A White person can be racist and transphobic and a big big bigot and they would just say “sowwy didn’t mean to…..uwu I was like, drunk” and people will immediately be like “ I’m sorry people are so mean to you, you were just drunk! You didn’t mean to, we get it” but haha if a person of color did anything wrong or didn’t word a certain thing correctly……

ellipsus-writes:

Back when we started Ellipsus (it’s been eighty-four years… or two, but it sure feels like forever), we encountered generative AI.

Immediately, we realized LLMs were the antithesis of creativity and community, and the threat they posed to genuine artistic expression and collaboration. (P.S.: we have a lot to say about it.)

Since then, writing tools—from big tech entities like Google Docs and Microsoft Word, to a host of smaller platforms and publishers—have rapidly integrated LLMs, looking to capitalize on the novelty of generative AI. Now, our tools are failing us, corrupted by data-scraping and hostile to users’ consent and IP ownership.

The future of creative work requires a nuanced understanding of the challenges ahead, and a shared vision—writers for writers. We know we’re stronger together. And in a rapidly changing world, we know that transparency is paramount.

So… some Ellipsus facts:

• We will never include generative AI in Ellipsus.
• We will never access your work without explicit consent, sell your data, or use your work for exploitative purposes.

We believe in the strength of creative communities and the stories they tell—and we want to foster a space in which writers can connect and tell their stories in freedom and safety—without compromise.

Everyone, I’m elated to tell you that Tumblr will be joining Yahoo.

Before touching on how awesome this is, let me try to allay any concerns: We’re not turning purple. Our headquarters isn’t moving. Our team isn’t changing. Our roadmap isn’t changing. And our mission – to empower creators to make their best work and get it in front of the audience they deserve – certainly isn’t changing.

So what’s new? Simply, Tumblr gets better faster. The work ahead of us remains the same – and we still have a long way to go! – but with more resources to draw from.

Yahoo is the original Internet company, and Marissa and her team share our dream to make the Internet the ultimate creative canvas. I couldn’t be more excited to have her help. We also share a vision for Tumblr’s business that doesn’t compromise the community and product we love. Plus both our logos end with punctuation!

As always, everything that Tumblr is, we owe to this unbelievable community. We won’t let you down.

Fuck yeah,
David

i think we should all start using arabic words and phrases more often because its a beautiful language and also theres not really. english equivalents that have the same vibes

theres also the comedy potential of it. you guys dont know the joy of having your muslim friend text you “hopefully the racists in our city will all get sick and cant go to the protest” and you, as a pasty white guy, responding with “inshallah they get covid”

its a one hit KO every time. its fucking hilarious. theres no english word that has the same effect.

he also once texted me that he got over a mysterious illness he came down with (i think? i cant remember the exact context) and i responded with “subhanallah he is cured”

again, one hit KO. he lost his shit.

what im saying is we gotta normalise arabic. its just a language like any other, and it has some great words. its just like saying “thank god” or whatever, but theres so much variety and nuance. its beautiful

what do inshallah and subhanallah mean so I could potentially use em in the correct situations? And potential words I could use?

OK LETS DO THIS

disclaimer i am not arab or muslim and i dont speak arabic but @frogofalltime has explained these words to me and says im using them correctly lmao

inshallah - “if god wills it”. like an “i hope this happens” kind of thing. remember the finding nemo poster “inshallah they find him” meme if that helps. used in future tense.

mashallah - “god has willed it”, used when something good happened. can be used to denote awe about an event or person. used in past tense.

alhamdulillah - essentially “thank god” or “praise be to god”. like mashallah and inshallah but stronger, and can be used in any tense (i think). he will be baked soon alhamdullilah

subhanallah - “glory be to god”. like alhamdullilah but stronger. used for when something almost miraculous happens!

those are all the ones i remember off the top of my head im sure binya can add more (and also confirm whether ive got my translations right)

i think its important to note - in case anyone’s worried about cultural appropriation - “allah” in arabic is just a word that means god. it’s used in the same way as “god” in english where god caaan mean the christian god but can also refer to a norse god or greek god

so inshallah/mashallah/etc aren’t specific to the muslim god, christians who speak arabic will use these same phrases

^ this

i have already had a reply to this post about cultural appropriation lmao

it was literally an arab muslim guy who taught me these phrases and encouraged me to use them. every arab person reblogging this post is saying how much they love when people do this and some are offering additional words and phrases to use

if we shy away from using other languages because we are afraid of ‘appropriation’, we separate ourselves from that culture and dont actually allow ourselves to appreciate it!

i think its more important than ever to normalise arabic. i think a lot of white people (and possibly non arab poc) have this subconscious fear or aversion to it because of propaganda and fearmongering about arabs and muslims. and thats a real shame because arabic is such a beautiful language to read and to speak and to listen to! i love arabic script its so pretty!!

