This is vital. Writing helps us think. So many students are saying they turn to LLMs because they don’t know what to say, and need to hear that not knowing is normal as one starts to write.

Do you need to know what you think before you start writing? Not necessarily, argues historian Lynn Hunt. In a 2010 #AHAPerspectives essay, Hunt explores how the act of writing itself generates new ideas and why getting words on the page is essential to the thinking process.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

As ever, three quarters of "look at this asshole" is always "look at this". Don't do PR for the fash. Don't give free advertising to the worst bastards. There is no dunk witty enough to warrant amplifying their hate.

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

Idk if this has been done before but I shoved two interests together to practise lighting but really I just had fun with it. #ffxiv

"Can you please watch it?" No. It's unethical, and I don't need to see it to know that.

Ava DuVernay's 14th, about the 14th Amendment, uses AI to animate old photos that are in the public domain, and the filmmaker wants people to see the documentary for themselves before deciding how they feel about it. tinyurl.com/c6nj6vf7

This is extremely important. We weren't fighting to bring fascism down, we were fighting to LIFT EACH OTHER UP HIGHER. Fascism falls as a consequence. They want to take our joy because joy is what kills them. You lose if you forget this.

I need to stress this part: Instead of letting our anger lead us, we focused on work and joy. Anger creates rifts and makes us easy to bait. But they can't take the joy of your effort when you're focused on doing your part and lifting each other up. Winning or losing, it feels worth doing.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

I think artists and sex workers should have a natural allyship. Both of us are often told we should not be allowed to charge for our work if it is at all pleasurable. Both of us are wanted for what we can do, but our work is considered not worth paying for. We should stick together

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Also, there is an AI report tool now. I suggest everyone uses it when browsing the site so we can show Etsy were both sick of this and shops scamming us with products that don't look like the real thing

Just a reminder to all the indie devs: You can just post a link to your game when you mention it. In fact, attaching a link and thumbnail beneath doesn't even add to the character count. This isn't Twitter. You won't be suffocated in your sleep by the algorithm here. There is no algorithm here.

I also feel obliged to point out that after Nintendo released the Wii U to commercial failure, in order to prevent layoffs, Satoru Iwata took a 50% pay cut. That should be a reminder that while 400 ppl lost their jobs, Andrew Wilson never took a pay cut to prevent it.
