When Everything Everywhere All at Once said “The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind, especially when we don’t know what’s going on" 

When the Good Place said “Why choose to be good every day when there is no guaranteed reward now or in the afterlife… I argue that we choose to be good because of our bonds with other people and our innate desire to treat them with dignity. Simply put, we are not in this alone.” 

When Jean-Paul Sartre said ”‘Hell is other people’ is only one side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also ‘Heaven is each other’. Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven on the other hand is very simple, and very hard: caring about your fellow beings.“

it’s in the small gestures (keeping her things like a lover)

"I would kill for you. I would die for you" would you take a break for me? Would you sit down and rest? For a day, a week, a year? Would you let others take care of your needs for me? Would you let yourself be held for me? By me?

OP i hope its okay to reblog with your additions bc they are good

not only is it okay, I think i'd like that very much, thank you.

A short comic I made about my experiences as a seasonal worker, and the way places change you.

what made them think it was always right?

they are stupid

orrrrr they just grew up in this tech focused privacy lacking world

current university students, assuming they went to university at 18 (which would be most of the first years) were maybe 4 when smartphones got popular? the world they have grown up with is one where apps are the only way one interacts with technology, where social media increasingly demands personal information, where someone who refuses to go along with those norms automatically has something to hide, which means everyone polices themselves as if their every fashion choice or sentence structure is subject to judge and jury, because it is

we live in an age which discourages asking questions, where every question is met with offense and "just google it", while google itself fills its entire first page with ads and misinformation

and tumblr is the only place i've seen critique chatgpt. i've had windows 11 (which every laptop comes with these days) advertise chatgpt to me as a search engine

it's not a search engine. frankly, google hardly counts as one either these days. but if you're not surrounded by people telling you chatgpt is bad and fake, how are you supposed to know? when your computer and your phone and your relatives who don't know much more about technology than you all think it's a search engine with a voice, it wouldn't occur to you that all of them are wrong

and they're clearly not stupid! that's the point of this as an exercise - their teacher is telling them for the first time that chatgpt might be wrong. your job is to find out if chatgpt is wrong. and they did the assignment! they had a reason for the first time to question chatgpt, and all of them came to the conclusion that yeah, it is lying to us, and so is everyone else who said it was always right

and they'll go forward now not only knowing they can't blindly trust what computers tell them, but they'll spread that message around, which will decrease misinformation on a bunch of levels

this was a win for the students and a win for the teacher, i think an exercise like this should be mandatory in all schools if we ever hope to combat where technology's going these days

best friends

becoming an adult cheat sheet!

reblogging for whomever needs it

Every day I discover forms of art I could not have concieved of before, and suddenly I am in awe of being alive.

one of the best gideon moments hands down is when, post battle with new lyctor ianthe, she finds out that dulcinea and palamedes are sort of exes and she LIES DOWN ON THE GROUND ABOUT IT AND GROANS FOR FIVE WHOLE MINUTES. everyone is like “gideon get up” “gideon it’s not a big deal” and she is like literally i’m going to end it all. this is so embarrassing for me and palamedes must hate me (cam has told her four times this is Not True) i must go make things right with him immediately. babygirl there’s a feral infant proto-god who just consumed the soul of her 1950s greaser chewtoy sprinting around canaan house you HAVE to change your priorities. and yet she won’t and she doesn’t. i love her so bad

stop saying "gideon nav" in the tags i don't know who that is you're scaring me

ianthe's little cannibalism moment except it's not little, it's 15 pages long, enjoy!

(this took a total of 115 hours, waw, i am still sick as all hell, so feel free to leave me all ur thoughts in great details, i will read them.)

why the net, kaz?

i no longer respect the hustle i want universal basic income and dignity for everyone

This is a monumental failing by the Avatar live-action show runners.

Your favourite characters can (and should) be flawed. A massive part of Sokka’s character arc in season 1 is specifically on his sexism and how he faces it.

If you tone that part down, you’re toning down the role of the Kyoshi warriors who hand his arse to him because he thinks he can easily beat them.

"We've noticed that this character doesn't begin the series as a pure and flawless paragon of virtue, but instead begins with a notable flaw which is addressed and overcome during the course of the story as one of his main character arcs. We've fixed this 'problem' by removing that character arc and having him start out perfect so you don't have to go through the horror of seeing a person grow and change over the course of their adventures.✌️"

It’s just such a wild way to look at any media.

Removing all the conflict out of a story, ruins the story. I don’t want squeaky clean characters, I want characters who overcome their flaws, and I also want irredeemable characters who are dickheads.

It’s like putting the cart before the horse, you can’t have Sokka be immediately likeable and perfect. People like him because they’ve seen his character arc.

another tlt comic, ianthe's new arm.

(guys this took me 60 plus hours... please say something nice to me..)
