Last rehost…repost…whatever. But I was getting SO PISSED OFF yesterday over all the tumblr A.I. shit. And not because that it’s happening, but because there were a lot of people going like “well, it is what it is. What can you do?” and it was driving me into a blind rage. Folks over on Tumblr and Bluesky felt like they gave up. People I love and respect saying “it’s all bad everywhere, so what’s the point?” Like, yeah, it’s all bad. But you can still do something to say you‘re not putting up with this shit!
I got so upset at that doomer mentality that I had to go to a comfort movie (Riki-Oh: The Story Of Ricky) to calm down. And I guess I still have Feelings™️ the next day. I certainly don’t know how to fix anything. And I don’t blame anyone for continuing to use these tools to connect with a community. But don’t lay down and accept a shit situation. We’re all too valuable to do that to ourselves.
