This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

Anytime the 'creatives are the petite bourgeoisie' thing pops up in arguments for AI or theft I want to scream and start biting.
I will eat your fingers. Stop typing like someone who uses college degrees as rolling paper.

Hi, I lost a keychain and I'm wondering if anyone can help me replace it. It was an Alastor keyring where he's eating ribs. It's transparent acrylic and has his name in it in red letters. It came from Etsy, but I don't know who the vendor is.

A solid article but can we please, again, address the fact that ChatGPT uses em dashes because they ARE used a lot? Lotta hate on them lately because of AI but they show up there because of the materials it was trained on so just be aware that personal stylistic choices are just that - personal.
To “my students and to anyone who might listen, I say: Don’t surrender to AI your ability to read, write and think when others once risked their lives and died for the freedom to do so.”

It's 1925. I'm leanin' against this lamppost on the lookout for dames who are lookin for trouble. I start flipping a quarter. I catch her eye. I fumble the quarter and it rolls into a sewer grate. I have lost the equivalent of thirty thousand dollars.

A lot of people don’t like redemption arcs because they’ feel like they’re overdone (which eh, I don’t agree with but I get it).
But just as many people don’t like redemption arcs because they hate the idea of someone who hurt them getting to become a better person.

Create NSFW art
Porn is not evil, sex is not abhorrent, pleasure is not a crime
Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art
This is why we have tags and the blick button, not megacorps deciding what we can and cannot like
