Personally I think reading old books ('classics' or not) is good, actually, as is reading new books, and you can and should read both, and not make a virtue out of not reading one or the other. Art is contiguous with history, and readers/writers should have an awareness of what came before.

Enjoy the summer！🌧💧🍹

Humanity needs to wake up & radically shift priorities.

We must facilitate the evolution of global civilization to ensure a future built on peace, biodiversity, sustainability, renewable energy, & eco-consciousness.

This is the only planet we’ll ever have.

We should really start acting like it.

just because a food item is new doesn't make it inauthentic.
ciabatta bread, tiramisu, boba tea, caesar salad, pad thai were all invented recently.

the overwhelming number of "traditional" dishes were invented post-WWII. food traditions move fast.

Like I can replace most of it, but I don't have the money to do so anymore.

I hope I'm wrong and it's all still hiding somewhere in my apartment, but I can't think of anywhere it could be right now. I am. So tired. Final straw on a camels back I guess.

Finally went through the rest of my stuff after the move, realized I can't find any of my best/most used jewelry making stuff, and I having such a bad crash out about it right now.

Like thisclose to throwing away the rest of my beads and never coming back to the hobby crash out.

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

A Google alert announces Chappell Roan concert tickets, but the image is of Weird Al

You sure about this, Google?

Like I have the same hat in a different color, I know exactly what city she's in and it's not big enough that there's infinite mental health offices there...

The "lady who fell in love with her psychiatrist" is a great example of how you need to be careful of what you're wearing and saying in videos because just from her hat and the fact that she said the psychiatrist's nationality it's too damn easy to find him even if she hadn't said his first name

This is a tangent but Batman taught me an important lesson about storytelling that actually applies here

(I'm serious but stop for a moment to really sit with the absurdity of that sentence while I write the next one)

If you actually believe in their machine God and the alleged threat/opportunity it presents, the differences between their views are significant, and their actions can be viewed as heroic.

If you like democracy and understand how LLMs actually work, you know that all these dudes are huffing makers.

The reason companies want you to use Al isn't because they want you to make art, it's because they want you to NOT make art. Real art is an enemy of capital, by definition. It's a weapon you can use to fight back, which is why they want to sabotage your creativity. Don't let them win.

AI is generating more dipshit crime ideas faster than I can keep up. It turns out it DOES help writers!

The fun thing about working in tech is watching everyone evangelize about AI as if it works 100% of the time and hallucinations don't happen.

"Look how much tedious work this will save us" no you're just making more tedious work because someone has to line check what the AI shat out.

An updated character design for an old character of mine named Auspicious. Originally a tiefling for d&d he's gone through a few iterations. I'm gonna re-invent him yet again for a new project I'm working on, but I love how this look came out for him and will try to incorporate it 💙🦚🖤

And these were kids who careers are, if not wholly defined by these movies, will at least have the lifelong association as the start of their careers.

What's everyone else's excuse?

I Have a Master’s in Child Protection. Here is Why You Shouldn’t Abuse the Word Grooming. Conservatives are freely giving child molesters every tool they need just to spite liberals and progressives.

The misuse and abuse of the word grooming is sadly yet one more example—the evangelical obsession with breaking children’s wills is another—of how many conservatives couldn’t care less about protecting children from actual grooming by child predators.

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?

Mary Shelley doesn't get enough credit for not only anticipating the silver-spooned narcissist techbro who recklessly creates technology without thinking through the consequences, but also for knowing that said techbro would be an absolutely terrible father.

The problem with the “proship dni” label is that there is an approximately 2% chance it means “pedophiles stay away from me” and a 98% chance it means “I am fundamentally incapable of controlling my own emotions and if I ever see a kink I don’t like I will start behaving like an enraged gorilla.”

A soft goddess, she cries for all the injustices across the universe 🥀
But she’ll make it right 🥹💖

An old #Allura drawing based off a model I saw on Pinterest! Sadly I can’t find the exact pic anymore but they were beautiful 🥲

my god, this is one of the most accurate and succinct takes ive seen on this platform re: the discussion on cuba and fidel lately. i need people to stop idolizing fidel castro bc a lot of the people that are doing that know very little about the actual situation in cuba. he was a corrupt dictator.

Thinking back to every major data leak ever and how once one of those happens with people's real IDs it will be the single greatest identity theft disaster in history and a lot of people will never be able to recover from it

I'm not filled with confidence when my senator emails me back about KOSA and is talking about child safety.

Like I don't know why we're pretending this is about children. Also why should I give up my right to privacy and information because some people can't parent their own damn kids??

spite is lowkey the best motivation to write 😂
