No shade to the OP for admitting this, but it shocks me that people my age don’t know this. You fundamentally cannot understand how the world functions, how power works, if you don’t know history.

I had to look this up. It's TRUE. 😮 Before 1974, banks typically required a father's or husband's signature in order for a woman to open a credit card account. HOLEEEE SHIT. In my lifetime?!! The patriarchy really sucks. #ArtemisII

Realest post I have read today

get weirder 🫵

listen i love ao3 as much as the next guy but ive seen people quit fic writing over the past few years because people comment and engage with authors way less, and then everyone still freaks out when ao3 goes down- if a fic is irreplaceable to u, let the author know!

[update] Investigating: AO3 is currently down. We do not have an estimated return time currently. We're looking into it with one of our third-party support providers and will update when we have more information. Thank you for your patience!

I'm having one of those days where I am frustrated because for most of the major political questions the issue is not that we don't have answers, the issue is that people with money and power simply ignore the answers because they don't like them

Woe, wall of astigmatism be upon ye

"The greatest danger to our future is apathy. You may be overcome, however, by feelings of helplessness. You are just one person in a world of 6 billion. How can your actions make a difference? Best, you say, to leave it to decision makers. And so you do nothing." Overcome apathy with hope. 🪶

Just a reminder while this is a victory, it's not over yet until Discord completely gives up on the age verification nonsense. Don't resubcribe to Nitro immediately.

Discord has ended its partnership with Persona following community pushback, according to Fortune.

You must never support laws that criminalize free expression even when the ideas and concepts that freedom enables the expression of are things which you personally find disgusting. Morality is subjective. Suffering is not. You cannot use a subjective idea like purity to justify objective pain.

Even if incest kinks aren’t your thing and even if you find it disgusting or weird, this is dangerous. They’ve come after strangulation and seem to be coming for more. This isn’t about “safety” it’s about controlling online anonymity and further shaming sexuality. Wishing my friends in the UK luck ❤️

well, it’s official they’re looking to make possession worth up to 2 years in prison, 5 years for publishing/sharing im really upset and idk what to do

One cool thing about unequivocally hating AI is that you will be proven right over and over again every single day

As someone who's literal job is teaching people how to write, yes I will absolutely shame you for using AI to write your shit. It's just Plagiarism with extra steps and doe literally nothing for you. I would rather my students use Spark Notes and Wikipedia

Boze Herrington, Library Owl@sketchesbyboze.bsky.social · last yr.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

relevant to a few too many things going on right now

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

The Fox take: we're mad. But we can't explain why since we couldn't understand anything that was said.

The stance that bad people make bad art is really just going to hurt you when inevitably, if you like ANY art at all, you’re gonn run into someone who’s great at it who sucks Acknowledging bad people can make good art is vital to accepting when someone tells you an artist you like has done wrong

one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.
