shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

So-called AI detection tools might be an even bigger scurge than AI. I was talking today with a student (a senior), who shared that they now have to spend time "dumbing down" their papers--shortening sentences, removing advanced vocab and punctuation--because otherwise they get flagged as "AI."

A screenshot of AK Faulkner's online shop which has the following text: No AI has been used in any aspect of the creation or production of these books, or associated merchandise and materials.
I’m perfectly capable of writing this demented shit on my own. The planet-burning plagiarism machine is for fucking losers.

I hire real human editors, artists, designers, and narrators.

Screenshot of a Tumblr-style reply thread between accounts named "zhuangzi" and "xunzi," each using a traditional ink-portrait avatar: zhuangzi an elderly sage with a long white beard and dark headwear on a cream ground, xunzi a black-bearded man in a dark cap. zhuangzi opens: "while you were jacking off to boobs and ass i was jacking off to masterful use of negative space." xunzi replies: "you can just say hole." zhuangzi answers: "you don't understand anything."

Moon base women’s skirt outfit from the show UFO. It’s a high neck sleeveless top with a horizontal pattern in the silhouette of a vest over a flared miniskirt, accessorized with a utility belt—all in shiny silver. The silver boots have heels and an inside zipper. A purple wig in a bob with bangs that come to a point completes the look

Emma Frost: "Emma Frost, darling. I'm a telepath. May I read your mind to ascertain if you're telling the truth?"

Miss Piggy: "But of course, darling I am an open book, a tell-all memoir."Emma Frost telepathically witnessing the entirety of Miss Piggy's life.Wolverine: "Frost? She legit?"
Emma Frost: "She's..She's... She's everything. And I would die for her."

THE RIVER (1996) Oil on Canvas - 48” x 36” In my personal work, the red glass heart evokes the world of the senses and things that appeal to those senses. That’s material possessions for some or pleasure seeking and gratification for others.
Reclining on a low broken branch, a woman in white diaphanous gown rests against a tree trunk. Lost in contemplation, her eyes are pressed closed. Her hair falls in tight waves of blonde down her back, and a lavender sash crosses her waist from behind. Tacked to the trunk above her, a red glass heart hangs from a ribbon. The forest beyond is partially obscured by branches of a conifer. Soft light cuts diagonals through the misty air. The tree squats on a grassy island. At its front edge, an open vessel half filled with water contains a solitary flame. A branch crosses in front of the tripod stand it sits upon. A skull is revealed in a knob of the branch, a memento mori revealing the woman's thoughts.

Cutest salt and pepper shaker couple from my collection. Made by Holt Howard, 1958.
Pair of ceramic salt and pepper shakers that are sitting outside on a wooden deck. They are mostly white shorthaired cats with very small dots of dark coloration on their ears and paws, indicating that they are probably supposed to be Siamese. Each one has a polkadot handkerchief around its neck, one  is pink and the other is blue. They are highly stylized in a way that was popular in the late 50s through the 60s.
