If you use LLMs in your daily life I genuinely think you should be mocked and humiliated daily. You use ChatGPT? I'm shoving you in a locker. Claude? Get in the bin. Orchid? I'm flushing your head down the toilet. Grok? I'm stealing your lunch money. You are weak and pathetic and you should be told.

Did y'all know that 70% of all mining operations in latin america and the caribbean involve a canadian transnational mining corporation?
Anyway, when I was in college I was constantly going to marches and protests against canadian and saudi mining projects in the Santurbán páramo, one of the most important ecosystems in Colombia in terms of biodiversity, and the source of drinking water of 30+ municipalities in my state, including the city I live in. Ultimately these mining proposals lost their license due to environmental regulations.
But now that our new far-right president elect is looking to suck up to imperial core powers once again, canadian mining corporation Aris mining is interested in re-starting mining projects in Santurbán. Which, would inevitably give cyanide poisoning not only to my city's drinking water, but 30+ other municipalities and indigenous communities.
The imperial core will see one of latin america's veins and go "is anyone gonna cut that open?" and not wait for an answer
i have a better suggestion

guys I went back to recreate this and. It’s gone.

Last year, I befriended a Catholic seminarian. We've gotten to be pretty decent friends. Seeing as he was staying in town for the summer and I wasn't, I entrusted him with caring for my plant.
He did a wonderful job, but as he was returning my plant to my custody, he explained "I watered her every other day, I gave her new dirt, moved her into the sunshine, prayed the rosary-"
"What?"
He looked at me, confused. "Isn't she a plant you pray with?"
"No," I said slowly. "She's a prayer plant. That's the... colloquial name of the plant."
Upon seeing his stricken face, I realized something went wrong. Turns out, this entire time, he's been including my plant in on his prayers and leaving her near icons.
Listen, totally cool. My plant becoming Catholic is a great deal for her not dying over the summer. But now I must navigate this interfaith household. Keep me in your thoughts.
#i love prayer plants but they're fussy so I don't keep them#can we have a picture op they're so pretty
Behold, Dorothea
(Naming my plant "Gift of God," and then giving her to a seminarian with just the explanation that it's a prayer plant? Okay, that's my bad.)
I should also add- I ran into my rabbi and explained the situation. I then asked, earnestly, if there was a remedy. A mikveh of sorts, or a beit din, or something.
He turned to me, sighed, and said in a very deadpan tone-- "Plants don't have covenants, Joy,"
So Theodora's a free agent according to rabbinic opinion. I guess I'll permit her to be Roman Catholic.
just casually leaving this here for no particular reason
You know what? Fuck it I'm adding more context. Sesame Street has talked about the topic of death more than once and it's done with such gentle carefulness without watering down or censoring the heaviness of the situations. It treats heavy subject matter with respect and dignity and has been for DECADES. From the early 1980s:
To 2025:
Hell, they even cover the devastating heaviness of MASS SHOOTINGS without censoring or watering anything down.
They've been doing this for YEARS, and it's ALWAYS handled with dignity, respect, seriousness, understanding, and love.
Whenever I see people censoring words because it "might offend" someone or the big ad companies that are currently trying to run everything? I just want to say to them: "What? Is Sesame Street too mature for you?" Because really...what the hell are we doing.
I'm back with even more examples! Sesame Street once again to this day is out here handling extremely difficult subject matter with incredible care and respect. "We can't let kids learn about uncomfortable things!" Oh, really now? Even though they're things that happen in everyday life that they'll face one day at some point anyway? Interesting. Let's see what else this show has covered that people (for some reason) think should be avoided and hidden. Here's more on death of loved ones and greif:
Or how about when someone is put into the foster care system because their home isn't safe anymore and their needs aren't being met?
Maybe some discussions about group therapy/getting help and support?
Hey look! Here's a segment about gender expression vs taught expectation, including unlearning harmful biases and what to do when you hurt someone on accident because you didn't know it was wrong!
Look! The topic of race and diversity! The importance of unity and equity!
They even also have a more allegorical take on discrimination and being looked down on for who you are, featuring Big Bird. The conflict is about how he's not being let into a club because the one bird running the club personally decided he didn't want someone like Big Bird there.
Big Bird goes out of his way to keep changing parts of himself in order to "prove" he can fit into this club if he just changed enough. The truth comes out though, and there's nothing he can do to gain the approval of that bird. He will never be good enough in his eyes, and Big Bird starts to hate himself. His real friends see this finally put their feet down, emphasizing that you should never change yourself just to fit into one singular narrow idea someone else has.
There's A LOT of different situations this can be an allegory for. Racism, sexism, homophobia, basically ANY form of exclusion is put on full blast in this 15 minute clip. Sesame Street can be both blunt and allegorical when approaching difficult topics, and it NEVER misses or looses the point.
It does an exceptional job in both styles of representation WITHOUT watering anything down. The more sanitized everything gets, the more radical Sesame Street is suddenly considered, hence why so many "particular groups" want it gone. Hmmm! I can only imagine why that could be, in this current political climate! (I'm being sarcastic)
When Sesame Street is suddenly labeled as "questionable" or "politically/agenda motivated" content...it says A LOT about where we currently are and who gets to decide what's "best" for kids or not. Don't fall for the censorship and topic-dodging excuses that are covered by the "But think of the children!!!" movement. Never fall for it, because you know which side you're on if you do.
Sesame Street proves kids can be taught and trusted with learning about these topics when it's handled with the right amount of understanding and care. It shows what all this "controversy" is all really about. What it's always been about, actually.
Don't fall for it, always side with Sesame Street.

