yeah i just generally will more readily accept a story with no male characters than one where the male characters add nothing and are shoe-horned in or they serve no narrative purpose. like why do men have to be included in stories at all, it just seems unrealistic to expect to see men in everything
its kinda hard to celebrate trans day of visibility because the visibility we're getting lately is like
Not to hand it to the Pope but telling world leaders during Holy Week that God isn’t listening is kinda funny.
you have fallen for AI before. even if you don’t believe you could ever fall for AI, you very more than likely have at this point. you have scrolled past an AI generated ad not realizing it was AI. you’ve seen a drawing online and thought “oh that looks cool,” not realizing it was not created a person. i’m not saying this to scare you, but i am saying it as a reminder that you are not immune to how realistic AI is becoming
what ao3 would look like with ads. no, you do not want this. support ao3 because it’s one of the last few places on the internet that is not tainted by capitalism bullshit. support ao3 because it’s one of the last few places on the internet that is genuinely about the connection between audiences, artists, their works and the love/passion artists have for what they do

This might be controversial.
I really don't think anyone can do something so bad that they deserve to be haunted by their past for the rest of their lives. I DO think that this idea can coexist with the fact that many people may still never want anything to do with them ever again.
???? Are you proship??
I am a normal person who understands thought crimes are not real, fiction is not reality, and people can read/write/enjoy whatever they want as long as it’s fiction and no one in real life is harmed. I don’t have to like it, because I know how to mute, block and scroll past what I don’t want to see. Overall I think labels are childish, but by definition I am proship and profic. I am also against censorship.
And if you (general you) shame or harass real people over fiction, you’re a bully and this blog is not a safe place for you.
my hetero married mom is turning 65 and I shit you not she’s being denied Medicare unless she changes her legal name back to her maiden name on her birth certificate
she’s been contacting attorneys and speaking to every possible office and administrator and I’m like mom you might want to go to the news tbh
she is a very mildly unusual case because she had to shorten her first name when getting married so that her name would fit on the license form in 1990 and so now she has to petition for a name change to undo both that and taking my father’s surname because MAGA hates trans people so much lmfao
This reminds me of a surreal experience I had in law school, when I learned that my law school had LITERALLY no way to change your name in the system or on your ID. I pointed out that I knew multiple people who had gotten married while in law school, and asked the person at the registrar's office what they did in those cases, and he said that he guessed that they'd just have to not legally change their name while in law school?? I asked him if this was perhaps because the law school had introduced this system back when they still expected to be able to keep women from attending indefinitely, and he got really silent for a bit and then told me that he was busy and I should leave unless I needed something else.
Btw, I've gotten a LOT of traction with conservative folks with this story when I've told it, to the point of some fairly right wing people even agreeing with the much stronger position of "yeah, and why the fuck should you need a court order just to change your name either?" It hits all the right notes of absurdity, and of the government and other institutions intrusively reaching into other people's lives, while also demonstrating that that overreach is a clear attack on people with traditional values too. I always present it as "Now, look, I know it's not as fashionable for a woman to take her husband's name anymore or whatever, but she should at least be able to if she wants to, right?" and I don't even get people trying to argue slippery slope about it, most folks we just jump all the way onto the "preferred names are an issue of freedom" train.
Which is all to say that yeah, your mom should absolutely go to the news about this.
A reminder that darker fiction has a right to exist and explore themes that people are uncomfortable with. Yes, even if it's romanticized. Yes, even if you personally don't like it.
Authors have always written about things that they don't agree with morally, and I hope to god they always will, despite how shitty people treat them for doing that now.
Those character chatbot ads are getting so malicious btw it's unreal
Whoever made this specific ad is going to be tortured by a thousand demons in hell. Avatar of the lonely type piece of shit i hope they push away all their loved ones in favour of ai and no one goes to their funeral. I want to rip their face off like a chimp
If we're friends and you recreate me in ai i'll kill both of us. If you're a marketing agent and you encourage people to do this i'll kill both of us.
