flowers blooming in such heft and numbers they bend the plant over and plants bearing fruit so hard they shower everything under it in fruits or make the very branches bend…. creatures are just experiencing vast bounty and good fortune out there fr fr

dude. my life fucking rules. feathered velociraptor shleich figurine for $2 at the op shop. captain of one of my favourite ferries complimented my shirt TWICE (and we are now introduced!). new friend waved me over to sit next to her in a lecture. found a way to make my pony collection even more enjoyable. sky was so beautiful it was a crazy pale blue and there were cirrus clouds catching the sun. the ocean looked like molten green glass. I'm going swimming in the sea and having lunch with a few friends in a weeks time. I've earned 500 dollars this week just from my art which is a milestone I didn't expect to hit without joining a company. I'm not feeling as fatigued as usual. it rained in the morning which was really lovely. I thought I was going to be super late for uni but I made it right on time. I'm kind of in love with the world today

That same 9th grade history teacher gave us tons of busywork assignments (it was an AP class) and when we complained he never justified the assignments, he just told us we had to do them. He also never tried to actually enforce them. He assigned us work to complete over the course of two weeks and collected it when we took the tests and all of us to a kid were doing all of it the night before the test every single time and he knew this but he didn't actually confront us about it and take points off, probably because he didn't want to deal with our parents getting mad at him. He also dropped one of the busywork assignments the following year which pissed me off because he basically admitted it was unnecessary but still made us do it for the entire year. My mom did get him to change something once by asking him to explain how something was pedagogically advantageous and he just changed it without trying.

no drawings for you today but! i found this skit my friends and i had to do way back in 2023 for a group project in uni

basically we had to take a short moment from the iliad/the odyssey and turn it into a modern day skit and of course we turned the moment patroclus died into a basketball match

here was the original story plot for our skit: achilles no basuke

(yes i played patroclus)

Tvornice Radnicima AKA Factory to the Workers (Srdjan Kovacevic, 2021)

In Croatia in 2005, a machine tools factory was occupied by its workers. Since then, they have operated collectively, becoming the only successful example of a worker occupation in post-socialist Europe. Today, as they seek a new model of collective ownership, the microcosmic world of the factory clashes with the forces of the globalized market economy, having an increasingly brutal impact on wages and the organization of the factory, causing rising disaffection among the workers.

the problem with ai isn't that it's ai it's

evil companies pushing ai to devalue labor and creative products.

misconceptions about how ai works, leading to people attributing it an intelligence and sentience it does not have, which feeds into

misinformation, the decrease in effort needed to create disinformation, and the sudden increase of skill needed to spot falsified info. 3a. this includes content creators using ai to flood searches with low-quality articles and inaccurate photos, people not being transparent when they use ai for their images, and things that make it harder to do casual research online

lower threshold for doing hard work that polishes skill, leading to over-reliance on a very flawed tool.

the tool itself isn't the problem. it just exacerbates things that were already problems before.

Perplexed, puzzled, and even baffled at the very boring-looking het couple sitting in front of me who are:

snuggling

making the grossest puppy-dog eyes at each other

sharing food

and, most importantly

watching Don't Hug Me I'm Scared [???]
