Under the Sea 🌊

but if u have to say goodbye be careful not to lose control

Hey artists, C. Spike Trotman, founder of Iron Circus Comics, just posted an invaluable thread on depicting different types of black hair. I’d do the thing where you screencap the whole thread and post it but it’s just too long (which is great because it’s a whole lot of useful information!) Give her a follow while you’re there.

Let me just open up that bad boy to my birthday and see my cool space vis---

Worth it for the Reflection Nebula NGC 1333 and this paragraph:

Within a 10-15min walk, I could get to 2 different larger malls that had facilities such as a library and connects directly to the subway station, a light rail station and a bus interchange.

I could literally wake up at 2a.m. and walk to the 7-Eleven to get a slushie and a sandwich if I wanted. That was how convenient it was. I didn't need to spend hours commuting to and from the doctor's if I didn't feel well enough for work.

Grocery shopping is a part of many people's daily routine. We go to the market or supermarket on the same day we plan to cook.

And this is common here. We're a small city state, true, so the closeness of everything is kinda forced on us, but even so, neighborhoods are planned in such a way that everyone can easily access a variety of goods and services without too much hassle. And we do use little carts! They're useful and practical things!

Please note that everything is my own work. I don't let AI write for me. The words are mine and the story is mine. I write it in my native language first and then translate it into English. So, should I classify my stories using AI-specific tags?

Do the smear campaigns also include me? 🥲

my opinion on what counts as ai-generated fic is when the fic in question was created from start to finish by ai, without any human input (except for the prompt).

if a human writes the work themself and only uses ai as a tool to help them with grammar or translation then, even though I may not personally agree with their choice — if we are not talking about the ethical aspects of it — it’s the same as asking google (which is basically ai now) or a human beta reader for help. (some may argue that ai is unethical and unreliable, and that’s true, but what you choose to do is your business and something you can decide for yourself.) overall, as long as you write the fic yourself, the work is still something you create. as a human.

I’d say there may be other ai-free sites that offer free translation, but I don’t know where to find them or how accurate/reliable they are, or if they are able to smoothly translate the entire fic. I also unfortunately don’t know where to find a human beta reader that can translate from your native language to english for free (beware of scams if you ever want to consider asking strangers you don’t know for their help with this, fandom and writing space are unfortunately full of scammers who claim that they beta read or translate works for others, but they’re actually scammers; so I don’t blame people for resorting to other ways of getting help with their fics, even if it’s ai). so if you want to be honest, you can say “translated to english by ai, but the original version in my native language is human-made by me”.

Mir ist grade ein (etwas düsteres) Licht aufgegangen.

Wir müssen Merz behalten! Wenn jetzt Neuwahlen kommen weil wir ihn erfolgreich aus dem Amt ekeln, kriegen wir Probleme.

Wenn wir ihn dagegen dahin mobben, ein AfD-Verbotsverfahren anzustreben, und das Erfolg hat, dann können wir in aller Seelenruhe Petitionen für die Vertrauensfrage einreichen.

Lets go Verbotsverfahren!

Je eher es kommt, desto eher können wir Fritzchen loswerden.

Ich habe neulich Mails an meine Abgeordneten geschickt, sich doch bitte mit dem GFF-Gutachten auseinanderzusetzen, und ich habe tatsächlich von allen Antworten bekommen, dass sie ein Verbotsverfahren unterstützen - allerdings lebe ich auch in einer sehr linksgrünversifften Gegend.

Ich kann euch nur ermutigen, das auch zu tun, vor allem wenn ihr in Unions-Wahlkreisen lebt.

Hier ist ein Tool, mit dem das super easy geht! Nur wenige Klicks, ihr müsst nichts selber formulieren.

Schon über 90.000 Mails, aber da geht noch mehr!

YES i love it when adrian is way bigger than rocky uh here's my take on rocky and adrian
