I've been really enjoying this channel, which is mostly a guy in his workshop meticulously restoring old carnival rides and figuring out the techniques as he goes along - it's very relaxing to watch: youtube.com/watch?v=aBLLQ4DPW8

@wyldtom @stella IKEA is the largest logging company in the world, responsible for the destruction of thousands of ecosystsems , illigal logging and colonisation all around the world.

Their actions in Sapmí and Romania alone would land them in the Hague, this is Pinkwashing of ecocide, genocide and colonialism

FUCK IKEA, NO CORPOS AT PRIDE

Hold and attend de-escalation, conflict resolution, first-aid, volunteer medic, and self-defense workshops in your neighborhood, school, workplace, or community organization.

I am begging writers & writing-related-workers of all kinds—but especially people working in journalism and blogs—to stop using “AI art” to accompany your writing.

Please have solidarity with your fellow creative workers 💜

I've been thinking a lot about that idea of "community is something you establish, not something you end up in" and how a lot of eg. queer discourse revolves around "the queer community" when it should probably revolve around solidarity between *different* queer communities instead

@joepie91 @eniko I feel this is a continuation of the software mindset that we are somehow special and not subject to being treated like any other workers under capitalism.

@eniko Yup. Work is zealously forcing this down our throats, and I put my disgust aside long enough to give it an honest evaluation, because it's my job and because I wanted to have an informed opinion to push back.

It sucks, it's garbage, I don't want it, and it's already polluting our code base. I just had my first experience of deleting slop, a completely useless unit test. I called the person who committed it, and they admitted that Copilot wrote it and they didn't understand what it did.

AI is dogshit. And the more contact people have with AI, the more they'll realize it's dogshit and turn against it as tacky. The only reason anyone's doing any of it is because billionaires and multinationals are telling them "AI is the future!" and cramming it into everything

Even with all this they still can't get *most* people to give it more than a passing glance. Because people can instinctively recognize that it's dogshit, that it's useless insipid vapid bullshit with no intrinsic value

I say this because

1. I know some people do look up to me in that way

And

2. It is imo very important to create a culture of shame around the use of AI

If you're a coder and you look up to me in any way as a programmer, please know that I cannot respect and in fact have a very poor opinion of people who voluntarily use any kind of cloud based LLM for coding with any kind of regularity

A short comic about a witch writing down a spell to summon demons, but due to dropping some soup on her spellbook, it makes the spell summon demons that are smooching.

Some kids rediscover the spellbook and keep accidentally summoning two queer demons in the middle of a makeout session. For some reason, it's always the same couple.

The queer demon couple just work in a Hell soup kitchen.

@elilla yeah, I sit here and ponder all this stuff nearly every day lately, how little I can focus, but without changing something tactile my hands just go ctrl t social.p return again.

it is so tiring to deal with this package deal of 'fascinating discussion' and 'no attention span'

@loren Like.. many years ago someone on tw said that if you are looking for things that'll make you smile, think about what you liked when you were 9. I was like, birds. I liked birds. It was absolutely correct, birds make me smile and is also one of my main preoccupations now, again :D

What im trying to say is we should stop looking at sexuality as this static thing, and while it's true you are what you say you are, you should be open to new experiences changing your sexuality etc

Show thread

I totally agree with the concept that you're still sexuality X even if you've never had experience with (some of) the gender(s) you're attracted to

My personal experience tho, lol
I thought I was bi, then had a few experiences with men/masculine genders and realised I'm not actually attracted to them lol
