Happy new year 2025, everyone!
New year, new me! I’ll try to spend less time on the phone, so I’ll be on Tumblr less often. So don’t worry if I don’t post a lot anymore, I’m just doing a “tech detox” (détox numérique).
I want to sleep better at night and to stop doomscrolling. I’ll read more, write more and watch more movies 💙
It is not enough to get into a comfy sleeping position- one must go through several and spin like a rotisserie chicken to arrive at the position you started with.
Idgaf if you don’t want to write essays for school. I don’t care if you don’t want to write corporate emails yourself. I don’t care if you can’t draw well, I don’t care if you can’t write well, I don’t care if you just really really want to talk to your favorite fictional character but don’t want to RP with a real person because you have social anxiety or whatever
If you’re still regularly using generative ai, chatgpt or midjourney or character.ai or literally whatever the fuck, im personally blaming you when my utility prices start going up.
Why would utility prices go up because of ai?
(I am not defending the usage of generative AI/ChatGPT/Character.ai etc etc i am very much against it - I am just curious as to the correlation between using it and utility price surge please don’t come at me this is a genuine question)
ChatGPT uses 1-3 bottles of water for cooling for every query you put into it. This is FRESH WATER, which is evaporated and eventually mostly returns to the ocean, effectively removing a lot of it from our already dwindling fresh water supply on the planet. It also consumes 17 THOUSAND TIMES more electricity than the average American home.
More AI use = more data centers = power drain on local cities = gas, electricity, and water utility prices rise because all of our resources are being funneled into a machine that makes garbage
tumblr users when tumblr offers premium and little badges and thingies to purchase: ew no gross sellout, bad tumblr!
tumblr users when tumblr has to put shitty ads everywhere to keep it running otherwise: ew gross no bad why is this happening??? stop
tumblr users when tumblr is laying off staff: omfg boycott bad naughty why would you do this?!
tumblr users when tumblr is shutting down or being sold because its current owners can no longer afford to be run it: omg no, there’s nowhere else like tumblr online; it’s so special and beautiful and unique and unlike other shitty apps; how could this happen??? what can we do to stop this???
If you like tumblr and want it to continue existing, you might try throwing them a couple bucks now and again to keep the lights on
okay but if you ever see a male creative who had a string of great work and then everything else he did was dogshit, go to the “personal life” part of his wikipedia and look at his relationships. you’ll either find a major tragedy he didn’t recover from (completely understandable) or, more likely, there was a woman in his life doing uncredited shit editing his stuff or contributing generally and she’s not there anymore.
I told a friend about this phenomenon in literature and he called me weeks later like, I remembered what you said about women doing uncredited work when tim burton came up. he made a string of bangers then everything else just was nowhere near as good. the timeline matches perfectly to when he was with this german visual artist (lena gieseke). he’s done some good work in collaboration, but if things were dug into I suspect we would find she did a lot more than people realise.
so yeah whenever you look around like wow women didn’t work in history, or, women aren’t auteurs, or, there just aren’t as many great female writers - societal reasons for that aside, half the time they absolutely did.
“we don’t have girl talk, we have creature talk,” my roommate Julia just said while rolling on the floor, “put that on your fucking tumblr, they’ll love that shit”
she just asked how many notes this post has and I told her eighteen and with restrained glee she said “this is going to do horrible things to my ego”
I’m out of town rn but I told her this broke 500 notes and sent her some of yall’s tags
Hey op why is the contact icon a T if their name is Julia? *condescending tone* do you have your roommate saved as “trash” in your phone?
