Brachiosaurus Monster that evolved in the deep dark caves, all its bones are cartilage and every part of it is prehensile to fit in crevices.
it climbs along walls, and is quite as a mouse.
I would really like this trend of donation scammers sending anons to stop. I block them yet they still send anons. It's very annoying.

Transgender love is more hopeful than the law.

Just an extremely Normal thing to say
Reminder they want to increase the budget for ICE from 3.5 to 45 billion dollars.
Reminder the majority of that will be for building new detention centers.
Reminder ICE are *currently* detaining tourists who can pay for a plane ticket home and people with visa issues that were already resolved, because they have to make quota so Trump can brag about the numbers going up.
Reminder most of these people were already in the immigration system - that's why they were easy to detain.
Reminder this is all at taxpayer expense.
Reminder these are people.

Boss is asleep, cannot stop me from frogposting
an important thing to remember about colonialism is that places that were colonized were not perfect utopia but often full of their own horrors and abuses
the other important thing to remember about colonialism that the above does not justify colonialism
“Appeal to a wider audience” is corporate lingo for “strip more themes from a piece of media so it’s safer and more sanitized for investors”
Hey. Take my hand. I feel like if 4chan can afford to keep running since 2009 despite having an unmarketable shitty userbase then whatever may happen to tumblr will not be our fault.
Shoutout to the best greentext out there
4chan memorial post. rest in hell
watching 4chan die as a tumblr user is like. its like watching another titanic hit another iceberg and sink faster right in front of the already sinking titanic that youre on
The fact that kids nowadays want ao3 to be censored— guys. Guys. Where is your sense of adventure? When I was 12, and homeschooled, and had unlimited internet access on my second hand laptop, all I felt upon discovering ao3 was unmitigated joy. A whole platform where people can be fucking weird and post toe-curling novel-length diatribes about ANYTHING. How beautiful is that?
And then you, the reader, can just jump in and post your own weird shit? And people might comment just to say “nice job!” Or “where the fuck is the next chapter” on your 20k coffee shop FNAF AU? Bro. Them’s the little things that make the internet worth anything.
Ao3 is so beautiful. I love scrolling past indescribably disturbing descriptions. I love knowing they have a place to be posted. I love knowing that, should I feel the urge to indulge, I can do so with no repercussions.
Mi familia. Mis amigos. Por favor. Take a step back and be grateful that not every facet of creativity has been locked behind an algorithm.

don't like what you're seeing? use. your. filters.
Btw, does anyone know if there’s a nightshade/glaze type program for text?
I realize that’s kind of a big ask since it’d have to cover more ground — text on websites, on saved documents, etc. — but I’m wondering if it exists.
CALLING ALL AUTHORS AND ENJOYERS OF STORIES.
AN AUSTRALIAN PUBLISHING HOUSE IS TRYING TO FORCE THEIR AUTHORS TO SIGN AMENDED CONTRACTS THAT ALLOWS THE PUBLISHER TO FEED THEIR WORKS INTO A GENERATIVE AI AND UTILISE ANY RESULTANT OUTPUT WITHOUT LIMITATION.
On 5th March 2025, news broke that they want the right to "reproduce, use, adapt and exploit the work in connection with the development of any software program, including, without limitation, training, testing, validation, and the deployment ifba machine learning or generative artificial intelligence system."
This is fucking outrageous. This means that the authors original ideas will be used to generate "new" stories, which the publishing house will own all the rights to, and which the author will have no rights to and will see no financial return for. This is genuinely the most outrageous proposal I've ever seen from a publishing house.
The company is Black Inc Publishing.
Their email address is enquiries@blackincbooks.com
How about we let them know exactly how opposed to this idea the wider public is.
If you're Australian and you email them: fantastic.
If you're not Australian and you email them? EVEN BETTER. Make sure you let them know what country you're emailing from. Let them know how far news of their atrocious idea has spread.
Publishing Houses should be standing AGAINST the rot that is AI, and instead, Black Inc wants to exploit their authors in exchange for a cheap buck. Let's NOT let this happen without a riot.
I think a lot of what pro-AI people are really wanting is stuff that already exists but they don't know it's out there like
can't format a work email? templates
don't know how to write a resume? templates
writing a thank you card or a condolences card or a wedding invitation? templates templates templates
not sure how to format your citations in MLA or whatever format? citationmachine.net
summary of something you're reading for school/work? cliffsnotes.com
recipe based on ingredients in your fridge? whatsintherefrigerator.com
there's a million more like, guys, we don't need AI, we never needed generative AI
Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.
"You have to become comfortable with the fact that most people who enjoy your fic will never bother to kudos or comment on it."
Shockingly, I am comfortable with this fact. Lack of kudos or comments doesn't bother me.
That doesn't mean it shouldn't change.
If you enjoy a fic, leave a kudos or a comment.
