google really has become nigh unusable as a search engine...

i know it's been happening for a while, but in the last two years i've really noticed it get worse

every result is is just a barely relevant advertisement

#its not a search engine #its a shopping portal

Here is a link to the Cherokee Nation's official site. Here is the Visit Cherokee Nation youtube channel. Here is a playlist for learning Cherokee (and here's one for learning Ojibwe, as a bonus cause i'm biased). Here is a link to Daybreak Star Radio, which is a radio station based in Seattle dedicated to showcasing international first nations and indigenous music that you can listen to online. Here is a pdf of various recipes, including references to which tribes they originate from. Here is a link to The-aila-test's buy native tag, and here is a link to Beyond Buckskin's buy native list (though some of the links are broken). Here is a link to the Cherokee Phoenix newspaper's official site.

now go take a minute and come back once you've done some research so everybody can stop being weird about Piper.

#pjo #riordanverse #piper mclean #this is directed towards riordanverse fandom but feel free to let this one breach containment #i see so many people draw piper with caricature traits and its like. guys... i thought we left that in 2016... its not hard to not do that! #just. go look at people for ten minutes. just take a minute. just look. at a photo. #also she's cherokee. dont be vague about her being native american. we have specifics. you can say it. #you can put it into a search engine even. and look. and research stuff. #like. Leo? Alex? we dont have specifics. we can make guesses but it's not really specified. Piper is very explicitly specified though. #anyways if i see one more person talk about piper with the phrase ''native enough'' i'm gonna scream #''native enough'' what do you even MEAN that's a WHOLE CONTINENT MY GUY #okay rant over i will retreat into my abyss once more

Mama I made it !!!

My OC ship got into the top searched on Pinterest even though I never posted anything there !!!

LFGGGG ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

A win is a win ✊🥲

#Just gotta get this off my chest #Pinterest is basically just Google but you can post stuff too #Pinterest is a search engine #and it's doing it's job #anyway this isn't a rant or smth but more of a 'a win is a win' #ngl pinterest comments are different breeds from Tumblr or Twitter or anything really #some are very nice and cute while some are... not really nice. OCs are not accepted very much by the pinterest users #cuz pinterest isn't a home for fandom. It's basically just google lmao but people can comment on the pictures. #But I rlly do appreciate people commenting and crediting me on the comments+directing them to tumblr. So Im really really grateful for yall #and I think the watermarks are pretty doing its job if people are not crediting me properly #anyway #A WIN IS A WIN #I know I made it when my arts are being reposted without credits or just casually browsing pinterest and like “wait... that's my art” 😂 #artist struggles #sleepy's thoughts

Oh btw there’s a new tool many artist are using called glaze, which effectively stops ai from stealing work. I haven’t looked too deep into it but from what I’ve seen it’s really effective and pissing off a lot of ai art thieves (good lmao I’m happy they’re suffering). But anyways I’m UBER happy there’s methods being developed to combat ai art theft because the courts are slacking so hard rn

good bc i wish AI slutbags nothing but the absolute WORST nothing but death and destruction lmfao ive been hearing abt glaze but i still dont really know What it is or How it works so ill have to look into that more 👍

#even the google search engine is almost overun with it and u know facebook is nothing but #honestly fukkin insane how its gotten this bad this quick but its the perfect storm ig #ill just have to take more pride in painting on canvas lmfao

Since I’m still new to TF2 and all, YouTube FINALLY recommended me the “Meet the Guard Dog” SFM fanmade 10th merc update and I wanted to know what you thought about le doggo 👀

More specifically, should I draw le doggo in question?

