we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

I'm a firm Miranda and Shepard shipper, but Liara was my first Mass Effect love, and I've always loved the idea of lots of little blue children

The senior crew of Starfleet's most controversial starship, the USS Normandy SR-1.

blurb and crew list under the cut!

"Scam" you mean people are fighting back against housing discrimination??? I don't think these people know what the word scam means

Scams are designed to trick someone into giving up money based on lies. This is just.. asking for information then legally enforcing the law??

You guys have got to start reblogging stuff you enjoy, especially, specifically gifs and fan art but also fics and fan theories or even hot takes if you're not afraid of a lil discourse. I'm tired of being the first or third reblog for a person's post and then seeing my blog's followers do nothing but hit like, while blogs sit there with no new posts in months or years!

Reblog more stuff please. Thank you, have a good day.

Ignoring the complexities and well-established enmeshment of fascism in Western culture for the sake of simpler stories to inspire rising to this moment in history only builds fair-weather fighters ill-prepared for the rigors of revolutionary action. It also widens the rift between those newly awakened to the struggle and their neighbors that have lived it for generations (and have built and maintained systems of community support and resistance that have protected them for just as long).

1. "I don't want to clog up the dash."

Fair. That's why there's a queue. Use it so your posts are spaced out and you're not clogging anything. (And if you do clog someone's dash because your hourly posts are too many, then that's on that person for not following more people.)

2. "It's so weird, I don't want anyone to know I like it."

Hello, you are on the cringe website, we all like weird shit, that's why we're here? If others don't like it, they can scroll past it. (Also they probably like it and just aren't telling you.)

3. "None of my followers have followed me for this content."

Then use a tag and tell them to block the tag. It's your blog, not theirs, put up what you want. Again, cringe website; please see #2.

4. "I haven't read/watched (this fic/article/book/movie/TV show) yet. What if it's terrible?"

So? Say it looks interesting and you'll look at it later. And maybe it'll be terrible to you, fine. But it also might be someone else's favorite fic/article/book/movie/TV show ever that they discovered through you.

5. "They don't reblog my stuff!"

Yeah, probably they're saying the same about you. Vicious cycle. Maybe be the one to break it? (Or maybe they don't reblog yours because they didn't see it because no one else reblogged it either. Please see #4.)

6. "I only get three reblogs a day and after that I am not allowed to reblog anything else for a full 24 hours."

Okay, now you're just making shit up.

7. "My reblog queue is already full."

You know you can make that go as fast as you want, right? Also if you're reblogging that much, you don't need this post. Go watch one of those shows from #4.

8. "No one follows me, no one will care, everyone has seen it already."

Maybe no one follows you now, but that won't always be true. Part of the reason you reblog is so that people can find you, and use what you've reblogged before to decide if they want to follow you now. The OP will care if you reblog their stuff; you'll make their day by doing so, and maybe they'll follow you too.

Tumblr moves fast, and there's always newbies. There is always something someone hasn't seen. Be the one to show them, and turn them into today's Lucky 10,000.

9. "I don't want to spam reblog from just one person!"

Yeah, this isn't Insta or Twitter or whatever, doing this is a compliment, honestly. Use your queue if you're that worried, though (see #1).

9. "I guess I just didn't think it mattered."

It does. It really does.

Sometimes we all have quiet days. I can't claim I reblog absolutely everything I should, either.

But please try.

We say we want community; we say we want connection; we say we want to be part of something bigger.

This is the best, easiest way to do that.

Yes, they do, or they would have turned off reblogs (which you can do. And if you didn't know that--now you do! Congrats, you're one of today's Lucky 10,000.)

11. "OP made a mistake and used the number 9 twice in their list (or some other mistake), do they really want that mistake immortalized?"
