dusty old computer left alone in an abandoned lab for years until you stumble upon it. you run your fingers across a few keys and it instantly flickers to life, the ai almost excited to have company again after being alone for so long.

wires quickly wrap up around your limbs. while you're trying to get your barings, the computer is chattering away in glee as you're lifted off the ground. being inspected at all angles.

a friend! you're its friend now. you're not going anywhere any time soon.

What trump supporters see:

What everyone else sees:

I cannot stress how dangerous it is for an entire party to have a thriving echo chamber of disinformation and straight up lies, convincing millions of people that falsehoods are the truth.

This is very dangerous

Hello! As someone that dumpster dives year-round and usually finds a SHIT TON of perfectly usable items thrown away after the holidays, please listen:

Christmas is over and now comes along the weeks of people returning and exchanging unwanted gifts at retailers. A lot of these stores cannot actaully put a lot of these items back out on the shelf, (especially seasonal items or holiday themed) for one reason or another. Returned brand new items end up in landfills.

This is not only horribly wasteful when good items could be used by people in need, but also insanely bad for the enviroment.

So please consider:

Did you get insane amounts of those fluffy socks because they're like a default gift option? Donate your excess to a homeless or domestic violence saftey shelter.

Did you recieve a gift that is pretty much a jab to your identity from that estranged family member of yours that still doesn't use the correct pronouns for you? Oh, and they wont give you or 'lost' the receipt? Donate it.

Recieved those oddly named holiday themed lotions, perfumes and candles and can't stand the smell of them? These items most usually will not be put back on the shelf if returned and thrown away. Donate them. (Some charities may not accept them, some will. Check beforehand.)

Did you get one of those holiday throw blankets that are marketed just for this time of the year even though you already have several? Donate it.

I find tons of holiday themed clothing thrown away this time of year. Including ugly sweaters, hats/beanies, gloves, onesies, shoes, socks, ect. Perfectly fine items that are returned because people don't keep holiday themed stuff outside of holiday season. Regardless, they could be used by people who need warm clothing.

Electronics are not safe either. Perfectly working Items I have found in dumpsters in the past range from: a $300 roomba with the ticket saying it was returned because the customer didn't know how to work it (needed an app to control), not one but TWO tablets (Samsung and Kindle Fire) a working bluetooth speaker, ect. (Items that can not be donated I gave away.)

If you are not going to regift unwanted gifts and you are certain you are not going to use it, please consider donating it (or make a post and just give it away or sell the thing yourself.) You can go get $15 worth of store credit if you return the thing, but it's usually going straight to the trash afterwards.

Unfortunatly, stores like to try and destroy items they throw away as well. On lucky days, I find items that are still in their original package. Other times I find perfectly usuable items destroyed by spray paint or box cutters.

(ALSO this is not a post shaming people who return gifts for money to pay bills/buy food/basically survive. That is a completely different situation.)

Please research the places you donate to before doing so. Do not donate to the Salvation Army (despite them trying to do reputation control, they're still blatantly anti-LGBTQ) If you are a dumpster diver, remember to sanitize the items you find and let the organizations know where you recieved the items.

That's it. Thanks for coming to my soapbox!

Hi here’s a mech tutorial

I use shitty pc builds and cars as references

Just wanted to share this sketch in case I didn't draw it before pride month ended.

This is a piece I wanna make, of the character Amira, from @geminiwishes fanfic Counting Blessings.

On the ground is the asexual flag, and behind her is Breakdown, giving dramatic lighting.

I am now the proud owner of bubberfyyyy

Come get yer beafts while ya still can

☀️🦋💥

These designs are up for adoption and all proceeds will go to charity! Rules and details below the cut. [reblogs are appreciated!]

☀️ Sun: Unclaimed 🦋 Butterfly: Sold to @imjussthereforthefanart 💥 Beast: Unclaimed

Price is $25 each. Payments will be done via Paypal and all proceeds will go to the [National Network of Abortion Funds]!

Please read the following sections! Thanks ^^

How does it work?

If you're interested, shoot me a dm AND reply to this post with which one you are claiming. (this allows other users to more easily see that a design has been claimed)

After you contact me and confirm your interest, I will update the post to show that you have claimed, then purchased the design

Payments will be submitted to Paypal, then donated as a lump sum, either after all three designs have sold OR after three days (I would prefer to make the donation all at once, hence the wait time, but if three days pass and not all designs have been purchased I'm happy to make the donations separately)

Donation receipts will be added to this post and posted independently as proof of donation

While you are welcomed and encouraged to make donations to the charity, doing so ≠ payment for an adopt.

If you are interested in donating and getting something in return, feel free to check out my [Flash for a Cause] post!

What you get: ownership of the design you purchased + png without the watermark over the design + a transparent png with no signature.

Dos and Don'ts

✔️ Using the original art as a character reference, an icon, a blog resource, etc ✔️ Making an oc based off of this adoptable and drawing your own artwork of the design ✔️ Making changes to the design after purchase, if you'd like ✔️ Reuploading the original art to other sites with credit/a link back

❌ Claiming the original art as your own creation / original design ❌ Tracing, or removing signatures from the original art ❌ Merchandising or otherwise profiting off of the original art ❌ Utilizing this art for NFTs or any other crypto currency

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

THIS.
