Man I do feel some type of way about how aesthetically I like fighter jets and fictional military mecha, but in real life I believe the military industrial complex is a massive waste of money and resources that could instead go toward improving humanity's material conditions

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology"

No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

Io is sitting with a happy expression at a table. She is holding a piece of chocolate with pink stripes on it. The table has a heart-shaped box of similar chocolates. Next to it is a teddy bear holding a heart, as well as two cake slices (one pink and one chocolate). Behind Io is a couch with a heart-shaped pillow and a mysterious pink potion. Further behind her is a stack of red balloons.

Io is sitting (kneeling) in a Japanese-style house on the patio. She has an expression of heart-shaped eyes and blush. She is holding a heart-shaped box with a ribbon in one hand, and a bouquet of roses in the other hand towards the viewer.  There is also a single rose held where her mouth would be if she had one. Behind her is a garden at night. Closer behind her is a stack of red balloons. To her other side is part of the sliding door. Through the door's window is part of a teddy bear's head looking through suspiciously.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Something that should also be noted is that most β€œAI art” websites and software are on a subscription-based model, usually limiting the number of generations one can do for free.

β€œAI art” displays just as much, if not more class disparity than actual artistic tools.

I don't think I'm ever going to be able to fully come out about this, but lets just say I now understand what it feels like to have been abused by a fairly prominent creator, and watching them continue to gain followers and attention just hurts. For those who know, keep it to yourselves.

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles.

"The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

For whatever reason, the soundtrack for the "Orchestra in Late Autumn" event in Uma Musume just hits different for me.

All of the songs associated with that event give me goosebumps every time I listen to them.

The story being great also helps lol

Worries about vaccination rates in dogs
As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs - and their owners- becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in nationally representative
sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies.

May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism.

This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs.

Vaccinate your pets please.

A split-background comic. On the left, a simplified figure gestures dismissively and says: β€œI have ADHD and I don’t have those problems.” A smaller speech bubble adds: β€œYou’re just looking for excuses!” The background is purple and feels confrontational.
On the right, the ADHD Alien character faces forward with a calm but firm expression and gives a thumbs-up. She responds: β€œReally happy for you, but ADHD is different for everyone.” The background is warm yellow, signaling reassurance and self-confidence.

I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit.
Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks!
Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you.
No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags.
But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset.
It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast.
Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person.
Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back

You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).
