im honestly surprised (not really surprised considering what website this is) that i haven't seen anyone on here talk about Lil Nas X getting violently arrested after suffering some kind of mental health episode. I wish he was getting more attention and support.

If y’all needed any more proof that AI chatbot apps are extremely predatory and intentionally exploit vulnerable people…

For context, I have been open on this account about my chatbot addiction. I developed a parasocial dependency to using Character AI and similar apps despite them being detrimental to my mental health and quality of life in general. I downloaded CAI again today to finally wipe my account and discourage myself from relapsing, and this fucking text came up while I was confirming the deletion.

The developers of these apps are not your friends, they are exploiting you. They are manipulating your emotions and fostering dependency to keep you addicted to their product. No matter how much they claim to care and be “risk aware,” they absolutely do not.

(Image ID: a screenshot of the Character AI account deletion confirmation screen. The popup reads: “…you sure about this? You’ll lose everything. Characters associated to your account, chats, the love that we shared, likes, messages, posts, and the memories we have together. This action cannot be undone!” Below this block of text is a username entry box, used to confirm account deletion.)

look I've harped on this before but I think it's worth doing again. if you put "cis men dni" you are forcing trans men to out themselves to interact with you and that's shitty. you're also making eggs and closeted transfems feel worse about themselves and making the distance between womanhood/femininity and themselves feel that much wider and unassailable. (source: me) you're ALSO making recently out/early stages of transition/just very insecure trans women feel like shit, and probably desperately consider what the difference is between themselves and men, and they likely won't interact with you either. (source: me again) also yk what I get it kind of if ur making sapphic posts or whatever but sometimes it just isn't necessary. sometimes it genuinely is just shitty to cis men too and it promotes a weird ass culture of bioessentialism. just. you're showing a message. and it's maybe not the one you think you are, or the one you want.

This legitimately hurts my heart

really cannot emphasise enough that "All Men Bad" and "masculinity is inherently violent, dangerous, and evil" are load-bearing pillars of radfeminism and these ideas cannot have a place in any truly progressive queer theorising.

I just stumbled across this and wanted to share it widely. If this standard is adopted, it has the power to be a monumental game-changer in healthcare. There is a ton of research showing how dramatically effective respirators are in preventing disease transmission.

I believe anyone can submit a comment even if they're not Canadian (I'm not and I'm planning to), so please consider doing so regardless of where you live!

More info from the World Health Network (WHN) who also made these graphics:

Canada is on the verge of adopting a national standard requiring N95s in healthcare settings and for patient care outside of healthcare settings (e.g., home care)—and your voice can help make it happen. This proposed Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standard would: - Require N95s (or equally protective alternatives) for all healthcare workers, patients, and visitors. - Protect the most vulnerable. - Set a historic global precedent for clean air in healthcare. The CSA is accepting public comments until August 19. Submitting your comment takes just a few minutes and could make a global impact. Submit your comment here.

More details are available on this WHN website page, which has instructions (with screenshots!) and sample statements to help you write a comment.

Do No Harm BC also has a step-by-step guide on getting involved, template answers to make commenting easier, and an overview of everything that's super easy for the layperson to follow. They also have this info in French.

Since it's mid-august it's time for a reminder for the DIY folks or those who like to cosplay

Not sure how you could interpret this information as landlords being the ones facing a crisis, but go off.

Good morning it’s a beautiful day to think about your OC smooching a canon character

PSA: AO3 HAS BEEN INFECTED WITH AI BOT COMMENTS.

Have you seen one of these dipshits? If you post regularly on ao3, chances are YES, but more likely you didn't notice nor suspect it was a bot. Sometimes they start off nice, or even praise you before getting nasty out of nowhere, like so:

But much like Grok, their newest obsession is nazism.

I don't know where they come from, or what purpose this could possibly serve other than suicidebaiting random people in the internet, I guess; but apparently they've started parroting names from real users to send these comments and shifting their general length to go by undetected. Maybe those are scrappers trying to train 'reviewbots' to be sold as part of some scam service promising to give feedback for newbie writers, who the fuck knows.

Here are more examples of the tone and backhanded compliments you can find in these:

If you regularly post on AO3 or interact with writers in it, please pass this along so they don't feel insane receiving bombs in their inbox. This is ridiculous.

This blog is pro tits and anti Nazi

God working in higher ed right now is dire. Got a welcome back email from the CAO that went 1) use AI. use it. why aren't you using it right now?? 2) remember if ICE shows up you can't be mean to them 3) we have to scrub all mentions of diversity out of the curriculum because the governor will get mad at us on twitter again
