Now, I’m someone who loves Disney, don’t get me wrong, but I’m not supporting them, Google, or other affiliated companies because I support Palestine and they support genocide. I couldn’t find this video elsewhere, but I think it’s an important watch. I’d recommend that you only watch this video and avoid looking at the ads, skipping them if it’s an option. It’s very informative on Disney and the negative representation it perpetuates.

I am no longer on DeviantArt. Too much AI content and I heard rumors they're against Palestine. As someone who stands firmly with Palestine and against stolen AI art, I cannot accept this no matter what.

          Some people online are just plain heartless and completely lack empathy. 
          
          Seriously, why would anyone intentionally provoke a veteran with PTSD just because they think our military system is messed up? It's one thing to critique the military or veterans who are part of the problem, but it's a whole different ballgame to go after a veteran who's already suffering, feels guilty about their involvement, and makes effort to atone. We can’t just pick and choose when to be progressive and we have to know the difference between valid criticism and outright bigotry. For instance, we can call out comedians like Dave Chappelle for his harmful, transphobic views without being prejudiced ourselves.

Every time I think humanity can’t let me down any further, they manage to surprise me in the worst way possible. That orange Cheeto man won again. I’m never leaving my house again.

Ugh, my little sister, who’s 22, three years younger than me, and severely autistic is being such a spoiled brat right now. 
          
          For context, she and I are both autistic but she’s got developmental delays to an extent, as she does know better. 
          
          She took a spoon from the dishwasher which might not have been clean, so I try to help her by giving her a spoon I rinsed off for her, and she reacts with violence. She threw a hard bouncy ball at me, then hit the cat. 
          
          I tried to remain calm and be understanding, but I had to get my stepdad for help. Somehow he both helped and made things a little worse. She had this glint in her eyes as she put her dishes in the sink, and after the way she had treated me and Eddie, I snapped and sprayed her with the kitchen faucet sprayer, albeit gently and I tried not to make a mess. I’m not proud of it and I feel bad about it, but considering she’s been behaving this way for years and is spoiled rotten by my family, I consider this my one to her eleven-thousand. 
          
          I’m not going to lose control like that again if I can help it. My sister tried to hit me after being sprayed. Frankly, I don’t blame her, but the way I’m disrespected in my own house, not just by my sister but my own parents, one of these days I’m going to rip out my own hair and give in to my depression and anxiety. No wonder I’m mentally ill. The only ones who actually love me are the cats.

          Now, normally I don’t condone the use of AI, but I also normally don’t mind if you’re messing around on character.ai or similar sites. In this case, I do mind and I heavily discourage and condemn messing around with AI chatbots, but I don’t think AI is solely the problem here, and I’ll explain why in the next paragraphs.
          
          This kid had mental health issues so severe, he was unable to determine that there was no person behind the bot, he was unable to see it wasn’t real even with the warning. As such, he shouldn’t have been using AI chatbots. If you’re at a stage in your life where you can’t differentiate an AI bot from a real person, then I strongly discourage you from using character.ai or similar sites.
          
          He also had access to a gun. Let that sink in.
          
          The language the AI bot used wasn’t encouraging him to end his life, at least that’s not what it looks and sounds like to me, but the kid was struggling so much that’s how he interpreted the words of the bot.

Disclaimer: This is an AI generated answer to a web search on my browser, Brave. I don’t condone the usage of AI unless it’s just for fun or as a supplement (ex. using Character AI to mess around with the bots of fictional characters on there or to assist human efforts without replacing them vs. using it to steal art or as a replacement for human efforts). I just couldn’t stop my browser from generating this answer and some of it was actually on point, so I figured I’d share an edited version of it. If anything is stolen, please let me know.
          
          If you live in a place where showing solidarity with Palestine is dangerous, it’s essential to prioritize your safety while still expressing your support. Here are some ways to do so:
          
          1. Educate Yourself and Others: Continue to learn about the Palestinian struggle and its root causes. Share your knowledge with others, and encourage them to do the same. This can help build a more informed and empathetic community, even if you can’t publicly demonstrate solidarity.
          2. Support Palestinian Artists and Creators: Promote and purchase art, music, and literature created by Palestinians. This helps to amplify their voices and stories, while also supporting their livelihoods.
          3. Participate in Quiet Acts of Solidarity: Engage in small, private acts of solidarity, such as wearing a Palestine-themed pin or scarf, or displaying Palestinian flags or posters in your home, or if you live in a toxic home environment where showing solidarity with Palestine in your home isn’t safe due to your housemates or family members, you can put a watermelon (the symbol of Palestine) on your social media profiles. The Palestinians themselves did this as a form of subtle resistance when their flag was banned by the corrupt Israeli government in 1967 until they tried to ban the colors red, green, and black too. These subtle gestures can still convey your support without putting you at risk.

I finally made a TikTok.

I’m feeling guilty rn. It’s one of those days where it takes everything I have to do something as simple as making a sandwich. I’m 25 now, this shouldn’t be as hard as it is, even with depression, GAD, and ASD, but I literally couldn’t shower when I told myself I would this morning and it took all afternoon just to motivate middle to get in before I finally got in at like 3:30 something. I had to ask my parents for help cooking for myself again and they were tired too, then reminded me I’m 25 now and I need to do these things for myself, so I tried to take it back and tell them it was okay and that I could just drink a smoothie, but mom still insisted. She told me she didn’t mean to make me feel bad, but I likely would have felt bad anyways because I already feel like crap about this and it’s not a matter of the person who brings it up but the subject itself. I was finally making progress too. The healing process is taking its sweet time and I’m getting impatient.
