I think the thing that annoys me most about AI on a personal, day to day, level is what it has done to grammar checkers. If you've never done a lot of editing, or used to 5+ years ago but haven't really in the last couple years, I can't even begin to describe how fucking BAD this shit has gotten. And as an author it is EXHAUSTING.
I just want to catch spelling errors and accidental double spaces and repeated phrases and whenever I use the wrong too/to or affect/effect and shit. But no. They've shoved AI up the ass of every grammar checking software out there and now they all fucking suck and make the most random, obnoxious, nonsensical suggestions.
And yeah, I can ignore all the times it's trying to get me to cut out any semblance of my own voice, or shove things into the wrong tense, or make the most random suggestions on comma usage. But if it's getting all that WRONG, what is it just straight up missing that I SHOULD be correcting? What real spelling and grammar errors are still lurking in there?
Okay, so I don't spend a ton of time using these features, but more than a lot of people, because I'm in school and so I have to write papers, emails, etc. I thought I was going crazy because the suggestions just.. do not make any fucking sense. Increasingly over the past few years (started back to college in 2023), Word and Outlook are both making terrible suggestions, and I don't get it because I've been using Word since the late '90s and it has never been as bad as it is now...
Did they add AI to Micro$oft's products? I already turn off Copilot, but is there anywhere else to turn off AI?
Disabling copilot will turn off the generative AI features, mostly, but the problem isn't coming directly from generative AI. It is coming from where these grammar checkers are pulling their data from, because they are essentially crowdsourcing their data now, rather than relying on real, determined rules.
You CAN make it somewhat better in Word at least by going to File>Options>Proofing>Writing Style>Settings, which will open up this big long list:
Unchecking everything from the "clarity" and "conciseness" sections will get rid of A LOT of the suggestions that try to really change your voice. It won't fix a lot of the stupid ass suggestions it makes for other stuff, but it at least gets rid of a bunch of the distracting junk.
However, the settings never seem to stick for me so I have to go back in and check this list pretty often, sometimes even in one editing session where I haven't closed and reopened the document at all.
Yes, the spelling/grammar check has grown increasingly horrible, but Microsoft DID add AI a couple years ago and didn't tell its customers!
I have a shit computer and was wondering why Microsoft Word was basically unusable and it's because the AI takes up so much more processing power than normal, it was basically crashing my system.
BUT!
You can delete the AI without affecting the rest of the program.
Instructions under the cut cause they got long.
Thanks for the tip!
I'm now wondering if Apple also did this. Because my autocorrect has gotten so weird, it'll do stuff like....
Jack lived in a big brown house, and in that house was a big brown dog, and on that Dog Oregon was <- in which case the last bit should have been "on that dog were big brown fleas," and I might have mistyped as "dgo" or "dogwere."
I've been thinking it was something wrong with my phone. I'm questioning that now.
Alright this is going to be a very controversial thing to say but.
I really and truly believe that the "treat yourself" culture and people living well above their means and going into a ton of debt just to have fun and live lives of luxury with no regard for the future is a form of passive suicidal ideation. I am only now dragging myself out of a hole of suicidal ideation after being in it since my very early teens and the idea that what you do now doesn't matter because you don't have a future is like. Classic passive suicidal ideation. You aren't actively planning to hurt yourself, you don't actively want to die, but subconsciously or not, you are envisioning a future where you do not exist.
"It doesn't matter if I max out a dozen credit cards because I don't have a future anyway." Okay, why? Why don't you have a future? Where are you in this mystery future where none of your actions now can touch you? I am not trying to be mean, but I need people to really think about this and realize that they are setting up a future for themselves where they are not present and there's only one way that can happen.
Talk to a therapist. Get help. Build a support system. Reach out to your friends and loved ones living like this and express your concern. If they aren't willing to listen, fine. Lots of people living with passive suicidal ideation don't want to listen or acknowledge they have a problem. But maybe they will listen. At least you've tried either way.
It's so scary and horrifying to see this become so common among younger generations and so much of it is because our economy is in the fucking trash. People see how difficult it is to buy a house, get a job they can survive off, get a job that makes going to college worth it, start a family, pay off loans and debts, buy groceries, etc and it's filling them with a horrific and deep existential dread. It's so easy to overspend and get into debt when you can't see a future where saving will ever be worth it, where you will ever face any consequences for spending recklessly now.
And again, that is a form of suicidal ideation. A future where you face no consequences and where you can't benefit from savings is a future where you are dead. Full stop. End of statement. Get help.
I've seen this pop up when I talk about Roth IRAs and 401Ks and such, especially among younger people. "I'm never going to be able to retire, I'm going to have to work until I die, so why should I try to save for retirement?"
