REDRAW!! I've been told by so many friends that this was their favorite piece of mine so I wanted to redraw it after all these years :] original under the cut hehe

The United States Disappeared Tracker is “tracking persons politically arrested, detained, or disappeared by the Trump regime since March 9, 2025”.

In addition, We Are Higher Ed and Forward are tracking campus abductions specifically.

one of the best comics of all time honestly

Btw much as I love to make fun of twitter and reddit's business decisions, I have 0% trust in tumblr's management to not go a similar route so this is your gentle reminder that you should regularly go to your blog settings to export your blog. That's a fancy way of saying you can download a backup of your blog so if everything goes down you'll still have a backup of your posts & convos.

It's gonna come as a surprise to most of you, but if you don't want to do that for whatever reason you're allowed to not reblog this post. I'm not holding a gun to your head here I'm just trying to spread the word for people who do want a backup of their stuff.

Also, made this guide for backup Tumblr blogs (ft. export blog method, and python 3 script method):

Sometimes I'll be going about my day normally and then I remember that in the spinoff Reigen told Tome he isn't a psychic instead of keeping it a secret like he did to Mob because he didn't want to make the same mistake and also because he thinks Tome shouldn't be around the office because it only brings her danger so stripping away the reason she looks up to him sm would drive her away and also because he doesn't want her to turn out the way he did and while it did work she eventually returned despite everything because she realises she doesn't like Reigen only for the false reputation he puts on himself as a pseudo psychic but simply because he's somebody she actually likes being around and makes her feel secure enough to just be herself and is generally a good person which is immediately proven when he doesn't hesitate to take on the curse when Roshuuto passed it onto her and then I throw up and die and my body explodes to bits

I assigned a writing prompt a few weeks ago that asked my students to reflect on a time when someone believed in them or when they believed in someone else. One of my students began to panic.

“I have to ask Google the prompt to get some ideas if I can’t just use AI,” she pleaded and then began typing into the search box on her screen, “A time when someone believed in you.”

“It’s about you,” I told her. “You’ve got your life experiences inside of your own mind.” It hadn’t occurred to her — even with my gentle reminder — to look within her own imagination to generate ideas. One of the reasons why I assigned the prompt is because learning to think for herself now, in high school, will help her build confidence and think through more complicated problems as she gets older — even when she’s no longer in a classroom situation.

She’s only in ninth grade, yet she’s already become accustomed to outsourcing her own mind to digital technologies, and it frightens me.

When I teach students how to write, I’m also teaching them how to think. Through fits and starts (a process that can be both frustrating and rewarding), high school English teachers like me help students get to know themselves better when they use language to figure out what they think and how they feel.

. . .

If you believe, as I do, that writing is thinking — and thinking is everything — things aren’t looking too good for our students or for the educators trying to teach them. In addition to teaching high school, I’m also a college instructor, and I see this behavior in my older students as well.

This! This is what scares me the most about AI! Physical exertion is difficult if someone isn't used to it, and it gets easier the more often it's done. When it's done often enough, it becomes a habit. Mental exertion is exactly the same. Thinking is a learned skill just like a sport is, and an entire generation is growing up without that most critical skill.

An unthinking populace is a more easily controlled populace.

Do you know how badly you have to fuck up for this to happen

reblog to pet his bald head

Asking AI for information is like asking your drunk uncle for information. Usually wrong, definitely untrustworthy, and a little bit racist.

i like when tv show promotional content is just all the actors standing on a grey background. thank you ive learned nothig and feel nothing about these people

ive seen all these of these showsand i think these are so funny. we need to advertise so we are sending you to the fucking grey void

now listen. normally i would not single out a tag like this but this is so fucking funny to me. objectively speaking you are not wrong. but i think theres a big difference for me personally between 'artist drew their oc just fucking standing there for fun' and 'this is an advertisement that is trying to get me to invest my time in a show' do you understand

I love a woman with a loud ass laugh. I love a cackle. I love a guffaw. Love when a bitch laughs so hard it scares the dog. Be unapologetic in your joy.

One weird experience of transitioning is failing at ur assigned gender role the whole time and everyone constantly deriding you for it but then u come out and it's like we lost a beautiful gender conforming warrior today. Must grieve for my wonderful child who pissed me off by being ugly and weird since day 1
