Caves are weirder and more varied than you think

The internet is flooded with AI-generated photos and they're getting harder to spot.

Most of the time AI is used for click-farming, but lately images have been used in fake news stories and product scams.

Most important: THINK CRITICALLY. AI will eventually get too good to make obvious mistakes. Being media literate means checking not just if an image is real, but if the source is trustworthy.

If you're not sure, don't share! You might be spreading misinformation.

Advice I gave someone today was: 'do it stupid.'

She wants to learn photography. Do it stupid. Take a million photos. Don't think about why they're not good. Enjoy the process of taking photos.

Pick out tge ones you like the most and figure out why you like them. Is it because the subject is centered? Is it because you caught them doing something cool? Is it because the light made cool shadows?

Do it stupid. If you try to do it smart, youll get stuck. If you think too much you'll never get to doing. Do it stupid.

my main advice for people who want to make things but feel like they can't because it won't be good enough or it won't be realized enough or it won't be "enough" period is to just make what you can. don't want to commit to writing a full 100k fic for the idea you've daydreamed about for 6 months and are very attached to? make text posts informally infodumping about it. don't want to spend 100s of hours scripting, drawing, coloring, and lettering a comic but still want to see the character designs you have in your mind? draw them out of context! you don't need to make something finished to make something worthwhile.

if you're transgender you have to live.

"I would kill for you. I would die for you" would you take a break for me? Would you sit down and rest? For a day, a week, a year? Would you let others take care of your needs for me? Would you let yourself be held for me? By me?

People who jokeflirt are always people not attracted to you and it's NOT lit. I have 12 bitemarks on my right arm and I know none of them mean anything to him

Do y'all ever think about how cool it is that art inspires other art inspires other art inspires other art in an endless cycle

no but fr we’ve all done and said problematic things. y'all need to stop believing everything you see on the internet- not only are people prone to misspeaking, they’re prone to being misinterpreted, misconstrued, taken out of context-

and it’s very important to me that everyone understands that the same can be done to them.

you do Not want to know what could/would happen if a bad actor got their hands on all the DMs you’ve ever sent, or even all the things you’ve ever posted publicly. But you’re helping perpetuate that very nightmare whenever you endorse or spread callout posts

it is very easy to manipulate events and screenshots such that they tell a very narrow narrative, and it’s easy to do this in a way that guarantees an emotional response in order to make any reader angry. it is very easy to manufacture outrage and anger. it is very difficult to repair a reputation or heal from this kind of breach of trust and common decency

who are you helping? when you call for someone to be ousted from their community, who are you helping? when you ask for someone to be punished for years-old words, who are you helping?

and where would you be if the same magnifying glass was pointed in your direction?
