My flapper dress came! I’m hosting a murder mystery with some friends as a last big social thing before my surgery, and I love this dress so MUCH! I haven’t been able to stop singing Great Gatsby songs! On another note, my character is the very flirtatious girl and I think it’s so funny because I’m not like that at all! And the guy flirtatious character is my cousin, so that’s kinda awkward lol!
My mom is in the food blogging and recipe testing industry. And AI has slowly been taking over her industry and this is HORRIBLE!
AI steals recipes from countless websites and mush them together to make some contraption. The recipes one these sites have been tried and tested and have had blood sweat and tears up into them. AI. has never personally tried making these recipes, never testing it over and over again till everything had perfect like my mom has.
The food blogger industry is also a women-dominated field, many of these women are the only source of income for their families (Like my mom). AI is stripping them of a community. they have spent time building.
So I am asking you to:
refrain from using AI to find recipes
Searching up the recipe and ACTUALLY CLICKING ON THE WEBSITE!
Interacting with the post is a small thing you can do, but it helps a lot.
Just leaving it open for a bit: Most bloggers get money from ad revenue, so playing more ads will get them more money
Here is a list of food bloggers that are INCREDIBLE, and I know personally:
Kristyn Merkley AKA Lil' Luna (a Hispanic food blogger known for her Mexican food)
Jamielyn Nye AKA I Heart Nap Time ( Mother and has awesome cookie recipies)
Mel AKA Mel's Kitchen Cafe (Lots of good recipies)
Tag any other good food bloggers that could use some love during this difficult time for these small buisness owners! And PLEASE share and spread the message!
Yesssss @foolish-rat this is your pookie
i really love the idea of ryker being a "neutral" antagonist, just a guy working in the family business, has a wife and kids at home, accepted that he wasn't the best choice to become the chief/leader of the hunters so let his younger brother handle that, a "just doing my job" kind of man, a "i don't get paid enough for this" type guy.
the dragon riders start ruining operations and he's at home setting the table for dinner while complaining to his wife about work. he sees the riders in person and he gets a headache from how young they all are, bunch of toddlers on dragons. insufferable.
dagur joins the crew and ryker wants to file a workplace harassment complaint. he just wants to catch some dragons, earn some money, but now he has to deal with dragon riders and some maniac who's obsessed with one of them. why is he involved in this again??? they manage to capture some of the riders, but now he has a bunch of teens in the cells, and no idea what to do with them. they escape, so whatever, not his problem anymore. wait, they have the artifact? dammit.
i especially love if he's the only "normal" one in the room, like yeah of course he's pissed about the riders attacking his business, and he'll try to stop them, but he's nowhere on the level of alvin, dagur or krogan. he has hiccup captured and hiccup is very cagey around him, extremely wary, double snarky but hunched shoulders like he's expecting a punch. ryker is a bit confused about that, but hey, hiccup is a prisoner so of course he's gonna be wary, but then dagur tells him stories of what he and alvin used to do and ok yeah, he'd be cagey too if he was hiccup, because what the fuck.
i can just imagine the conversations between these two so well,
ryker: about the prisoner, any ideas?
dagur: we can toss him overboard near an island and watch him struggle in the cold water as he tries to swim to shore before dragging him back up like we're hunting him for sport
ryker:
ryker: i meant whether we would put him in the cells or the chambers, what in gods name is wrong with you
it's just we already have so many insane violent villains i just want someone to be Normal and have a stunned reaction to the shit the other bad guys are getting up to, and i feel family man ryker would fit that job perfectly.
Had to draw this
I am currently writing a 5 paragraph essay I found online and relating it back to the current state of our nation…
anyone want to read it when I’m done?
Guess who’s sinking back into one of her old hyper fixations???
This part of a Hamilton page I’m working on, and I just wanted to highlight this silly little guy
I was in an apartment setting up my easel, when I heard the door knock, this gruff looking twink walked in and asked me who’s him.
I look behind me to find House posing dramatically on a stool, he simply turns to the man and says, “she’s doing nude stylings of me while fully clothes”
I’m so embarrassed but House kept taking and asked the guy, “lemme guess Italian twink who’s boyfriend works for the opposing gang?” And I laughed so hard I woke up
More character sheets! Meet Riyo, a koi fish inspired siren!
