ANTI-AI PSA!!!!

My mom is in the food blogging and recipe testing industry. And AI has slowly been taking over her industry and this is HORRIBLE!

AI steals recipes from countless websites and mush them together to make some contraption. The recipes one these sites have been tried and tested and have had blood sweat and tears up into them. AI. has never personally tried making these recipes, never testing it over and over again till everything had perfect like my mom has.

The food blogger industry is also a women-dominated field, many of these women are the only source of income for their families (Like my mom). AI is stripping them of a community. they have spent time building.

So I am asking you to:

refrain from using AI to find recipes

Searching up the recipe and ACTUALLY CLICKING ON THE WEBSITE!

Interacting with the post is a small thing you can do, but it helps a lot.

Just leaving it open for a bit: Most bloggers get money from ad revenue, so playing more ads will get them more money

Here is a list of food bloggers that are INCREDIBLE, and I know personally:

Kristyn Merkley AKA Lil' Luna (a Hispanic food blogger known for her Mexican food)

Jamielyn Nye AKA I Heart Nap Time ( Mother and has awesome cookie recipies)

Mel AKA Mel's Kitchen Cafe (Lots of good recipies)

Tag any other good food bloggers that could use some love during this difficult time for these small buisness owners! And PLEASE share and spread the message!

TW: Venting, Bullying

I don't know what it is, but I'm looking back on my life a lot as I'm about to graduate high school this year, and... I've had some rough years. My 6th grade year was the hardest.

The best thing about that year was Covid. I had moved into a new house, and I had to leave my friends. One of them had cancer and was undergoing chemo at the time. I didn't have a phone, and my parents weren't friends with my friend's parents, so I was kept out of the loop a lot about what was going on with her, and I was so terrified for her.

I was going to be the new kid again, I hated being the new kid. I had done it so many times in my life that I was used to it, sitting on the playground alone, making small talk with everyone (I hate small talk), finding one friend, and sticking to them like glue. That was my formula.

But this time, my formula didn't work.

I was a bubbly child, my parents had always complimented me on it, so that was a trait I always tried to have, but with this new class...It didn't work. These kids were different, meaner, snobbier. (This was mostly due to how the school was set up. It was divided into a CTA. or gifted program, and a standard program I was in the CTA classes because I was a gifted kid most of my life). The CTA classes got better funding and prided themselves on being better. PE games were always divided between the classes this school was LITERALLY PITING CHILDREN AGAINST EACH OTHER!

Soon, I made a friend, Isa. She was nice, we both liked Disney, and she was a person I could talk to...but maybe I talked too much because one day, she just stopped talking to me, and I was alone again. And I didn't know why.

Then it was my 12th birthday party and I wanted to celebrate, but I didn't have many people to invite from my new school, so I only invited one person, Dani. Dani was a percussionist in the school band like me and was the only person I could talk to. Looking back she only came to be nice and that was one of the most stressful parties I had ever had. (I never hosted a birthday party after that)

Then I met Skye. She was a standard kid but was so nice! And when she talked to me, she said something I'll never forget, "You're not as bad as the rumors say!". There were rumors about me? Is that why no one wanted to be my friend? I walked home that day, barely fighting tears, and sobbed for hours when I got home. My parents were always busy at this time, getting settled in the new house and renovating the crap out of it so it was hard to talk to them about it. It's not their fault.

Looking back, I realized I was bullied, which I didn't even consider at the time. TV taught me that bullying was people knocking books out of your hands and shoving your head in a toilet. Bullying was physical violence, and I didn't experience that. I was just disliked...for no reason. Everyone was just repulsed by me for some reason, I didn't know why. I wasn't bullied... was I?

Any movie/tv show recs?

I’m having a jaw surgery on the 27th, and they want me in bed rest for 2 weeks… imma get hecka bored! So please dm me, or comment about any good movies or tv shows I should watch during this time!
