Kit (Metaphors and Moonlight)

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Is there any covid safe dentist or oral surgeon in the Miami or South Florida area? (staff wearing n95 or equivalent, air filters)

Digital painting of a fairy knight. He has pale blue skin, green hair, and he is covered in spiny black armor from head to toe. He has a beetle horn in the middle of his head, and a beetle helmet to match, as well as small beetle wings. He is also wielding a spear.

My arm eventually got sore, so at least that might've been ok. Good to know that symptoms can differ though. No, my other foot had probably a hairline fracture 6 years ago that my body couldn't heal or healed badly. I'm collecting chronic injuries because my body has no strength to heal them.

💙 It seems a lot of book bloggers (myself included) barely blog anymore or have stopped.

Like, just be honest with me. Look me in the immunocompromised eye and say "I could take a small measure to help keep you safe from a disabling oncogenic disease, one that's been proven to reduce transmission, but I don't WANT to."

“Without widespread theft, my industry can’t survive” is an argument against your industry surviving, and is not an argument for allowing widespread theft

Close up of the image in the above post.

A close up of just line art in which the arm holding the shoulder is bent, revealing the face of the chest-kissing man which is behind the arm in the finished version. And there's a hand on the lower back of the man with head back, which got covered by the big jelly cone in the finished version.

Close up. Also, I drew a hand and a face, only to then cover them up 😭 So here they are, please appreciate them too 😅

Two jellyfish merman floating through the water, holding each other passionately, one kissing the other one's chest. The one being kissed is arching back with his head back, arm grabbing the other one's shoulder. Both have dark skin and dark hair with glowing orange and yellow jellyfish tails. Their hair and jellyfish tendrils are flowing toward the left of the image.

I know I barely use this site, but I drew some jellyfish mermen, based on the pacific sea nettle! #Mermay #Mermay2025 #merman

Good news! I figured out how to get it back by copying the exe that was still tucked away in a folder.

Why tf did Microsoft remove Wordpad???? That's what I use for all my documents, what am I supposed to use now 😭 Why does every company just keep making everything worse, I don't understand.

I Google searched "iguana colorful" and got a bunch of AI images, so then I searched "real iguana colorful" and got an AI result telling me that iguanas can be colorful. I hate that the internet is like this now, I just want actual real search results 😭

please mask and wash your hands and test if you don’t feel well. so many people are getting sick and getting others sick. stay home if you’re sick. exposing countless workers to illness so you can get your holiday shopping done or whatever is gross.

A European Common Cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) exhibiting the "disruptive" pattern. It is sitting on some black pebbles that are about as big as the cuttlefish. There a some light brown pebbles to the side. The cuttlefish is facing away from the camera. The cuttlefish is showing a pattern that contains white square in the middle of its mantle. The rest of its skin is a mix of dark and light brown that looks like sand.

I find it hilarious that one pattern cuttlefish like to do is a big white square on their mantle.

They are great at doing patterns to blend in with their enviroment but sometimes they just think "time for ■"

Don't ask me if it was good, I couldn't even properly hear the lyrics 😭 I couldn't see my phone either, so I didn't know it was about trains at first, and it took me almost an entire song to understanding they were say they "chug" and they "choo."

Otherwise, I put on a video to listen to and start doing something and can't get to my phone, and then I end up listening to 30 mins of a musical about anthropomorphic trains.

Ice cold take, probably? I don't think YouTube ads should be allowed to be over, idk, two minutes long. I don't care if there's a skip button. They should still be two minutes maximum.

I didn't love the second book as much, but I really loved the first and am looking forward to Book 3!

Yay! I think it is the newest one... maybe? 😅 I've gotten bad at keeping up with books. I've liked a couple of their other books too.

not to mention the number of times I didn't understand what I was looking at (what tv character that was, whether there's a cat in this photo, whether it's the plant I'm supposed to be focusing on or something else, what meme this is, etc) that alt text has cleared up for me so I haven't had to ask

All I can think now is, if this person they've taken in already has chronic pain, and he's being held somewhere or gets prison, the gov isn't going to care. He'll get even less help for the pain. And that's not ok.

Exactly. By the time you realize you're sick, you've already been contagious, and if you weren't masking, might've spread it to others.

I'm just so tired of people thinking sick = "normal life with some sniffles," when, for a lot of people, it means the very real potential for hospitalization, longterm complications, or death. And it could be prevented with simple precautions like wearing masks and not going out while sick. 6/

A lot of previously able-bodied people have learned how untrue that is the hard way.

I used to do gymnastics. I rarely got sick most of my life. I've been to so many doctors since my chronic illness who didn't care, didn't listen, or didn't know. It can happen to anyone. 5/

And I know a lot of able-bodied people don't care because it must be my fault. It's the fault of disabled people that we're unwell. You would never end up like us because you're better, you take care of yourself, you'd go to doctors and be cured. 4/

Most relatively healthy and able-bodied people think being sick is not that bad. It's not bad for you, therefore it's not bad for anyone. But when you spread sickness, you're also spreading it to people like me. 3/

If I get sick, at best I might just sit in a haze in a quiet room for a few days. Maybe half listening to but not really absorbing some YouTube videos. At worst, I could end up in the hospital, miserable for months, even more permanently disabled, or dead. 2/

So often I see / hear about people filming videos, recording podcasts, making art, doing crafts, cooking meals, doing their makeup, working out, etc. while they're sick.

I feel worse than that on a daily basis. Even not sick, I can't work out, cook meals, do crafts, talk for more than 2 minutes. 1/

Water footprint but the toes extend into curved points that look like claws. There also appears to only be four toes.

I walked out of the shower with wet feet, and, umm. I think I might be a werewolf?

Don't ask me, I didn't name it 😄
