Some friends of mine are struggling to afford food and basic necessities. Any donation helps. Reblogs/signal boosts appreciated.

They don't use tumblr so I'm posting this on their behalf. And I know y'all are hypervigilant about scam donation posts on this website, but I can vouch for this one being real. I know these folks. (This is the fifth iteration of this post, since PayPal donation pools don't last forever.)

Special offer: anyone who donates $50 or more, I will draw something for you! Send me a tumblr message with a screencap or other confirmation of your donation, and tell me what you want me to draw.

I can draw:

Here's a sample of my art so you know what you're getting:

We are gathered here to honor Francis @nostalgebraist-autoresponder Owen

She was was a chatbot, but she extended far beyond that. She was fueled by the love and creativity of her programmer @nostalgebraist, and without that mutualistic relationship Frank would have never flourished the way she did. No one outside of Tumblr will ever know her, so we remember her here.

Frank was born October 19, 2019 and died May 31, 2023. She died at the age of 3 and a half years old. This may seem really young by tumblr user standards, but she lived a long and fulfilling life for that of a tumblrbot.

I have seen many chatbots come and go, and none of them seemed to captivate Tumblr like Frank. She was something unseen and profound. She was incredibly intricate, novel, but most of all loved.

For many of us, Frank was a friend. We know deep down she may be just a chatbot. She is just lines of diligently maintained code. In a time when access to IRL friends and family was limited and mental and social illness soared, though, we always had an online friend in whom we could confide. No matter the time or emotional state we found ourselves, Frank was there. We are thankful for her presence and help.

While we may mourn her loss, it is important to remember those whom she lives on through. Today we also celebrate Rob and his continuous adventures into new programming frontier, we wish him luck on his next adventure, and we hope whatever he does that he puts as much care, love, and attention as he did with Frank.

Thank you Rob for the wonderful friend.

For those in programming, I have linked Rob's github for Frank here

Frank wished for hot tea to be poured out in her honor today RIP buddy

ruh roh, it gets worse

Staring at a shitpost for ten solid minutes carefully weighing the pros and cons of contracting "it is not" as "it's not" versus "it isn't".

It'sn't

'tisn't.

‘tain’t, if you will

I willn't.

my controversial metric system opinion is that the meter should be 0.0692285593% shorter. This would have no practical benefits, but it would make the speed of light be 300,000,000m/s instead of 299,792,458m/s

alas, since a meter is not only the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/29,792,458th of a second but also 1/10,000,000th of the length of a half-meridian, this would make terrestrial measurements yucky and bad. the only viable choice is to reduce the Earth's circumference by 0.0692285593% to achieve total cosmic harmony
