iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

We’ve got little bunnies like that where I live and they’re pretty common in some places. My sister points out that they randomly disappear at times mid bounce. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I keep seeing AI models used for fashion and hair modeling and it’s like, if you’re trying to advertise your products to me and you couldn’t even feature a human being using those products.. why would I buy that product or trust that it’s any good?!!!! Just pay people for their labor, omg.

Like, I just need us all to agree on shared reality at its base. If you manipulate a photo, that should be disclosed or understood by context. The rampant use of AI in many many contexts is just going to fuck up our sense of reality !!! (Not to mention all the other harms)

Recognition as a bargaining chip is just vile! End support of this man made famine now AND recognize the humanity and sovereignty of the Palestinian people! We can actually do both. :/ why is this so hard.

The dismay I had when I learned I’d been fooled. My sis sent it to me. :/ I would love to see more required disclosure of AI!!! I need reality to be a thing we actually guard and hold safe. :/

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Sometimes I think people do need more separation of fiction from fantasy. RPF can be fun because it’s a bit taboo and fun to imagine your own story. But I wish folks would remember that RPF is as fictional as any ship!!! Also-bring back the 4th wall, please!!! I beg. 🙏

If women submitting to men was a natural way of being, they would not have needed laws, religion & violence to get them to do it.

I recently looked at some photos of my niece when she was brand new!!! I remember that day like it was yesterday, all the little tugs on my heart to see her and hold her and squish her. And now she’s 17 and a whole cool person!!! It’s wild!!!!

When does she admit that she might maybe possibly see him differently?? Is it when he takes some jeering boys in the crowd to task? Is it when he has to change out of his shirt because someone -- oops -- spilled their sports drink on him? Is it ---

Nooooooooo That is the worst. The SOUND they make when you're trying to just EXIST - it haunts me.

Do they share the rink with another team? Does Hal work there, he fixed the skates? Gal keeps getting jammed and needing some… alignment and fine tuning??

Ruined forever - she tries to replicate the experience at home and just gets so FRUSTRATED.

It starts with trans people b/c they're "new" in some ppls eyes (although not actually) but it is absolutely about enforcing a social norm/sexual norms that not everyone shares, including gender expression, queerness, etc. It's hard to communicate about these policies b/c on surface, it seems fair.

It feels like a backdoor way to police adult consensual behavior. :/ "But think of the children" -- I am an adult, I am thinking this actually doesn't address your root concerns.

But secretly turned on?? What will it feel like??? Is he more... sensitive?? (I know nothing, LOL)

You are taking up so much real estate in their brains-- they really ought to be embarrassed.

Kudos are appreciated, comments are beloved, but appearing on a rec list!!!! Priceless!!! It’s also lovely and fun to share stuff you’ve read and to read the same stuff your friends are reading!! It’s what fic is about for me!!!! ♥️

I admit I’ve been curious about going off BC to see, I’ve had an IUD for like 15 years at this point. But I am not curious enough to see if I also get a period again!! No thanks!! But totally agree - one size does not fit all!! I would love to see more research so we could better understand why!

At the end of the day, I do think people will still want to create and make small spaces to squee over silly things and enjoy the show and fan works together. It might take some time for things to cool down and people to re gather but I think it’ll happen. Haladriel is still just too hot.

lol, mine is 5’7!!!! And my baby nice was taller than me before she turned 13!! Rude!!!

I often fantasized about height/size difference but in reality, I actually probably discriminated more with taller men. I did not enjoy more than an 8in height difference. I actually do like my delusion that I’m tall and if you’re too tall, it ruins it!! 🤣

Yes, I already round up to 5’3, but I’m actually half an inch shorter. But I always forget I’m short. I once told my best friend we were the same height and she was like, “bitch, I’m two inches taller than you!!” 🤣 she was so offended.

I’m pretty short tho so most men and women are taller than me anyway, but as long as you weren’t an asshole, I didn’t think much about your height!! In my head, I’m at least 5’7 (lololol)

I do find our cultures obsession with have the cis male partner be taller to be really stupid and unnecessarily limiting. I met a woman in high school from a different culture and she thought we were weird about it and I was like, that is weird!! It is often reinforced by both parties.

Much easier to try to blame women and women’s supposed shallowness than admit you kinda suck. :/ not that it matters, but my hubby is an aspirational 5’10 guy and also managed to have an emotional IQ and be a thoughtful human!! Whodathunk!

These were my exact thoughts today.

What a cope, Jeesh. Blame your personality, at least you have a chance of fixing that.
