しろくま成長記

お手手にもお花が咲いてるよー

i try to talk to strangers on the internet like we are chatting in line at the grocery store together. some of u talk to strangers on the internet like you are having active road rage at all times

I think about this tweet constantly

I've assembled a team of the most horrible perverts and criminals you've ever seen and we're going to fix this country

"that's not canon" hey remember when fandom having fun and doing things outside of canon was, like. the entire point

😭😭😭

i just think she’s neat

I love art. I love this craft of visual romanticization. Seeing how people interpret the world around them with their feelings and thoughts poetically laid bare in line and color. Art can ignite the imagination and passion in others and it’s all done by moving a stick around with intent and emotion.

i'm not downloading an app for your shitty product or business

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital.

You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library.

You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library.

You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library.

You want sourced info? Library.

me when any program's AI assistant asks me if I want help writing:

Bumping the threadstarter to repeat the plea again: PLEASE stop using follow-farming hashtags like #NoDemUnder1k, #NoDemUnder5k, #BlueCrew, #FBR, #FBPE, etc -- any "use this hashtag/like this post/repost this post/reply to this post/etc to get followers". You are providing cover for bad actors.

Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right?

Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.

The best thing you can do for an author is to request their book from your library. The library will usually get it for you! The author will get an immediate sale, and libraries will know there is a demand for their future books! Just google your library name plus "book request" or walk in and ask

*made
LMAO
mad brownies.

mad brownies. so many brownies.

It is a weapon for the angry sniveling goblins to decide that artists are now their enemy
It's a tool for the capitalists to make every product worse for the small bonus of destroying labour
its a crutch for fascists to avoid the tricky issue of having to engage with experiences outside of their own

Aside from the labour aspect, I find the act of generative AI to be traitorous to the human spirit and indicative of the lecherous ghouls that wish to poison the social fabric for profit

It is my enemy no matter how good it can summarize a 2 paragraph email

made my own recipe (like i usually do lol)
apple cinnamon cake/bread with dry cranberries, sunflower kernels, and oats.
waiting for the batter to rest right now before i put it in the oven. 🍎🍞💕

Writing is thinking.

It’s not a part of the process that can be skipped; it’s the entire point.

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.

so funny when sqq says his relationship with lqg isn't "too terrible" buddy that man is in love with you

Poor Liu Qingge. The worst person you know (former) is now the guy you have a huge crush on (angry) and is also married to the worst person you know (current).

The Library of Congress has literally one gazillion public domain photos and illustrations that are free to use for your projects!

This is the money Marge. Reskeet for good fortune. 💰

Reminder: you don’t have to be good at something to enjoy it, you don’t have to get better at it, you don’t have to monetize it, and it doesn’t have to be useful.

It looks so good ahh 🤤💕