I started smoking at fifteen because it didn't matter, I figured I'd never make it to twenty-five, why should I care about cancer? (classic passive suicidal ideation).
I'm turning forty this year and I really really wish I'd been aware how much building up debt would fuck me and what options there were for me to save when I was younger.
You probably aren't going to die before you retire. You are probably going to live past the age where you will be able to work. There is a tomorrow and we want you in it and we want you to be okay.
Talk to someone. Be kind to your future self and the people who love you in the future.
Also, as someone who's learning to become a financial educator: LITTLE SAVINGS, WITH THE PROPER AMOUNT OF INTEREST, WILL TAKE YOU SO FUCKING FAR. Put away $50 a month every month, and by the time you're in your 60s, if you have good interest rates and at least 25 years until retirement, if you just let it grow, you will have SOME nest egg to sit on. And the compound interest continues to grow. Save when you're young. Take care of your future self. You will be here for it.
Happy Pride Month!

Kingdom Come Deliverance, but Redwall.
Florence Welch, 2023 ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ
International Whores' Day (International Sex Workers' Day for the non sex workers!) is coming up on June 2nd. This year is extra special because it's the 50th Anniversary of the event that lead to this day - the 10-day occupation of St. Nizier Church by over 100 prostitutes in Lyon, France. They hung up a banner over the church stating: "Our children don't want their mothers in prison."
They decided to go on strike and occupy this church in response to murders and police crackdowns which were putting them in more danger. These women selling sex were being threatened with arrest and fined by police who weren't looking for the people killing them. Demands included an end to anti-prostitution laws.
This occupation had an effect all across France, with sex workers in Paris and elsewhere also staging their own occupations, and their actions had a global impact in catalysing a pushback from sex workers on their conditions and the police.
In 1982, the ECP (English Collective of Prostitutes) took inspiration from those in Lyon and occupied Holy Cross Church for 12 days, protesting racism and police harassment of sex workers with a particular focus on mothers who were selling sex to make ends meet.
It's been 50 years and sex workers are still fighting for the same rights and against the same police brutality and racism and stigma.
We want the full decriminalization of prostitution. We want an end to discrimination against sex workers. We want sex working parents to get support, not have our children taken away.
Yesterday, on 2 June 2025 (as any year) was International Sexworkers Pride Day! โ๏ธโค๏ธ
It's the anniversary of the church occupation and strike in Lyon St. Nizier (France) in 1975 when more than 100 sex workers and allies occupied it for 8 days in order to protest mostly against (police) violence and discrimination but also against stigma, oppression and criminalization of sex work. Still their actual request wasn't decriminalization but instead "รgalitรฉ, Libertรฉ, Fraternitรฉ" (Equality, Freedom, Brotherhood/ Sisterhood) the slogan of the French Revolution.
50 years later this fight isn't over yet! Sex work is still criminalized in most countries worldwide by either prohibiting all aspects of it or for example by client criminalization which is often promoted as a "progressive model to help sex workers" (also known under "Nordic Model"). In fact, this isn't progressive at all as it not only furthers the stigma sex workers experience but also leads to eviction from homes, deportations of migrants, more police controls and violence (the opposite of ACAB kinda) and other discriminations which in total produce very unsafe working conditions.
The only country with full decriminalization of sexwork is Belgium where it was introduced in 2022 and now grants sexworkers full workers rights such as health insurance, paid vacation and sick days, retirement pensions etc.
In New Zealand sexwork is decriminalized if the sexworker has NZ citizenship.
Therefore: Rights not rescue! Only rights can stop the wrongs! Decriminalization now! โ๏ธ

today is international whores' day!
"On June 2nd, 1975, over 100 sex workers began an 8-day occupation at the Saint-Nizier Church in Lyon, France. They demanded the end of fines, stigma, police harassment, and the release of ten sex workers who had been imprisoned a few days earlier for soliciting. This occupation was initiated to call attention to the increasing violence against sex workers perpetrated by the French government. It was widely reported both nationally and internationally, receiving support from labor and feminist organizations alike. On June 10th, after 8 days of occupation, the police forcibly removed the women from the church, but their impact marked the start of an international movement." - History, IWD LA
today (and every day) is a good day to learn from sex workers about decriminalization, our activism, and how to support us.
check out the Sex Work Syllabus from the Support Ho(s)e Collective and donate to their ongoing mutual aid campaigns.
read Girls do what they have to do to survive by the Young Women's Empowerment Project.
Donate to SWOP Behind Bars to support incarcerated sex workers.
get involved in harm reduction and decrim activism in your local community.
support the sex workers in your life!!
