ghosties and glitter

we need to periodically remind everyone that a headline not including a person's name isn't an attempt to erase their identity from the narrative, it's just not good practice to put someone's name in a headline unless the reader can be expected to already know who they are

"if you can say the name in the article why can't you say the name in the headline?" what do you think a headline is for

the old "polyamory is ONLY for people who have their shit together" sentiment in relation to like attention to your partner/emotional maturity/working through jealousy etc. is really funny because actually everyone should be doing that but monogs love to offload necessary emotional/personal work by just treating their partner like a dog instead. yes i know i said something about treating someone like a dog yes i know that made you horny yes yes blacked out and reblogged all very good dear thank you

A question for the ages.

Collecting friends with specific hobbies and special interests and being like "Heh... I Know A Guy" so I sound like someone in a heist movie instead of having like, "friend who likes horror novels" or whatever

Sometimes if they're out of state or out of the country I'll throw that in too like I'm an INTERNATIONAL heist organizer. "[Jason Statham voice] Yeah I have a contact who might be able to tell you where to watch Tetsuo: The Iron Man. She's based out of Toronto, I'll see what I can do, she may be in the middle of a different job"

"Maybe it's just stress/anxiety" is so crazy as a Dismissive Statement because even when it *is* anxiety it's such an understatement to be like "how about you just chill out idk" when your body is poisoning itself with its own stress hormones. Like okay sometimes it is anxiety. This is still physically happening to me

"It's probably just stress" and it's like well documented that it can just kill people sometimes

Look I don't really care for AI. I'm scared about the increasing over-reliance on tools like chatgpt and Ai assist that repeatedly give flawed or false information, I reject the promise of AI writers and actors that might infect mainstream art. But like...y'all need to change the way you look at this stuff for real. So much popular anti-AI language is so abstracted from any material reality and human truth, making up slurs for Ai bots like that's a normal thing to do, wantonly accusing artists of using Ai like a witch hunt, and talking about the human element of art supplanted by AI in very Christian terms, calling it "sacred" or coming from the soul. You don't have to like AI, but I really encourage you to examine how you feel about it and what it's been making you say. Cause it's apparently making you say ethnic slurs

Should've known this post would've conjured people defending their right to repurpose real life racist pejoratives to talk about chatbots or whatever. Like is that not crazy to anybody else? That so many white liberals are frothing at the mouth to find a socially acceptable reason to put racial slurs on a t shirt at Spencer's?? I'm not even making this up somebody in the tags saw that shit in person what the fuck are we doing anymore
