As an instructor, I'd rather see your fever dream, No Doze-fueled 4AM essays written at an IHOP rather than anything generated by an LLM.

Hope this helps

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.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

Hey folks - I'm working with an MS (multiple sclerosis) charity to find streamers to support fundraising in November. It's retro gaming themed, so if you're interested in more info - or you know someone who would be amazing - please chuck me a reply 💚

This is honestly amazing. Artists should have this option available to them everywhere. Get a basic income so you can do the things you are best at with less instability, and everyone benefits.

Mike Sowden @mikeachim.bsky.social · 2d

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Sign. Join. Go to the meeting. The first instinct is to keep your head down, get the work done, hope someone louder or smarter or whatever helps. But that's the coordination problem of fascism: if you, yes you, ordinary person who's never done this before, do nothing then we all lose.

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”

A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

In a shocking turn of events, I'm not the only Matt at @certifiedforgot.bsky.social who digs HIM?

In our latest 30-minute Uncertified episode, @monagle.bsky.social and I delve into why the heavily derided football-horror mashup resonated with us (and not many others, lol).

Update on this. His place fell through but I’ve given him some resources and options to call but I want to murder his mother so bad. I really wish we had the space for him.

Steffi Graves ⚰️ @graves.bsky.social · 2d

If we’d had the space he could have stayed with us in a heartbeat. But I’m very glad he’s in a safe space.

Newsom is a NON-VIABLE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. None of the quippy clapback posts mean a goddamn thing if he is willing to throw the queer community under the bus at any opportunity he gets to do so.

I find it WILD that when Black ppl talk about how they feel…there losers who look for other Black ppl who disagree so they can say “SEE, IT’S NOT TRUE!”

i keep seeing posts saying things along the lines of "if i keep inviting you and you say no i'm not going to invite you anymore"

and i just need people to know if you have chronically ill friends, this leaves us with the option of masking our pain & getting sicker or having no friends 🧵 #disability

The reviews are coming in on the UCP's American lesson plans they're offering parents while teachers are on strike...

From this Grade 1 teacher, not only do they not align with the UCP's curriculum...

They aren't even based in what most Grade 1 kids can do.

Create NSFW art

Porn is not evil, sex is not abhorrent, pleasure is not a crime

Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art

This is why we have tags and the blick button, not megacorps deciding what we can and cannot like

Always resist oppression
