The old school lack of transparency on tumblr is amazing because you assume the people you follow must all be equivalent to you and then you see someone write “I brought my youngest to college today” and someone else write “my mom wouldn’t let me listen to Ariana Grande when I was a kid” and then your head explodes
and we need that! keeps us humble.
Then I'm just like WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE AN ADULT
It goes the other way, too, because WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE A CHILD?!!
I'm 16, that's like, barely a child
I'm in my 30s. You are baby
I'm older than both of you in a trenchcoat.
honestly one of the best things we can do for ourselves is realize that people of different ages than us can still be the same kind of person as us. it's humbling and it gives everyone involved a sense of continuity, and it busts those stupid generational stereotypes media is so fond of.
For anyone wondering, the PhD student's name is Myra Cheng.
Here's a link to an article about the study from the Stanford Report: link.
Across three preregistered studies, participants interacting with sycophantic AI became more convinced of their own rightness and less willing to repair relationships. Yet at the same time, participants rated sycophantic AI models as higher quality, more trustworthy, and more desirable for future use, which may explain why this behavior has persisted despite its harmful impacts.

guy who doesnt understand how lesbian relationships work: so which one of you died by self-inflicted fencepost impalement and which one of you lobotomized yourself to try and bring her back?

Common bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus
Observed by cetaceannerd, CC BY-NC
Patches! He's such a cool guy. There is still quite strong debate regarding the underlying cause of his white patches. Many say they are purely genetic markings (ie unchanging markings he has always had), however I personally have always believed it is more like a genetic mutation that prevents recolouration of scar tissue. Normally Bottlenose dolphins' skin has very good recolouration properties. Even with more serious scratches or deeper wounds, the damaged tissue regains colour so when healed, the original wound is hardly visible. It can only be felt, and a scar line seen in close up. However there are cetacean species, like the Risso's dolphin and many beaked whales, where scratches quite explicitly do not recolour. On the contrary, the smallest blemish remains a stark, pure white. In these species the tally of scratches seems to serve a social function. I wonder if Patches carries a mutation that causes something similar to happen with him. Most of his white patches seem to have the shape of rake marks, and the others (like on his dorsal fin, around his mouth and on his melon) are places where dolphins often sustain damage either from feeding or raking/social interaction.
At the same time, I have compared photos of Patches between 2008 and 2020, and he does not seem to gain many new white patches. The only ones I could quickly find when reviewing them just now are a scratch on the right side of his dorsal fin and a white spot beneath it. It seems unlikely a bottlenose dolphin would go for years without being raked more. And indeed, on some recent photos you can see rakes on him that have clearly not turned white. A very, very interesting individual!
My liege im sorry to break it to you but your advisor that's actually evil and wants you dead turned out to be straight. I know you really wanted to have an enemies to lovers situation with him. Yeah I'm afraid the poisoning didn't hold any romantic intent behind it. The king of the enemy kingdom is bisexual though, I could send him a letter? Yes, I'll make sure to include multiple threats of homoerotic nature. You will have your toxic yaoi, my liege
I cannot get this poem out of my head. It haunts me. Joyously, it haunts me.
This poem format is my favorite thing and this is the first time I’ve ever seen it’s origin story. I love it. Every time.

sorry, but you were socialized christian. I just can't trust you in a trans space
they literally taught you that trans people were subhuman and that you were better than them. I don't know if you can be trusted around other trans people
they scapegoated and abused you for showing signs of transness? uh... no? christianity is the most privileged religion there is. stop whining
importantly: even if someone did connect with Islam growing up, does continue to follow Islam, or converted to Islam as an adult, treating Arabs & Muslims & ex-Muslims like scary monsters who are inherently backwards and evil... it's garbage. just stupid, chauvinistic homonationalism at its finest.
Islam is a diverse world with over a billion followers from all corners of the globe & all walks of life. do you think gender & sexual minorities simply don't exist in that world? or that left wing / progressive thought is just totally absent? do you think repression of these things within the Islamic world is simply because Islam Bad! even though the same repression clearly reproduces itself everywhere else?
particularly coming from westerners who have no personal history with Islam, Islamophobia is just a dead giveaway that you're an incurious fool who's fallen hook line and sinker for imperialist "war on terror" propaganda. is a world where the worst extremes of imperialist violence justify themselves by dehumanizing Arabs & Muslims — failing so miserably to deconstruct those beliefs is completely unacceptable to me.
So my takeaway from this is....non-USAmericans (especially [but not limited to] white Europeans) haven't really changed their attitude towards the world around them all that much, if any, since....well the start of colonialism really
I went to my local wine shop, purchased a mid range bottle of champagne, put it on the top shelf of the fridge to chill, and will open it when it happens. And every day I open the fridge and see that bottle I will remember it might happen today, or it might not. But it will definitely happen some day.
In my fridge, in the door, is a bottle of the same bubbly my sister in law bought my spouse and me for our wedding. It’s queer branded, wrapped in a rainbow, and it is For The Occasion. Sometimes I touch the bottle and hope really, really hard.
the op linked the study in the replies & i’ve been skimming it & it’s actually rlly rlly interesting to think abt

like this sentence from the introduction alone is fucking crazy. “approximately half of adults in the united states think that torture can be acceptable in counterterrorism.” what!
Saw a post and decided to fix it ^^

