploitation and harm.
