I may have gotten possessed lol i read a fic recently and it just would not leave my head. Said fic was also inspired by a tik tok by @hmmpup which i may have also gone insane over as i drew this. I dont usually do shipping art but i feel its been long over due anyways

If you put a dish in a dishwasher, it gets washed. If you put a shirt in a dishwasher, it gets shredded and breaks the machine.

Maybe you are not weak. They just put you into the wrong washer.

Heterosexual relationship culture is so alien to me and I don’t know if it’s the fact I’m not cishet or the fact I’m autistic but I hear so many things that make me go “Am I insane or are they?”

There’s a lot of hate on widowers and I saw a woman say “You cannot compete with a dead woman.” which is perhaps a reasonable statement to say if he’s constantly comparing you to his dead partner but that wasn’t what the post was about. And I realized “Oh my God, these people genuinely feel like they’re constantly in competition with their spouse’s exes and the ex being dead makes them feel insecure that they cannot best her.”

There’s also been an uptick in the ‘men and women cannot be ‘just’ friends’ rhetoric which I feel like is extremely dangerous and reflects the rise of fascism and sexism. Some of these stories of women feeling threatened by their husband’s female best friend have some merit and others are like “I feel angry that my husband still talks to the girl he grew up next door to and she and her wife are invited to family gatherings and included in family photos sometimes. Am I right to be suspicious?” No. No you’re not. I cannot imagine being you and living with that high level of stress and paranoia and constant torment and jealousy about your husband having a positive relationship with anyone who isn’t you.

“it’s ableist to be against AI art” “it’s ableist to assume disabled people can’t make art without AI” actually it’s ableist that you fuckheads keep dragging disability into this debate without bothering to treat disabled people like human beings at all in this process. it’s ableist that you keep using disabled artists as inspiration porn (anti-AI version) and it’s also ableist that you keep acting like someone isn’t a real human if they can’t make art and it’s all shitty and awful and shut. the. fuck. up.

i think if youre willing to make a callout post about someone then you NEED to own the fact that you're opening them up to harrasment. none of this "well we told people not to go after them, its not our fault people saw our callout and start making death threats, we didn't endorse that!!" like okay yeah you may not have asked for it, but you have to know it's a risk. ESPECIALLY with people in demographics that are prone to witch hunts (ie. trans women especially.)

you need to look at the information you're collecting and consider what's really relevant, what's fair, and whether there are alternatives before you push the nuclear button. and if you still think it's the best option and you want to go ahead? then like, fair enough, that's your decision, i can't stop you. but at least stick to your guns and don't act surprised if you ruin someone's life. i don't think that kind of thing should ever be a decision taken lightly yknow.

there's been plenty of pushback against youtube's plan to age-check users by using an AI to analyze everyone's watching habits, but amidst that, i spotted this playlist circulating among some teens:

(picture is a reconstruction to protect the kids identity)

interesting! they're trying to trick the AI by watching videos that have a primarily adult viewer demographic? well im a curious fella so naturally i have to take a look-see, and
