extremely funny when AI artists feel the need to put watermarks on their images
like oh you’re worried about misattribution and image theft huh. you’re worried that someone’s gonna take the image you made and claim it as their own. or strip away the context and your name. or use it in ways you didn’t consent to. boy that sure would suck huh. i bet that would feel really bad. i bet that would be really annoying. i b
I think Americans in general should maybe start taking xenophobia more seriously. Because with the. Everything going on in the world right now. It’s gotten really really bad. And while lefties might not be reactionary to the same extent as republicans it’s still very much prevalent. I went to dinner with my family recently and the stuff they said about my cousin’s family who emigrated from Russia made me feel like I was losing my mind. He’s 2 years old. How are you going to discriminate against a baby with a clear conscience. Then you read the news and it’s like “China is spying on you with TikTok and weather balloons” and you hear people on all angles of the political compass repeat it. Are you hearing yourself right now. Are you for real
Cannot believe I have to say this but I am Lakota. as in native american. As in almost everyone’s family came to the united states from another country at one point, except for the people who were already living here. Like my mom’s family. And I live here.
Immediately assuming I must be a white european because I disagree with widespread american xenophobia is prelly wild. Honestly. When I mentioned my family and America in the same post I thought it was clear that I live here.
“But you said you had family from Russia?”
Yes. People get married sometimes. My cousin married someone from Russia. They had a baby. He’s a good baby btw. Fantastic little dude. I hope he grows up in a better world than this one.
I can’t speak for people living in other countries because I don’t live there. I live here. I don’t think it’s my place to berate people from other countries because that’s kind of the problem. Maybe I should have started this post out like a presidential speech. My fellow Americans. Now more than ever.
Reading comprehension test:
Where is OP from? What country?
2. What does “xenophobia” mean?
3. Is possible to care about other people? if yes, then:
how do conservatives think talking to children works? if a four year old came up to me and said “i’m a cat!!” i would say “really? what makes you a cat?” and they’d say some shit like “i have claws >:)” and i’d be like “oh wow, you do have claws. but wait, i thought cats had pointed ears!” and they’d say “they DO!!!” and then i’d pull up a picture of an elf and ask “is THIS a cat?” and they’d yell “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”
u wouldn’t say “fucking hell, Emily, get it together. this is the real world”
I think the discourse would mature a lot if we all understood that an obsessive hatred of sex is still an obsession with sex
when studying medieval and early modern moral panic, this comes up A Lot. like, the shit monks wrote extensive, specific screeds against were Way More Weird than just…what your average sex-haver was actually doing.
“DNI: freaks” do you realize how conservative you look
freaks please interact
this is the first time one of my posts has been tagged like this and out of all of them i think id be glad if this one got 100k. because firstly i need to find my fellow freaks but also we need to shame people who are anti-freak because like. why do you hate to live deliciously
I’m so about chosen names that I have had a guy living with us for like three months and didn’t learn his “real” name until a package arrived and I was like “WHO THE FUCK IS JOSEPH? I DON’T KNOW ANY JOSEPHS”
oh, you mean VK? weird. why are you calling him by his birth name, what are you, a cop? his mom? his mom, who is a cop?
One thing I hate about the prevalence of TikTok is how every fucking video has to have some goddamn song over it because it’s trending or something and because of that not only is it just some Completely Fucking Unrelated Song but it’s the SAME song over and over and over can we as bitches on gods green earth not enjoy some damn silent or simply contextual audio from time to time
you can like dont use tiktok and live under the rock (i have a blanket under mine its comfy)
No no see I’ve never used TikTok in my life, it’s just seeped into every facet of internet video and I hate it
Just saw a tweet like “REAL libraries check for quality!” as some kinda gotcha at AO3?? But I’m a librarian, so… heads up that “quality checks,” AKA “weeding” or “pulling,” means looking for damaged books or ones that haven’t circulated in a few years to clear up shelf space. We don’t Quality Check for if the library books have nontoxic romance or good grammar. :U I assure you every library in your area has absolute ABOMINATIONS of bad storytelling as well as your favorite pop lit.
