update on me re-discovering asexuality:

i just found The Asexuality Identification Scale. i scored a 50.

and apparently... "scores of 40/60 on the AIS-12 were found to capture 93% of individuals who self-identified as asexual. In other words, 93% of asexual participants scored at or above 40. Conversely, 95% of participants who self-identified as sexual scored below 40."

fat character who becomes a vampire and loses a ton of weight and blood can not sate their hunger but they can't eat anything they used to like anymore. everyone views it as a positive healthy positive development but they're starving and dying slowly but never truly dying, a living corpse. this is a metaphor for something

People finally think they’re attractive and cool and funny but they’re dead. People finally treat them well but they’re dead. Do you see the vision

Transforms into a shell of my former self and finally gains the respectability society never bestowed upon me before

shit ton of people are repeating the thing about hayao miyazaki saying AI art is an "insult to life itself" and just as a reminder he was talking about the zombies that team made that were intended to be scary in how much they shook, but instead reminded him of his disabled friend. the insult to life itself was referring to the team trying to make scary real symptoms that people live with.

it was a quote about ableism. if he has said other things about AI type stuff, that is a different thing. but that specific quote was about ableism.

this is the full quote.

Scam warning out for the account “tfosmah” also known as “imosmahtf” and now “thsioamsha”

This blog is stealing their images from another fundraiser and have been confirmed as to not be a relative of the actual family. It is a not nice to steal someone’s family photos and pass them as yours because you’ll make it harder for other Palestinians to be trusted. If they are a Palestinian, I suggest removing the stolen images and coming clean about lying and issuing refunds as the funding was earned with lies and dishonesty and stealing from another family.

The real account is on Facebook called “Palestini Heart” and the actual fundraiser can be found here.

For scam reference purposes, here is the PayPal name associated with this scammer who is pretending the family is theirs.

(Alt text has link)

If you donated to this blog, please report the PayPal account as I doubt you’ll get a refund.

yeah, he sure is

i deeply apologize to everyone that i have hurt by suggesting that a former IDF prison guard who voluntarily left the safety of his home in the United States to seize the once in a lifetime opportunity to work inside of an Israeli concentration camp where he claims to have met the "one logical Palestinian" he's ever encountered in his life might have some kind of incentive for not exposing the full and unleashed depravity of US military operations against the Yemenis, who are the only people in the world actively working against stopping the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians that has been carried out for the last year and a half. this is a man with entirely pure intentions. after all, The Atlantic is a reputable, courageous and independent news publication. i shouldn't have dared besmirch their name.

i understand that every post about Israel or the IDF or hell, even the Middle East, at the end of the day, is a ruthless and unfair attack on you and your way of life. all of these people on the internet humanizing Arabs and Muslims and children and women and condemning them being raped and blown to pieces... they just keep focusing on the wrong things and it's probably extremely, extremely scary for you, even though it has absolutely nothing to do with you or Judaism whatsoever. or is it that you think that everything Israel does is truly in the name of Judaism? because i don't think that.

ultimately, there is only one thing to consider in this 75+ year occupation and extermination of an indigenous people: how any criticism might make you feel deep down inside. that is what we need to focus on and i can see now that i've made a grave mistake.

furthermore, i can't put myself in your shoes, so i can't imagine how it must feel to have to see someone suggest that the US media apparatus might be providing cover to a country that you've never been to, that you weren't born in, who desires to be an entirely pure religious fundamentalist ethnostate so badly that it's willing to slaughter, rape and desecrate the bodies of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and Arabs in order to achieve it's goals. all i can do is hope that you heal from this.

most of all, i'm sorry to Mr. Goldberg, whose honorable service as a Concentration Guard Camp has been besmirched. at the time, i did not realize that suggesting a reporter being a former member of the IDF might influence the way he views the current genocide that the IDF is carrying out. but i can see clearly now that there was a secret, evil embedded message in my four-word reblog that blamed this on every Jewish person in America. i hope one day you can forgive me.

not to be all i told you so about ancestry tests but 23 and me went bankrupt and can now legally sell human genetic information to the highest bidder, as per their privacy policy which was signed by approx. 15 million test takers

FYI, you can ask them to delete at least most of your data and can even request that they destroy your saliva sample if you for some reason opted in to them storing it indefinitely. I didn’t store my sample, so I didn’t have to worry about that, but I did have them delete my info and it was a pretty painless process.

Instructions can be found here and in a number of other places.

Also, the state of California has given instructions for revoking permission for your data to be used for further research. Do I live in California? No. Did I cite this law when making my request anyway? Yes.

[ID: A painting of the boat from Flow in the city area, aimed almost directly at the viewer. The cat sits on top of the mast. The boat is framed in the center of the image by the walls of the city. There is a strong visual contrast between the red rocks and boat and the blue water and sky, as well as the lighter background and the darker foreground, which makes the image really stand out.
