absolutely related to the mini rant i just went on. notably using censorship-ized euphemism actually makes it harder for me to disengage from unproductive or harmful topics.

for the purposes of engagement. It's bad enough that the world has such accidents and death and tragedy but then to keep you brutally aware of all of them, ALL THE TIME, in order to enrich billionaires on your despair, outrage, or grief, seems extra fucking cruel.

i need to avoid algorithmic platforms from hereon out. i do not need to see thirteen zillion articles on child death by accident or suicide and that's what the algos keep giving me. it's not good for my mental health. how are any of us doing okay with the sludge machines targeting nightmares

which means they only care about putting engagement bait bc i was trying to find a very specific post that i knew existed AND had been created within the last few hours but which it wasn't displaying bc that wasn't the algorithmically inclined viral part of that topic.

SeasonalPun @pixelfish.bsky.social · 7h
and the difference between an algorithmic feed and this chronological one is pretty stark. as an aside i looked up something on Threads and despite giving it pretty clear parameters of "popular topic" + specific keyword, it kept giving me popular topic without the keyword.

SeasonalPun @pixelfish.bsky.social · 8h
I know it was supposedly debunked but i don't know how my triggering topics which i don't look up on my phone always show up in my threads algorithmic feeds unless they listen to conversations i have with husband and friends. notably i almost never run into them here.

This is a terrible thing to allow. It can traumatize some, do moral damage to others without them realizing it yet, and for a not insignificant number, it may act as a proxy to the harms they wish to commit against others. Executions by the state should not be widely broadcast as such.

> like she pitted herself against the charity instead of the priests doing it. She is not allowed to just exist without ppl being weird about it.

SeasonalPun @pixelfish.bsky.social · 9h
and so now the "controversy" is that people defended Meghan's offering and noted that the priests had singled her out but ignored other offerings and predictably all the racist white ladies showed up to be all "Meghan wasn't treating the holiday respectfully," or to frame it >

SeasonalPun @pixelfish.bsky.social · 9h
They'll trample each other in the effort to find shit to be mad at her for. in this case, two C of E priests decided to pit Meghan's advent calendar (not even selling in the UK) against an £8 charity advent calendar.

SeasonalPun @pixelfish.bsky.social · 9h
At $148, Meghan's advent calendar may be pricy for many, because times have been hard, but it's actually one of the modest offerings by brand standards. These are ALL brands I've treated myself to in past years. Inflation & tariffs prolly contributing to costs.

This is a lie, and it's a lie they've been telling since the 1950s. They push the story that technology will give the white-collar populace 4 or even 3-day work weeks, but that never materializes. 5-day work weeks with exponentially greater output expectations does.

This by Courtney Maum is where I am too. I am grateful to her for the words...
For me, the subject of AI detection is an ouroboros. I’ll speak only for myself, here is my opinion. I didn’t ask for artificial intelligence. It’s not something I need, it is not something I desire. And yet, it barged its way into my life and stole all of my books. All of them. Stole them. Trained off of them. Did not compensate me for this theft. So now, AI can write a book like me, because it stole my own work and learned my breed of humor and satire. So if someone runs an AI text detector on my creative output, it will probably “test positive” why? Because AI is a contaminant that has embedded itself into my work by stealing it and using my own work to perpetuate itself. It will test for itself and find AI there because it AI is a virus that has contaminated the DNA of my current and future writing—a form of intellectual rape. A kind of colonization. A raging plague that some gatekeepers are opening the door for.

If you ask me what I’m currently working on, the answer is nothing book-length. I’m not going to publish a new book in this current landscape. That’s a stance of privilege, I recognize that. And I can’t hold this stance forever, I can hold it as long as I have savings from my last book.

This current literary climate isn’t acceptable. It is not acceptable to have a thing thrust upon us that takes absolutely everything, and then be forced to prove that we are not the thieves.
