• “Download Shinigami eyes” in response to the increase of HP advertising is the most tumblr thing ever. Remember kids when we’re faced with people trying to kill us, the most important thing is to shill for your side of stupid discourse where you yell at other trans people

  • Idk where people got it in their heads that Jowling is a transmisogynist and a transmisogynist only. She literally came out as a TERF via the essay “Projecting My Hangups Onto Transgender Men”. She complains about gender neutral language around vaginas and periods. She stood up for a lady who got obsessed with the genital situation of a nonbinary children’s mascot. This is woman is throwing all punches everywhere

  • and don't forget her violent hatred towards asexual people. (And presumably aromantic people by association, even if she's never publicly acknowledged our existence)

    she hates everyone who doesn't conform to her extremely bigoted world view, including cis women who don't agree with her

  • Min wage should be 80k salaried

  • Like this isn't an exaggeration. You should be able to rent alone, buy groceries, have disposable income, and still save for a vacation or whatever tf. I cannot emphasize enough how little people are being paid

  • There is no such thing as “the evil kill-people disorder that makes you kill people”; it has always been a myth made up by demonization to sell more ableism.

  • "the evil abuse-people disorder that makes you abuse people" is also a myth, no matter what people on TikTok try to tell you

    Volcano erupts “blue” lava on Dallol Mountain, Ethiopia (2014) photog. Oliver Grunewald

    This is called a Cerulean eruption, and the blue tint that surrounds the lava comes from flames produced when escaping sulphuric gases burn. The volcano contains large amounts of pure sulfur, which emits an icy violet color as it burns, filling the air with toxic fumes.

  • Had a dream about DS9 and there had been some kind of incident where a Changeling had been discovered in Quark's and around the same time a Bajoran kid had suffered an anaphylactic reaction while eating a new lemon flavored spice pudding. there was no actual correlation but this led to a B plot where there was general hysteria about "Changeling allergies" and Sisko was trying to push back against it after hearing rhetoric flying around like "Changelings are willfully risking human and Bajoran lives just by being present on the station, since their presence poses a deadly allergen threat to an unknown number of people." all of which was mostly directed at Odo of course as the only permanent known Changeling presence on the station. and there's certainly something Star Trek-like about such a plot, about how misinformation surrounding legitimate fears can so easily become a witch hunt targeting those who are already vulnerable, but also I'm cackling at the image of Quark gleefully putting up posters like

  • 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

  • So true. People Gold Star Lesbianning ai makes me so tired.
