Hello There!
This is my blog. I don't particularly post or reblog all that much of anything; but I've been using it as a receptacle for a few RP blogs.
All of said blogs are dead.
I should probably be making another one sometime.
So some of Elon’s space debris is going to crash into the moon at high speed, on the visible side of the moon.
His dream is to spread humanity's waste and litter to all corners of the cosmos.
What’s been the hardest advice for you to swallow? Ever?
If you are correct and annoying, nobody will listen.
Like it does not matter how correct you are, or how beautiful your coherence of thought may be. If you're annoying, people will spend their time and energy elsewhere

don’t just let boys be feminine. Let MEN be feminine. Grown-ass men. Hairy, fat, old, muscular, unattractive, disabled, etc.
The ones that aren’t young, thin, hairless, conventionally attractive twinks. Let them be feminine too.
Without making it weird and fetish-ey, for fuck’s sake. Think y’all can manage that?
every time it rains i have the urge to say “well our plan to stand alone in a field with a metal rod is out” which no one ever recognizes is from phineas and ferb but usually kills anyway
fandom etiquette as a whole died when people who didn’t grow up on fandoms became stans during lockdown, yes, but why am i seeing people openly mocking fics on twitter. why am i seeing screenshots of fics with captions like “bro what is this 😭.” why am i seeing people mock fic writers for not knowing how sports or theater or college or any other organization operates in the real world.
“college is absolutely nothing like this” “why are we writing four people on the team scoring a hat trick in one game” “so tech work is nothing like this, hope that helps!”
if you don’t like a fic, and if you can’t suspend your belief enough to enjoy a fic that exaggerates or ignores real-world orgs, you don’t have to read it. you don’t have to screenshot it and put it on blast for twitter. you don’t have to post a link to it in the replies. the back button is literally there on your phone. it’s not giving baby’s first fandom anymore, it’s giving entitled asshole and it isn’t as cute as you think it is.

Here’s an old aro meme from 2011, which was before the rise of the “Ace Discourse” around 2015 (which may have started out as backlash in response to The Trevor Project deciding to include asexual people around that time). This meme format uses an aardvark to represent aromantic people. At the time, axolotls were often used in similar memes to represent asexuals, so the aromantic aardvark was chosen as the aromantic equivalent of the asexual axolotl. Aardvarks were considered to be somewhat of a mascot for the aromantic community for some time, though they have become less popular as a symbol in recent years.
This reads like a museum guide showing one of the most prestigious pieces in an exhibit
It must be hard for Mrs. Columbo to be a fan of anything. Any time she's into a writer, a movie star, a TV show, her husband comes home and goes "You'll never guess who I met today at work!" and a couple of days later goes "You'll never guess who the murderer was."
just had a convo with my friend. she mentioned she doesnt like sake cause its sparkling.
“wait, sake is sparkling? what have i been drinking?” i said. because i also dont like sparkling stuff.
i look at the sake bottle ive been drinking from for fun events for the past year. its vinegar.
i’ve been drinking strawberry flavored vinegar.
in my defense:
and:
its very hard to tell for someone who only kind-of reads Japanese and just saw the component for "sake flask" (酉) and, rightfully assumed, that the bottle that said sake was probably sake.
No no, you don’t get to hide this in the tags
Summary: no one involved was drinking sake.
I feel so insane about ai. I've had face-to-face conversations with people who use it for therapy, who use it to calculate the safety of pill interactions, who use it for all their emails and grant applications and legal documents and academic papers and finance sheets and for every single question they have about the world, and if you tell them about the ecological costs they just laugh and say "I guess I've used a lot of water." and I've been in multiple gatherings of 10+ people where I'm THE ONLY PERSON who doesn't use chatgpt. it's turning me into a ranting raving pariah, because how don't you people see??? why don't you understand??????? this bullshit didn't exist five years ago, you absolutely do not need it, and it is destroying everything
my friend just had an art show and they were communicating with the gallerist over email. They could clearly tell that the gallerist was using AI to respond to their emails, but just rolled their eyes and moved on.
and then on the day of the show, my friend asks, "where is the camera I requested?"
gallerist: "you didn't request a camera"
my friend: "I did, and you confirmed that you would have one here."
gallerist: "that isn't true."
and then she proceeded to pull up the email thread, and my friend could see that every single email they had sent had been summarized by AI, and that the gallerist had then had AI write a response to them based on the AI summary, and that the AI had detected that they needed a camera, and confirmed on behalf of the gallerist that they would bring a camera, but because the gallerist had offloaded the work of actually reading and responding, she simply hadn't actually made any note of it herself, therefore didn't bring it, nor did she even know one was needed.
so my friend had done all of this communication about their needs and expectations to be able to make the show possible, and the person whose job it was to read that information and get it done had simply.... not read the information and not done it. because AI.
conversation i just had
“It’s easy to assume”: someone’s misconception is about to be amiably corrected
“It’s tempting to assume”: someone’s assumption is about to be criticized
“It’s comforting to assume”: someone’s assumption is going to be read for filth
I've got a historical subject i wanna write about but how do i start researching if i don't know what i have to research?
Start with entry level stuff. A YouTube video or Wikipedia article is perfect for this. Then, track down the sources it cites. These are usually books about your subject that you ought to read.
Oftentimes that book will cite scholarship. If you've read a book on your subject, you might feel prepared to dig into the scholarship.
At the peak of this research pyramid are the primary sources themselves. For me this would be like, reading a scan of an ancient coptic manuscript, or some Latin book from the Renaissance. Serious comprehension of a subject is based around how well you can these primary sources. Luckily, there is usually scholarship which helps to explain the sources.
