Impulse: I told myself I was going to…get Gem to teach me about Tumblr! Guess what I didn’t do? I was gonna have a—I was gonna have a sit down, hands on lesson from Gem…about how to use Tumblr. It was gonna be—a fun little—boomer moment. (Snickers) Y’all are saying no Tumblr. Man, according to—according to some of the Hermits, Tumblr has been a much chill—more chill place than uh, than Reddit. Oh no, you guys just don’t want us on Tumblr, because it’s your—it’s your secret place. That’s why. You don’t want us checking out your Tumblrs, that’s—that’s where you—(laughter)—I see. I see. (Quoting chat) “Scatter.”

Please reblog for greater sample size <3

You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).

Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.

Happy tired and a little on edge Tuesday

I swear I get sad if I wake up and one is on the floor

There are currently ~2300 works in AO3 tagged with "Created Using Generative AI"

I'll be upfront with my opinion, which mirrors my opinion in regards to my field: using AI will only hasten your own obsolescence. The point of fanfiction is not to crank out fics, but rather to enjoy the hobby and communities of writing and fandom.

I remember when someone on a discord server called archaeology my “special interest” and I didn’t know how to explain, rookie mistake! It’s actually a Master’s degree

If you dare come at me about banning straws, I will throw you into the sun cannon. I’m disabled, I’m crippled, I need disposable plastic straws, and all those pricey ridiculous alternatives aren’t working as well. Plastic straws were invented for the disabled.

Way to shit all over a vital access need because you think straws are worse than corporate greed.

We all care about the turtles, the seals, the oceans, obviously. Notice how the easiest thing to yell about was something that would barely affect anything but appealed heavily to emotional discourse.

The disabled community is huge, and it can be joined by anyone. Most of those As Seen On TV products were invented for us. Society still mocks us and ignores us, and often outright harms us in multiple ways.

Communicate better. Listen better. But stop putting us out in the cold because you are inconvenienced by our simplest needs.

i really like looking at google image searches for “firemen rescuing cats” or something because you get super cute pictures like
