Hey just so you know

If you steal artists' work for your shitty little stealing machine 5000 to generate ""art"" you are not my friend, you are not welcome on my blog, and! You can go fuck yourself.

Do not steal my or any other fandom artist's work.

Okay but wrestling, like kink, carries a huge irresponsible risk of permanent injury to the body.

the thing about supporting bodily autonomy is that it includes allowing people to do things to their body that you really don't like

Neil, if it isn’t too much trouble, I’ve got a question.

(Yeah ik that’s what the asks is for but I don’t know how to navigate tumblr yet)

So I’m sitting in the living room with my parents and my mom was talking to my dad about AI writing scripts. So I said something about the strikes. Then, she was talking about her “blind items”, (she reads the shi non-stop) and how it said that there is some sort of loophole in the contract that makes it so they can still use AI and not hire writers. I haven’t been as caught up with that stuff as I’ve wanted to be, so I didn’t really have a response for that. Since I know you’re very involved in this topic, I somewhat trust your word over my mother’s.

Perhaps your mother read ome AI generated news? It's not true.

From Wired:

In short, the contract stipulates that AI can’t be used to write or rewrite any scripts or treatments, ensures that studios will disclose if any material given to writers is AI-generated, and protects writers from having their scripts used to train AI without their say-so. Provisions in the contract also stipulate that script scribes can use AI for themselves. At a time when people in many professions fear that generative AI is coming for their jobs, the WGA’s new contract has the potential to be precedent-setting, not just in Hollywood, where the actors’ strike continues, but in industries across the US and the world.

Chaos sketching wisp kids.

This is for a supernatural short story called Blue Flame.

It will be included in a collection called Coffee and Summoning Circles being released this fall.

“Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all - And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm - That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm - I’ve heard it in the chillest land - And on the strangest Sea - Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me.

-Emily Dickinson

Happy Pride :)

look at me. listen to me. bigots and queerphobes don’t know the distinction between a trans person, a gnc cis gay person, and a cisgender heterosexual crossdresser. all of these people are just queer degenerates to them. that is why their anti-drag bills are written so vaguely as to encompass any possible mundane gender nonconformity - so they can target as many of us as possible in one ruling. and that’s why you need to stop trying to put lines between these groups in regards to ‘who’s more oppressed’ and ‘who has the right to talk about gender’ - gender nonconformity and transgenderism are punished in exactly the same way. cut one of us and the other bleeds. our fight is the same.

Beans.

My partner and I have a running joke with a friend. Every time he goes on holiday we increase the quantity of beans in his flat.

The first time we bought ~30 cans of kidney beans and hid them around the house like some Easter egg hunt thing but with beans.

The Second time we bought ~6kg dried white beans and hid those in various places. Nearly every receptacle that could safely hold beans became the home of beans. My personal favourite was emptying an oat milk carton, very carefully washing and drying it, filling it with beans and then just putting it back among several other cartons.

He went on holiday again a couple of weeks ago. Obviously there is an expectation of bean-based shenanigans. And obviously we have to beat our previous efforts.

Our friend has (had) a mosaic on his wall of the famous Marilyn Monroe Pop-Art by Andy Warhol. He made the mosaic himself. Over the last couple of weeks we have spent hours and hours assembling a frame, drawing up a pattern and gridding out a 70 x 70 frame and gluing an untold amount of beans to it. I have spent over 21 hours gluing beans to a frames.

For the last couple of days I ended up going to bed at 5:00 am because I lost track of time whilst experimenting with which types of glue works best with different beans (I now have *opinions* on this, y’all). The day of our friend’s return we spent the morning and afternoon grouting the piece and wiping it down and wiping it down again and wiping it down again because grout is just like that. In the evening we went to install the mosaic, just a few hours before his return. Here’s a comparison between the original and our clearly superior replication, and the new piece installed in its rightful place.