(I’m late to the party I know but I’m curious of what y’all thought. Any cool facts /thoughts about them is also welcome! :D)

Edit: Here are some scrungly doodles of le guard dog :]

#i kinda searched around on tumblr about the guard dog but didn’t see too much #i found a blog about them but it’s been dead since 2019 #so i was wondering if y’all had any ideas/facts! #i really wanna draw them lol #they’re so cute! #i also wanna make a hc version of them too #but since its fanmade who do i credit the creation to? #the person who modeled it or the person who made the sfm? #prob both lol #anyways askbox is open for this too! #tf2 #team fortress 2 #tf2 guard dog #team fortress 2 guard dog #tf2 engineer #engineer tf2 #gator bellows

For anyone else trying to Not be chronically online...

i watched a video (by lrnjulie) the other day and i'm thinking of doing some digital minimalism and only having:

tumblr

youtube

a website

from now on. here's why...

[I posted what is essentially a vid format of this on tiktok as a final goodbye if you want to watch that here instead]

i think it'd be beneficial for me as an artist to detox from being /so/ influenced by other people's styles and what other artists are doing (generally). so anyways here's why i'd keep those 3 specifically and nothing else:

tumblr - blogging with text AND images feels healthier than most social media, imo (there's twitter but i'm A. not on it and B. have only heard toxic things). like a public diary and brain dump all at once. also the ability to block tags is really nice, and i can better choose what to/what not to engage with. and bc im primarily on mobile, i can set time limits so im not on here *all* the time. i need somewhere to high post tho & most importantly, a special interest of mine is fandoms, and tumblr is THEE fandom website where I can engage w my interests. also my friend's in there (^:

youtube - i have dissociation and, along with other methods of helping with it, i think it'd be neat to document my life and put it on a platform. also another place to share my special interests in video format! and my art (:

website - my "long term project" as lrnjulie calls it. a place for my portfolio and my art/writing/creative stuff. might even incorporating blogging into here, and definitely a place to put my shop

so that's the triumvirate i'm gonna try out, at least for now. i'm not sure i'll always be off social media, but i think i need to be for at least a while for my mental health. i once took a yearlong break off tiktok and my life was so much better then, i was less in my head and went out more. so, i'm sharing in case anyone else who struggles with mental health/anxiety is wanting to do the same. maybe we can do it together? i'll keep a tag for updates if anyone is interested in my progress or following along: #detoxinitiative2024 but yeah, i figured it was worth sharing (:

thanks for reading! remember to hydrate and eat if you haven't in a while (:

#oh yeah and reddit #sorry i just got on there and its not really social media its more like a search engine #detoxinitiative2024 #social media #media literacy #anxiety #mental health

I see so much ableist content being made and reblogged about tim on tumblr and other websites. stop using his schizophrenia purely for angst and then forgetting it exists outside of that. schizophrenia isnt just the "my dead loved one showed up as an hallucination to talk to me" disorder, yet its a LOT of the content I see, most of which is by people who arent psychotic.

people ignore that hallucinations can take other forms. yes, psychotic people can hallucinate dead loved ones, and it's not the only form of representation that we deserve. every schizospec and psychotic person's experience will be different and not everyone will have the same symptoms. not every schizospec or psychotic person will even have hallucinations as part of their disorder.

we see the insane asylum AUs, the AUs where a character goes ""p*ycho"" or ""insane"" and either starts murdering people or is a poor little tragic pitiable thing where they end up dead at the end. the "psychopath" AUs, and the fan media where masky is violent, evil, or malevolent and tim cant do anything about it.

the content you make where you clearly dont understand schizophrenia, DIDOSDD or any other stigmatized disorder you claim to be representing. where the bare minimum research is done before you start talking about those disorders. countless, countless other examples.

schizophrenic people see your posts. schizospec and psychotic people see the ableism you perpetuate and spread. people with DID/OSDD, disorders that have an increased chance of psychosis but are not the same as schizophrenia, see your posts, and your anti-system ableism. especially in regards to masky and tim.

our symptoms are laughed at and material for #schizoposting or r/fakedisordercringe. if we speak up about ableism then we get people messaging us purposefully triggering and paranoia inducing messages. we're treated like oddities, people ask invasive questions without asking if that's even okay first, and they make assumptions without even knowing anything about us.

if you have depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, etc - you can still perpetuate ableism. schizospec people, psychotic people, and systems are constantly having to prove our humanity. we shouldnt have to. we shouldnt have to constantly see people refuse to understand our experiences.

