PSA CAN’T BELIEVE I’M POSTING THIS. STOP AI.

The first image is a prompt I posted on my prompt blog LAST YEAR.

The second image is from an application called c.ai. On MY post, a viewer commented, telling people that there’s a character with this very dialogue.

Mind you, NO ONE ASKED ME FOR PERMISSION. Though it wasn’t stolen word for word, this is very obviously taken from my prompt which I took the time to write and publish. This is MY writing, and though I share it publicly, that does not give anyone the right to make money off of it. I did NOT CONSENT TO MY PROMPT BEING USED IN AI.

I honestly am not even sure what action to take but please please please bring attention to this and reblog. We need to end AI and the act of stealing artists’ work. I can’t believe this.

I PUBLISHED A BOOK!

So, I have definitely not been that active lately, and part of that is because I’ve been working on editing and publishing my book. It’s finally done and is available as an ebook on Amazon/Kindle. It’s FREE until December 2nd, so if anyone wants to download it that would help me out so much with getting it out there! Hardcover and paperback will be available eventually.

The book is called What Tragedies Make and it’s a YA, contemporary crime fiction featuring a lesbian romance.

Tumblr has really helped me improve my writing skills over the years, and the support and encouragement I’ve gotten from the amazing people on here has been so helpful!!

Also, PLEASE REBLOG THIS!! The more people that see it, the better! That's all, thanks :D

Prompt 130

The hero’s chest squeezed as they were dropped into the large tank. The cold, murky water felt like it was spilling into their bones. Villain stood on a ladder, peering over the high walls, smiling. The hero knew they shouldn’t say anything, but their nervousness got the better of them.

“What the h-hell is this for?”

And the villain giggled.

“This tank has over 500 gallons of water in it.” They were silent for a few seconds as they pulled something from their pocket. “This,” they said, holding up a tiny glass vial, “is a Irukandji jellyfish. It’s barely a centimeter big, yet it’s incredibly lethal. And it’s also translucent, making it even harder to see. The pain from its sting is unbearable, so much so that many beg for death after being stung. One requires rapid first aid in order to survive the poison. I’ll leave you in the water for an hour. If you haven’t been stung, I’ll let you go, and if you do, welll, I don’t have a lot of the first aid supplies and I’m not wasting it on you.” They ripped the top off the vial and tossed it into the tank.

Prompt 129

Hero couldn’t hold back a laugh as they skimmed the news titles that day. Apparently a villain had tried to shut down the city’s power grid and had miserably failed.

“Who the would be stupid enough to do that?” They mumbled to themself, apparently not quiet enough for Villain not to hear as they walked into the room. Hero turned around. Their roommate’s hair stuck out in odd directions and was singed in places, looking as if it was sprayed with that cheap hair dye that comes in cans.

“Maybe they weren’t stupid and just didn’t know that water was actually a good conductor for electricity.”

Sigh.

I'm putting this here because my therapist said I should. Am stressed. I failed the bar in February and as a result, I lost my job. I've been trying to study and I have a job lined up to start in August (I was supposed to start a while ago but I was so incredibly ill, we had to push it back).

As of right now, I'm officially out of money. Bills are still coming in and I had to spend a bit on meds when I was So Fucking Ill the last few weeks. I wasn't able to do as much work on art and furniture flipping as I'd have liked. When I try, I tend to overwork myself and relapse into The Sickness.

So uh.

Therapist said I should give you guys my kofi link. I feel dumb asking, but if you like me or my writing and want me to continue having things like internet and running water..bbbbuy me a coffee? Is that the line?

Not at all required, I love you all.

I'm just struggling right now and just need to make it by until the job starts in August.

