Millennials, the generation where at least once every decade your entire life some rich asshole kneecaps the economy causing you to miss life milestones your parents' generation took for granted

I wish more of semiotics escaped academics for common discourse even if it were frustratingly simplified because there's a lot of useful language there to navigate thoughts and strengthen arguments and against AI generated images.

it's easier to describe AI as "soulless" theft, but you can also say most of its meaning is amalgamated with no intent. it lacks the components that would let you read the human behind the brush or lens and at best only offers immitation that is both confusing and unsatisfying

in basic semiotic terms I would say the iconography is synthetic, the symbols are incidental (there is no gradient of interesting intended/unintended meaning that a human could produce, it's all unintended), and the indexical qualities are a lie (no human brush or perspective made it)

which sounds pretentious, but it's a very useful way to process how I perceive it. it's not just about language, it doesn't just help explain how you see art as communicative, it necessitates the human element of art to derive *anything* from what we see in creation.

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself. One day, the meaning of labels will disappear. Please love yourself as you are. The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself. Because that is your strength and beauty. Chiitan loves you

🌈Happy National Coming Out Day! 🌈 Be loud and proud of who you are! We are here, we exist ❤️

BUT HEY! THAT'S JUST A Segway to remind you that the FNAF creator/this movie's screenwriter, Scott Cawthon, donates the money he makes from FNAF stuff to far right politicians, many of whom are currently trying to make things worse for everyone, specifically trans people. Don't support this film.

Young furries, do not buy this repulsive slop Support actual furry artists if you want silly furry merch, they're out there and they're happy to oblige, and you won't be feeding a machine looking to capitalize on your subculture Corporate shitposting needed to be smothered in the crib, istg

Long before hashtags and headlines, we were here—loving, living, resisting, and creating. LGBTQ+ people have always existed, woven into every culture, every era, every story worth telling. Our existence isn’t new. What’s new is the world finally learning to listen. #LGBTQ+

This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again. Literally the least you can do!!

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

people today always on they egg never lookin up never in the moment

lizard! #b3d

Weird how these same people previously didn't care about global warming, but the moment they found a connection to lifesaving medicine they're like "we have to convince the public that this is a bad thing, actually."

Be safe, and don't you dare go hollow.

This would single-handedly transform the lives of everyone I know in such profound ways it is difficult to fully articulate, but it would also let us actually make more and different and crazy things

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting. Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_...

I really like Birdo's Pro-Racer outfit💖 #Birdo #MarioKartWorld #SuperMario #Nintendo

Bring AJ Link back. Banning Link is racist and petulant. I will never be the smartest person in the room on ATproto, but I know mean-spirited retaliation. This is mean-spirited retaliation

I really need you guys to internalize this. Government and corporations ripped Kimmel off the air for lightly badmouthing their behavior. Coordinated pushback by us is what forced them to cave in and put Kimmel back on air. Again. The fascists caved in *due to coordinated pushback.*

Ok, I gotta peel back the mask for a moment so bear with me As someone who has Autism herself, this shit isn’t some fucking disease to try and treat, and it’s not caused by freaking medicines. I cannot stand people like the fuckwit, asslord president saying as such. Fuck off.
