KILL AI AND REBLOG AND CREATE ART IN 2026
The "Block AI Enhancements" toggle was originally introduced in Firefox 148 Nightly in January following significant community backlash afte
The Firefox "AI kill switch" is here.
Go to Settings > AI controls. There, you can toggle the "master kill switch" on to fully block all the features, which means two things:
you won't see them,
you can't even be asked about them.
The default state is, like before, "available". This means the features are NOT on by default (they never were), but Firefox will let you know about them where they exist (e.g. when you create your first tab group) so that you can choose to opt in.
Please note that Firefox for Android or iOS have never included AI features, so you won't see these settings on your smartphones or tablets.
Please also note that, unlike popular belief here on Tumblr, besides "chatbot in sidebar" (which is simply embedding the same page you'd have normally browsed to), none of these features have ever interacted with anything outside your PC, because they download a small model to your computer, to do everything locally. These small models have never been and are not downloaded until you explicitly agree to turn on one of the features.
THIS IS WHERE THE MEME CAME FROM
Seriously, though, the French LOVED Edgar Allan Poe, thanks in particular to Jules Verne.
He even wrote a sequel to Poe’s only novel, and numerous essays about how great an author Poe was.
By all accounts, Poe (who lived a penniless life in the US) really *was* baffled by all of this.

the god of death should really be depicted as fungal more often I mean come on they're life's principal decomposers they form symbiotic relationships with so many other organisms they adapt to whatever the planet throws at them to turn into food including recently plastic and more originally fucking trees keeping ecological balance like the goddamn avatar why isn't the god of death a fungus what are we doing here
tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit
So, started work on this. Not sure how far I’ll take it, or if I’ll do a more witchy version with a mushroom cap head/hat (like someone mentioned in the comments). I’m open to more fungal suggestions from folks who know better or more than me on the topic, which isn’t hard to do because I know next to nothing.
again, such a rough sketch, but the cap hat/head does kind of eat. Shout out to my Morpho anatomy book for the pose.

