so frustrating I grew up in an anglophone part of the country in french immersion. I never learned basic english or grammar, I taught myself through reading books, learning through being made fun of in english high school, only now to be afraid to use all that skill bc I might be accused of being AI
my most controversial opinion is that I am wary of joining fandoms that have popular visual adaptations, and that I like niche book fandoms published 10+ years ago bc while you'd assume they were dead, they are some of the most active
only just got into obsidian and IT IS SICK AF. All my creative writing is on ellipsus, also anti-ai stance, and I'm gonna migrate all my non-collab schoolwork and research writing to obsidian
sort of off topic but has there ever been an instance of mat strapping emil?
this is the first time I've seen someone discuss this, and I feel less alone now. I can't wear binders w my current chest, and I felt like I was wasting the opportunity if I didn't get my whole chest off my chest. it's really important to me that you shared this, ty. it means a lot.
I have been trying to decide whether I just want a breast reduction or full top surgery, bc I'm nb and have dysphoria but only sometimes. I like having boobs (need less of them for pain), but I'm wary to have the scars but not a flat chest bc ppl may invalidate me as not nb the right way.
happy international women’s day but especially to all of the Black, Indigenous, and women of colour; to 2-Spirit women, to intersex women, to trans women. you deserve the most
If you are a fanfic writer who would be happy for fanart of your work please repost
really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
since we're on the topic of leaving comments on fics... can that also extend to people who post threads/their writing/their ideas/etc on here too?
a simple 'I loved this!' or 'amazing!' goes a long way. so does an emoji, a string of emojis, a gif, ANY positive engagement/interaction 👏🏾✨️
alex is also looking super husband in the recent photos being posted like henry is never letting anyone forget that is HIS MAN
Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.
I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

even a comment that's just 'extra kudos' or a bunch of hearts or 'I loved this' can make an author's day!
Hate Eby for a lot of things, but I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
humphries just decided to be transphobic and take position no one asked for, 'standing for the legal immigration process'. She would love to be invited, she's already being a mouthpiece.

"cool can I try one on?"
snl just fumbled the best time to call out the men's team for letting trump and patel cosplay as medallists. so insanely toned down, why tf are we giving them room to be comfortable. they endorsed them, let themselves be show ponies, and whined about things being political.
Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."
Once again.
I also think they were cowards to book those two on the same week as a star of a queer show whose main structural oppressor is the league, and even more so to ask the women to come so that they could absolve themselves some blame through comedy. this was not an apology, this was meaningless fluff.
the only redeeming quality of having the two ice stick players on this show is that it was a humiliation ritual. in their own arenas, they do not get to see just how much better everyone likes the women. this is outside their usual fan bubble and though there were still cheers, mild in comparison.
Hockey Ladies you should not be cleaning up the men's mess. I have yet to hear them apologies. I'm glad you got a spot on SNL. The Hughes brothers, no. #SNL

tenz I watch taskmaster and I still had to process the words lollipop lady for a few seconds. gotta be one of the top englishisms of all time
my dad with youtube shorts. I have had to have so many conversations about sources and critically analyzing media and he just. keeps engaging
here to second this. it's become a term used without cultural context and thus it is easy to use w/o knowing, but from what I understand it is culturally significant and tied to the specific struggles of oppression faced by sapphic ppl
