GIRL WAIT ARE THERE REALLY NEW DELTARUNE CHAPTERS. DEADASS???!?!??! IS IT STILL APRIL FOOLS THERE WHATS HAPPENING

OH MY FUCKING GOD?

and this was me earlier too i cant freakingn believe this

“Rayban charity glasses event” is a scam don’t click any link in a post that says that.

Old tumblr users remember this scam back when it first went out.

Also no, this isn’t a joke. This phishing scam is 100% running its course again so watch out for your mutuals long abandoned accounts suddenly posting it. Please make everyone aware of it since most users here are newbies who have not seen it before!

how i'm handling my students using AI to write papers:

-don't accuse them on using AI from the get-go and instead ask them to informally define all the huge words that they used in their essay which i know they don't know the meaning of

-ask to see their original file where they "wrote" the essay. go to version history to see if it was just copy and pasted and then just edited a bit. i keep an eye out for the shit like "certainly! here's an essay about...."

-if they own up to it, they can re-do the assignment for a higher grade even if there will be an automatic penalty. if they don't, i process it like plagiarism and get my supervisor involved.

And this is much better than the immediate accusations. Some students have a good vocabulary. Stop accusing them of faking their essays without proof, and this is a good way to check.

Fellow students please stop using AI, go back to promising not to kill the school nerd if they do all your homework or something.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

*clicks play in morbid curiosity*

*hammers reblog button*

I think I find this post every April Fools Day and I am so happy that I do

I don’t know how I forget about this every year but I love it

Me Giving a Pressed Conference: our advocacy for the disabled must include the addict, the imperfect victim, those we despise; the right to autonomy and life cannot devolve into a popularity contest

Reporter I Hate (Not Sexual Tension): Does that include all the attendees of the Bored Ape NFT event who went blind

Me: *Blood streaming from my nostrils and eyes* david, it includes everyone

can't keep that in the tags

[image id: a screenshot of tags from horodragon which read “#this is actually an extremely important thing to keep in mind in regards to being anti-death penalty and pro-prison reform #just because i personally think youre the scum of the earth doesnt mean my political stances suddenly shouldnt apply to you” /end id]

Begging and pleading on my hands and knees for addicts to be included in your disability advocacy. Let me tell y'all a story about a woman I once knew.

She had faced a lifetime of trauma by the time she was 25 or 26, and despite spending her early 20s addicted to meth, she managed to get clean to take care of her physically disabled mother full time. When her mother passed away, she turned to drinking, unsure of how else to cope with the loss.

Within 10 years, she had become so chemically dependent on alcohol that detoxing, even under medical supervision, caused delirium tremens- an often fatal form of alcohol withdrawal. In June of 2021, she was in the ICU in critical condition because she tried to quit drinking. She survived, but she was warned that, should she drink again, the delirium tremens would cause her organs to fail and she would die.

She managed to stay sober for about a month before falling back into her old habits. In September of 2021, she attempted to get sober again, and within two weeks, she was dead.

This woman was my Mama. She was 38 when she died. During the week she was in hospice and in the months following her passing, my family and I had several discussions about what held her back from staying sober even when her life was at risk. We feel it was a combination of lack of adequate healthcare (both mental and physical, as she drank to self-medicate her mental illness as well as to numb her physical chronic pain), and so many layers of shame and stigma.

Had my mother had access to regular therapy appointments and medication management, as well as physical healthcare providers that took her pain seriously, she likely would have stayed sober. In fact, the times throughout my life where she was able to remain clean and sober for years at a time were when we lived in states with Medicaid expansion, guaranteeing her access to the healthcare she so desperately needed.

To those who only knew of my Mama's addictions, she was no more than an addict. Anyone who knew her clean and sober, though, knew how important she was. Notably, she often acted as a mother figure for my queer and trans friends who did not have supportive parents, going as far as to work multiple 12-14 hour days in a row, fighting through her pain, just to make sure kids who weren't hers would have their needs met. Now that all of those kids are adults, myself included, we would give anything to have our Mama back.

Demanding that disabled people, including addicts, have access to healthcare and other supports they need is the closest thing we can do to bringing her back. I will not shut up until people like my Mama stop fucking dying.

the surprising amount of art of furries shooting insane ropes but having a completely unaffected facial expression is so strange to me . and thats as an unemotive austistic person

If you're feeling anxious or depressed about the climate and want to do something to help right now, from your bed, for free...

Start helping with citizen science projects

What's a citizen science project? Basically, it's crowdsourced science. In this case, crowdsourced climate science, that you can help with!

