Honestly baffled by folks who watch films at twice the normal speed, or who think they can use AI to generate art & creative writing because it “saves time.” Saves time for what? So you can spend another hour on your phone? You’re willfully skipping all the best parts of life.

“I asked ChatGPT” well I asked the three Fates and the one with the scissors got very agitated when I told her you were using your one precious life thread talking to that cursed thing

Rep. Victoria Spartz's second and last town hall of this weekend -- this one in Muncie, Indiana -- is already starting off with boos and yelling from the 160 person audience.

When she took the mic, the entire audience booed her.

Imagine cheering on people in power who are actively targeting and harming the hungry, the poor, the sick, the elderly, the veteran, the disabled, the different, and the stranger and still somehow expecting people to believe you follow Jesus.

American Christians win a political victory. As a result, children lose access to food. AIDS patients lose access to medicine. Migrants are mistreated. Allies are abandoned. Dictators overjoyed.

My brothers and sisters, this should not be.

“optimize your writing with AI—” how about you optimize your brain by thinking for yourself and not outsourcing your creativity to companies owned by some of the world’s worst people

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

in retrospect maybe it was a mistake to tell young people that reading, the arts, the humanities weren’t important and that “learning to code” was sufficient for a good life.

[Sarah @_smoze]

Right so, “resist” means *don’t* follow fascist orders.
Don’t take the art off the walls.
Don’t delete the website.
Don’t open the dams.

Play dumb. Ask for clarity, repeatedly. Lose the email. Misplace the keys. Stall. Ignore. Forget. Crawl.

You are the line, you hold it.

@wylfcen I have to fake an emotional reaction for emotions I'm actually having. My genuine emotional reactions come across as either "cold" or "too much," so I've learned to layer a fake emotion over top of the real one so that other people can tell.

[Danika Jordan Alicia @DanikaJA]

@TaraWineQueen They don't want you to manage it. They want you to add a credit card to your account, give them permission to charge it (with plenty of fine print), and then forget about it entirely/never check to make sure the charges match your bill. It's all an enormous scam.

Me: Time for my favorite Christmas movie featuring a white-bearded immortal, a ginger who’s good with an axe, a bunch of elves, and one weird little dude who leads the way

Him: oh, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!

Me:

Him:

Me: *puts on LOTR: The Two Towers*

being mentally ill and self aware is so annoying because not only do i know when i’m being self destructive, i watch myself do it anyway

brat summer is out, elven autumn is in. we’re going for long walks in the woods. we’re singing ballads of ages gone by. we’re writing poetry while sitting in trees. we’re crafting jewellery with the help of a beautiful but very suspicious emissary of the valar.

some hard truths to learn about being autistic:

i don’t mask as well as i think i do.
i didn’t mask as well as i think i did.

it’s not that i ‘don’t look autistic’. it is that they know i am different but cannot place it. they don’t know what to look for.

me thinking about my story: i’m a literary genius

me actually writing my story: i’d sell my soul to the devil for a full sentence

[Vivid Void @vividvoid]

Truly one of the great bangers

[Danika Jordan Alicia @DanikaJA]

Even worse is when you ask for help, and people say that they will, and then don't follow through on their commitment. All it teaches me is not to ask again.

[𝔸sh 🐅🍀 @ashleyann_atx]

if you are high masking autistic person and you express your needs, people just think you are being controlling or difficult. when in reality you are attempting to bravely advocate for yourself and let your needs be known, quite possibly for the first time ever as an adult.
