I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

Thanks to whoever tried, but I knew they'd never allow it.

Let's do it the old fashioned way. Spread it far and wide.

Reminder: you can't be the whole wall against stopping fascism by yourself. Nobody can. But you damn sure can be a brick.

There's a lot of good comments and tags in the notes, but this one is very important, I feel like it deserves some emphasis.

Part of how authoritarianism works is telling you that you can't stop it. And you can't stop it by yourself. But it wants to stop the train of thought there and let you fall into despair.

You need to remember the next part: you don't have to stop it by yourself.

You're not alone. Take care of your community and let your community take care of you. Supporting each other is so vital.

i genuinely believe that schools need to immediately expel students for using gen AI & blacklist them from any other program for at least five years, because i don’t want to fucking deal with these useless twerps being credentialed in any field whatsoever. these fucking people are going to be your lawyers. your healthcare professionals. these people who are too fucking dumb to read, who would rather blindly trust a glorified predictive text generator than spend five minutes studying or thinking on their own.

at this point, if you didn’t receive your credentials before 2020, it is infinitely safer for me to assume that your degree is hollow, your work is fake, and your knowledge nonexistent unless & until proven otherwise.

we are genuinely not mean enough about this.

there’s always someone getting huffy because THEIR braindead shortcut is justified, or shamelessly abusing the entire concept of disability accommodation to argue that substituting chatgpt for all independent thought & intellectual labor is a win for “accessibility.” we need to start shunning these people and bullying them out of public life, especially if they hold any position of responsibility.

#i asked a med student to look something up #(a time-honored method of clinical teaching) #and he typed it into chat gpt and turned his phone around to show me the answer

christ almighty. these people are going to be responsible for life or death decisions.

and they don’t have any fucking brains, because they have signed over all intellectual effort to chat gpt, so your life is in the hands of someone who can’t even be fucked to look up information from a verifiable source.

op turned off reblogs but i wanted this on my blog so i screenshotted it

Yeah.

This also means they can spy on straight people just to make sure they aren't lgbt. This is not just against gay people, it's a cover up for violating human rights. It's never just against one group of people, it's always about controlling the masses while blaming a group of people so nobody looks at the root of the problem.

everybody say thank you lain

THE CASUALNESS OF THAT COLLIE SLIPPING RIGHT OUT OF THEIR COLLAR. That dude is a Willing Participant of this walk and by god everyone else is going to follow the RULES.

im a fan of the moment where the husky is like 'wait you're not authorized to do that' and the collie is like 'THE FUCK IM NOT'

Of course is the fucking husky

so last year during a period of intense suicidal depression i made this necklace that i always wear, right, and the thing is it's genuinely brought me a lot of comfort and relief and i've developed a strong sentimental attachment to it, to the point that i can inarguably state that it's had a net positive effect on my mental wellbeing. however i did now just have to stop to almost throw up laughing because i realised that i've succumbed to the amulet.

Trumps anti-DEI crusade is causing businesses to drop progressive agendas for fear of government retaliation.

This would indicate that Corporate America was always rainbow washing with their participation in Pride events.

This is a great reminder that Corporate America is not now, has never been, and never will be on your side.

Remember this when Corporate America puts out all their meaningless hashtag pride statements in a couple of months, and don't let them get away with it. Call them out, and give your support to the people who do stand up when it matters, not just when it's convenient or profitable.
