Every single person on Reddit has the media literacy of a wad of chewing gum and I worry that maybe every single person under 30 has the media literacy of a wad of chewing gum.

Bri. Writer. Teacher. Occasional person. If I were a flower I would be a metaphor.

This is also how I flirt with women but so far it’s not working

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”
Got a message from someone asking for one of my deleted/hidden fics: yes, this is totally fine. If I wrote something that came down and you miss it, shoot me a message and I’ll send it to you (in most cases). I have my reasons for why I took a lot of stuff down, but I don’t mind sharing privately.
“i was here for ao3 beta version” making me feel old because i’ve been reading fics before ao3 even existed
Gutted because I’ve really been enjoying this particular ultra-popular fic with everyone else, but considering what’s been going on (and as someone who took a lot of stuff down not too long ago), I get it. It sucks, but I get it. Hope the author finds their joy again, for them.
I do worry that one of these days one of my past students or someone who’s attended one of my presentations will connect that me to here me and my soul will leave my body for a better world
*hands back soapbox* sorry I’ve just been up to here with AI governance stuff IRL and nobody knows what they’re doing and it’s all so fucking dumb and I hate seeing that dumb bleed into fandom, anyway how are you guys
So there’s some kind of witchhunt happening with Heated Rivalry fic authors being accused of using AI by people who can “just tell” and as someone who’s been researching and presenting on this stuff statewide: no, you really can’t. That’s the problem, and randomly accusing people isn’t the answer.
My fellow writers might not want to hear this, but AI is a useful tool for certain aspects of the craft, like for instance when you’re engaged in the process of being a talentless shitbag hack who is too lazy to do any fucking writing.
The AI companies write in their T&C that their AI should only be used for entertainment purposes. I don't know how they can make it clearer that you shouldn't use it for research or really anything other than a toy.
EMDR is like volunteering to get punched in the face very very hard but afterwards you get the best hug of your life
I love that I told @mandylorian.bsky.social she needs to watch Heated Rivalry and I’m obsessed now when both of us were primarily concerned about whether the hockey was accurate (If any of you are writing fic 1) I want links 2) lmk if you need to learn hockey, I got you)

I love when people enjoy my work but also appreciate this person giving me a heads-up about my fics being on GoodReads, which I do NOT love. There’s something gross about hobbyist work created for fun getting a star rating. No one signed up for that. Even if it’s meant as a compliment, please don’t.
…well it’s been a minute since we had a classic Nor’easter. Stay safe, fellow mid-Atlanticans.
Someone on here recommended this fic and it was so much fun! Highly recommend it! Quick read too ♥️ archiveofourown.org/works/899041...

I’m giving a presentation at an AI-in-education conference at the end of the month. Am I allowed to just run a 20-minute scroll of the catastrophic hallucinations I experienced during testing and hit the mini bar
Shout-out to the tiny, ancient old man with Coke-bottle-thick glasses at my doctor’s office this morning who, when asked for his last name at the desk, said, “Bond — like James” and gave the nurses a giant smile and hearty laugh. (I just know his grandkids love him.)
Just a black lab and her Lambchop against the world
Since gamergate, I have have in the back of my mind what one might call ‘fascist recruiting tactics.’ Some of these could be called 1) unlock forbidden wishes, promise to satisfy them 2) use inequality to create envy + promise share of spoils 3) create belonging by promising ‘total acceptance.’
A Carolina Wren got in our house today and someone is still sulking that it was allowed to escape.
I’m starting to think the people who are excited about “AI agents” have literally never used a computer in their lives
