old ladies at a village café sat next to me showing off their AI-generated portraits to each other…we’re so fucked

for @conversationalist.org wrote about something that i cry about regularly: littering conversationalist.org/2025/11/18/s...

"There is a certain type of person who sees a hole and perceives it to be a trash can, where others have seen the potential for a garden." The latest by @marianneeloise.bsky.social on littering and the cost of convenience culture.

In deepest Cornwall, a coven of witches is steadily growing in power — using spells, potions and... WhatsApp. @marianneeloise.bsky.social reports:

"Flowers, like seasons and people, are temporary... Which is why I found a way to immortalize them, to avoid that loss, with tiny needles and pots of color." How botanical tattoos helped @marianneeloise.bsky.social immortalize what is impermanent 🪴

guess not!

"I went to Dungeness because I love that space and silence that some people call desolation." @marianneeloise.bsky.social reports on the gentrification of 'England's only desert':

AI probably should have been banned when the first person took their own life because of it

Media outlets can't pivot to AI to save themselves. It's not a business strategy and it's not going to work. The only path forward is for journalists to lean into their humanity, to do things AI can't, and to make clear they are writing for people, not algorithms: www.404media.co/the-medias-p...

A certain fitness writer has brain-poisoned women of my generation into thinking they need 1g protein per lb of bodyweight to gain muscle, they can't be fully plant-based, etc. It's all horseshit (as a muscular girlie, I would know!). So I decided to write about protein science🏋️‍♀️

big push against vegan leather atm. seen some people arguing that vegans should be fine with it because it’s a byproduct of the meat industry. how fucking stupid are you

god i can’t stop thinking about this. it’s just pure fucking evil

unfortunately as a vegan i can’t do the “propaganda i’m not falling for” trend without being annoying

had a gorgeous time with my gorgeous family last week 🌿🍄🧚🏻🌊🌴🌸🌱

now why has no one commissioned me on this yet

i think the real reason professors won’t just revert to paper essays is bc students just wouldn’t go to college anymore and college is a business

Generative AI is a remarkable con — a just-good-enough simulacrum of human expression to get it past the gatekeepers in finance and the media, knowing that neither will apply a second gear of critical thinking beyond "huh guess we're doing AI now." It's a disgrace. www.wheresyoured.at/reality-check/

Whenever I post about AI, without fail, someone ALWAYS defends it as a tool of convenience or short-term efficiency. You would think the past several decades would have taught people the lesson that short-term convenience doesn’t outweigh long-term consequences, but the lesson continues unlearned

the amount of litter and plastic waste dropped during marathons lol it’s so nasty we’re still finding energy gels in brighton and hove

lol

Last week, I watched the popular regenerative ag film Kiss the Ground, and the new follow-up documentary Common Ground. The films' claims -- esp. around climate -- are even more hyperbolic than I knew: www.vox.com/future-perfe...

“Flowers, like seasons and people, are temporary." How botanical tattoos help @marianneeloise.bsky.social immortalize what is impermanent 🌏:

“To some, a woman sat in a wheelchair snogging her boyfriend is akin to seeing a fish on land. It just ain’t natural.”  I wrote for Elle on attitudes to disability and sex (with some snippets from Who Wants Normal?) www.elle.com/uk/life-and-...

disabled people deserve full lives and rights and support even if they will never “contribute” to society btw. obviously

love talking to vegans. two smart empathetic bitches telling each other “exactlyyy”

we need to make people who use AI feel stupid because they are. maybe then we’ll get somewhere

Apparently the Trump administration doesn't want to know anything about the weather anymore www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/c...

Many people imagine that "de-extincting" animals risks a Jurassic Park-style meltdown that puts humans in danger, but the real threat is the other way around: It’s the harm we do to the animals www.vox.com/future-perfe...

i wrote a blog on three years of oimt. thanks for reading 🌸🐍 marianneeloise.substack.com/p/ive-never-...

grateful to aiyana for being so brave and sharing her story against a tidal wave of cruel brand new fans: aiyanaa.medium.com/a-call-for-a...

i find it so easy to not listen to brand new or buy brand new tickets because i have actually listened to the lyrics of brand new

question for people who hate paywalls: were you a prolific shoplifter of magazines and newspapers or?

happy autism day we have some of the lowest employment rates and highest suicide rates of basically any groups of people. there are so many ways you could be better to us especially if you are in a position of power! learn more, try harder, be kinder

"Autistic people experience everything in our bodies to an extreme extent—every sound, every smell, every touch. We often get sensory overload, which can lead to meltdowns and burnout." On World Autism Day, we look back on this story by @marianneeloise.bsky.social on grief and autism.

even if AI were good for the environment (it’s not) even if it weren’t plagiarism (it is) even if it were accurate (it’s not) even if the ‘art’ didn’t look like slop (it does) it still sucks so much and you should be so so so deeply embarrassed if it has any application in your life

@maris.bsky.social on Meta’s AI and how one of the richest companies in the world is stealing from the rest of us.

when someone says “i asked chatgbt” i know they are so beyond help there is no humane solution for them

the thing is if you use chat gpt or any gen AI for anything at all most people who can think for themselves will just assume you’re not that bright. if you can live with that then whatever go nuts i guess

it’s the most wonderful time of the year (ALCS)
