what r three cluniies pokemon

Lots of people cant explore dressing alt or shitty as kids bc of their parents so like give it a rest

hot take but I don't like making fun of "new trans girl" outfits. clothes should be fun. so what if that girl wants to dress like Ramona Flowers. it's a rad as hell look. so what if she wants to dress like a catgirl in fishnets. the world needs more of that.

I don't think Americans really understand how bad literacy has gotten when teachers say students don't even know words like unfathomable or pearlescent, or inexplicable everyone I know that's not a native speaker know and use stuff like that all the time, how can a native college level not know

As someone with a blood cancer it’s very important to me that information like this is delivered to the reader in a sincere way, AI will never not be insincere. Kids deserve accurate information about their bodies and actual effort put into their wellbeing.

I'll say what Bluesky fails to address in v1.122 They've rolled out a new "adult content" tag applied on an entire account, hiding all their posts from users, including text posts, even if they may be SFW This update, while well-intentioned, defeats the whole purpose of the content filters system

I genuinely feel sick. A company reached out to me on IG, linking me to an AI version of myself. You can even ask "me" questions. They are also advertising it using an AI photo of me. They told me if I like it, they will give me free access... to my own fucking content that they stole. /1

“The result is a horror show for US science research. Not only is peer review made a secondary consideration, but the new rules would allow any federal agency to cancel any grant at any time based on the vague assertion that it isn’t in the “national interest.” 1/2 🧪 arstechnica.com/science/2026...

Never odd or even

📚 Librarians (especially those involved in professional orgs): this also covers IMLS, and includes an explicit ban on using federal grants to attend conferences except where specifically approved.

ontologically this thing

capitalism is so good at innovation it invented brand new ways of destroying nature

the thing i find weirdest about gutierrez's deal is that he has a whole portfolio informed by tijuana bibles and unauthorized reproduction and seemingly none of the class dimensions of that occurred to him or informed his decision

🔔 WNDB is now accepting applications for 2027 Mentors! WNDB is currently seeking traditionally published authors and illustrators from diverse backgrounds to serve as mentors for 2027!

My new position is that artists who are loud about genAI art theft ought to care just as loudly about data labeling/moderation labor outsourced to countries w/ vulnerable populations GenAI literally could not function or have been built without the hidden work of armies of gig workers paid cents

Eternally relevant:

"let people enjoy things" is over. we must want things to be good

i hate being the skeptic in the room but so many autism advocates are really for spelling to communicate and with the history of FC i really am concerned that nonspeaking people not presumed competent in their life are stringing together adult sentences on their own without the bias of the helper.

yikes :(

Hey creatives: Folks will remember. If you were aggressively against AI, like Gutierrez was as recent as last year, and then suddenly turn around and go NO I GET IT NOW IT'S AMAZING as soon as you get a project with a big payday? Your peers will not forget that. You will never be trusted again.

ANNOUNCEMENT: The workers of Dark Horse Comics @darkhorse.com are forming a union. Please read our mission statement below. 👇 #DHWU

When people ask for shipping supplies recommendations I do not hesitate to link refuseuline.com Quite literally I just reference this, there are so many options that are better and not evil.

Since the lede is a bit buried: @wikipedia.org appears to be engaging in union busting

Instead of vaguing or getting into arguments with a guy you made up on socmed everyone needs to have a friend circle where you can say the beloved words of "Can I be a little mean for a sec" and then vent your frustrations before going back to peace and love

In exciting news, a bunch of my yuri vns have been banned in Russia on Steam b/c the Russian government hates gay people, & Steam sent me this lovely message telling me this is my fault & I should have done my due diligence by pre-emptively complying with homophobic laws 🙏

You’ve made the strongest angry…

slime feet NOW banned in russia feat. steam scolding me for how its MY responsibility to predict the future. PLAY NOW

Why do trees have such a deep cedared hate for this poor guy? Trees Hate You is a tree am-bush indie game where all the trees are out to get you! Demo out now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4171850/... Gameplay Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfhM... by indie dev @tykenn.games #gaming

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

Tgirls: Don't forget your spiro is a diuretic. It is so easy to get heatstroke during transition. Drink water and eat!

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

Conversely "talent" will get you only so far. One, talent is spread more widely than people who fancy themselves geniuses might presume. Two, no matter how talented you are, you're probably neither a Prince nor a Picasso, and someone else pretty talented who's not a dick can do nearly all you do.

Hello everyone, I just made this starter pack for game devs who refuse to use generative AI. In any capacity at all, including for ideas or placeholders or code or inspiration or whatever excuses people have. No AI use, period. Let me know if you want added. go.bsky.app/6DRdowf

Everything is too much all the time. Places are too place. Noises are too noise. Bills are too much, food somehow isnt enough food. There is nothing that exists that isnt being made worse by capitalism and Ai.

Hammam's character is evident in how he does charitable medical and care work with little money or food to his name. He serves people in the strip as a nurse for nothing- he is a trained wound care/triage expert. And he is a caregiver for a HSN autistic person and family in the middle of a crisis.

Second is Rawan, who is trying to get $500 done so she can get some clothing for her sisters, Rafif and Rahaf. Rawan sent me some adorable pics. This cute dress is not representative of this child's norm- they are normally bitten by fleas and living in a tent in poverty. chuffed.org/project/1486...

Tomorrow is Eid al Adha, and my friends have some requests for everyone. First up is Farah, who is trying to toilet train her kids and protect her family against fleas in the camp. She's raised $130 so far, but she needs 300$. Anything over will go to the holiday. chuffed.org/project/1651...

Utterly deranged.

before today, there were very, very few people, if anyone, that people would rank as the greatest living jazz musician higher than Sonny Rollins. there will never be another one quite like him. RIP and thank you so much.

i love being a silly poster now. being late 20s andmusing changes a persons brain i have found... im really the been getting into yogurt lately person but with VNs anime and games. im still very type A but am dating and trying to surround myself with type B outside of school.

lapsed catholics invoking our technical catholicism once every 10 years moment here it is

Converting to Catholicism so I can tell my bosses using unregulated AI is against my religion and I will sue them like that cake lady who hated gay people if they make me use it
