i had a writing teacher show us how he uses chatgpt to get feedback on his writing…… like pls sir…… the robot isn’t reading your stuff it’s simply generating the most plausible sentences a critique would sound like…… i repeat the robot is not reading nor relating to your writing in any way no matter how much your ego gets stroked by autogenerated praise and tips this is the author’s equivalent of reading a horoscope

Long before the introduction of color film, a Russian chemist and photographer named Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky used an innovative technique. He took three individual black and white photos, each through a colored filter (red, green, and blue), to create fully colored, high-quality pictures. The photo of this woman, taken by him, is around 107 years old!

current mood: going very much crazy over the videos and pictures of assad zaman as the young syrian in the RSC production of Salome from 2017 where salome was genderfluid and played by a male actor. then going extra crazy when i learn he was the understudy for salome and apparently did play that part in one of the performances (of which we have no evidence of). then going extra extra crazy when i learn that bally gill (aka Real Rashid) was ALSO in this production. woah

Still find it wild that people dont forget me the second im not talking to them. What do you mean things remind you of me and you think about me when im not there?

i wonder sometimes if people understand how much courage it takes artists to share their art. it's you giving your heart to the world and saying 'here, i made this' without knowing if it will be held gently or even held at all. every time you make yourself that vulnerable, you're opening yourself up to potential hurt. and yet artists keep doing it over and over again. because if just one person says 'i see what you made and it means something to me'...that makes it all worth it

As a child, did you ever have a crush on a teacher, instructor, coach, or other similar adult authority figure?

yes, multiple (3+) times

yes, just once or twice

no (I DO experience crushes)

no (I do NOT experience crushes)

nuance?

In The Odyssey, Odysseus is extraordinary for the flexibility with which he can inhabit many different names, or no name at all. It is this quality of being multinamed and nameless that enables him to survive. By contrast, almost all the warriors of The Iliad yearn to have a name and a story that lasts forever. Their many names and titles, as sons and brothers and comrades and fathers and rulers, are essential to their identities, their connections with one another, and their fame after death. They fear, above all, being humiliated (cursed with a negative name), or forgotten and nameless. The lists and catalogs of names are essential to the poem’s own work, of memorializing and mourning the dead. Once the bodies return to dust, these syllables are all that remain.

– Emily Wilson, Translator's note for The Iliad.

i think dean would be more giddy over the fact that him and cas are best friends than if they were in a relationship.

like they are laying together on the bed, cas is on his phone and dean just randomly turns to him and asks “hey, i’m your bestfriend, right?” and cas just gives him a look wondering if he’s serious and he is. and cas goes a little soft and says “yes, dean.” and dean lights up and smiles and shuffles closer and just says “awesome” in that little whimsy voice like he can’t believe it. and for the next ten minutes is like “you’re my best friend too. like, ever. you’re my best friend, cas.” and all cas does is smile and mumbles “yes, dean. i know, dean.” and keeps holding him.

Even if you are completely indifferent or even negative on porn you need to understand that having to give sites like discord or tumblr your ID or picture to verify your age is really, really bad with regards to privacy and cybersecurity.

That stuff can and will get leaked or stolen. It happens regularly, and then it can be used to dox you, steal your identity, and more.
