#BUT IT STILL PISSES ME OFF

[the-nanowrimo-chronicles]

So now that it’s been a few days since Nano announced its closure can we agree that the AI issue was secondary to the multiple incidents of grooming on both the main Nanowrimo site and the young writers program, and to refer to the AI scandal over the literal years worth of crimes facilitated by the site, from the lack of regulation of their YWP classrooms, to the months it took them to remove a predator from their forum moderation team, is ignoring the real issues, and that this pattern of reporting, well over a year since these issues were brought to light, is to ignore why Nanowrimo closed in the first place?

We can agree that they closed because of wide scale failures that created a hotbed for child grooming and other forms of abuse, not because of an overnight AI incident, right?

I HATE people who gatekeep media based on which version of it you like. It’s to prevalent in the outsiders fandom of people bashing the musical fans because they may have been introduced to the story through the musical or they might only like the musical, and it’s so annoying. Fandoms are not just for people who like the media in the same way as you and you actually need to shut the fuck up about it

What I absolutely despise about the internet is how they are willing to demonize those who know their grammar and punctuation.

Like dude, just because other people know better English than you, it DOES NOT MEAN that they are using chatgpt. Using more sophisticated vocabulary or your em dashes in your posts/comments does not indicate that you are a bot.

AI text has its tells, I agree. But those tells are mostly certain phrases not their grammar/vocabulary. I see certain posts get accused of being AI even though there is no indication of AI in those posts.

This does not mean I am demonising those who don't use proper grammar because it's texting and sometimes we are too damn tired to follow the rules of english. But some people are meticulous about these sort of things and I don't get why we accuse them of being bots.

No, actually I am angry. I like musicals, I like them a lot. I love Hamilton and Ride the Cyclone and Heathers and Be More Chill and Six and every musical I've loved, I've loved while they were off Broadway or after the original cast had left, or like I was 12 when I liked that show. There had never been a way for me to go and see it while they were performing.

And I'm sitting here, in my bedroom in Canada, knowing that with my job I could clearly save up enough money to buy a ticket to The Outsiders and I could get on a plane and if I put the date as far back as September I'd have my passport in time and it would be my first time ever leaving the country! Ah! And my first time on a plane! And I could see mt favorite show, the one I've been obsessing over for months.

But I can't.

Because my sibling and my mother begged me not to go. Because there are warnings not to go to the States. Because I am visibly queer and that makes me an easier target.

And I also think about the POC cast who might also be targeted for their race.

America, you fucking suck.

i hate Robert Lightwood. like i knew this was coming. i knew what happened between him and michael, I've read it before, but I forgot how selfish he was. they were parabatai and Michael trusted him enough to come out to him and he hurts him and says he's disgusting just to save himself and his image

Hate that clearing your throat is considered rude. Sometimes your throat is tight and you just need to clear it so bad.

Being an adult sucks

Man I gotta love the American Government 🙃

Acknowledging that I “have issues” with my health and mental health and think the only kind of work I could possibly handle would be assembly line, while completely ignoring the fact that repetitive motions would only make my pain worse and my mental health tank, I still don’t qualify for disability or any social security financial help. Or unemployment.

What.

[daisies-on-a-cup]

some of yall will rewrite the fabric of the universe and pull every excuse you can out of your ass to explain away the actions of a man, but won’t hesitate to call a woman who DID THE SAME THINGS every name under the sun and think the absolute very worst of her

Twenty-six letters in the Alphabet, and we couldn't even manage to come up with seven names for the days of the week that all have different first letters...

My partner and I are finally(!!!) moving into our own place together and looking for future/decor so far has been an…….Experience.

Everything looks exactly the same, all the furniture is sourced from the same warehouses in China and nothing is made by real designers anymore. The only colors allowed are white, off-white, beige, cream, grey, the most desaturated green you’ve ever seen, navy, and sometimes black. If by some miracle there are other color options available they WILL be sold out because everyone is so desperate for other colors.

Everyone is trying to pull one over on you and trick you into buying things that are absolutely shit quality for a genuinely silly amount of money. A bunch of companies seem to have decided that standard sizing on bedding is dumb so if you buy anything from them you have to buy everything from them (ikea, you fucking bitch).

Anyways shout out second hand furniture. If you get a banged up wooden dresser on Facebook marketplace, and sand then re-stain/paint it, it will look better than any $250 ‘manufactured wood’ thing you buy. And double shout out to my parents for keeping all their old really nice dishware from the 90’s for me when they redid the kitchen. They are absolute real ones for that.