Prompt 128

Hero had first been assigned to fight Villain a while ago, and the two had apparently grown close. They were always sneaking off from their fights to go and frolic somewhere. Hero seemed absolutely enamored by them… and Superhero loathed it. Hero used to spend their free time talking to them, sometimes playing cards or other games when some other heroes joined in. But now all they could ever focus on was Villain. Superhero’s blood boiled every time they saw them together, every time Hero left the agency to go “fight”, every time they went to check on them after they hadn’t come back only to find them canoodling in an alley with Villain. God, it was infuriating. If Superhero had any say in it, Hero would never see them again. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the authority to re-assign Hero without their permission. So what could they do? They pondered nearly every day. That was, until a bottle of sleeping pills caught their eye as they were shopping. They smirked as they took them off the shelf. They would definitely be inviting Hero over for a drink later.

hey all

so in a more practical application of the "larp a republican if you're gonna call them" post that got huge, North Carolina is about to have abortion access slashed if nothing's done about it.

SB20 got passed and went up to Gov. Cooper who vetoed it, but there's very very slight veto-proof supermajority in the legislature. Unless at least one Republican breaks ranks the veto will be overridden.

I made a google doc to organize, and you don't have to be a North Carolinian to participate:

Even if you can't participate, please share. A lot of people might lose yet more of their rights very soon.

We are not going to let that fuckwad DeSantis gain a foothold in the 2024 election.

You are going to fucking vote for Joe Biden, and you are going to give us a fucking chance to save our country from fascism, and you aren't going to fucking complain about it, because there is literally no other choice.

We will not let another election be a close call. Are you listening?

Vote for Biden. Vote for whatever Democrat is most popular in your local elections. Our system sucks, but this is what we're working with. Just fucking vote.

Prompt 127

“Remind me again why we’re going into this building again?” the hero asked as they stared at the rickety structure. 

“I just need to get something,” the villain said quietly. Although they walked quickly, they always managed to keep the hero in front of them. The two were almost to the doors now, and Villain felt like they were about to pass out from how fast they were breathing. Hero held the door open for them.

“Are you okay?” they asked as the villain walked in after them. Villain didn’t have time to answer before a flash lit up the dark entryway, and crackling noise echoed in the dark room. Hero convulsed for a few seconds before falling to the ground, still spasming. 

“Good job, Villain. I knew you had it in you,” Supervillain said mockingly from a dark corner of the room. The henchman that had tased Hero zip-tied their hands behind their back and started dragging them to the back door. 

“Why would you do this? I thought we were friends!” Hero forced through their twitching lips.

Villain was nearly crying as they replied. “I’m sorry. I needed to get something back from them. I’m so sorry.”

Hero had no idea what they meant by that until they were almost out of the room, when Supervillain snapped their fingers and a henchman hurried back with the barely conscious form of villain’s sidekick.

URGENT: 🚨🚨EARN IT ACT IS BACK IN THE SENATE 🚨🚨 TUMBLR’S NSFW BAN HITTING THE ENTIRE INTERNET THIS SUMMER 2023

April 28, 2023

I’m so sorry for the long post but please please please pay attention and spread this

What is the EARN IT Act?

The EARN IT Act (s. 1207) has been roundly condemned by nearly every major LGBTQ+ advocacy and human rights organization in the country.

This is the third time the Senate has been trying to force this through, and I talked about it last year. It is a bill that claims "protects children and victims against CSAM" by creating an unelected and politically appointed national commission of law enforcement specialists to dictate "best practices" that websites all across the nation will be forced to follow. (Keep in mind, most websites in the world are created in the US, so this has global ramifications). These "best practices" would include killing encryption so that any law enforcement can scan and see every single message, dm, photo, cloud storage, data, and any website you have every so much as glanced at. Contrary to popular belief, no they actually can't already do that. These "best practices" also create new laws for "removing CSAM" online, leading to mass censorship of non-CSAM content like what happened to tumblr. Keep in mind that groups like NCOSE, an anti-LGBT hate group, will be allowed on this commission. If websites don't follow these best practices, they lose their Section 230 protections, leading to mass censorship either way.