I think if I put aside like, the poltical and hateful aspect of it, part of the reason people react so strongly and are so frightened of me when I’m in public is because of horror. Like. Their immediete association with a faceless human shaped figure draped in all black is more like
like straight up im pretty sure if you asked people on campus they would have a “ghost story” of their experience seeing a terrifying ghost but in reality it was just me like, getting some mail or working at night. its interesting how peoples brains in my experience jump to “holy fuck a ghost” and start screaming as being the most logical interpretation of seeing me instead of “hey maybe its a muslim woman”.
Anyways this is all to say if I saw a shadow demon or grim reaper i would probably be psyched and say “Assalam alaikum” and then go about my day.
I wanna expand a lil on this cuz its interesting and important, sorry to get a bit more heavy.
I had work today, here’s what I look like often when I go to work, sleeved black jilbab, black niqab, closed toed shoes, exam gloves, headphones.
And here’s also a picture of me, now just at a distance walking down the hallway
And a lot of people’s initial gut reactions to seeing me is fear (including screaming or backing away/turning around) and thinking I’m something scary or a ghost or monster, because I guess their more familiar and ready to believe in ghosts than realize I’m just like. A regular person. In that photo I’m literally just walking and listening to music while working as a custodian.
And like, you might say “well thats an understandable reaction, its not good but its not hurting anyone”. Straight up, in my 3 years living and working on campus, I haven’t made a single friend, no one talks to me because they’re so put off or frightened by my niqab. And each photo of me here is a photo of an exact recreation of what I was doing prior to hatecrimes I’ve experienced. Standing? Suspicious and scary. Walking by myself? Suspicious and scary. Cleaning tables? Suspicious and scary, worthy of confrontation and considering calling the police.
This is all to say like, I think people should look at how they react to seeing an all-black figure. Because if you do, it’s highly unlikely its a ghost, and more likely a normal person.
I made another post about this but I thought I should include it here so people see it.
I’ve gotten messages and tags along the lines of “I might be startled/scared at first but when I realize you’re just a person I would talk and befriend you!” which is very sweet, honestly, and many many steps ahead of how most people treat me. However, part of the post is about that, about how when people see me their immediate reaction is fear and not seeing me as a human being.
Like I said in the inital post, people’s main association with someone looking like me is horror (shadow demons, wraiths, ghosts), all black figures in media are spooky or evil otherworldly monsters. Most people’s only other exposure is islamaphobic news that again frames someone who looks like me as a scary oppressed other. When people talk about hijab bans or “burka bans” the image that has been pushed is people that look like me. There’s no big mainstream media with someone who looks like me, hell Momtaz from We Are Lady Parts is the first niqabi I’ve seen in the main cast of any media. Otherwise the only exposure to someone that looks like me is horror at best and Islamaphobic politics at worst.
The main issue that makes day to day life in America hell for me is that when people look at me, even if its just for a few seconds, they don’t see me as human. Whether people jump to thinking I’m an actual ghost, a spooky decoration (I’ve quite literally been mistaken for being part of a Halloween display), or see me as a caricature of oppression, or a terrorist, or a criminal (tons of people think I’m dressed in all black to avoid being noticed while I commit a crime, and plenty of people think my niqab makes it so I can get away with crimes) the one common thread is people do not recognize my humanity.
Sure, for some people that only lasts a few moments, but for most it lasts longer or forever. If people talk to me, they’ll likely come to realize I’m just a person, but most people don’t, and countless people only see me in passing in public, and for as long as I exist in their mind, I am never a full person. And too often I’m pressure to talk to people purely just to prove my humanity and that I‘m not some tragically oppressed person who needs saving.

HIJABI DETECTED!
I’ll never forget the time my parents said they were going out for a few hours, and left my siblings and me at home by ourselves (ages 9-14), and instead of going nuts or just sitting around, we all rushed and did our hair and makeup and got dressed as fancy as we could; sister pulled out the wine glasses and grape juice and made an hors d'oeuvres platter, another googled how to play poker, pulled out chips from a different game, dimmed the lights, and we set up a fancy 4-person gambling den at the kitchen table and played until my parents said they were on their way back with dinner. Then we quickly picked everything up, washed our faces, changed back into our casual clothes, and pretended nothing ever happened. They never found out.
