How to use Em Dash (—) and Semi Colon ( ; )

Since the ai accusations are still being thrown around, here's how i personally like to use these GASP ai telltales. 🦄✨

Em Dashes (—)

To emphasize a shift / action / thought.

They're accusing us—actually accusing us—of using AI.

To add drama.

They dismissed our skills as AI—didn't even think twice, the dimwits—and believed they were onto something.

To insert a sudden thought. Surely they wouldn't do that to us—would they?

To interrupt someone's speech. "Hey, please don't say that. I honed my craft through years of blood and tears—" "Shut up, prompter."

To interrupt someone's thoughts / insert a sudden event.

We're going to get those kudos. We're going to get those reblogs—

A chronically online Steve commented, “it sounds like ai, idk.”

Semi Colons ( ; )

To join two closely related independent sentences / connect ideas.

Not only ChatGPT is capable of correct punctuation; who do you think it learned from in the first place?

Ultimate pro tip: use them whenever the fuck you want. You don't owe anyone your creative process. 🌈

"God never gives you more than you can handle" is survivorship bias. People who got more than they could handle are dead.

Trump will die on July 4th

[chaudhavi-ka-chand]

Looks familiar.

I hope people never travel to Florida. I hope their tourist industry dies. I hope climate change does what is predicted.

Too many innocent people will suffer from all the existential racism and prejudice, not to mention misogyny and LGBTQ-phobia, that will be passed around the state, both actively and passively though inaction.

Friendly reminder that AO3 is fighting AI data scrapers on behalf of all fanfic writers!

According to the post below, AO3 issued a DMCA takedown after finding out that all works before March 2025 were scraped and uploaded as a dataset to potentially train AI. The ability to take legal action against scum like this is the direct result of people donating to AO3 so they can keep functioning and they don't pocket any of it because they are a non-profit organization.

So when you see the AO3 donation drives, please remember that this is what the money is going toward and support it when you can!

Just an extremely Normal thing to say

Reminder they want to increase the budget for ICE from 3.5 to 45 billion dollars.

Reminder the majority of that will be for building new detention centers.

Reminder ICE are *currently* detaining tourists who can pay for a plane ticket home and people with visa issues that were already resolved, because they have to make quota so Trump can brag about the numbers going up.

Reminder most of these people were already in the immigration system - that's why they were easy to detain.

Reminder this is all at taxpayer expense.

Reminder these are people.

There's a tiktok going around of a creator saying something along the lines of "you need to stop going home directly after work, it's bad for your mental health. You need to start doing things, even small things, free things, like meeting friends or going for a walk in the park or taking a class, on weekdays."

And in theory, I totally agree! That is solid advice! That will improve your mental health in the long run.

But I think we need to have the conversation that modern capitalist society intentionally makes that hard to do! Sure, it's a nice thought to go for a walk after work, but who of us has access to a nice green, safe park in our immediate area to do our walking in? What about winter when you don't get out of work until it's already dark? It's great to go meet friends after work, but how do you do that when your friends are spread out all over the place and they all work just as hard as you do and are also busy and tired? It would be good for you to take a class, but that costs money that you might now have. Not to mention if you're working full time all your free time and what little energy you have during the week is spent trying to stay on top of the housework.

And that is fully intentional! That way you get home, you're too tired to do your housework so you buy some gadget that promises to make it easier for you, you're too tired to cook so you order in, and then you plop yourself in front of your screen of choice and let an algorithm feed you whatever it wants so you can shut off your brain, and you get your dopamine hits by buying stuff, so you feel some sort of fleeting happiness for a moment. Capitalism works best if the masses work hard for some profit of margin they will never benefit from, and then immediatly spend any money they did just make on whatever they are told to spend it on so the economy does well.

So yeah, I don't know what the solution to this is. But I think I will start challenging myself to do something for me after work every once in a while. Just as a tiny act of resistance, just to prove myself that I am more than just a cog in a machine.

TARLOS FANDOM FIND ME THIS FIC PLEASE

Hi!

So I was looking for a Tarlos fic Canon Divergent Episode 403 (Cry Wolf) where they go, rescue the sex doll. I read it where instead of Marj and Paul, TK volunteers to go down but the rope gives up and he gets scrapped by the wall of the cliff. It was a good story and now I can't find it, not even in the tags.

As the 9-1-1 franchise continues to expand, executive producer Tim Minear has a message for fans who think there's only room for one 9-1-1 adventure at at time. Minear — who serves as showrunner on the mothership series, ABC's 9-1-1, and was co-showrunner on 9-1-1: Lone Star — tells Entertainment Weekly it was "hard to say goodbye" to the Texas-based spinoff when its series finale aired in early February. But he hopes original 9-1-1 fans who resisted the Rob Lowe-led drama will find it streaming on Hulu now that its run on Fox is over. "I really loved the five years that we did on that show. I think we were really creative and successful in " says Minear. "I really think that if [9-1-1 fans] just give it a chance and stop acting like it's in competition with 9-1-1, which it never was, I think that they could love it. It's different."
