first one! they’re both beautiful and look great on you, but the soft, floofiness (technical term) of the first one accentuates the curve of your figure in such a lovely way

answer is almost always fascism but i do like slightly more detail than that 😂 it’s the curious, always-questioning author part of me

being an Australian on the internet is waking up to see numerous people posting about the surge in frog costume sales and wondering how many hours of backscrolling it will take to find the source

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

Meet my newest creation Edith the Moth Phantom! I designed and hand-sewed her. She enjoys singing sea shanties with her cryptid band. They perform primarily for the moon. She also likes appearing to travelers as good or bad omens, depending on her mood.

Here's a lovely photo of my fabric art moth phantom. She's a white moth phantom with a gray face, large twinkly black eyes, and a little frown. She has curly white antennae. There are black and gray oval markings on her wings. There's a beautiful galaxy print fabric in the background.

Here's another lovely pic of Edith. In this one, she's resting on my palm.

I struggled for weeks on third-year essay, rage-quit at 2am, changed my topic entirely, read Wild Swans and wrote an essay on it in two days. Got the highest mark of my whole degree.

And then I knew I could do that. You learn when you do. Which is the real part genAI can't help with.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

A potato plant is more sentient than AI. LLM AI is a plagiarism machine that spews out semi-random nonsense.

"The fights for trans rights and Palestinians are over and we lost" is something I'm seeing over and over from cis white progressives. And I'm seeing variations of this popping up about racial justice, marriage equality, and disability rights too.

Sorry, but fuck that.
