Buy stuff if you can.

It isn’t conscious because it’s an LLM - like all it does is analyze massive datasets to predict tokens. It doesn’t have any independent thoughts or sense of self.

Are *you* conscious??

My shop is tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com

My ko-fi is ko-fi.com/tessfowler

If we make ten sales before Sunday night, we have rent. Late again, so late fees attached. But ten sales would bring us to safety for another few weeks. Thank you so so so much!!

This quote isnt just out of touch or disappointing, its fucking dark. Gay people are not a conversation parents need to have with their kids? Knowing gay people exist doesnt require therapy??

Any parents who thinks that way needs to have their kids removed ASAP. Get in a volcano, Pete.

Pixar’s Pete Docter Says Queer ‘Elio’ Storyline Was Axed Because “We’re Making A Movie, Not Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars Of Therapy” Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter explained the animation company's decision to ax a queer storyline in last year's Elio.

Am I surprised that a man who was able to thrive at a company where women weren't allowed in the same room as the boss, because he'd grope them, appears to have no ethical backbone? Not even a little.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Part of the reason "Breaking Bad" is one of the greatest TV shows of all time is that its central thesis, which feels true, is that there is a monster inside all human beings, and given the chance to come out, it will, indeed, come out.

Anyway, here's an article about a Let the Monster Out Factory.

"I have a career on the internet doing comedy," Mr. Herrera told The New York Times. "If their strategy is going to be clutching their fake pearls, and they don't know the difference between jokes and what I actually believe, then this is going to be a very annoying few months."
In his video of the Nazi submachine gun, Mr. Herrera calls the weapon the
"original ghetto blaster" and "Hitler's street sweeper" and marches to a Nazi-era German war song.

I don’t know what it means about my brain right now, but I LOLed at this.

In lawsuit, Minnesota accuses Trump administration of 'weaponizing' Medicaid funding The federal government said the state should do more to fight fraud and is holding back funds. Minnesota officials say the attack is unfair as the state's fraud rate is well below national averages.

I briefly had the sarcastic thought “I hope the ‘just asking questions’ losers who greased the wheels for this are happy” but in sincerity I hope they never feel happiness!

No one believes me when I double wink at them. They say things like, "that's blinking" and "Stop! There's no such thing as double winking!" But I'm not blinking. I'm double winking. Or simultaneously winking with both eyes. It's special!

We define winking as closing only one eye, but you can wink even if your eyes are closed. You just keep them closed, and then squeeze one eye shut a little bit extra. So is winking more the act of squeezing an eyelid?

I'm supposed to be working but I've spent maybe 15 minutes crafting this post.

When there is a photo of two doves snuggling and one is brown and one is white, all the comments will assume the white one is female.

And that's a fine example of colorism that many won't even notice. 😑
