just in general bending my life towards spending as much of my time as possible around freaks and queers and weirdos has been the best thing ever

Born this way as an ideological line was never strong enough imo. Conversion therapy is torture, that's the reality, and you shouldn't torture people

“The existence of even one ex gay dismantles the central lie of homosexuality, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.”

Same shit different era.

Chloe Cole: The existence of even one detransitioner dismantles the central lie of transgenderism, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.

If you’re in Staunton VA, and the other person says “Stawn-ton” instead of “Stan-ton” they’re a tourist, and they probably say classist shit about southerners too

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 3d

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

If they were dressed any worse I’d make like Oedipus Rex. Just blind myself with my own punk pins

Anemone @anemonebythesea.bsky.social · 2d

Lmao why does that not surprise me at all

You cannot learn to teach and be taught by your peers if you relationships with them are built on lies. What a disgusting idea.

(Also, as a leftist: an egalitarian classroom requires a level of honesty and engagement to which this technology is totally antithetical)

I came out to my advisor before I came out to my parents. I found my feet as a writer in her classes. When I say I’d rather have disemboweled myself than lie to her like this, I’m not kidding.

“What if the students never learn to write?!!” Is so fucking consumerist. Ignore that for one fucking second: what about the part where they don’t learn to respect their teachers and peers because they just want to con them?

Something that I find particularly galling about the entire AI on campus conversation is that the total lack of respect for professors it implies hardly gets mentioned.

“Fuck AI until it’s due in 25 minutes” I’d rather commit harakiri, thanks

Anemone @anemonebythesea.bsky.social · 2d

I love how this person’s use case for AI is lie to a teacher. Like, if you can’t finish the fucking paper in time, just apologize for it and take the loss. I have ADHD, I had to do it more than once.

Twelve pages on Urayoan Noel’s TRANSVERSAL in three hours the night it was due. A grade, my prof said it was good enough she could see me using it as the basis for a doctoral thesis.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.
