There’s No Such Thing as Polite Littering I’ve gotten exhausted with the ways that convenience culture has shifted what we find acceptable when it comes to waste.

"I’ve gotten exhausted with the ways that convenience culture has shifted what we find acceptable when it comes to waste." @marianneeloise.bsky.social on littering and its cost.

last generation to have any tech literacy or water. we had a good run

old ladies at a village café sat next to me showing off their AI-generated portraits to each other…we’re so fucked

There’s No Such Thing as Polite Littering I’ve gotten exhausted with the ways that convenience culture has shifted what we find acceptable when it comes to waste.

"There is a certain type of person who sees a hole and perceives it to be a trash can, where others have seen the potential for a garden." The latest by @marianneeloise.bsky.social on littering and the cost of convenience culture.

In deepest Cornwall, a coven of witches is steadily growing in power — using spells, potions and... WhatsApp.

My Body is a Bouquet How botanical tattoos help me immortalize what is impermanent.

"Flowers, like seasons and people, are temporary... Which is why I found a way to immortalize them, to avoid that loss, with tiny needles and pots of color." How botanical tattoos helped @marianneeloise.bsky.social immortalize what is impermanent 🪴

guess not!

"I went to Dungeness because I love that space and silence that some people call desolation."

@marianneeloise.bsky.social reports on the gentrification of 'England's only desert':

i am just so angry and sad. none of this ever had to happen

AI probably should have been banned when the first person took their own life because of it

The Media's Pivot to AI Is Not Real and Not Going to Work AI is not going to save media companies, and forcing journalists to use AI is not a business model.

Media outlets can't pivot to AI to save themselves. It's not a business strategy and it's not going to work. The only path forward is for journalists to lean into their humanity, to do things AI can't, and to make clear they are writing for people, not algorithms:

Vox piece with headline: "You’re being lied to about protein" and description: "Yes, protein builds muscle. No, you don’t need as much as lifting influencers say." It has an illustration of several people shoving steak and a chicken leg into a giant prop stomach. Salami and other meats are on the ground surrounding.

A certain fitness writer has brain-poisoned women of my generation into thinking they need 1g protein per lb of bodyweight to gain muscle, they can't be fully plant-based, etc. It's all horseshit (as a muscular girlie, I would know!). So I decided to write about protein science🏋️‍♀️

for a start vegan leather is made from mushrooms, cactus, grapes…it isn’t always plastic. second the vegan goal is kind of no death ever for any reason lol either burgers or shoes

big push against vegan leather atm. seen some people arguing that vegans should be fine with it because it’s a byproduct of the meat industry. how fucking stupid are you

god i can’t stop thinking about this. it’s just pure fucking evil
