April, october, november, june

April is my #1. I love the rain, the green, the walking outside bracing for the cold but being greeted with warmth. I love the worms and the tulips (even tho I don’t think they actually bloom yet but I have the association locked in my brain). I got married April 7 just to have something to celebrate in April. June because it feels soft and celebratory. The beginning of summer, it’s exciting and new and I’m not over the heat yet. October for obvious reasons. It’s fully autumn, spooky vibes galore, crunchy leaves underfoot and I can finally layer!!! December, I’m a winter bitch. That first snow gets me giddy. You bet I get holly jolly. I’ve had a mixed relationship with December/christmas/my bday but we’re in a good place now. Plus, gift giving is a love language of mine so this season is like my superbowl.

This is hard to decide

I want to say March because I have several significant dates during that month including Benny’s BIRTHDAY and I love spring, October because I also love fall and the Halloween season especially since moving from the desert to somewhere that actually LOOKS like autumn and has the perfect vibes and activities to do, and December because I do also love winter and the coziness of the holiday season. Really summer is the only season I don’t vibe with despite my birthday being in June…

ChatGPT

started writing this a few hours ago when i first saw this ask, then decided against posting but i've since changed my mind. there really is no justification for it outside of entitlement. even from a selfish lens, there's no long term benefit to its usage. it harms the world and culture in more ways than one. a.) the water and energy usage that isn't a secret at this point. "no ethical consumption under capitalism" yadda yadda and yeah corporations are extremely culpable in the state of the environment but there really is no need for chatgpt and the planet is already too delicate at the moment. b.) the exploitation of workers in the global south. this program is not just a computer figuring it all out, there are in fact humans behind it. it reminds me of the acceptance of fast fashion and how people have the tendency to divorce the idea of the garment worker from the garment they wear when all clothing is handmade in some way, shape or form. you need hands to man a sewing machine, you need human eyes to moderate content. also, content moderation can be a thankless job with psychological repercussions. c.) the erosion of social skills, humanity and media literacy...this one is very personal. like, you have a cushy email job but can't write an email? you need a computer and a worker in kenya to get paid a dollar an hour to figure out a daily routine for you? i've seen the program churn out blatantly incorrect information. fine tuning a prompt or chat or whatever to give you the exact (possibly incorrect) answer you need isn't really that much less work than sharpening your research skills by cracking open a dictionary or using boolean search keys in google. again, the main issue with this kind of stuff is the entitlement to convenience, with no thought towards the repercussions within and outside of us. we are losing major recipes (critical thinking and media literacy) here, people! i probably did an iffy job are coherently articulating my thoughts here but i am in fact, human. and that’s the beauty of it all.
