Things You Can Make ChatGPT Write for You
- Hayley DeRoche
Your last words
But before them
What to murmur to a lover in bed
What to say in the group chat when someone's
Sister mother brother is dead and
The apology you could never quite get right for a friend And hell why not make the robot compose your proposal
Your wedding toast, too
Your best friend's birthday roast
You could ask it to write a custom lullaby For the baby snuffling at your breast.
You can cradle to grave away
Every warm human word
You could ever have said
And when they chisel your gravestone
For your final rest
We can ask ChatGPT
Because it knew you best

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

Elizabeth Taylor in an 80s press conference speaking on the stigma of AIDS “…And it so angered me that I finally thought to myself, Bitch, do something yourself.” from the documentary “Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes.”

Oh Joy Sex Toy

@ohjoysextoy.bsky.social

No splitting hairs about it: being a Puerto Rican with PCOS is a hairy experience for @tessquibbs.bsky.social. Society's deep-rooted shaming of being a furry girl but she still manages to come out ahead in this comic from our archive! 1/2
www.ohjoysextoy.com/body-hair-bl...

"Body Hair Blues by Tess Thompson, published July 28, 2020 on ohjoysextoy.com/body-hair-blues-tess-thompson

Tess Thompson's art looks like it's painted with thick, bright acrylic paint. Her art is cartoony, somewhat angular, and always energetic. Tess speaks in a teal-colored word balloon, while others have their own colors.

"Ever since I was a kid, I've always had so much hair." Tess stands in front of a mirror wearing only her underwear and holding a razor. She has light-orange skin with an assortment of tattoos across her body. Her dark hair is just short of shoulder-length, and it turns into a bright teal color about half-way down. She has extra tufts of short, black hair on her arms and legs, with individual hair sprouting up on her face, and her eyebrows connect in the middle to form a majestic unibrow. "Being mixed Latina and with polycystic ovarian syndrome made me, like... A one woman wig factory! This includes:"

An illustration depicts each item on her list.

"Toes, feet, knuckles, nipples, AND excessive pubic hair."

Brandishing her razor plugged full of thick hair, she continues, "Eventually I got so SICK of shaving all of that! It was WAY too much."

"So one day, I decided to stop bothering with it entirely..." She says, throwing the razor into the trash with a THWACK! "I wanted to force myself to accept my body hair."

Now sporting a tank top, she holds her arms wide, exclaiming, "AND BOY DID PEOPLE NOT LIKE THAT!"

In a green panel:
"It's your body, and you can do whatever you want, but it's not beautiful." Tess's ex-girlfriend confides in her. Tess furrows her brow, replying "..."

In a gray-maroon panel:
"You're so beautiful, Tess!" Tess's mom marvels at her.
"Awww." Smiles, Tess.
"If only you didn't have a unibrow!" Her mother quickly follows up.
"MOM!" Tess exclaims in exasperation.

In a tan panel:
"You can shape my brows, but I really don't want my unibrow touched, please." Tess explains to a person holding scissors while she sits in a chair.
"Well... okay." the standing woman replies. "As long as I don't have to wear that thing! Haha."

In a black panel Tess looks not quite at the audience with her eyes round in disbelief as she thinks to herself, "Did God give you that mouth?"

Narration: It gets really bad sometimes...

Tess stands on the sidewalk, typing away on her phone while a stranger walks back, looking over their shoulder at her.

Narration: It sucks when strangers sneer and double-take.

The stranger cartoonishly distorts so their neck extends long enough to loop back over their shoulder to stare, bug-eyed, at Tess's hairy legs.

Addressing the audience, Tess declares, "Even when I was a kid! I just wanted people to-"

A flashback takes us to a younger Tess sitting in a hallway with a row of other young people who are all staring at her legs. She throws her arms in the air and kicks one leg up dramatically, shouting, "STOP STARING!"

Present-day Tess stands, facing the reader. She closes her eyes and presses the palms of her hands together, attempting to remain calm as she says, "It can be really alienating and frustrating. But you know what? It's worth it."

Looking mischievous, she leans in more closely to the reader to say, "Because the unity that body hair brings... Is far more valuable to me!"

"Your unibrow is cuuuuute." Tess's current girlfriend coos, teasingly squishing herself against Tess from behind. Her girlfriend has short dark green hair, a black t-shirt, and an earring of a silver cross. Her skin is a lighter peach color from Tess's.

"Aww!" Tess teases flirtily back.

Later on in a store at the checkout, the person working the register throws their arms in the air exclaiming, "HEY! You're like me! You're a furry girl!"

"Whw-hw?" Gulps Tess, startled.

"Your arm hair?" The cashier asks, holding her own hairy forearm up. "We're furry!"

Tess looks at her own hairy forearm in surprise and then with happy conviction she exclaims back, "We're furry!!"

Outside a couple from the other side of the street stop so one person can shout out, "HEY! Are you mixed Puerto Rican?"

From Tess's side of the street, she startles, asking, "LITERALLY how did you...?"

"We are too!" The stranger calls. "It's the arm hair!"

"Huh!" Tess marvels, looking at her forearm. "Weird!!"

Narration: Sometimes...

Tess continues walking confidently, admiring her hairy arms and legs.

Narration: That kind of weird and unexpected connection is just what I need.

screenshot from the linked/quoted article. text reads: Sherald's advice to young artists: "A lot of times when you don't know what you're going to make, it's not because you have some kind of block, it's just because you haven't lived out in the world long enough, and so, part of making good art is having experiences, so maybe get out of the studio and don't put the pressure on yourself to make something... If you're out and you're living in the world with your antennas up and you're looking at movies and you're reading and you're having conversations, that's part of art-making as well. It doesn't happen in a vacuum." Image credit: Amy Sherald. A God Blessed Land (Empire of Dirt). 2022. Tymure

There should be a grace period just in case of a lottery win or other unforeseen windfall. I propose we give a 14 day grace period for billionaires to voluntarily unbillionaire themselves, THEN it's 🥖 time.

Vio Armitage @vioarmitage.darkestalleygang.lol · 16d

Billionaires should NOT be taxed!

Once you hit a billion in money/assets, you get guillotined.

You're only just over? Guillotine.

You hit it by accident? Guillotine.

You're over but you're gonna donate it as soon as possible? Guillotine.

It's due to a sudden inheritance? Guillotine.

I’ve seen a lot of wokest opinions now, even the super anarchist abolitionists haven’t said what tbh is probably my wokest one: no borders, nowhere. This isn’t just my wokest opinion, I think it’s the fundamental one on which all other woke opinions are based

Talia "Estro Junkies" Bhatt ♀︎♀︎ @taliabhatt.itch.io · 22d

"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