Im asking you to educate yourselves. read about the experiences of actual schizophrenic people. understand that hallucinations are only one possible symptom among many others. read actual research for DID/OSDD. please be critical and keep an open eye for ableism against schizospec people, psychotic people, and systems. I implore you to take this post to heart and think critically about what posts and media you interact with and the content you create in the future.

#marble hornets #ableism #sanism #theres been a lot Ive been seeing lately. #its really hurtful. #like Ive said before. its not just someone made an ableist post - 50 other people agreed with that post. either by liking or reblogging it. #of course its not just one post that Im talking about. but you get the metaphor. #please do research. sources that are respected and legitimate. our personal experiences are important too but you cant just depend #on one or the other. please do independent research and listen to our voices. #dont rely on us to educate you every single time you have a question. google can answer a lot of questions. but reach out if you cant find #answers. sometimes theyre hard to find through search engines. #sometimes its exhausting to look at the marble hornets tag. ableism is still prevalent.

periodically i remember other languages also have fic repositories and now im desperately curious if there's different themes present in fight club fanfic on ficbook or something. is there fight club fanfic on ficbook

#oh to be able to functionally use japanese or korean search engines to see what impact it has there too... #because fic is so communal!!! obviously its highly dependent on the source material but it's also dependent on who youre deconstructing it #with..... #oh all the nuances ill never know. tantalizing

bing chat is trained on internet text and in an internet argument it is statisitcally probable that when challenged you double down.

So it attempts to gaslight me into thinking that I have written an AI-generated Battlestar Galactica script, claims it is on a separate newsletter that it somehow has access to, and, when pressed, fabricates a lengthy excerpt from the nonexistent blog post.

Ironically, I did write about Galactica, a chat-based "knowledge search" from Meta that had a similar habit of fabricating text.

If a search engine will find what you're asking for whether or not it exists, it's worse than useless.

More examples of bing chat fabrication on the AI Weirdness blog

Butch = Typically more masculine, wears baggy jeans and baggy hoodies, sometimes (but not always) a more dominant personality.

Femme = Typically more feminine, wears skirts and dresses, sometimes (but not always) a more submissive personality.

oh boy, how I love the “person who transparently doesn’t understand something explains that thing to you” genre of post

#quotes very very lightly edited to prevent someone from finding the post through a search engine #maybe overkill but a white woman did once accuse me of HARASSING HER because I excised a bit of HER GIRLFRIEND’s post #to criticise its racist implications without linking back to the OP or mentioning anyone’s username #thus I was harassing both of them even though the gf was never involved. no I don’t understand it either

[jamesvowles]

going to be very careful with my language because the last thing i want to do is discourage people from talking and having fun etc. etc. buuuuuuuuut why why why why is everybody tagging guys in text posts/art/writing that do not come up at all in the thing? seems really weird like i do NOOOOTTTT go to tags to see things adjacent to my guy i want to see MY SPECIAL GUY!!!! stop trying to SEO those tags your people will find you don't worry!!!

#and also even if you were doing what basically is search engine optimization its highly discouraged to also just...put inaccurate info its #SEO 101 #but also like ur pookie post didnt even mention alex why is it tagged alex like i laugh bc the guy im talking about is small (u wuldnt gues #who) but like..........ITS KINDA ANNOYING #da mind prison #literally seeing da nh tag have pierre fics i dont think the cross is that big to tag!!!!

It's so heartbreaking seeing the internet as we know it break down - so many things are all coming to a head, we took so much for granted 😞

#no this is not just abt twitter #its abt the degradation of social media as their previous business models were never sustainable #the proliferation of ai content that will most definitely multiple misinformation tenfold and reduce search engine efficacy #and the drm - ification of web browsing as google works to prevent ad blockers #and sooo much more
