intrusive thoughts are about fears and the things we least want to happen, not from any instincts or hidden/suppressed desires that we have. that’s why they’re so upsetting and sometimes end up getting worse when trying to avoid them, because it ends up fuelling that fear.

sometimes intrusive thoughts are caused by the smallest things, too! i once had a minor accident with a knife, and then couldn’t be around knives for years without having intrusive thoughts about stabbing myself, for example. there’s no ancient instinct telling me to stab myself, nor did i have some secret suppressed desire to stab myself, it was just my brain processing fear badly and coming up with nightmare scenarios as a way of saying “don’t do this, this would be bad”.

tl;dr: you’re not a bad person if you have intrusive thoughts, no matter what they are. they’re just examples of what you don’t want to happen.

idk, i’m vegan and i think it’d be perfectly ethical to eat centi-billionaires 🤷

he would have been 97 or so if he were alive today, it really brings home how recent it was.

the civil rights movement happened within my parents’ lifetimes, but it’s so often spoken about as though it were ages ago & completely out of living memory (to both minimise it & pretend that society’s totally different now 💔)

that’s a beautiful tabby kangaroo! 🤩

you must have a hell of a voice to be able to do all of these! fair play, break a leg & i hope you enjoy the party 🥳

use photo editing software to copy & paste the character onto whatever backgrounds you want.

shitposts made with ai are generally downvoted into oblivion, btw. meanwhile, people appreciate the effort of diy shitposts. with human-made artisanal shitposts, the time & effort taken to make them is visible! 😚👌

in case anyone isn’t sure what this is for, it’s going to be used to train ai.

the contract they want you to sign also has some waivers (pasted below), which i assume are to pre-empt lawsuits about using your likeness to train ai, and all without really explaining that’s what the photos & videos are for.

excerpt from their linked contract/agreement:

10.2 Class Action Waiver. Independent Contractor and Company mutually agree that by agreeing to arbitrate any dispute, each waives its right to have any dispute or claim brought, heard or arbitrated as a class action or collective action and that the arbitrator will not have any authority to hear or arbitrate any class or collective action (“Class Action Waiver”). 10.3 Representative Action Waiver. Independent Contractor and Company mutually agree that by agreeing to arbitrate, each waives its right to have any dispute or claim brought, heard or arbitrated as a representative action and that the arbitrator will not have any authority to arbitrate a representative action (“Representative Action Waiver”).

the legends say that toby’s still napping now, and on a quiet night like tonight, you can hear him snoring contentedly 😌💚

that’s the film logo from this year, saying “he mr gay”

the stars on the title of the 2007 game “super mario galaxy” are what spell out “u r mr gay” / “you are mr gay”

then the stars on the title of the sequel game in 2010, “super mario galaxy 2” spell out “u r m i a y”, which spelled backwards supposedly says “ya i m, r u?” / “yeah i am, are you?”

so idk, i think he might in fact be mr gay. we might need a film sequel to be sure, though.

the vowels are different etc, but the tweet sets it up like it’s supposed to sound a li’l bit like “tossed salad and scrambled eggs”, which is part of the frasier theme tune.
