so awk

my first kiss was during my sophomore year of high school. my friends set up a mistletoe for me and one of my friends at the time, we kissed under it. both of us were very confused because it was the first time for both of us. we then watched a few movies and started dating that very night. even though we have parted by now I still remember that memory fondly, it was pure and real

A 3 part saga (because i feel like oversharing)

The first kiss that came to mind wasn’t really a kiss, but was important to me at the time. I must have been in 5th grade, and I was at the local pool when someone told me this cute 6th grader wanted to kiss me. I made him come ask me himself lol, but I was too scared so I said I’d only do it underwater. It was cute. We proceeded to be bf/gf but literally never spoke. Regardless, my AIM profile said big and bold I LOVE AJ SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! A month or two later he broke up with my via my brother. I was heartbroken for maybe a half an hour, when I came to and realized that I was being over dramatic. Then I didn’t care and moved on to my next obsession. I then thought my first kiss kiss came in 8th grade while watching the Exorcist in my basement with a bunch of friends. It was not enjoyable, for the record. But my first kiss actually was with one of my three best friends in 7th grade. We went through this phase where we would pitch a tent in our backyards and we did a lot of things our parents probably wouldn’t like. “Practicing” kissing one another was a regular thing. I think it’s safe to say we actually just enjoyed kissing each other 🤷‍♀️ Anyway, I still love kissing. I think it’s just so fun!!!

Kissing your best friend

My first kiss was my then and current best friend. We dated in middle school and a bit of freshman year. It was something I wanted to do so bad but was so terrified, I couldn’t fathom being that close to someone else’s face. I was probably 14. We laugh at this now. I remember being so shocked at how soft and squishy it felt. It was very awkward but I am proud of that being my first ever kiss haha. Strange… @WEMBYFLOWERS remember? And I’ll do it again 💋hahahha

WHY THO?

Why not go through the process of blending those images yourself? Why not use process as an experiment? Why AI? What part are you playing? What makes it yours? I think AI is impersonal. I think it is unethical when it has relied on the theft of actual people’s actual physical (and because of the nature of art, often time emotional) labor. I also think it is unnecessary in creating art. I also think the environmental impacts are atrocious. I also think AI’s biggest supporters are being maliciously ignorant because it’s a fun new toy. Is it ease? Is it efficiency? People talk about accessibility as if children don’t use crayons and stickers! As if graffiti artists don’t use postal labels as sticker, as if sand mandalas don’t exist, as if cardboard and tape aren’t in over abundance.

Tbh, i mostly hate the re-rec feature

Maybe this isn’t so much a fix for staff, but I feel like the reposting of things has gotten a bit lame. I don’t want the “Everyone” feed to be the same post 20 times with nothing added, especially when the thing being re-rec’d isn’t even a real reccomendation in the first place. I like this app because it is different than Instagram and Twitter and tumblr and the like. I feel like people are trying to interact similarly to those other apps here. I feel like we are all drifting back into creating the same social media AGAIN. My vote would be to remove the feature entirely, but I see how it can be used thoughtfully