If your friends get annoyed at you for texting them to the point where you'd rather talk to a fucking water guzzling oversized autocorrect you need better friends
Another one of their ads 👇 hey are you struggling with things in your interpersonal life? Don't worry :) friendly corperation has you covered :)) ai can be all the friend you need :))) friendly corperation very trustworthy
wanted to add another one of their ads that i saw. genuinely ghoulish.
What the fuck
they don’t know about Andrew Hussie’s gender pyramid
i'm gonna let this speak for itself
forgot to include the best part.
everybody who’s reblogging this like “…well, a stopped clock is right twice a day…” i need yall to know that 1. this is actually incredibly typical of the rest of their writing and 2. they are actually trans and this is how they came out the closet. this isn’t a random, weirdly correct shot-in-the-dark commentary on trans identity from a cis person, it is the newest entry in a long line of works by a (now) openly non-binary person who has been writing predominately about sexuality & gender for her entire artistic career. all of this queer subtext was in Homestuck since the beginning for those who had their eyes open.
Nazis crashing the fuck out at Elmo for no reason is one of my new favorite genres. Literally this pic:
EDIT: It turns out the Jordan Peterson ones are fake (they're real tweets but not directed at Elmo). However, Peterson DOES hate Elmo and has @'d him before.
hey it’s ok if you lost your ai virginity back when you were uneducated. a lot of posts go like “reblog if you have never ever used generative ai and never ever will!!!” but it’s ok if you have used gen ai before and it’s even ok if you used to think it was cool, back before you understood what it really was and how it worked, either because no one had taught you about it and you discovered it on your own or because the only education you had received about it was from the tech bros. you’re not a burger with a bite out of it for having used ai. ok
It is 100 percent okay to stop using it today and join the "boo AI" club.
This isn't a purity thing. This is a "everyone stand with us against destroying the environment and giving asthma to poor people" thing.
Did you know that when one community says no to an AI data center, they specifically search out communities with fewer resources? Communities that can't defend themselves? And the pollution 100 percent affects their health and wellbeing, in addition to burning through our already scarce drinking water.
You can stop using character.ai today. You can say "I listened to the facts and stopped." And another thing: don't you think it's a bit more impactful to have used it, stopped, and then you're in a position to say how little it helped? How doing things for yourself improved your life?
also posts in the spirit of "if you've used AI even ONCE your soul is tainted!!!!" can't be great to those with OCD
I work in corporate communications. As part of my job, I was invited to test an AI tool pre-release. I used it to generate a couple of articles. One had a silly mistake that made me laugh. The other mis-stated medical info so badly it could have resulted in legal action.
I gave my feedback. Reported the results to my executives. And went on with my job without AI.
Some people are going to be in position where they have to deal with AI whether they want to or not. It is just an unfortunate part of work these days.
So, yeah, i don't qualify for the gold star. But I can explain to a corporate VP why they don't want to be AI reliant.
"thought crimes aren't real, it's your actions that matter" and "your mindset informs how you treat others, so you should try not to have a shitty one" are another pair of things that are both true btw
can not recommend letting your child do a big scream when they are frustrated enough. Just straight up ask them like "hey do you need to do a big scream?" And if they say yes let cover your ears and say okay GO and let them scream because you know what eventually when you're really frustrated your little person with your face is gonna look at you with their ears covered and yell "HEY DO YOU NEED TA DO A BIG SCHREAM?!" and you can just... do a big scream and it won't scare them and you will feel better too
No! Do not scream at your child EVER! I don't care what sort of of therapy speech you engage in or if you call me names, allowing yourself to get so frustrated you feel the need scream in the presence of your child is not healthy. Find a better stress relief because this one is as bad as wall punching.
Imagine doing your normal life, working on something that requieres concentration, and suddenly someone starts screaming. Stop normalizing acting like you've just scaped from an asylum.
Do yall need to do a big schream?
I think they don't know you can tell your kid you're about to do a big scream, boss
there is literally a whole media trope around people realising that what they need is to do a Big Schream to release their frustrations
