HAHA LETS REMOVE LIGHT MODE BC DARK MODE IS BETTER OOOOH LIGHT MODE BURNS MY EYES HAHA LOOK IM SO RELATABLE LOL ROFL LMAO

i need some of you motherfuckers to understand that many of us use light mode not bc we like it more, but bc we suffer from visual conditions that make dark mode actually more eye straining than light mode to the point some ppl might find dark mode straight up unreadable, removing it is not some quirky funny little thing, its literally removing accessibility options

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

I know why "prefered pronouns" and "prefered name" were retired from the vocabulary (it's way more than a matter of preference) but in retrospect it feels like a successful psyop to make transphobes sound absolutely incoherent.

an-android-in-a-tutu

Griping about people having "prefered pronouns": legible, clearly indicates what they have a problem with (trans people existing and being respected), makes you a huge unreasonable asshole but one whose grievances can at least be parsed for some kind of meaning.

Griping about people just having "pronouns": Incoherent, you are angry at a part of speech. Old man yells at cloud moment. Your hatred is so blinding that you can't hide that you have no idea what you're talking about and you look like a child throwing a tantrum except a child has probably been in an english class recently enough to know what a pronoun is.

Anyway we should do this with more stuff. Let's just call transitioning puberty exclusively until we get right wing grifters saying that puberty is unnatural and if you've gone through it you're a freak on their shitty little youtube channels.

"Prefered Puberty" is honestly already an incredible way to refer to HRT. Let's do it.

I first read “if you were lazy you would be having fun” on your blog and it has genuinely been a life-changing piece of advice for me and my friends - I’ve said it to like four of my other executive dysfunction judies and without fail it earns a ten second silence followed by a single revelatory “fuck”

My dad and I actually ran into the speech language pathologist who told me that over 20 years ago at a town hall a few months back—she is retired now, but still advocating for disabled students at IEP meetings and being a nuisance to school administrators. I thanked her for everything, and she was delighted to hear that I was passing her words along to other people who needed to hear them!

I'm generally of the opinion that trying to resurrect prematurely cancelled shows is like necromancy—odds are they'll come back wrong.

Except for Galavant. Any Galavant revivial will be funnier the longer it stayed cancelled.

Tags pass peer review, etc, because they SO perfectly capture the spirit of the show.

I got a deviantart account to look at creature designs and immediately learned that deviantart in 2023 is like 85% AI generated fetish porn

headspace-hotel

In hindsight I don't know why I did this because every time I visit that website I learn about a new fetish no matter what I was seeking to find.

headspace-hotel

anyway forget the intellectual property debate, we need to scour AI art from the face of the earth because it's creepy, soulless, and ugly as shit from a butt

headspace-hotel

Why has AI art been getting...worse? Not in terms of things like "can it draw a hand or not" but in terms of like...being appealing in some way. The uncanny valley effect has gone WAY up for me

chequerootlurks

AI has been getting worse because we’re now at a point where it pulls source from previous AI art, giving it a very disturbing effect.

My kiddo uses a term “inbred AI art” to describe this.

holmoris

It's called 'model collapse' and really it's the thing that's going to kill AI for people who just want to steal art and not put effort in.

Hi Tumblr I'm an Asian fantasy author fleeing the sudden death of all my other social media sites 👋 I've used Tumblr for years as a fandom lurker and rarely posted but in light of all my other communities imploding I guess I'll have to figure out how to be actually active on Tumblr and find bookish and writerly folks here 💜 say hi if that's you 🥺

If you love diverse filipino fantasy with bipoc leads, angry bi women clawing for space in a world that's always rejected them and soft boys who'd do anything for them, awesome elemental magic based on early Filipino shaman/ babaylan/katalonan mythologies and the Tagalog creation story, and the Bakunawa/Laho the 🇵🇭 sea dragon 🐉 and drowning colonizers then I hope you'll keep an eye out for SAINTS OF STORM AND SORROW coming in June 2024 from Titan Books

odd, I thought stories should be centered because they’re good stories well written, but I guess claiming some identity or other is more important.  Silly me.

inkcurlsandknives

Hey! I know I’m not supposed to feed the trolls but attitudes about how books should all just have “normal” people and by normal they mean white-cis-straight and books should only be about the story, never about who the stories are about. Or at the very least they dislike when authors  talk about their “not-normal” demographics, because they’re convinced that because they’re starting to see diverse books on the shelves that there’s no space for “normal” books. 

These sort of writers seem to believe they are the injured party, that publishing no longer caters to them because a few diverse books have squeezed through the gates. When really the needle has BARELY moved. Despite lots of lip service and pushes for diversity over the last few years publishing has stayed massively, hugely white. 

So when you see authors pushing their identity to the forefront know that it is because we are searching for readers like us, the ones who grew up rarely to never getting to see characters like us in our stories, or seeing white authors use us as the butt end of jokes, as racist caricatures, token side kicks, or cannon fodder.  By pushing our books by their target demographics I’m hoping to find the readers for whom our books are a love letter.