i had this friend in high school who spoke english, french and arabic at home (she was yemeni, i believe?), and listening to her on the phone to her mother was a transcendent moment for me lmao. the way she would switch between the three languages mid sentence, or thow in a filler word from one language while speaking in another, it was awesome

if you feel a knee jerk aversion to using arabic words, perhaps examine why that is, and unpack that. because i know i did at first! i had an unconscious bias that was taught to me by society and the media and possibly my family too. but i sat with that discomfort and i realised that it was completely unfounded. now i think arabic is one of my favourite languages! even tho i dont speak it lol (apart from these few words that i was taught)

speaking arabic in public should not get you dirty looks or verbal abuse, or even physical abuse. but often it does. islamophobia is on the rise. it breaks my heart to see groups of racists in my country attacking immigrants and refugees.

thats kinda why i made this post. because its such a simple thing you can do that normalises these words, and allows our cultures to connect and form understanding. if you know what these words mean, they’re not scary any more. and the people using them aren’t scary either.

idk im just a white guy who’s had a lot of arab and muslim friends over the years, but this is important to me.

I heard reference to something about how all anime are required to have good looking cabbage because of That One Time. So simply looking up “anime cabbage” I found the source.

Some harem anime way back in the day had an episode where the characters cooked, and they animated cabbage so terribly like this it left a bad mark on the anime community forever. Apparently this is part of the reason why all food usually looks good in anime, even moreso than the regular show sometimes. With cabbage being especially well drawn.

A complaint, apparently in a paper.

The first show when released internationally was reanimated in this part.

And high quality or low quality cabbage is sometimes referenced.

I learned of this because the most recent Hologra episode has noel eating cabbage, tearing apart a fine quality cabbage into two low poly halves.

i love learning about other cultures’ memes, especially like this

Idk man, maybe educating yourself about the place you’re visiting + the tours you’re taking would make your vacation enjoyable, but instead you just decide to go with the vibes and end up suffering due to your own ignorance

one of my favourite things about my boyfriend is that he’s 6'4 but convinced he is a normal sized person and this does not constitute “tall”

once, if not twice, a week the card game shop he plays digimon at upload a top-4 photo best described as “gandalf and the hobbits” and every time he is genuinely baffled as to why he looks like that

told him i made this post and he’s still insistent that he isn’t tall

bf: i’m not tall! i feel like everyone i see is around the same height as me. like people in the street

me: they aren’t

bf: but i can see their faces! if i’m looking at their faces they must be the same height

me: you’re looking down slightly babe

bf: why would i do that

me: because you’re tall

incidentally the fact i am 5'5 also comes as a shock to him at least once a day and then he inevitably asks if i’m “normally that short”

if you lean in real close you can hear his singular brain cell bouncing around like a windows screensaver

Has your boyfriend got his eyesight checked? Bc when I don’t wear my glasses I’m nice and close to the ground but when I do it’s HOLY SHIT WHY AM I THIS TALL, I’M AFRAID OF HEIGHTS, HELP ME time and it’s genuinelly terrifying.

he wears glasses he’s just dumb

update to this post from yesterday:

bf: apparently only 7% of people are over 6’ tall
me: yes……..?
bf: that isn’t very many. am i tall?
me: i cannot believe we are having this discussion again. yes. you are tall. you are still tall. you were tall yesterday. you will be tall tomorrow
bf: oh my god i’m tall aren’t i
me: my love the netherlands is the tallest country in the world and even there average male height is 6’ 0.5". you are tall by “kingdom of giants” standards, even. but we live on “shortarse island”, so…
bf: AM i tall though
me: you are 6ft 4

he is he’s very pretty

Can he make spinach puffs? Asking for irrelevant reasons….

having watched emperors new groove (it’s my favourite) he does understand this reference but also he really loves cooking so you saying this has now prompted him to look up how to make spinach puffs

which is to say that yes, he is kronk

fun fact they’re both the same person. same 6'4 boyfriend referred to himself as a short king because he thought it meant a man who really likes wearing shorts

The Paris Olympics insisting that athletes compete in the Seine is so absurd it feels like something Terry Pratchett would want to make fun of. Like can you imagine him writing a Discworld story about a mad Ankh-Moorpark city official deciding to put on some ancient extravagant game, creating havoc in the city by bringing in all these foreigners to compete, and insisting the Ankh river, which is so filthy it’s basically solid, is perfectly fine to swim in, because that’s what they did in ancient times so that’s how they’re going to do it now. I feel like it would be a Night’s Watch story about the people hired to clean the river and all the friends and horrors they discover along the way.

Good luck to all the athletes swimming in the poop water.

I thought “it can’t really be that bad” but

Multiple Olympics 2024 athletes hospitalised after swimming in polluted Seine

“Swimming in the river has been banned since 1923 due to the poor water quality and health hazards.” What the hell were they thinking???

Also apparently the mayor is insisting it’s fake news, and she made a whole show of swimming in it herself to prove it. Do you think she got E. coli and just comedically pretended she didn’t
