Why the hell do terfs seem to love Morticia Addams so much. How the fuck is she their icon in any conceivable way. She is literally married to a man whom she loves and took his last name. And she is passionately uninterested in judging other people for whatever the fuck they’re doing.
The corpse of Lord Percival of the Round Table could reanimate in the basement and clamber up the stairs to announce “you know I always wanted to be a woman, I never got the chance to try that when I was alive”, and Morticia would just go “oh that’s nice dear. Let’s see if I have some dresses that would suit you, if you’re planning to stay.”

friend just told me that he and his siblings used to play a game called “abraham lincoln and the slimy slug” wherein one person is abraham lincoln, with a full range of motion, and one person is a slimy slug inside a sleeping bag
and they would fight. and of course abraham lincoln would just beat the absolute shit out of the slimy slug
Whenever I think about students using AI, I think about an essay I did in high school. Now see, we were reading The Grapes of Wrath, and I just couldn’t do it. I got 25 pages in and my brain refused to read any more. I hated it. And its not like I hate the classics, I loved English class and I loved reading. I had even enjoyed Of Mice and Men, which I had read for fun. For some reason though, I absolutely could NOT read The Grapes of Wrath.
And it turned out I also couldn’t watch the movie. I fell asleep in class both days we were watching it.
This, of course, meant I had to cheat on my essay.
And I got an A.
The essay was to compare the book and the movie and discuss the changes and how that affected the story.
Well it turned out Sparknotes had an entire section devoted to comparing and contrasting the book and the movie. Using that, and flipping to pages mentioned in Sparknotes to read sections of the book, I was able to bullshit an A paper.
But see the thing is, that this kind of ‘cheating’ still takes skills, you still learn things.
I had to know how to find the information I needed, I needed to be able to comprehend what sparknotes was saying and the analysis they did, I needed to know how to USE the information I read there to write an essay, I needed to know how to make sure none of it was marked as plagerized. I had to form an opinion on the sparknotes analysis so I could express my own opinions in the essay.
Was it cheating? Yeah, I didn’t read the book or watch the movie. I used Sparknotes. It was a lot less work than if I had read the book and watched the movie and done it all myself.
The thing is though, I still had to use my fucking brain. Being able to bullshit an essay like that is a skill in and of itself that is useful. I exercised important skills, and even if it wasnt the intended way I still learned.
ChatGTP and other AI do not give that experience to people, people have to do nothing and gain nothing from it.
Using AI is absolutely different from other ways students have cheated in the past, and I stand by my opinion that its making students dumber, more helpless, and less capable.
However you feel about higher education, I think its undeniable that students using chatgtp is to their detriment. And by extension a detriment to anyone they work with or anyone who has to rely on them for something.
no actually i don’t think antivaxxers’ kids should die from a disease. i don’t think gun advocates’ kids should die in school shooting. children dying is bad actually, even if they’re children of people you don’t like.
Part of “Children are not the property of their parents” is “Children should not suffer for their parents’ decisions.”
The problem with getting popsicles is then you have popsicles in the house and every time you feel bad (mentally, physically,) you think “well why shouldn’t I have a popsicle about it”
