Fascists don't want kids to learn sex education because while they say it's to prevent access to "lewd" content and "alternative lifestyles", aka other people existing that aren't cishet, in reality it helps kids prevent being assaulted.

Oh, hey, a perfect example of how right wing fearmongering about queer people and “protecting children from the Dreaded Smut” are inexorably linked.

this is the quote that made me want to pursue science.

This gifset is being circulated in sciencey circles right now and it gives me warm fuzzies.

You're just a mammal. Let yourself act like it. Your brain needs enrichment. Your body needs rest. You feel hunger and grow hair. You need to pack bond with other sentient things so you don't become unsocialized and neurotic. You are biologically inclined to seek dopamine and become sick when chronically stressed. "Hedonism" is made up to place moral value on taking pleasure in sensory experiences. I am telling you that if you don't let yourself be a fucking mammal, as you were made, you will suffer and go insane. No grindset no diets no trying to be above your drive for connection. Pursue what makes you feel good and practice radial rejection of the constructs meant to turn you into a machine. You're a mammal.

[eldritchbauble]

I am so serious about the way people are taught to view themselves as separate from and above any other animal being the root cause of a lot of problems. You're not better than a beast.

This post has really made the rounds so I have to say - this mentality changed me overnight. I had this realization that all of the fumbling over self love I did for years just needed... this. Once I internalized that I'm just a creature, it got so much easier to take care of myself.

I've started treating myself like I would a dog that's going to chew through the house when it's bored. I walk myself. I seek activities that make my brain feel less like depressed sludge. I ask my body what it needs; I rest, I enjoy rest. I don't see it as a waste or unproductive. I see it as allowing my body to do its job of working better. I lean into appreciating my natural features. I'm a hunk of flesh. I can be ugly. I can decide that ugly is appealing. I can not care. Whatever. I started emphasizing little things that nourish my relationship(s), shelving distractions more, so I can relish the time I have with loved ones. I specifically pursue pleasure--dopamine--not just quick hits from scrolling social media but getting off my ass. Engaging. Cooking myself nice meals and making fucking art, man. Things that make my spirit feel more alive than I have for years. I ask myself what it is I want rather than only doing what I'm supposed to be doing. And it doesn't mean shirk every responsibility, it means recognizing you're one of your fucking responsibilities. It's reordering. I realized I'm going to die happy or unhappy and either way I'm just as dead in a given amount of years, and I choose to die happy and fulfilled.

Everything else can get fucked ad infinitum.

Call me a hedonist, I'm saving my own life.

I love when kids mention media you were enjoying before they were even born and you're like "i know that media" and they're like

>: O !!!!!!!!!!!!

[wizardarchetypes]

today a kid opened the door to the nature center over his toe and took off the entire toenail. blood everywhere. i brought out one of our snakes for him to interact with while his mom patched him up with our first-aid kit. his two sisters, no older than 10, asked its name. i said we don't name our wild animals in this center. they asked if they could give it an honorary name only they'll know and i said that's fine. one of them said, "okay, Toriel!" I said, "from Undertale?"

They went Bananas

[wizardarchetypes]

not media and i think i posted about this before but last autumn i was chaperoning a bunch of kids on a tour at a dairy farm and they had time to pet some of the baby goats (aka 'kids') so when we had to go i said "all kids who are human need to make their way to the pasture gate" and one of the girls said "what if I'm a therian?" clearly expecting to stump me but I said "okay, do you identify as a goat?" and she went " : O ! no!" and i said "then out of the pasture" and she skedaddled

[tofu-flapjack]

this is one of the really funny things about teaching middle school. last year at one point a kid I didn't really know came up and asked me a silly zany question obviously with the attempt to like. befuddle and frustrate me, as an """"Old Person""""". but they gravely miscalculated. because the question they asked was, "What are your Homestuck headcannons"

[carolsturka]

unpopular opinion but i like it when tv shows have women in them

[carolsturka]

what annoys the shit out of me about this post is how many times i've had to read "and i like it when they're actually well-written" because i've never had to read about a male character being badly written. ever. even when they're inconsistent or made up of one-liners or only there to be shipped with another male character. but yeah sure your critical skills suddenly flare up when it comes to women tumblr user. sure

"ugh forced marriage? this plot is so toxic"

That's the kink

"they can barely/can't control themself from ravishing their partner? How is that portrayed as ROMANTIC??"

That's the kink

"why is the plot so fixated on how tiny the main character is compared to the love interest?"

Grisps your shoulders so firmly

On fun thing about everyone using ai to do their data analysis or write articles or whatever is it's really exposing how many people weren't doing their jobs this whole time.

"We just found out that the ai tool we've been using to make business decisions for 3 months has been hallucinating all the sales data!" okay well it was stupid to use ai for this, why didn't you learn how glitchy it was before implementing it, but far more importantly, what you've just told me is that nobody bothered to check the real numbers for 3 months. "This guy has been using ai to write 9 magazine articles for us and the quoted info was all fake, he has been fired" no editor checked the first eight? "I used ai to write this report and the math was wrong" you didn't check the math? In your own report? Everyone is just telling on themselves re: how their work was always wildly unreliable and they already weren't doing their jobs.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Awhile back I was looking at some marketing nonsense about some company trying to create, like, virtual versions of workers that could help with their jobs, and obviously the actual target was employers (who they wanted to convince that they could replace all their workers with bots and save on salaries) but they were pretending to market it to the workers themselves, and their whole pitch was like "imagine if this digital version of you went to all your meetings and stuff while you hung out at the beach, and emailed you a meeting summary later".

And I was just like. Meetings where a bunch of people send their AIs to meet and then send them summaries? If no people need to be at the meeting, why is there a fucking meeting? This is Email With Extra Steps. If all that's happening in the meeting is people reporting a bit of information, that can just be a report. All this does is admit that you don't actually need the meetings. You don't need to have robot-only meetings you can just cancel the whole thing.

Students writing papers with AI that teachers then read and grade with AI while media sharing platforms are full of ai slop made so that other ais will watch the slop and inflate viewer numbers. While people send ais to meetings to summarise information given by other people's ais at the meetings. People prompting ai to write messages to their friends which are summarised by a different ai and the friend tells ai to write a message back to be ai summarised again. I saw a reddit post the other day about a guy who couldn't figure out why his bride stormed out of their wedding while he was reading her ai-generated wedding vows. Inaccurate ai-generated shit slips into publication because the editors already weren't checking (assuming the writers were) and now the writers aren't checking (assuming the editor will). It's fascinating to see just how much people are already just nor participating and now they're finding easier ways to not participate. You don't have to get married. The boss doesn't have to schedule these meetings. Every time someone is like "ai fucked this thing up" I'm like. Sounds like you were already not invested in doing it.

[pencilium]

It's highlighting not just how much stuff hasn't been getting checked, but how much these businesses relied on the pedantism and pride of low-level workers who took pride in their work.

I don’t want to hear any writing advice from Stephen king not because I think there would be no value in it but because whatever works for Stephen king is between him and god and that demon he made a pact with that lets him write 3000 words in one sitting daily.