Section 230 is foundational to modern online communications. It's the entire reason social media exists. It grants legal protection to users and websites, and says that websites aren't responsible for what users upload online unless it's criminal. Without Section 230, websites are at the mercy of whatever bullshit regulatory laws any and every US state passes. Imagine if Texas and Florida were allowed to say what you can and can't publish and access online. That is what will happen if EARN IT passes. (For context, Trump wanted to get rid of Section 230 because he knew it would lead to mass govt surveillance and censorship of minorities online.)

This is really not a drill. Anyone who makes or consume anything “adult” and LGBT online has to be prepared to fight Sen. Blumenthal’s EARN IT Act, brought back from the grave by a bipartisan consensus to destroy Section 230. If this bill passes, we’re going to see most, if not all, adult content and accounts removed from mainstream platforms. This will include anything related to LGBT content, including SFW fanfiction, for example. Youtube, Twitter, Reddit, Tiktok, Tumblr, all of them will be completely gutted of anything related to LGBT content, abortion healthcare, resources for victims of any type of abuse, etc. It is a right-wing fascists wet dream, which is why NCOSE is behind this bill and why another name for this bill is named in reference to NCOSE.

NCOSE used to be named Morality in Media, and has rebranded into an "anti-trafficking" organization. They are a hate group that has made millions off of being "against trafficking" while helping almost no victims and pushing for homophobic laws globally. They have successfully pushing the idea that any form of sexual expression, including talking about HEALTH, leads to sex trafficking. That's how SESTA passed. Their goal is to eliminate all sex, anything gay, and everything that goes against their idea of ‘God’ from the internet and hyper disney-fy and sanitize it. This is a highly coordinated attack on multiple fronts.

The EARN IT Act will lead to mass online censorship and surveillance. Platforms will be forced to scan their users’ communications and censor all sex-related content, including sex education, literally anything lgbt, transgender or non-binary education and support systems, aything related to abortion, and sex worker communication according to the ACLU. All this in the name of “protecting kids” and “fighting CSAM”, both of which the bill does nothing of the sort. In fact it makes fighting CSEM even harder.

EARN IT will open the way for politicians to define the category of “pornography" as they — or the lobbies that fund them — please. The same way that right-wing groups have successfully banned books about race and LGBT, are banning trans people from existing, all under the guise of protecting children from "grooming and exploitation", is how they will successfully censor the internet.

As long as state legislatures can tie in "fighting CSAM" to their bullshit laws, they can use EARN IT to censor and surveill whatever they want.

This is already a nightmare enough. But the bill also DESTROYS ENCRYPTION, you know, the thing protecting literally anyone or any govt entity from going into your private messages and emails and anything on your devices and spying on you.

This bill is going to finish what FOSTA/SESTA started. And that should terrify you.

Senator Blumenthal (Same guy who said ‘Facebook should ban finsta’) pushed this bill all of 2020, literally every activist (There were more than half a million signatures on this site opposing this act!) pushed hard to stop this bill. Now he brings it back, doesn’t show the text of the bill until hours later, and it’s WORSE. Instead of fixing literally anything in the bill that might actually protect kids online, Bluemnthal is hoping to fast track this and shove it through, hoping to get little media attention other than propaganda of “protecting kids” to support this shitty legislation that will harm kids. Blumental doesn't care about protecting anyone, and only wants his name in headlines.

It will make CSAM much much worse.

One of the many reasons this bill is so dangerous: It totally misunderstands how Section 230 works, and in doing so (as with FOSTA) it is likely to make the very real problem of CSAM worse, not better. Section 230 gives companies the flexibility to try different approaches to dealing with various content moderation challenges. It allows for greater and greater experimentation and adjustments as they learn what works – without fear of liability for any “failure.” Removing Section 230 protections does the opposite. It says if you do anything, you may face crippling legal liability. This actually makes companies less willing to do anything that involves trying to seek out, take down, and report CSAM because of the greatly increased liability that comes with admitting that there is CSAM on your platform to search for and deal with. This liability would allow anyone for any reason to sue any platform they want, suing smaller ones out of existence. Look at what is happening right now with book bans across the nation with far right groups. This is going to happen to the internet if this bill passes.

