finally coming here to boost my currently stalled ma request after being in pain all day and seeing this
user @/bigtparker skeets : 

I think you are confusing Fascism with a country finally deciding to be a nation and protect its borders and native workforce from hordes of immigrants who have helped keep our wages from rising for decades.
I'm as leftist as one gets and l've been preaching for decades we need to get that fixed.

they’re not just feeding the books to train their AI, they’re LITERALLY DESTROYING THE BOOKS even the rare ones meaning the public no longer has access to that knowledge futurism.com/artificial-i...
This process took advantage of a legal concept known as first-sale doctrine, which allows a buyer to do what they want with a purchase without the original copyright holder's say-so. And since Anthropic was turning the original physical texts into digital ones - rather than redistributing them as new copies
- a judge found this to be
"transformative," and therefore protected by fair use.

i had to give up on my halter top project because i didn’t have enough material to make all the rings necessary for it, but ended up making other pieces with what i had. the necklace was supposed to be the neckline of the top. my hypoallergenic titanium metal garments dreams were too big i fear.

in this latest horny art you’ll see a few things i’m trying to practice more : - drawing backgrounds - drawing without references - coloring with a somewhat cohesive light source. it’s not done yet because i’m struggling with with some symptoms i’m experiencing but you’ll never see me use “AI”

this is kinda finished but since i rarely post my art, i think sharing the process might be a fun thing. especially to help me get over that lil annoying voice in my head that makes me stop mid drawing 😭 i say kinda finished because i might add a lil 5o’clock shadow once the pen is done charging.

re-housing goal met and i moved today and i’m in my permanent apartment and the relief is abundant. it’s been hellish two weeks and two months and two years and i finally have a permanent home that i hope i can keep it for the next many years because no one should be living out of boxes for YEARS.
photo of a slightly bare and recently moved into studio apartment. the far end corner window is open and so is the closet. some empty folded bags by the feet of an old and very used chair that used to be white like the bare walls. to the left corner there’s a MacGyvered couch of cushions and carrying crate pallets underneath the white slanted ceiling. a small gray fridge is barely visible behind all the many cardboard boxes piled on top of each other and some pale green suitcases all stacked up close to the center white column of the studio apartment. there’s a half size mirror on the far end wall. some of the many bags sitting on the concrete floor of the train station platform i carried with me on my way to meeting the movers at the new apartment, as seen from my point of you. you can also see the anemic brown hand and legs of my Black self.

quoting for comparison, this is the second nose chain made thinner at @slumflower.bsky.social request. this time i also made it shorter which i think i prefer. excited to experiment more with the nose to ear cuff chain varieties for the folks asking for mask jewelry. probably after i move though

HE RAISED 100k in TWO WEEKS
"Something's come up that I'm really frustrated, confused and I don't understand," Rourke, 73, says.

"Somebody set up some kind of foundation or fund for me to donate money. A charity.
And that's not me. If I needed money I wouldn't ask for no charity. I'd rather stick a gun up my ass and pull the trigger," he continues. 

"Whoever did this, I don't know why they did it. I wouldn't know what a GoFundMe is in a million years."


Rourke also vowed to get his attorney involved to ensure that everyone gets their money back."I would never ask strangers or fans for a nickel," Rourke said. "It's not my style.
You ask anybody who knows me. It's humiliating and f***ing embarrassing...
I want you to get your money back. All things will pass.
"
In what will come as a shock to no one, this whole production wasn't sprung on Mickey. The GoFundMe was started by his manager Kimberly Hines and her assistant. According to Hines, Mickey was on board with the whole thing until it became major entertainment news. As it turns out, Mickey absolutely will ask people for money, but he'd prefer it not be seen in every industry trade.To be honest, Mickey doesn't have a bank account. He doesn't carry money.
He sent me a WhatsApp message:
"Kim, I'm forever grateful for all your help. I would never be able to do this all alone. I always love you for this.
Thanks, Mick." So I'm doing what I can. And then he puts up a video that he doesn't want help. I mean, if he wants to send all the money back, send it back. I don't care. The money was for Mickey.He's calling me for money. He's calling friends for money. A GoFund is set up for him, and now he's rejecting it?
"OK, Mick, no problem." But nobody here has done anything wrong. It was done with a good intention, with a good heart. My assistant is 21 years old. Right now, I'm fronting the money for Mickey to get him out of this emergency situation.

miniature snowman with arms, eyebrows, nose and genitalia made of sticks on top of a concrete surface. there are winter naked trees and a partially frozen lake in the background. the sky is grey. there’s a slightly bigger stick next to the mini snowman, which i’m assuming is either a cain or a magical staff.

