I really want to see someone write a critically reimagined review of the entire tech landscape from, say, 2004 to the present, as primarily being an architecture for marshaling and directing harassment.

Considering how many horror stories I’ve read about relatives posting real pictures of babies and kids on public social media platforms against the parents’ wishes, I can only fathom how widely accessible AI tools will escalate these violations

It’s better than any drug all the elements on this earth could ever form

I hope one of the many cybertruck owners that has been on the receiving end of me rolling down my window and sticking a thumbs down out as far as possible when they go past me is reading this article and crying over being 👎’d

You’ll notice that new developments in generative AI are always accompanied by new ways of depicting women without their consent—undermining their autonomy and harassing them—almost like it’s a pillar of the technology and its evolution

Me with beavers rn

feels like we're living through some kind of cultural gas leak

Taylor Swift, singing about a toxic age gap relationship that left her emotionally scarred for years: give me back my girlhood it was mine first
Instagram dropship brands: we can use this. for profit

It’s actually so terrifying how the meme-y discussion around Girlhood started as a way for women to vent about the unspeakable sexual harms and social abuse enacted upon them as they were forced into an expedited, traumatized coming of age and turned into a way for brands to market you stuff

pretty sly of melville slipping his own name into moby dick by making the captain “ahab” (assigned herman at birth)

That’s true

Nobody appreciates me around here

Letters and happy face beads on colorful elastic spelling out HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE. Harlan Ellison, I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream

Finished the beading >:]

Batman snapping a firearm in two. He says "this is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it."

Whenever I see people associate left politics with "higher IQ"

I know a guy

This popular meme is a joke about the sexual assault and murder of a trans man, Brandon Teena.

Most don’t know that. Now you do. Now spend some time thinking about why you don’t know that.

Just in case you forgot rich people ruin everything sacred, a yacht cruise line stole the name of John Denver’s environmental organization. Sink a yacht for John Denver today

This made me sick to read but this is exactly why we have to talk about surrogacy not existing in a perfect world and within our reality it being a tool to abuse women. In and of itself it sounds like there shouldn’t be issues with informed consenting adults doing it, but we live in this timeline

The hatred I have for this man can’t be contained within my one mortal body

I’ve loathed Malcom Gladwell since high school when I had to read Blink and he used the term “temporary autism” to describe bad decision making under distress. If Malcom Gladwell has no haters I am cold in the ground. No fucking surprises here

If I had been more mentally stable as a teenager I would’ve become such a successful Wikipedia editor

I’ve been very into rooibos lately myself… big fan after never trying it until this year (somehow)

I ABSOLUTELY see the vision

I just know as soon as your plans get cancelled you’re in a robe with a bread-based meal

Invoking the litany against fear to get through my blood pressure check

Always by hand, even though I grew up around the sewing machine and my mom is great with it and taught me how to use it I am somehow 27 and scared of the it 😭 for some reason I am convinced it’s gonna eat my hands so I opt for poking myself 500 times instead which makes perfect sense

I’ve been doing fiber arts in some way for around a decade and I’m still pretty basic at everything, my mom is a total crochet master though oh my lord idk HOW she does it. I still haven’t picked what project I’m gonna do while I recover post op but I’m leaning towards some embroidery which I LOOOVE

Me wanting to join and finally do my vintage latch hook raccoon kit but I just found out the latch hook at my house is too big