Emos & scene kids got this close to abolishing gender for real. I try not to think about it too much.
The idea of a popular teenage subculture where girl & boys pretty much all dress the same feels impossible now but for a while it was reality and it was beautiful.
some people like to get mad at disability benefits because they think its unfair people who dont work get a payout from the government while they have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week. but if you tell them "yeah that sucks i think you should also get a universal allowance and not have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week" thats apparently the wrong answer.
being a published author yourself, do you ever feel like these days people are too reliant on word-of-god social media posts when analyzing stuff? ive noticed that in the 2010s creator confirming things over twitter or w/e platform instead of putting them in the actual meat of the story was pretty widely mocked, but recently it feels more and more like it's just expected behavior now from fans. it's made me feel kind of down about ever putting my own stuff out there since it seems like people are less interested in actually reading and analyzing a piece of art on its own now. is this a feeling youve dealt with at all?
lol you've either got impeccable timing or you saw me butting heads with people about this Elsewhere today (in which case for future reference, if you're responding to something i talked about under my other name, it's better to ask me about it on the account of that same name rather than come here)
anyway.
yes i have dealt with this. i find it immensely frustrating and intellectually lazy on the part of the audience to go "the creator said this, so it's the only correct interpretation." you can't reach people who are like this because they are not interested in being reached, learning, or considering another perspective. they are only interested in being correct, and as far as they're concerned, there is only one person who can be correct--the creator. and if they align themselves with that person, they will also be correct, and therefore the winner of any argument.
we used to mock it because it was less about audience members proving themselves right, and more about those creators attempting to get credit for work they didn't do. claiming such and such character COULD be gay (so please keep watching) but never following through because they either never actually cared or were never actually able to. but now fandom cares more about who is and isn't allowed to be Right, when back in the day nobody ever Got to be right. and we have parasocial access to everybody involved in a project and can demand they hand out answers like knives to fight each other with.
and i'm so completely uninterested in it when it comes to literary and critical analysis! i don't care what the creator said in a tumblr post! i only care about what i read, watched, saw--what was put directly in front of me--and how it made me feel. if an author wanted me to feel a certain way, or leave with a certain interpretation, they should have put it in the work. that's the point of making the work. outside information can affect the interpretation of a work, but it does not supersede it.
also authors can be full of shit. i told everyone sylas was straight for the entire duration of never satisfied and people believed me, despite everything about his behavior pointing toward a sensitive gay boy trying too hard to perform heterosexuality for his father.
but i said he was straight, so i guess he must have been!
this is all part of why i push people to theory post about hunger's bite in the tag and not exclusively through me. my book is a rich text with a lot of metaphor and subtext. i know what i wanted to do with it, but if i have to tell you, it means i did a bad job.
and a lot of the time, the people who reach for "but the author said" are defending a bad job.
and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.
I mean, in some very interesting Technically Correct ways, they didn't actually die? Now, they're very much no longer alive. But the forces involved are such that they didn't get any of the usual cellular processes of death, they simply went from biology to physics in less time than it takes a signal to travel down your optic nerve.
if you go from biology to physics without dying first you don’t go to heaven the uber driver went over this already

i appreciate the amount of people reblogging this despite me not really tagging this at all. im glad many of people feel the same anger i do.
please turn on timestamps I'm tired of seeing awareness posts for a scam that was shut down years ago. you're scaring people for no reason
the fake estrogen phishing scam was from 2023 and got shut down in about a week. trans people are dealing with enough as it is, don't add something that isn't even an issue anymore
why the heck was that off by default
Can anyone explain wtf is going on here especially a Korean speaker
someone on reddit explained 😭
That is one of the most astronomical fuck up translations I have ever seen.
And this, children, is why you can't replace translation work with AI
