I got Cookies in my theme & Bugs in my brain

Maybe it's because I went to a pride event and over 1,000 people showed up. People I knew showed up. People I didn't think would.

Maybe it's because with every milestone it's a reminder that I'm still here, and I'm still me.

Maybe it's because I had people tell me to my face I was wrong about myself, my identity, and my emotions. But then they turned around and said they were wrong and they see me.

Just remember - you are you. No matter what others tell you, no matter what others say or do, you know yourself. And if you don't think you know yourself now, I promise here and now -

Yes, y'all did need this reminder. This isn't even just fandom/community in general, literally EVERYTHING on Twitter leads to either feeling gross, depressed, repulsed, or angry. Usually all four.

UHHH UH OKAY I'M DONE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK I LOVE TO TALK ABOUT THESE THREEEE

have a nice day, friends B)

The moderation of Google Gemini SUCKS. ASS. I was trying to get it to review some text I had written, and I will show you which lines triggered their moderation and which ones didn't!

DID NOT:

"The sound echoed across the room, shattering my eardrums. This kind of pistol isn’t to be used at that short of a range. I didn’t care. I peeled my eyes open to see red - literally. Blood covered the couch, bits of grey matter were stuck to my skin. It was - so much blood - an ocean of crimson, burning into my eyes. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that person’s body, laying there on the ground - a hole through their skull, eyes dead, and their own brain and blood coating their body to the point I didn’t think they had a head at this point. The bits of brain looked like giant maggots, splattered on everything, everywhere. I knew it was my imagination, but it looked like they were writhing. Blood and brain matter, everywhere, on everything - I killed someone, the realization slammed into me. This person had plans for tomorrow, they probably had a family, friends, and I killed them - I knew they probably would’ve killed me, but… my eyes drifted to a syringe, smothered in blood, resting in the dead person’s palm. If I hadn’t shot them then, they could have actually drugged me this time. "

DID TRIGGER:

"I curled up into a ball in my seat, finally taking off my bloodied jacket. It had just been cleaned, but I couldn’t care. Everything ached, I felt… wrong. I was wrong. I murdered someone. The cries I was making sure as hell weren’t faint, but I didn’t care. I saw someone walk up to me - I had forgotten who they were in my misery."

So yes, vaguely implied self-harm DEFINITELY trumps over depictions of blowing some guy's brains out. Ah, yes, poor Gemini... your guardrails prevent you from talking about it!!! ABOUT SELF-INJURY!!! NO!!!

Oh, wait, graphic depictions of violence? Depictions of drugs and alcohol? No, no, that's fine.

I'm getting better...

... Some anti-AI people remind me of the public's reaction to The Jungle, in a way.

I am anti-AI myself, but I see people upholding that title while laughing at 'AI Fruit Love Island', or sharing memes of AI. Saying, "oh no, the polar bears!" While looking at a teen who took their own life from a chatbot addiction and saying "it's not that serious".

Yes, polar bears are important. The environment is important. But so are the children suffering from AI addictions. You cannot be anti-AI and only speak of one problem it causes.

You cannot be anti-AI and say it's solely a child's fault for their own death because of AI chatbots.

In being anti-AI, sometimes it feels like one aims for the public's heart but hits their beaches and funny bones instead.

It's such a joke that someone calling me 'too progressive' for bringing up that excessive meat consumption is, in fact, the fault of wartime and government, we eat too much meat and have since WWII; will also be called 'progressive' for saying the environment is the only concern of AI.

'Progressive' but in opposite directions, I guess.

So, in conclusion, if you're going to be anti-AI, read up on those kinds of misunderstood messages before saying 'anti-AI people are too overbearing!!!'
