We need to start dragging Sam Altman out into the streets and beat him into a pulp

I can't even joke about the machine-generated erotica man. During a time when HUMAN writers get called freaks, sinners and degenerates for writing sex and sensuality....when a fucking machine drains the land of its resources to write slop suddenly that's okay and acceptable?

I do so enjoy that whenever I begin my progesterone cycle anew the cramps start coming in almost as soon as I started. Can you stop cramping for a little bit I have he/him in my bio

I’ve been working for 15 years as an animator and I can tell you without a doubt, the best fix I ever found for imposter syndrome is living a full life where your days and worth don’t hinge on whether or not you were a good animator today.

In Manten Kucing (Cat Wedding), a rainmaking ritual from Pelem, East Java, two cats are carried in a wedding procession to Coban Kromo waterfall. Based on the tale of wise woman Eyang Sangkrah, who bathed in a sacred spring with two auspicious candramawa cats, and rain fell afterward. #WyrdWednesday

A photograph of a couple in traditional Javanese outfits, and another person wearing purple top with batik sarong sitting on the floor. The standing and the sitting men hold two cats that will be included in the ceremony.

A photograph of a rainmaking ritual called Manten Kucing in Pelem Village. A man and a woman in traditional Javanese outfits walk while carrying cats in each of their arms. Several villages walk behind them. A woman with orange dress carries a large umbrella to shade the couple and the cats.

A photo of people conducting Manten Kucing. Two Javanese women, one in black hijab and blouse and the other in traditional kebaya top and red sash, carried an orange cat and a white tabby to a pond near a waterfall. A local witchdoctor caressed the cat's head. In the back are several people photographing the moment with phones.

—i've never felt anything like the cold of these empty spaces

#gposers | #ryuhiko

A companion piece to a picture posted yesterday: Ryuhiko stands before a place of divinity, imbued with the light of the living while clutching a relic of some kind; it glows in his hand, and his mother is perched upon the opposite in the form of the bluebird as though guiding him. Her face is barely readable, but her mouth is open as though screaming and crying in discontent.
Both pictures were inspired by a line spoken by Ryuhiko's husband, that he cannot spend the rest of his life apologizing to his mother. And yet, he may.

Maybe Japanese style curry is easier but I like Malaysian/Singaporean-style curry a lot more

[ shadow walk with me ] @coerthantorment.bsky.social · 7h

I say chicken & beef curry is easy because you can chop potatoes, veggies and meats well in advance, you might want to saute aromatics & the curry paste for a few minutes, toss everything in and pour water, and that's literally it

Super low effort: sambal garing + furikake + freshly cooked rice, instant ramen with fish cakes/fish balls/imitation crab

"prepping this is laughably easy and once they're all in the pot you can just let it sit for a bit until done": chicken/beef curry, "throw everything in" vegetable soup

Context: the place where I volunteered as a rudimentary social media manager switched all free classes to paid earlier this month and some of these classes have attendances dropping to almost zero, and I'm trying to convince my boss to change these classes back to free

In short I'm trying to convince my boss this was a bad decision and she should have just charged for the more private classes like she used to

[ shadow walk with me ] @coerthantorment.bsky.social · 9h

Okay, in this case the classes are like supplementary classes that add to what you already know. I'm trying to see this from a customer perspective because rn we're having a hard time retaining previous student numbers ever since we switch to a paid model for classes

It's a bunch of free Quran & hadith classes running every week - I'm not the one attending them but I'm the one who has to make sure the class zoom meetings are running normally. Ever since my current job changed the classes to paid we saw student numbers dropping really bad
