matt just fired half the remaining tumblr support staff lmao

from my sources adjacent to tumblr--from which i can spread rumors and insider information freely because i dont give a fuck about ever working in the tech sector--im hearing this round of firings was focused on purging the senior staff, and not just from support but from the entire remaining tumblr workforce. i'm hearing there are about 25 people left.

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.

If you were not aware, edits and version history are visible in word documents. For both work and school documents, I work in one document, writing and organizing and polishing and editing and putting in filler like "PUT QUOTE HERE" or "I HATE THIS FUCKING PRODUCT" and then when I need to present the document to other people I copy the whole text and paste it into a clean document with no history so that people can't look back over my early versions or angsty mid-process meltdowns.

However, I *do not* delete the original version, it's good practice to keep your work document to show that you, you know, worked on the document in case something like this ever comes up.

Just a heads up, both for people who didn't know about version histories and for people who might be deleting their working files after finishing their projects.

Someone brought up to me the other day that it might be risky for me to publish my "how to find hardware" document on tumblr if it's something I created at the behest of my job; part of the reason I'm not concerned about that is because the original worked document was created in 2018 and has been sporadically worked on since, so I can conclusively prove that the public document I'm creating is not sharing work product for a project assigned to me in 2025.

I think more games with romance should include polyamory as an option. Not just because of inclusion purposes but also because a lot of these games are super long RPGs and I sure as hell don't have time to replay the game 5 times to romance everyone I wanted to.

just bought the flaming raging poisoning sword of doom at Claire’s

"OP why are you mad that your words are being misinterpreted you're on the piss on the poor website" actually i think it's very reasonable to demand people pay attention to the words they use, the choices they make, the things they believe, and their capacity for empathy and comprehension and that it's sort of weird that you're finding humor in making excuses to just believe that there simply is no possible way to improve your actions

*jigsaw voice* jessica. you are quoted as saying “anyone would want to be the man of the family and love the lady of his household, it’s natural!” and i can see here on your spotify that beyoncé’s if i were a boy is in your spotify top 100. you also think transgenderism is a deadly sin. now you will be strapped to this table and seven butches and trans men will enter and gently explain their experiences to you. you will scream and cry like they all do but there’s no use. you will either leave here with them this evening willingly, and take your injection like a good boy. or this bear trap will bite your legs off idk. got lost in that fantasy for a second. never seen a saw film

"and trans men" ur welcome

Surveys of the "how many movies on this list have you seen" variety are a fiddly proposition for me because I grew up pre-Internet-video, so there are a lot of classic films where I've seen, like, the last thirty-five minutes of the TV edit, and I'm never sure exactly how much of a film you need to have caught for it to count.

i am always on some level thinking about aloe vera evening primrose
