psychosis isn't evil

putting yourself first

setting boundaries and saying “no”

resting and taking downtime

nourishing your body

“giving up” on things not meant for you

taking time to heal even if it’s longer than expected

failing (no matter how many times you do it)

As some of you know, I needed to have surgery this year for a health issue that has been actively ruining my life and robbing me of my joy. I'm fully insured through my company, but parts of the surgery fell through the cracks and I am not eligible for financial aid.

this year has been so hard and long and shitty and I hate having to ask for help, but I really can't see any other alternative. I am so scared and stressed

I've already started seeing Sora videos pop up on other platforms, so just know that if you see this watermark logo:

the video is AI generated. Some of them can be very convincing, so I just wanted to let people know if you haven't already heard of it.

Most of the ones trying to trick you utilize security camera or doorbell camera styles- the lower quality videos make it easier to disguise errors and blending visuals

Emotional responses are the goal. Ai videos are not interested in mundanity, they want to make you shocked or upset or in awe in order to farm engagement. RULE OF THUMB- outrageous concept + security camera style footage= ai slop

Check the profile. If you see an outrageous video and go to the uploader's profile, they're most likely going to have dozens of variations of the same video prompt (or various stolen videos which also means it's not a reliable source)

Additionally, just because a video isn't ai doesn't mean it's not fake or staged. The tells for a staged video is the filming in and of itself. Many fake vids will be filming for a good few seconds before the engaging part happens (why were they filming this seemingly mundane scene Right before something interesting happened? Why is this couple's security camera Only focused on their couch?)

Everything is uploaded for a reason, a good question to revisit is "why was this uploaded?" Most of the time the answer is either to sell you something or to incite ourtage/ similarly strong emotions so you'll interact with the video

you don't need to push yourself in order to love it. not doing it anymore doesn't mean it doesn't matter to you that much or you just aren't good enough at it. if you can find any way to make engaging in your passions more accessible, you have a right to do that. accessibility is a human right.
