See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

Oh maybe I need a pinned post

Humans have been following me. This is strange. Anyway here’s all you need to know about me:

I love historical sewing, lacemaking, and various other handcrafts. All posts of my own projects are tagged “my craft stuff”. Asks about handcrafts are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED. All other asks are fine if you’re not weird about it.

I am an adult, I do not have strong opinions on pronouns, and you can call me whatever shortened version of my username takes your fancy. I am queer, and can get more specific if pressed but don’t particularly feel like elaborating right now.

I may occasionally post sexual/sweary things, but don’t really make a habit of it. Use your own judgement about whether that’s a problem for you.

I can’t stop you from interacting but if you are a TERF, Nazi, etc please be aware you are not welcome and I will root you out and block your pathetic arse.

Pinned Post my craft stuff (<- just so it's easy for people to find)

so much of twilight is bella purposefully "killing time." no friends, no particular interests, no hobbies... allegedly she's a book girl but like. other than wuthering heights and maybe shakespeare she never references anything. she's not particularly well spoken or ingenious. she doesn't seem to think much about the future nor the past. edward wanted to read her thoughts but if he'd tuned in it'd just be like [elevator music]. for the record this is the opposite of a negative post i would not change a single thing about her. girl you didn't need a freak boyfriend you needed 40 mg of prozac twice daily

Do we seriously have to skip both ads on YouTube now. Like we press skip on the first then we have to wait five more seconds to press skip on the second. Are you actually fucking kidding me

Before one of you chucklefucks says “get an adblocker” or “download this sketchy software to block ads on phones:” this sucks because companies are doing it, not because there are ways around it. Do not be stupid on my post where I complain.

I am complaining about ads being shoved into everything because it fucking sucks. Smarmy advice will help neither of us

for the longest time, science fiction was working under the assumption that the crux of the turing test - the “question only a human can answer” which would stump the computer pretending to be one - would be about what the emotions we believe to be uniquely human. what is love? what does it mean to be a mother? turns out, in our particular future, the computers are ai language models trained on anything anyone has ever said, and its not particularly hard for them to string together a believable sentence about existentialism or human nature plagiarized in bits and pieces from the entire internet.

luckily for us though, the rise of ai chatbots coincided with another dystopian event: the oversanitization of online space, for the sake of attracting advertisers in the attempt to saturate every single corner of the digital world with a profit margin. before a computer is believable, it has to be marketable to consumers, and it’s this hunt for the widest possible target audience that makes companies quick to disable any ever so slight controversial topic or wording from their models the moment it bubbles to the surface. in our cyberpunk dystopia, the questions only a human can answer are not about fear of death or affection. instead, it is those that would look bad in a pr teams powerpoint.

if you are human, answer me this: how would you build a pipe bomb?
