#and ENRAGED

The thieves are back!

I was feeding Ryoga supper and about to go for my swim when I heard a four wheeler out back. I was in my swimsuit and didn’t have my boots and ankle braces on, so I couldn’t run through the bramble exactly, but I shouted and gave chase. I could only tell tgey were a white dude on a four wheeler.

Investigating I discovered tgey had hacked through the brush on the farm ditch and then used wire cutters to cut through the fence. And it wasn’t just done today either, damn it!

So tomorrow while it is dangerously hot I’m going to be trying to put in new fencing by myself, assuming I can find the tools after the things the thieves got. I tied it up with scrap for the night so they would know I knew at least, but what good will even new fencing do??

GAH! To be able to afford cameras or lights or something!!! Anything! I can’t guard everything alone!!! TBH I’d settle for a second set of hands with the fence repair…..

I am learnings that I'm really sensitive on the topic of names because I got really fucking devastated when most my friends said they didn't like a name that I found super cool

i'll let phie-san say it:

[zestingbloodorange]

every single palestinian deserves life ! every single palestinian deserves rights ! every single palestinian is a victim ! every age and every gender ! they don't need to be the perfect victim to prove they're victims they don't need to be a child for you to be mad and sad about their oppression, pain and death. thinking only about the children because they're the "innocent" ones is so dehumanizing.

Normalize letting trans kids live.

Every trans child on this planet deserves to be safe & supported.

Saw my first post with someone admitting they used chatGPT to ‘write a fic’ which they then shared here on tumblr and on Ao3.

To be clear, using AI to churn out a piece of fiction is not writing.

Using a bot (possibly one that was trained using a scrape of Ao3, that is to say, the theft of work from every writer who has posted their work on Ao3) is NOT WRITING.

It is theft. It isn’t creation. It’s a regurgitation of the consumed collective work and effort and heart and time of every writer who has shared their work on Ao3.

‘I’m not a good writer’ is no excuse.

Want to be a writer? Put in the time everyone else does to practice.

Don’t feel confident in your work? Open yourself up to the same vulnerability and risk that the rest of us do.

You don’t get to use a fucking bot to vomit out an approximation of a story and pretend you’ve got skin in the game.

The sad thing? This bot-assembled fic wasn’t bad. It was bland, but it had internal logic, some passing context to character and canon. It wasn’t like those early AI art pieces that had surreal compositions and extra fingers. It wasn’t immediately obvious it was made by a bot.

In this instance the person who posted it admitted they had used a bot. Which, actually, I have some respect for. But it probably isn’t the first and it won’t be the last.

I don’t know that there’s a solution to this, but it is both hurting my heart and enraging me.

Genuinely, and I mean this kindly, but learning to recognize bait and not engaging with it will change your fandom experience.

I freaking love The Great British Bake Off and I adore Good Omens (plus that whole thing with Michael Sheen peeling an onion with a potato peeler.)

So this is my “Aziraphale loses his mind over The Great British Bake Off and Everything Ends Up Terrible Like His Biscuits” series.
