Baby sphinx trying to be like mama and waylaying travelers, but all its riddles are completely non-sensical like the ones a 1st grader would tell

They should invent a way to sit hunched over doing crafts that is Good for your body

this is what it feels like to be in your late 20s

“you are not immune to propaganda” but specifically cop shows and courtroom dramas that portray acquiring evidence illegally and not executing basic rights as. like. somehow good things? the evil suspect exercising their right to remain silent is always guilty obviously and the valiant cop that broke into someone’s house or hacked into someone’s personal laptop is always the heralded hero of justice. like girl. your humanity.

i don't really want to weight in on the "using big words in your writing is ableist" discourse happening on tiktok because i'm like 90% certain it's an anti-intellectual psyop to stir up drama in online circles to promote the use of ai to summarize literally everything and thus feeding the LLMs and lowering the populace's mistrust of such tools but i also have to say: dictionaries and thesauruses are the most accessible they've ever been. if you use an e-reader of any kind you can look up a word without leaving the page. there's a plethora of online dictionaries and if you just type a word + "meaning" into google it'll usually give you a definition. we used to have pocket dictionaries we used when reading in class. i have two on my shelf right now that i used in high school. stop letting the fascists purposefully misuse anti-ableism rhetoric to trick you into never thinking again.