(Remember, the state department released a report in December 2021 recommending that the government crack down on “obscenity” as hard the Reagan Administration did. If this bill passes, it could easily go way beyond shit red states are currently trying. It is a goldmine for the fascist right that is currently in the middle of banning every book that talks about race and sexuality across the US.)

The reason these bills keep showing up is because there is this false lie spread by organizations like NCOSE that platforms do nothing about CSEM online. However, platforms are already liable for child sexual exploitation under federal law. Tech companies sent more than 45 million+ instances of CSAM to the DOJ in 2019 alone, most of which they declined to investigate. This shows that platforms are actually doing everything in their power already to stop CSEM by following already existing laws. The Earn It Act includes zero resources for proven investigation or prevention programs. If Senator Bluementhal actually cared about protecting youth, why wouldn’t he include anything to actually protect them in his shitty horrible bill? EARN IT is actually likely to make prosecuting child molesters more difficult since evidence collected this way likely violates the Fourth Amendment and would be inadmissible in court.

I don’t know why so many Senators are eager to cosponsor the “make child pornography worse” bill, but here we are.

HOW TO FIGHT BACK

EARN IT Act was introduced just two weeks ago and is already being fast-tracked. It will be marked up the week of May 1st and head to the Senate floor immediately after. If there is no loud and consistent opposition, it will be law by JUNE! Most bills never go to markup, so this means they are putting pressure to move this through. There are already 20 co-sponsors, a fifth of the entire Senate. This is an uphill battle and it is very much all hands on deck.

CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES.

This website takes you to your Senator / House members contact info. EMAIL, MESSAGE, SEND LETTERS, CALL CALL CALL CALL CALL. Calling is the BEST way to get a message through. Get your family and friends to send calls too. This is literally the end of free speech online.

3. SPREAD THE WORD ONLINE

If you have any social media, spread this online. One of the best ways we fought back against this last year was MASSIVE spread online. Tiktok, reddit, twitter, discord, whatever means you have at least mention it. We could see most social media die out by this fall if we don't fight back.

Here is a linktree with more information on this bill including a masterpost of articles, the links to petitions, and the call script.

DISCORD LINK IF YOU WANT TO HELP FIGHT IT

TLDR: The EARN IT Act will lead to online censorship of any and all adult & lgbt content across the entire internet, open the floodgates to mass surveillance the likes which we haven’t seen before, lead to much more CSEM being distributed online, and destroy encryption. Call 202-224-3121 to connect to your house and senate representative and tell them to VOTE NO on this bill that does not protect anyone and harms everyone.

Prompt 125

“Alright gang, good work today!” Superhero announced cheerily. “What d’ya say we get some celebratory milkshakes on the way back to the base?”

The rest of the hero’s in the van responded with agreements and cheers. Well, save for Hero who raised their hand.

“Yeah, but can we make a quick pit stop at the hospital first?”

“…Why?” Superhero questioned. Hero let out a shaky laugh as they lifted their shirt, revealing a stab wound.

oh hey lmao since we're at the starting stages of a trans genocide in the US, I wanna remind everyone that they will try to erase this. They will try to rewrite history so that this never happened, or everyone was on our side in the beginning, or whatever makes them look better. They're already trying to re-write history and erase us from the start, with bills that make it illegal to teach queerness in classrooms. We cannot let this happen. We cannot let them erase our history.

We're lucky we live in the age of the Internet where nothing is truly erased. We gotta use this to our advantage.

Be loud. Be angry. Do not let them erase us.

[the-luminol-writer]

when you call your reps to ask them to pretty please stop taking away your rights, remember:

In deep red areas you're a republican who is thinking of voting for someone else if they don't vote what you want on this specific bill because it impacts your republican ideals so very much

In swing states you're an undecided voter who's gonna go blue if they don't vote how you like

remember to call because that way their phone is going off and their peers can hear it because their offices are close together (emails and letters don't work like that), so it can rattle them if they get high volumes. remember that you gotta make them feel like they're losing something.
