If you’ve bought our socks, donate monthly at http://pih.org/hankandjohn, or just give a shit about maternal and child health… thank you.
And HUGE, HUGE thanks to the Sierra Leonean government for all their support. This is their hospital–owned by the Sierra Leonean people through their government.
it always bothers me that gaylors are the only ones ever given shit for making assumptions about taylor’s life. you can say she’s pregnant, engaged, still in love with harry, whatever you want as long as it involves a man and no one bats an eye. but the second you bring up a queer lyric you’re told you’re invading her privacy and sexualizing her.
and on that note the word “sexualizing” has lost all meaning. you can talk about queer romance without it being sexual. if you see someone mentioning her queerness and immediately call them out for “sexualizing” her you’re homophobic. end of story.
do u remember when taylor swift said she bets she “can still melt your world, argumentative, antithetical dreamgirl” and everyone was like “nothing gay about this” do you guys remember that!
i fucking can’t. media literacy is dead honestly.
And for the first several months of that song’s existence it was only available on the LAVENDER edition CD.
how i’m handling my students using AI to write papers:
-don’t accuse them on using AI from the get-go and instead ask them to informally define all the huge words that they used in their essay which i know they don’t know the meaning of
-ask to see their original file where they “wrote” the essay. go to version history to see if it was just copy and pasted and then just edited a bit. i keep an eye out for the shit like “certainly! here’s an essay about….”
-if they own up to it, they can re-do the assignment for a higher grade even if there will be an automatic penalty. if they don’t, i process it like plagiarism and get my supervisor involved.
And this is much better than the immediate accusations. Some students have a good vocabulary. Stop accusing them of faking their essays without proof, and this is a good way to check.
Fellow students please stop using AI, go back to promising not to kill the school nerd if they do all your homework or something.
😳 <- this emoji but without the blush or romantic connotation. im not blushing im staring you directly in your fucking eyes
if you excuse the bad editing it would look like this
can we hit 150k before this piece of shits one year anniversary
u know before yellow emojis took over as automatic, the one we used for this exactly was O_O . which has unfortunately become the shortcut for the stupid blushy one. but we also used to emphasize the emotion by making the mouth bigger, O_________O . there was also o_O , for when you’re weirded out, and o_o for small weirds or intrigue. you could use a period instead of an underscore for the mouth, o.o, O.O, which was a little more like shock.
there was also -_- for when you’re annoyed. -_-* for pissed. the asterisk is a forehead vein. a very bad day or very bad joke could result in -___________-********** .
anyway that’s your history lesson for the day, dont forget your roots.
let us also not forget the meekest of them all: ._.