You don't need qualifications or any training besides the slideshow at the start of a project. There are a lot of things that humans can do way better than machines can, even with only minimal training, that are vital to science - especially digitizing records and building searchable databases

Like labeling trees in aerial photos so that scientists have better datasets to use for restoration.

Or counting cells in fossilized plants to track the impacts of climate change.

Or digitizing old atmospheric data to help scientists track the warming effects of El Niño.

Or counting penguins to help scientists better protect them.

Those are all on one of the most prominent citizen science platforms, called Zooniverse, but there are a ton of others, too.

Oh, and btw, you don't have to worry about messing up, because several people see each image. Studies show that if you pool the opinions of however many regular people (different by field), it matches the accuracy rate of a trained scientist in the field.

--

I spent a lot of time doing this when I was really badly injured and housebound, and it was so good for me to be able to HELP and DO SOMETHING, even when I was in too much pain to leave my bed. So if you are chronically ill/disabled/for whatever reason can't participate or volunteer for things in person, I highly highly recommend.

Next time you wish you could do something - anything - to help

Remember that actually, you can. And help with some science.

Yup, these are actually *really* important. And a small bit of work helps, so it’s doable even if you’re snowed under with survival work or in too much pain to concentrate for longer periods.

It’s multiply-checked by more than one person, so don’t worry about fucking it up because your concentration is fucked. Your input is valuable but not the only input.

I find Zooniverse very good, and it does Citizen Historian work too - I spent time digitising concentration camp records because a) families still don’t know what happened to some of their loved ones b) this makes the records available for historians without travelling to archives in person, which I can testify is *invaluable* for disabled historians and helps cut the need for overseas travel to do vital historical work.

It unexpectedly helped me with learning how to decipher premodern handwriting too, which proved really useful in my academic stuff. You *will* pick up valuable skills doing this. Put it on your CV.

Other places you can go to do citizen science, from the notes

(Thanks to everyone who left these in the notes! If you know more, put them in the notes, and I might add them! And ty @enbycrip for the fantastic addition that covered a bunch of details I didn't get to)

Apps/Websites

  • eBird (birds
  • Merlin (birds)
  • citizenscience.gov (big project database, US-based)
  • iNaturalist (nature)
  • MapSwipe (collaboration between several Red Cross organizations and Doctors Without Borders, update vital geospatial data) Smithsonian archives (transcriptions, many subjects)
  • Cornell Bird Lab (birds)
  • FoldIt (folding proteins)
  • Fathomverse (sea animals)
  • Project Monarch (butterflies)

In person

  • Bioblitz (nature) Species watch (species) Audobon Society (birds)

Also:

Even if you don't have time to spend, but do have some processor cycles to spare, check out the projects available at BOINC's Compute for Science: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/

Hey guys, these projects make a HUGE difference for science. For example, I run bplant.org and iNaturalist is the #1 source of images in ID guides and articles and other educational materials I develop. The plant observations are also helpful for assessing plant ranges and how these ranges are changing with climate change. And it also helps me identify local seed sources for use in restoration plantings. Use of iNaturalist, even casual use like a random person uploading pics of plants they see growing in their yard, or a random parking lot they were in, or a random vacant lot, those observations are MAJORLY helping in (1) education (2) science (3) conservation.

This stuff makes a huge difference.

Also, if you want to make the biggest impact on these sites, release any material with the more permissive licenses, like CC-BY. If you add a NC or ND clause, for instance, your photos cannot be included on Wikipedia or bplant or a number of other educational sites, because those license restrictions are incompatible with combining with copyleft material.

But yeah, go do citizen science, please!!!

I thought I'd go back and repost this because there are probably a lot of people out there who, like me, reallllyyyyyy need something to distract them right now

So, hey. You. Stop doomscrolling. Take a deep breathe. And if you want, try doing some citizen science or citizen history instead

I'm also going to especially promote MapSwipe, for those who want to do something tangible to help people now.

From their website:

Data Everywhere

In today's technology-filled world, we have access to vast amounts of information at our fingertips. This includes geospatial data, which helps us understand places and the “where?” of things - a vitally important piece of successful humanitarian programs. It is important for getting from point A to point B as well as for coordination, understanding needs, tracking impact, identifying gaps, and a multitude of other concerns. For responsible use by humanitarians, this information must be assessed, refreshed, and validated as populations, infrastructure, and the surrounding environments experience the inevitable changes that occur as time, conflicts, and disasters unfold... MapSwipe is a free open source mobile application available on iOS and Android that empowers anyone with a smartphone to make a meaningful impact contributing to global mapping efforts. MapSwipe crowdsources the review of satellite imagery to:
