welcome to clowntown

i wont worry about it i say to myself with the always worried disorder

I just encountered it for the first time in probably 25 years and I thought, this must be an American version or something. Those are very american foods. Where are all the cabbages. 15 confused minutes later I'm pretty sure there's only one version

I got The Very Hungry Caterpillar (Jamie Oliver's Version)

I am so tired of short-attention-span, trim-the-fat culture. All writing advice these days is for how to write like Chuck Palahniuk. "Cut 'think', cut 'feel', cut 'wonder' - only action, only pushing forward, show and move and move and move." What if I could emulate this style, and still don't want to? What if I want to write like Henry James, with three paragraphs of introspective musings between each dialogue line? The music advice is, "make it shortform, make it Tik-Tok compatible, make it punchy, hit the refrain as soon as possible." What if I want that 10-minute prog rock piece? What if I want that symphony? What if I want it slow and luxurious and lazy? Movies. Series. Poetry. Bodies. Everything is "trimmed trimmed trimmed trimmed, stripped bare, you have three seconds to win me over, make it airport chic." I don't want to win you over, then, I guess. I want the fat left it. I want the pleasure and the indolence and the indulgence. Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."

If I clock any account posting on any platform with AI generated text - and to me it seems like 80% of it is AI now - I'm hitting block/not interested immediately. Stop wasting my time, why should I read it when no one bothered to write it 🙄

the spirit is willing but the flesh is so fucking out of it rn. actually the flesh would like to pack it up and leave. it's done with the horrors.

Watching people interact normally with posts that are obviously written by chat-gpt makes me feel like I'm losing my mind

Everybody on Facebook and Instagram is talking to ghosts and I don't understand whether people are just accepting it and engaging anyway or they genuinely haven't noticed that chat-gpt text has the same awful tone every time

Are...are notes gone? Were they always gone? How long have they been gone without me noticing? I have individual counts for comments and reblogs and likes now but no notes????????

Please tell me it's an app glitch please

And WHY is there a short form video tab that immediately scared me with an AI e-girl pleeeaaaase tumblr the children yearn for 2016 now is the time to embrace who you truly are. Put the notes back and get rid of the scary AI girl tab