“After her release, Haarer was denazified.” someone should tag that guy getting hope from MTG
Final years and death
In her final years, Haarer wrote her autobiography, but her life story ended in 1933 and was continued after her internment. She
retained her Nazi beliefs throughout her life.
According to her, she and her fellow internees had "done nothing wrong", but had merely
"served a state ideology that was recognised worldwide". She believed that in times of war, all peoples would do everything in their power to "benefit the fatherland". She also said that she did not wish to comment on "guilt and
collective guilt", but that she was certain that the Germans "wanted the best for our people with all our hearts".

this dude ripped off the title and everything 🙃
screenshot of the paper Beyond "It Didn't Age Well": Media Literacy, Virtue Mirroring, and Judging Older Media by J.M. Oliveira Beyond "It Didn't Age Well": Media Literacy, Virtue Mirroring, and Judging Older Media

August 2025

DOI:10.5281/zenodo. 16665351
Authors:

Jorge Oliveira

Flinders University

Abstract

This article explores why audiences often dismiss classic films, TV shows, or other media as simply "not ageing well" and argues that weak media literacy and critical thinking underlie this tendency. We review definitions of media literacy and its current educational gaps, show how superficial judgements ignore historical and production context, and propose the idea of "virtue mirroring" (the tendency to measure media against one's own modern virtues) as a factor in these quick dismissals. By drawing on communication research and examples from film criticism, we aim to show how deeper media analysis can move discussions beyond easy moralising, fostering more nuanced understanding of both past and present content.post by Olurinatti on youtube 

2 hours ago (edited)

It was just brought to my attention that a student at Flinders University ripped off my "Why This Didn't Age Well Destroyed Media Literacy" video as their own and presented my concept "virtue mirroring" as their own. I'm genuinely shocked and pissed off. Especially because I'm the type of person who would've assisted this student with their research or spoken to them and helped them come up with their own original work had they reached out, but stealing my whole shit and presenting it in an academic setting as their own is crazy. And I'm even angrier that they've left me no other choice but to contact their university, and I'm asking yal to reach out and contact the university as well.
This is what l've found about how to report it to the school: https://staff.flinders.edu.au/learnin…

the two tailed pendant are connected to a central tripoli weave and the chain is made of green aventurine and amethyst beaded links. a white mannequin dressed with a long sleeve layered black dress with a see through midsection covered with a red see through babydoll cover. 

the look is tied together with titanium chainmail necklace collar featuring a bayou gathering weave from which smaller red czech crystals beaded chains drape from.

why hire PR when team members can simply link you to their blog to read this 🙃
Let me start with the foundation. Later posts will dig into the layers that make this more complex: automated systems, appeals, scale.

At its core, moderation is humans making decisions for other humans. It's messy, subjective, deeply human work. I wish I could tell you there's always a "right" answer. 

The reality? Outside of the worst content-the illegal stuff, the clear-cut violations-we're constantly drawing boundaries on what speech belongs on the app. 

Why? Because in a sense, the speech we allow in this space also serves to set our identity as an app.


When you browse Bluesky and see something you dislike, find offensive, or think violates our Community Guidelines, you can report it. 

Here's the thing: most people don't actually read those
guidelines. 

So many reports come in simply because someone disagrees with a post.

a very gay November evening
a bright almost full moon lights up the dark partly clouded evening sky. the light from the white moon forms a rainbow around the moon. 

the silhouette of an almost naked tree barely covers some of the houses of the row behind it. there’s a pride flag on the attic window of the last house to the right.

i’m sorry not one person in that writer’s room said maybe we should rethink this 😭 jfc ‘biracial American who grew up surrounded by one culture navigating the other side of their cultural heritage’ was right there if this was just about “what it feels like to exist between cultures”
The show's description reads: "Southern Fried Rice follows KoKo Johnson (Yang), a Korean-American girl raised from birth by her Southern Black parents. When she leaves her small town to attend Wright University —an elite, fictional HBCU in Atlanta and her late father's alma mater —
KoKo steps into a world that both welcomes and challenges her. From being labeled a
"culture vulture" to navigating friendship, love, and identity, KoKo must learn what it truly means to belong.""Southern Fried Rice is exactly the kind of story I envisioned KeyTV telling. One that reflects our diverse realities while still being full of humor, love, and heart. This series represents the next wave of creative voices that are shaping culture. And I'm so proud KeyTV gets to be part of that," Palmer said.
"I wanted to tell a story that speaks to what it feels like to exist between cultures. To love
where you come from while still figuring out where you belong," said Stephens.
"Southern Fried Rice is a love letter to HBCUs. To the South, and to anyone who's ever questioned their identity but found power in embracing it."

this is part of a set actually. and you can buy these on my website wovenalyssum.com
a titanium beaded chainmail bracelet in a doubled crossroad design next to a titanium beaded chainmail necklace in a rosary inspired design. 
both beaded pieces have asymmetrical sides, one beaded with green rice pearls and Czech crystals and the other a simple 1 in 1 weave. the necklace ends with green aventurine bead charms. 

the bracelet’s doubled chains are mirrored.

my friend said she didn’t have pierced ears so i made these for her. now the question is : who’s commissioning something in this realm of adornments from me?
two titanium ear cuffs with mirrored green aventurine beaded chains connected to the top loops and spirals. from the spiral ends a short weave chain hangs ending in green rice pearls and aventurine charms.

from the the bottom four loops of each cuff beaded chains made with varying green rice pearls, Czech crystals and aventurine drape down.
