As much as I want to support ethical farming practices I will be buying the cheapest bag of frozen chicken thighs as much as the next frugal/poor person which is why animal welfare needs to be legislated, not left up to the invisible hand of the free market or some bullshit. Invisible hand of the free market finds itself around a lot of throats.

You can be talking to someone and she'll be like, "Oh I made a silly mistake. Women don't deserve voting rights teehee." And you'll be like, "What." And she'll be like, "Oh I'm sorry! That must sound so bad out of context. No it's this Tiktok meme where, if you're a girl and you do something dumb, you say 'Women don't deserve voting rights teehee.'"

And you'll be like, "That sounds bad." And she'll be like, "No no. It's totally not that bad. It's just a meme. Men say it too. Like if a man does something silly he'll be like, 'I am like those women who do not deserve to vote.'" And you'll be like, "Does that make it better?" And she'll be like, "Well there was one guy who tried to make 'Men shouldn't vote' a popular meme. But it never caught on and also he got yelled at a lot."

And then you drop it there because like, you're harshing the vibe.

What if Queen had a dog based on ChatGPT that whenever it was asked to do stuff like "roll around" it replies with a robotic sentence where it says it can't perform physical acts and that was the entire joke

“connor roy is trans,” i say into the mic.

the crowd boos. i begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.

“they’re right,” they say. i look for the owner of the voice. there in the 5th row stands: the presidential candidate himself.

We sure have been getting a lot of silksong news these past few months so I figured I should draw something for it.

“[Keanu] Reeves said a recent conversation about “The Matrix” with a 15-year-old put things into a terrifying perspective. The actor explained to the teenager that his character, Neo, is fighting for what’s real. The teenager scoffed and said, “Who cares if it’s real?” “People are growing up with these tools: We’re listening to music already that’s made by AI in the style of Nirvana, there’s NFT digital art,” Reeves said. “It’s cool, like, Look what the cute machines can make! But there’s a corporatocracy behind it that’s looking to control those things. Culturally, socially, we’re gonna be confronted by the value of real, or the non-value. And then what’s going to be pushed on us? What’s going to be presented to us?” “It’s this sensorium. It’s spectacle. And it’s a system of control and manipulation,” Reeves continued. “We’re on our knees looking at cave walls and seeing the projections, and we’re not having the chance to look behind us.””

Hiii :] I apologize for the long ass confession but I js wanted to go on a rant about my current obsession over my lovely wife (there's a TLDR at the bottom btw)

Okay, I don't know where the idea of the Radiance being this elegant, composed, seductive (ew ew ew ew ew ew i hate that especially) god came from because realistically she would NOT be like that.

She has been sealed away for practically centuries at this point & this voided child is actively hunting her down while she hunts said child down as well. She lost everything to the Pale King & she's described as being full of rage & hatred for Hallownest for basically the entirety of its existence. There is no way she would be as collected as she's portrayed in fanon.

Nononono the Radiance would be absolutely deranged at this point, she is definitely unstable in the head. She wouldn't be singing sweet songs to citizens at this point, she would be actively ripping the dreams of her victims apart in sheer disgust that they would even think to join the Pale King's side, even if they didn't. She would be absolutely paranoid of everything remotely related to Hallownest because that wyrm tried to kill me by leaving me to be forgotten & using that void against me, of course they would too, given their alliance with him (even if said alliance doesn't exist) This is not elegance and grace this is a fucked up god that's been running on wrath & adrenaline for who knows how long now. This is a goddess that loved way too much & now that love combined with repulsion is actively eating away at her. This was once a benevolent god towards her people, & now she is a blinding light of destruction towards everything that tries to kill her, and everything that doesn't try to kill her.

ALSO, I also hate when people assume that because she's so fucked up now, she was always like that. The moths were described as pacifists & the seer says that the moths enjoyed worshipping her, so she was most likely a more peaceful god, until all ye Hallownest happened. I don't believe that moths left completely willingly (I mean who the fuck sees some random wyrm building a kingdom & decides to leave the god they worshipped for their entire lives, no one's that stupid realistically. Actually I know some people that are but that's not the point) I think the Pale King convinced the moths to seal her in order (is that an ultrakill reference) to be worshipped by as many people as possible.

TLDR: The Radiance wouldn't be as graceful as people portray her. Realistically she would've completely lost it like before she was sealed in the temple. She was also most likely more peaceful, until everything Hallownest came along.

otay ima go back in my corner & continue obsessing over her bye bye :>

agree with most except for the moth’s unwillingly leavings

great writing🤍

i am grateful to have my position as a college professor! i teach online communications course and it is a real joy!

BUT.

if i see one more goddamn AI regurgitation in place of an actual discussion post — discussion posts that ask about your thoughts, your opinions, your experiences — i’m going to flip out.

if you’re a college student copying from AI, listen. listen. i would rather have your work that is clearly made by a human. flawed organization, a few typos, words used incorrectly, missing transitions, a thesis statement that needs work. because it’s what you made.

someone is paying for you to be here, someone designed these courses to challenge you, someone is grading your work to help you succeed — someday you will have a boss, someday you will be a boss, and someday very, very soon, you will have to put these skills to use. these skills that you are only pretending to develop. (and honestly? half of you aren’t pretending very well. you shove the prompt into chatgpt and don’t even check if it meets the requirements, so even your plagiarized work misses the mark.)

anyway. to my students who post their own work, flaws and all, you are delightful. it is so thrilling to watch your voice change and grow over the course of the semester. the fact that you take time to put together your own work when AI is being constantly shoved down your throat is insanely remarkable. be proud of yourself.

i think it should be illegal to not have paper menus. and it should be illegal to only accept digital payments and not accept cash

generally making anything accessible only with a phone sould be illegal. like genuinely regulated by the govt and forbidden. IMO

Worm thing and his gianthuge tree wife

[fivewormhearts]

oh connor roy you are not the eldest son, and i am sorry for that.

you are the eldest daughter.

he was grown when his siblings were born, he cared for them like a parent. he raised them messily, it was the best he could do, and yet he could not protect them from their father’s anger, he could not stop them from turning into their father. their father doesn’t even fucking like him. and it’s fine, it’s okay, because he has his siblings, siblings matter most, except —

the first to leave the house. the house grows around his absence with a little too much ease.

[fivewormhearts]

anyway kendall roy yelling not i am the eldest son but i am the eldest boy.

directed at shiv, of course directed at shiv, it was not that long ago he told her it’s only her teats that give her value. fuck the patriarchy indeed, kendall. it’s not his place in the sibling lineup that matters, it’s that he’s a boy. not a girl. it’s his masculinity that counts.

except he says boy. because he’s a kid, they’re all kids, and the fate of all of them is decided through fucking tantrums.

[fivewormhearts]

i will forever regret being born the eldest daughter and not the eldest son. don’t ask him to take care of us. ask me to take care of them. it’s what i’m doing right now, anyway. look at me. see me.

[fivewormhearts]

Yes, I did it
