I just saw a response to a lovely original post about making humane arguments against the use of genAI as a substitute for academic work that said (inter alia):

"can we please stop legitimizing idea that either most people who are in school are there to learn or that they should be coerced into [learning] if they're not?"

Great Caesar's ghost. Stop "legitimizing" the idea that the university is *checks notes* an academic institution? An institution of *checks notes again* higher education? The purpose of which is to *checks notes yet again* help students learn? I say again: great Caesar's ghost. Counterpoint: Stop ceding the corporate takeover of the university! Stop ceding the commodification of education! Stop viewing education as a product/commodity rather than a process!

I just wanted to make a post showcasing some of my favorite illustrations by Keith Thompson for the Leviathan Trilogy.

The art went so hard in these books, it’s crazy. The plot is basically an alternate universe WW1 about the major two powers, the Darwinists, and the Clankers. The Darwinists genetically engineered animals to fight for them creating huge flying whale battleships, while the Clankers made huge robot mechs and powerful guns. A few historical people and places show up in these books, like Nikola Tesla.

But my favorite parts of the books were the art, truly breathtaking, it was beautifully grotesque at times. But that’s not unexpected, after all Keith Thompson helped create the design of Moder from The Ritual!

rules to using tumblr

your first thought is always correct

everyone has bad intentions

jumping to conclusions is good

always assume somebody is evil based on weak or no evidence

always extrapolate everyone's imprecise and/or broad language to make them out to have said some heinous shit

With Kamala/Walz going up DAILY, I've seen more people talking about voting third party/Jill Stein (EW) and I believe the above screencaps from @three--rings can explain WHY Third Party votes NEVER work NOR is this the election to screw around in.

Everyone....like she says above.....PLEASE LEARN FROM HISTORY!!!

(Because if Trump gets in, he's NEVER LEAVING).

Not telling your kid they have a learning disability, chronic illness, mental illness etc. so they can “feel normal” actually does the opposite. They will not feel normal if they do not have the context to understand that their normal will be different from that of their peers.