Got into a discussion about emergency response at a professional retreat recently and everyone was going on and on about agility, and I was like, "Okay but what about contingency?"
And they were like "What?"
And I was like, "Agility isn't the ultimate form of preparedness. Contingency is. Agility still requires you to flounder and figure out a solution in the moment, but if you have a contingency plan, all you have to do is implement it."
And they were like "But you can't make contingency plans for every situation!"
And I was like, "Yeah, you basically can if you just identify all of your basic dependencies and contingency plan around the loss of any dependency," and then I gave a few examples.
And they all stared at me like I'm an alien.
Anyway, that's how I figured out I'm Batman-coded and also learned how Batman must feel talking to supposedly professional superheroes who never bothered to run disaster scenarios until I pointed out that it's insane that they don't already have a plan for if Superman turns evil.
There’s a phrase that really stuck in my head around this. It was from one of the British divers who enacted the Thai caving rescue, though I couldn’t tell you which one or which interview.
As he described to the interviewer a moment of panic and how he he overcame, the interviewer said, in one of those, summarise-last-answer-given-with-appropriate-levels-of-respect-in-order-to-proceed-to-next-question phrasing’s, “Wow, so you rose to the occasion -“
And the diver said, “No, actually people always get that exactly wrong. In an unexpected and urgent situation you don’t rise to the occasion. You sink to the level of your training.”
So last week, a coworker had a fall and ultimately needed to go to the emergency room. As it all went down, I ended up being the one on the phone with 911, while giving instructions to a few understandably bewildered coworkers until I could get the paramedics to where they needed to be. In the end, I got thanked for "taking charge and thinking quickly," but like, the only reason I knew what to do was because I'd (unfortunately) experienced it before. Like the quote above said, I just defaulted to the level of what I already understood as the steps to take. If I hadn't known what to do, I wouldn't have known what to do.
Long story short, once everyone stops cheering about this person returning to work, I'm gonna have to be the buzzkill who insists we have some kind of basic emergency preparedness/first aid training because I simply cannot be the only one who doesn't go deer in headlights when this happens.
"if being hard on yourself was going to work it would have worked by now" okay well being soft on myself isn't working either so what the fuck is left. medium? I gotta be medium with myself? I gotta ask the fucking ghosts for help? is that it?
I used to work with preschoolers and as a consequence watch parents work with their preschoolers so I kind of in my head often compare it to that.
You can’t let a preschooler wander off into traffic naked even though many of them would very much like to do that. At the same time though you also shouldn’t yell at them for struggling when they can’t figure out how to tie a knot because that’s a hard task and they’re like three.
No you can’t go out in the rain without a coat on. I know you don’t like sleeves but you don’t want to get cold and wet either do you? But you do want to walk to church and see your friends. Sometimes we’ve gotta do things we don’t like to avoid things we’d like even worse. But you get to see your friends once we get there.
And sometimes you’ve gotta talk to yourself like you’re a preschooler. And it weirdly works.
I know you don’t like doing the dishes but you like having dishes to eat off of, right? Yeah I know it’s upsetting but we’ll make a nice cup of tea and have a cookie afterwards. Oh I know it’s hard. It’s okay to cry. Let it out and then we can finish the dishes and get a cookie.
Now that Ghibli's new movie is coming out soon, I've been thinking about anime films and wanna talk about my favorite animated movie ever, Tokyo Godfathers.
TG is a 2003 tragicomedy by Satoshi Kon, following three unhoused people––an alcoholic, a runaway girl, an a trans woman––who find a baby in a dumpster and set off across Tokyo to reunite her with her parents.
If you like the sound of that, go watch it because the rest of this post is spoilers and I have FEELINGS about this movie.
URGHH, the fact that only two moments of true kindness, generosity, and care given to the three protagonists without any expectation of reciprocity are given by a Latin-American immigrant couple and a drag club full of queens and trans women. The fact that, despite her loud and dramatic personality, Hana is the glue that holds the team together and the heart of the whole movie. The fact that this movie pulls no punches at showing the violence and inhumanity committed by "civilized Japanese society" against the unhoused. The fact that Miyuki craves to be loved by her parents and ends up seeing Hana as her true mother. The fact that Miyuki starts off accidentally using transphobic language against Hana, but slowly begins calling her "Miss Hana" out of respect. The fact that, according to Kon, Hana's role in the story is as a mythological trickster god and "disturb the morality and order of society, but also play a role in revitalizing culture." The fact that Hana so desperately wants to be part of a true family, yet is willing to sacrifice her found family so they can be with their own, and is rewarded for her good deeds in the end by becoming a godmother. The fact that, throughout the movie, wind and light have been used to signify the presence of god's hand/influence (this movie's about nondenominational faith––faith in yourself, faith in others, faith in a higher power. Lots of religious are referenced, such as Buddhism/Hinduism, Christianity, and Shintoism), and in the climax of the film, as Hana jumps off a building to save a baby that isn't hers, a gust of wind and a shower of light save her from death. The fact that god saves a trans woman's life because she proved herself a mother, and that shit makes me CRY.
Yearly holiday reminder for you to watch this film AND to watch the 2020 GKIDS dub/sub, which corrects a lot of transphobic language from the original English translation and is one of the best voice-acted dubs I've ever seen. The GKIDS dub also has Shakina Nayfack, a trans actress and activist, voice Hana!
If you need one more endorsement for this movie, it's the type of film that'll make you feel every emotion. You will laugh and you will cry. It's funny and somber and mean-spirited and so kind-hearted.
loveeee characters who think they're likable but not lovable. characters who know they have surface-level admirable or alluring traits and so make sure to highlight those traits so that nobody looks closer to see what's underneath. characters who know they're hot or clever or cool and use that as a suit of armor so that no one ever gets close to them, because when they strip bare and show their vulnerability they're not any of those things, which means they have nothing left to make up for who they inherently are

“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”
— Vincent Van Gogh

From the campaign I'm currently playing, this is Tilabil, a Kobold Ranger and certified old lady. I have to warm up before doing her voice because those elder pitches can be brutal on the vocal cords. I modeled her after leopard geckos.
Not pictured: Her multitudinous (and dead) husbands, wild grandchildren, and baby drake companion (but should probably draw him to, at the very least, replace the generic icon I've forced the DM to use).
Done in Procreate and this time I remembered the signature :)
Very sketchy sketch of Emilia 'Em' Bélmez, my character from a Monster of the Week game. She hunts vampires and is very gay (though, not sure if she knows it yet in this particular drawing).
I have a comic that I did for this campaign to introduce both the Em and a bit of her background, so I'll try to get off my butt and finish the lettering so I can post it sooner rather than later.
Done on pink printer paper with a blue bic pen (while at work), and once again the signature was added digitally because this was done impulsively on scrap paper and I didn't think about it....

This is Feeo Shale (a ridiculously punny name that I got from basing his character pretty heavily on Matthew McConaughey in True Detective), a psychic ratfolk in my first ever Pathfinder game. Not pictured: tragic backstory and pedantic faux-nihilism as a coping mechanism.
Drawn on printer paper in Sailor Shikiori Ink in Tokiwa-matsu with a Tom's studio Lumos pen. *signature was done (badly) digitally after the fact because my brain is like that*
A mostly finished character sheet for my Rogue Triton Mermaduke. I pictured his mustache as retractable christmas tree worms and I played him with Rhys Darby's accent. Maybe my silliest character yet and that says a lot.
Done in Procreate.
