Delighted to announce this bird is real and is a corvid.

Truly the family that just keeps giving.

I haven’t seen it in the notes yet, so afaik, here’s the source of that video! So now you can see the funny poison bird much more clearly.

It was taken by a biologist that studies birds so it seems like he knows what he’s doing. For the most part. Here’s his caption:

You all know that he 100% licked his fingers after handling that bird

I can’t leave this in the tags, I’m sorry.

actually crying laughing at this omg

@unkownarmageddon bestie come see this

I AM SO FUCKING TIRED OF THIS AI SCRAPING BULLSHIT, STOP IT YOU MOTHERFUCKERS.

What!!!?!?!????!?!?? No way, is this reall because if so I need to know!! All my stuff goes on Google docs, for most of us that's what we use to share and edit like WTF

@27fanficlilies and others…

This is the exact reason why I don't write stuff on cloud-based softwares like Google (Google Docs) or Microsoft Office (Word online) or even Pages (iOS/Apple). Everything typed on them is analysed by a computer (especially during grammar correction and/or translation) and then used for the company's own purpose (nowadays AI training).

ALWAYS write on third-party softwares or apps if you like to write on your phone (like I do). As for sharing your work with others, first, turn it into a PDF file (pdf can easily be edited too these days) and only then share it through Google Drive or OneDrive.

Helpful tips: Using Word is actually alright as long as it isn't its online version. If you have the software installed on your PC, use this version rather than the one running through the Internet.

Here are also some writing apps I use(d) to write on my phone:

  • Werdsmith
  • MyStory
  • Grammarly (works also on PC)
  • Ulysses Mobile (works also on PC if I remember well)
  • Fortelling - Writer Tools

‼️MISINFORMATION‼️

Google is not *currently* scraping data from Google docs to train their writing AI. More information on what it's doing can be found here -https://www.laptopmag.com/features/google-docs-ai-is-it-safe-im-a-novel-writer-and-tech-journalist-lets-talk

You should still consider moving your stuff because that may change, but as of posting Google is not training Bard on documents hosted in their cloud servers.

Also, Grammerly is *literally* an AI- powered writer and is *absolutely* is training their stuff on your work so run screaming from that @lucy-ashton

one time in my last job a woman came up to the register explaining that when she bought stuff a day prior the clerk forgot to scan a pair of socks worth less than €2 and it was only right for her to bring it back to the store and pay for it proper. unfortunately my manager was directly next to me at the time and took over the register to handle this serious issue. the receipt she had brought with her said which register performed the previous transaction that forgot the socks and the manager could find out who was running that till on that day. poor dude had a manager yell at him for a half hour about how much of an incompetent fuck up he was, he left the job immediately after but i couldnt tell you if he quit or was fired

i think about this moment a lot. the customer seemed like a sweet woman with only good intentions and when she paid for the socks she had a look on her face that said "i feel good because i did the right thing". and a guy lost his job because of a pair of socks. if shit like this ever happens to you and a clerk forgets to scan an item just think of it as a small blessing or that you had good luck or something. keep it.

I graduated high school in 99.

There was a student at our school named Wayne.

Wayne was gay. It was obvious. He was unable to stay in the closet even if he wanted to. To make matters worse, he was also Black. From a bullying standpoint, that was not a great combo. Both Black and white students made fun of him relentlessly. He was ostracized from the only community that may have given him protection. Only us theater kids stuck up for him, but not to significant effect.

Wayne was bullied so much that at one point he finally snapped and attacked his bullies with a lunch tray. I was actually seated in perfect line of sight and just sat there chewing my soggy fries in stunned silence. It didn't even seem real as I was witnessing it. The image of him wailing on his main bully as the food on his tray flew off is permanently logged into my long term memory.

The bully he attacked had blood all over his face and went straight to the nurse. Other than superficial cuts, he was not injured.

Before the attack, Wayne went to teachers for help. He went to guidance counselors for help. He went to the principals for help.

He did all of the things you were supposed to do. No one helped him. They wagged a finger at the bullies and warned them to stop.

Wayne's lunch tray melee was the only thing that worked. His bullies stayed far away from him. But a week later Wayne was expelled and the bullies were given no punishment.

So... no.

No one in my school talked about being trans.

Because the only way to survive being openly queer was to bash people with a lunch tray.

Yes it’s very important for solidarity with workers but, and maybe this is an unpopular opinion, workers should have solidarity with poor customers. Like ignore shoplifting, be sensitive when ppl are using EBT cards, that kinda thing.

If you work retail and you worry about shoplifters I beg you to remember how little money you’re being paid to do this

and also no matter what your boss says to you, someone shoplifting will not cause your wages to be docked. if it DOES, then you can get in contact with a labor attourney, who will proceed to light up like a kid at christmas because they (and you) are about to get a big fat payday. that shit is ridiculously illegal.

Remember kids, the largest form of theft in this country is wage theft, and it's not because of poor people trying to get by.

I work retail in a big shopping mall. One of the things we sell is period underwear. It's basically reuseable pads but as underwear. I discovered one single packet empty with the tags ripped off and sitting next to it. I'm supposed to report it and they check the cameras for the person. I crumpled it up and stuffed it into the trash and my manager caught me doing it. We made eye contact and she nodded and looked away. We both know there's no free tampons or pads in the mall bathrooms.
