cannot believe that all it took was AOC agreeing that Woke 1 was crazy for people to be like "actually Woke 1 was fine". That is not what you were saying last month!!

the excesses of Woke 1 peaked before covid and frankly people have short memories for anything before 2022. you can write dozen of pages of Woke 1 postmortem analysis just on what happened on this website. remember yourfaveisproblematic? prince-koyangi was over a decade ago. they had white Americans calling Europeans colonizers for being into cottagecore aesthetics. fandomites were fake-converting to Judaism for clout points. remember Arkh Project???

absent any moderating force I think the anti-AI sentiment on bluesky is going to make people ableist from first principles

not that I am saying that being anti-AI is ableist. it's the sentiment around AI usage that is increasing fervor without nuance until you get to things like: nobody normal has difficulty reading, if you have difficulty reading that's a skill issue. why do you need the AI glasses to describe your surroundings for you, can't you just see them with your eyes or are you too lazy to look around?

I can almost taste the fall outside during the evenings now. SOON

for years i have been trying to find out if there's a way to just test your way through college credits and ultimately a degree without actually going to school--half for good, practical, career-oriented reasons and half out of a spiteful belief that i can already pass multiple degree programs without fucking around with a college--and i think the CLEP exams and the Modern States voucher program is very close to or exactly what ive been looking for. in the associated list of 'easiest bachelor's degrees" was Business Administration, and Communications and i laughed a mean laugh. i 100%ed a handful of College Composition prep tests last night so i think i could just mop up a degree's-worth of that also

by the way, important side note: the minimum age to sign up on Modern States and start taking their free college courses that then convert to a voucher for a free CLEP test that THEN turns into transferable credits is 13 years old. if you are a teenager this could be a really really good way to just slam dunk a bunch of transferable credits ahead of time. im just starting to look into this and there are often a ton of hoops to jump through when soemthing SEEMS like a good deal, ie, there are reasons this isnt better known/better utilized. but its the first im hearing about it and i wish i had known about it when i was 13
