I don't understand why anyone would want to read fiction about lgbtq+ struggling instead of being happy

because I don’t think of books as escapism I think of them as works of fiction with themes and characters

SONIC UNLEASHED

denise what are you planning, is sonic's quills gonna be the latest hairstyle of the century?

Despite all evidence to the contrary, I choose to believe that the in-universe explanation for the Werehog Battle Theme in Unleashed is that Sonic was really into jazz music during that point in his life and would play some through his earbuds every time he got into a fight.

Why did he choose the exact same song every single time? I dunno, he just really liked it. I'm sure Chip would get annoyed by it eventually, but what are you going to do? Deny the scary werehog his comfort music? What else does he have during those night time levels? Let him have this.

Together we can achieve our goal in one day and provide crucial support to my family and children in Gaza

Your contribution means everything to us and in these difficult times your kindness is our greatest hope. We are very grateful for any help you can provide and thank you for your kindness and generosity in our time of need

We have lost everything we have in Gaza from home, work and a decent life and my children have lost their most basic rights to education and treatment and not providing them with the minimum necessities of life

We live in a tent in very cold weather and in extremely difficult conditions

In these days, with the so-called ceasefire, nothing has changed for my children and my family. The situation is very tragic

My children need your generous donation that will change our lives for the better

Something I don't think we talk enough about in discussions surrounding AI is the loss of perseverance.

I have a friend who works in education and he told me about how he was working with a small group of HS students to develop a new school sports chant. This was a very daunting task for the group, in large part because many had learning disabilities related to reading and writing, so coming up with a catchy, hard-hitting, probably rhyming, poetry-esque piece of collaborative writing felt like something outside of their skill range. But it wasn't! I knew that, he knew that, and he worked damn hard to convince the kids of that too. Even if the end result was terrible (by someone else's standards), we knew they had it in them to complete the piece and feel super proud of their creation.

Fast-forward a few days and he reports back that yes they have a chant now... but it's 99% AI. It was made by Chat-GPT. Once the kids realized they could just ask the bot to do the hard thing for them - and do it "better" than they (supposedly) ever could - that's the only route they were willing to take. It was either use Chat-GPT or don't do it at all. And I was just so devastated to hear this because Jesus Christ, struggling is important. Of course most 14-18 year olds aren't going to see the merit of that, let alone understand why that process (attempting something new and challenging) is more valuable than the end result (a "good" chant), but as adults we all have a responsibility to coach them through that messy process. Except that's become damn near impossible with an Instantly Do The Thing app in everyone's pocket. Yes, AI is fucking awful because of plagiarism and misinformation and the environmental impact, but it's also keeping people - particularly young people - from developing perseverance. It's not just important that you learn to write your own stuff because of intellectual agency, but because writing is hard and it's crucial that you learn how to persevere through doing hard things.

Write a shitty poem. Write an essay where half the textual 'evidence' doesn't track. Write an awkward as fuck email with an equally embarrassing typo. Every time you do you're not just developing that particular skill, you're also learning that you did something badly and the world didn't end. You can get through things! You can get through challenging things! Not everything in life has to be perfect but you know what? You'll only improve at the challenging stuff if you do a whole lot of it badly first. The ability to say, "I didn't think I could do that but I did it anyway. It's not great, but I did it," is SO IMPORTANT for developing confidence across the board, not just in these specific tasks.

Idk I'm just really worried about kids having to grow up in a world where (for a variety of reasons beyond just AI) they're not given the chance to struggle through new and challenging things like we used to.

You don't have to think I Saw the TV Glow was an Oscar worthy film or even a good one, but the fact that Emilia Perez got 13 nominations partially on the back of being an Important Film ahout trans people (despite being made by a cis man and being generally insulting to trans people) while IStTVG - a film about the trans experience written and directed by a trans person featuring trans/nb actors and generally more well received as an important trans work by trans people - was totally left off.

It's kind of indicative of the position trans people are in in our society currently and how cis people - even "liberal" Hollywood and allies - view us.

We're a sideshow meant to be addressed through insulting mocky songs, at best.
