I love that the guy that threw his shoes at bush is into this

sometimes part of being an ally is knowing when to shut the fuck up !!!!

Be a human being. Write badly. Draw badly. Make a mess. Make mistakes. Research. Think. Read. But do the work yourself. Be original. Be odd. Better yourself each time. Grow as a person, as a writer, as an artist, as a musician, at the pace you grow at. Do not sacrifice that to AI.

late night walks in Yeongjongdo pixelfed.social/p/Lully-Jo/8...

this is so bad, all’s he said to me today was “see you tomorrow” and im IENFOSMDOENFIENIFNF losing my MIND someone please sedate me

Happy Autumn 🍂

I cannot tell you how grim the AI in higher ed situation is. Many of the students have completely surrendered to letting AI do their homework, badly, I might add. How do you fix this? Truly, what the hell do we do, beyond what grading can address, which isn't a solution?

Anyways ya girl looked hella good today

I’ve developed a crush on the 3rd year head teacher and I wanna die abt it

Gorillaz say FREE PALESTINE

please do not use these tools. please do not do this to people.

Anyone organizing a protest asking you to “sign up” simply cares about the wrong thing and doesn’t know wtf they’re doing AND does not care about your safety.

This is harmful on a whole other level. Not acceptable Michigan, not here, not now, not ever.

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

I want to repay this man’s kindness but it’s been difficult cuz my Korean isn’t amazing and his English isn’t either. Also I’m shy and awkward and don’t know how to express that I want to return the favor 😭

For the past week there’s been this gentleman at the coffee shop I visit who has bought me a coffee. I do not know him, he doesn’t ask me for anything, just buys me a coffee. Today I tried to buy his coffee and he snatched my card from my hand and bought mine again.

I think it’s crazy that we’re at a point where simply recognizing irony is being equated to political violence

Three high schoolers, who likely didn't make a career out of enabling and encouraging fascism, were shot in Colorado today.

Can you imagine your child being shot in school, and having the worst day of your life *overshadowed* by a different shooting, whose aftermath somehow will be leveraged to make it more likely more shootings will occur in the future?

That man's last words were trying to deflect a conversation about gun violence onto "gang violence". He left this world on the wings of racism.

The stuff Jeffrey Epstein’s friends felt comfortable saying and drawing in grotesque detail with their names attached knowing they would not face consequences is the kind of thing I think of when I think about rape culture and how sexual violence against girls and young women is actually glorified

Every time you see an inaccurate post mentioning how Silksong, Clair Obscur, etc was made by like 12 people in their basement with no internet remember that some C-Suite exec is going to point at that when signing new games, cutting studios and teams, and dismantling foundational pillars

"Bluesky is boring." Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually. When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

this discourse is so fraught and tricky but i really really want people to start looking harder at the industries that allow rich and powerful people to buy children and think about why you might be incentivized to find all of that beautiful and noble and good.

another thing cindy bi described her second surrogacy experience as near perfect--that woman almost died and had to have an emergency hysterectomy.

a lot to point out in this article--how surrogacy is a $5B industry, how only NY requires agencies to be licensed, how surrogacy is >3x riskier, how buyers do not have to disclose their medical history--but my main q is how someone like cindy bi was allowed to enter into this process at all.

Oh HELL yes

I swear to god there does not exist an app which isn’t tainted by men’s inability to coexist with women…

Hello, gray couch, my old friend I've come to rest on you again 🎶 After two conventions and a multitude of interviews, that's another gamescom and PAX West wrapped 💪

i wish more people Understood the definition of "not safe for work" is "if my boss looked over my shoulder and saw me looking at this i might get fired" which means you really should tag any suggestive material as nsfw. It doesnt need to explicitly have sex or nudity in it to be nsfw.

enshittification | noun | when a digital platform is made worse for users, in order to increase profits

I actually had to explain to someone recently that the AI that tells enemies in video games how to react to player inputs is NOT genAI and has existed for literal decades. they genuinely had no idea there was a difference. this shit has poisoned the well so bad.

I will keep reposting when these studies come out because the GPT fuckers haven't seen dementia up close like I have and I need you to fucking understand You need to give a shit. Your apathy NOW will rob you of everything later.

Being trans is so old it was spelled with ſ

Putting alt text on this one since it crossed my skyline without it. But at my old job I coined "challenge resilience" to describe this same phenomenon. You have to build up the grit in you to take the setbacks, and the wisdom to know when to take breaks. (1/4)

What some folks are missing about this is that it’s not that Twitter is going to make every leftist into a Nazi. It’s that it makes you believe that the worst ppl in the world are everywhere. It brings out the darkest parts of your personality, your most nihilistic view of the world.

When I see people on here unknowingly join moral panics around child safety and technology, I think about how the future of this very platform hangs in the balance of this legislation that is designed to force us back onto big tech platforms. It’s not about the kids. It’s about all of us

this whole “we need a slur for robots” and then modifying ACTUAL slurs into phrases like “wireback” and “bolt picker” needs to stop immediately. What is with white people and needing to invent or use slurs as “protest”? I guess when you’re white you’re white.

re: generative AI I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used. And now, you can use it, too.

That negative self-talk really is doing a lot more damage to you than you think it is and idk maybe you shouldn't add yourself to your list of abusers, just sayin.

Otakon 2025! Im at table H300 in the Artist Alley, so if you're here, stop by and say hi! :D #bskyart #artistalley #otakon

I genuinely don't know what it is about it, but putting lotion on directly out of the shower (still wet, not dried off) is the best way to moisturize! My skin has never felt so soft. I couldn't tell you why, but it just works.

Considering Instagram just made it so strangers can find your exact location on the heels of YouTube announcing it will require ID starting Aug. 13th, I feel pretty justified in my decision to have left that platform a year or so ago.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Really loving Pixelfed as an alternative to instagram that feels more like what instagram used to be before it tried to compete with tiktok. It's nice to have one place without the dopamine slot machine to mess up my attention span. Now I just need more of my friends there. pixelfed.social/Lully-Jo

I've never been sad to leave a job before, this is such a strange new feeling. And proof that working doesn't have to be a miserable experience.

on my hands and knees begging streamer friends not to implement generative AI-powered gimmicks in their streams. it is not a victimless crime and you are contributing to environmental and social harms (links provided in replies). not to mention that these models are trained on stolen art & writing.
