This is an ai “artwork” hate blog now

like look you have this soulless thing that has anonymously and indiscriminately cannibalized years of hard-earned learning and discipline and struggle and creativity.

and you type in a little thing and it just. spits out some mashed up amalgam of other peoples inspiration, other peoples skills and dedication and livelihoods. and you sit there and smile and tag it “my art” like its not a horrible spit in the face of every artist who made that shitty little program possible. and now you think you have no NEED to pay an artist, you can just make it yourself. as if you’ve made anything??? fuck you and fuck ai “art”

what kind of unknowable being are you by sbubby on uquiz

[Image ID: a uquiz result reading “the void at the bottom of the sea” with the smaller text under it reading: “you are mysterious like disappearing airplanes. your bones are sunken ship masts covered in barnacles. you've lured a sailor or two into the murky depths.” End ID]

the forest god with flowers in its antlers

you can be found on the sides of highways and kneeling in clearings. you have been known to guide the restless. you know kindness and cruelty are two sides of the same coin.

I just saw someone accuse a lesbian author of queerbaiting for her book series that’s chock full of canonically queer characters just because no one ever kisses or explicitly says they want to kiss anyone of the same gender in the first book, So here’s a reminder that not all queer media has to be romance, queer characters can still be good representation if they’re single, and it is literally impossible for a piece of media to queerbait with canonically queer characters.

Also, just in case anyone forgot:

Aromantic folks are queer Asexual folks are queer

This shitty take is incredibly invalidating.

Reblog and put in the tags the name of your longest music playlist and how long it is

full offense to everyone who made fun of poetry in my high school lit classes but if you don't let at least one poet consume your entire being then what are you doing with yourself

this is what the greeks meant by having dionysus be both the god of theater and the god of madness i think

To abled authors, it is okay to include Disabled characters in your writing.

I’m not saying you should write about being Disabled, but you can include Disabled characters without knowing every in and out of a Disabled experience.

Disabled folks have lives. We go on adventures; we have sex and relationships; we have thoughts about the world around us and about the situations we are in, just like any other person.

As long as you put in the work and research and do it respectfully with good intentions, it’s okay, and often appreciated, that you include characters like us in your work.

If I ask nicely who will rb this telling me what is the last song u listened to 🥺

i wish everyone who comments “must be nice to have a dad who doesn’t abuse you” on every innocuous mention of someone else having a positive relationship with their father a very stop that

The weighted blanket is a dangerous artifact, upon wearing it has the potential to prevent user from getting up for extended periods of time due to inflicting a status condition known as “too comfy”

is anyone else on this hill or is it just me and sisyphus and kate bush?

Don't forget Jack and Jill. They're there too : )

obsessed with this s3 subplot

I swear fanfiction authors will really just say: hey guys, sorry that this chapter came out an hour later than I planned it. I was murdered two weeks ago and just got revived. Anyway, here the chapter. Then write something that’s better than 99% of what Hollywood is putting out.

I don't know who else struggles with this but someone out there probably does, so here's an affirmation to help combat internalized ableism:

My braces and mobility aids don't ruin my outfit.

My safety and comfort are more important than an outfit.

I'm seeing people use the term "chronic fatigue" incorrectly all of a sudden lately. Granted, I've only seen it on Twitter, but I still want to talk about it here. If you're using the term improperly, I'd like it if you'd stop and inform yourself on the subject.

Chronic fatigue is not just being very tired, in case you're not aware. It disables you and comes with cognitive dysfunction (persistent state of confusion, inability to focus, inability to process new information or articulate your thoughts, poor memory, and more).

Chronic fatigue especially ISN'T being tired due to punctual external reasons that'd tire any person without a preexisting condition and it DOESN'T go away with proper rest. Proper rest simply avoids worsening it, and even that can fail, seeing as obtaining proper rest when you have chronic fatigue ranges from very difficult to Not Happening.

Not everyone's chronic fatigue is equally disabling, some people can lead a "normal" life at a great cost (and risk of permanently making it worse) while others are bedridden, but it's not a tiredness caused by a factor that if you remove it, will fix it, unless of course you find effective MEDICAL TREATMENT that makes it go away AS LONG AS YOU KEEP TO YOUR MEDICAL TREATMENT, or get a specific SURGERY in case yours comes from tethered (spinal) cord and/or CCI. This surgery consists on fusing some of the vertebrae of your neck permanently, by the way.

Some conditions that cause chronic fatigue; your brain being deprived of enough oxygenated blood (orthostatic intolerance, anemia, hypotension), your immune system attacking your own body (autoimmunity), metabolic issues on a CELLULAR level (ME/CFS), gastrointestinal issues, chronic pain, and a long, long etcetera. Mine comes from a combination of a genetic mutation that makes ALL my organs function poorly, orthostatic intolerance and autoimmunity.

It's a disabling condition nearly impossible to combat and even more impossible to push through. I've been trying to treat mine for 3 years, researching and trying new things non-stop for 3 years, and I'm still housebound and unable to work.

Please, I beg you, don't trivialize the term "chronic fatigue". The medical establishment and society at large already don't take it seriously, believe it can be cured by positive thinking/CBT or exercise, or believe it's a myth to justify laziness.

Please, don't turn "chronic fatigue" into the next "gaslighting" or "emotional labor". The harm that'd cause to the disabled/chronically ill community would be unmeassurable. We deal with enough disbelief and lack of care as is.

I’m not on Twitter so I don’t know how exactly they’re using it, but it sounds like they’re trying to just say fatigue. Do these people not know what chronic means???

Chronic adjective persisting for a long time or constantly recurring

Fatigue is something that anyone can experience, just like any other issue, chronic fatigue is usually because something is not right with the body (including the brain and mental illnesses). Just like how chronic pain is an issue, but pain every once in a while is not.

People who have symptoms but no official (or unofficial) diagnosis are just as welcomed into the Ouch Community as anyone else. I don’t care if you’re in the “tummy hurted for too long” or the “i have no arms or legs, my skin is made of paper, my bones are made of glass, and I have the most advanced Disease ever” category.

The community is “it hurt and is now my life”

#remember: a diagnosis just describes what’s been going on#you don’t suddenly become disabled or chronically ill the moment you get a diagnosis#that starts when the symptoms start#and you need symptoms to get a diagnosis [via]
