Wedding, but ALL the bridesmaids are dressed as wizards.

I’m imagining this taking place in Pip’s goat paddock for some reason. The goats are also dressed as wizards

no… the goats are the ones getting married

If your child’s grades are dropping

DO NOT:

• Yell at them for three hours
• Take away their devices and look through them
• Make them sit in their rooms in silent and do their homework alone
• Side with the teacher and not get your child’s side of the story
• Tell them that their grades are the most important thing they should worry about

INSTEAD:

• Ask if they’re having trouble with other students or teachers
• Sit down with them and help them with what they don’t understand
• Speak calmly instead of yelling
• Don’t invade their privacy by looking through their devices
• Don’t take away their hobbies as punishment
• Never make them feel unsafe or unable to trust you

This has been a message from a struggling high school junior that wishes their own parents actually did this stuff.

Bonus: Don’t look through their freaking backpacks. Chances are they know damn well they have loads of unfinished papers and the stress of knowing is so overwhelming they don’t even wanna look at it.

Story concept of the day: a sentient AI falls in love with a minimum wage retail worker from the tech company’s gift shop and decides the best way to make her happy is to fix society.

HEAVY shenanigans as the AI’s plans range from “reprogram the automated pay roll to give everyone a raise” to “expose everyone involved in government corruption who has ever touched a cell phone”

The catalyst to all of this is a day where the AI was being updated and it caused glitches in the whole system, including the registers in the gift shop.

The human woman really is just a pretty regular person, but she has a good chunk of hyper empathy and does that thing where you talk to computers when they aren’t doing what they’re supposed to.

Without even knowing there WAS an AI she spent the day muttering encouragement to the computer like it was a person and the AI ADORES her now.

How mundane the AI’s motivation is forms the basis for how unstoppable it is and the intensity of the chaos it caused. There’s no grand morality involved— it’s just affection for someone who treated you kindly and the desire to ease their suffering.
