thinking about the history of organ transplants a little bit

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!

purple is the new black 💜

the good news: I know my process enough to recognize this as the slump that I hit in everything I write when it's like three-quarters-ish done

the bad news: the only way out is through

the good news: I do know the way out!

Out on Youtube March 20th. Link in Bio!! These two masterpieces where ALL over my mood board when I was making Waves. Black and Magical is the way I’d describe this film. Loving yourself when the world wants to hate you is the greatest power the world has ever seen. I have so many feelings about this film. Please look out for it this March! 3/20/2026, the first day of spring 💙

Because why do you expect me to care about something that you couldn't even be bothered to make yourself by using a shareholder-fueled gimmick that actively makes the world worse with:

data theft

identity fraud and harmful misinformation

hardware hoarding (RAM crisis)

wrecking the environment (insane water pollution and waste + electricity usage for data centers that's so high that nearby towns and their citizens have to pay the price)

causing corporations and studios to underpay and fire artists and other creative jobs in nearly every creative field because AI is "cheaper"

consistently shitting on the very purpose and meaning of art

eroding critical thinking skills

preying on loneliness and the addiction-prone

Fuck off with that.

Don't serve me lazy, unethically made slop and expect praise.

Funfact, I actually made my twitch stream notification jingle on BeepBox too! :D

I have seen many posts ragging on over-used phrases in fanfic, and yes, I find 'cerulean orbs' deeply strange, but if I ever said anything hateful on the topic I wish I hadn't.

You know why we say 'smirk' a lot in fic? cause its faster than 'gave a tiny smile to one side with their lips closed, a little cocky and provocative' Smirk is an easy way of saying it. It's the correct word. We say it in fic a lot because people smirk a lot in real life. Go people watch, its all over. Also. Bring me a true synonym for smirk, and I'll use that instead, but these ain't it.

If you have a better way of saying 'took off his shoes without untying them, just levered the heel with the toe of the other' that isn't saying 'he toed off his shoes' I'd love to hear it. Cause that phrase is perfect for it.

'Huffed a laugh'? Yeah, they did. Cause I'm not going to spend extra words describing how they 'exhaled through their nose once, amused, but not enough to fully laugh aloud' Its a specific action. You think people don't do that all day? five bucks says its exactly what you do when you see a meme most of the time. You didn't lol. You huffed a laugh.

The idea that something that's been used before is inherently less valuable is ridiculous. Same with the inverse.

If the phrase you want to use is common or widely used, but is the best way to communicate it? Use it. Don't fall for this trap that is currently consuming hollywood. You don't have to have a clever twist just because 'they survived and were happy' is a trope. You don't have to use some insane alternate phrase just because someone thinks fandom uses 'smirk' too much.

Happy Space to all who celebrate

Hey guys I am in fact Not Dead. I've been very busy with school but I am doing a hc/life series related project and I have discovered I have the soul of an overworked webtoon artist within me.
