At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

Be sure to use Al when making your next, I don't know, meal plan, for example. Definitely do not call your friend who loves to cook and ask her for her favorite recipes or tips or ways to save time making meals, because you will end
up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.

The sad thing about the world is that capitalism doesn’t just sell products anymore it sells identity, love, purpose, rebellion, even healing. Everything has to be profitable to exist. And most people are too exhausted surviving inside it to ever discover who they might’ve been outside of it.

I am a remnant of what I was but I still pretend to dream. My shadows stretch long across the grass, pain free and invincible. I can touch the tallest tree with my fingers outstretched in a soft ashen glove. I am a giant beyond this bone cage. A heart keeping time in the sun. #vss365 remnant

Remember, if someone asserts that your weekend plans of reading a good book, drinking multiple cups of tea, and indulging in a scandalous amount of emotional support cinnamon rolls “doesn’t sound exciting”, then they simply may not be the friend you thought they were.

People don't long for "inconvenience." They long for permanence. And though streaming services may be convenient, people are waking up to the fact that we are paying rent-seeking middle men month after month for things we will never actually own.

Now more than ever, check out a physical novel from your public library and read it in long, big gulps. It's like meditating. It's like putting your bare feet on the grass. It will help heal you.

The great tradegy of humans is that we're all, to some extent, broken, and trying to find our salvation. Some just hurt others while searching for their redemption.

Jesus' harshest words weren't directed towards "sinners." Jesus' harshest words were directed towards those who used their religion as a tool of oppression and self serving power. Jesus' harshest words were directed towards religious hypocrisy. May we remember this.

The more I reflect on privilege and luck, the less I believe that success is something anyone can "deserve". For every hard-working successful person, I can point to a thousand unsuccessful people who have worked at least as hard.

amazing that our own small creations connect us directly to the moment of our universe erupting out of nothing and the unfathomable power of existence itself and yet we look at our drawings or stories and are like 'this is bad.' bud it is not bad it is the leading edge of a billion years of beauty

Reading the entire Bible and broadcasting it to the entire nation while actively taking food, healthcare, clean water, clean air, shelter, due process, and basic human dignity away from people is the exact kind of religious hypocrisy Jesus raged against.

Every author you love was once an unpublished writer who had no idea if their story was good enough. They faced the same self-doubt, the same fear of rejection, the same moments of wanting to give up. Here are 5 stories from some of the most iconic authors — BEFORE they made it big:

I love reading novels. I’m always amazed by folks who don’t read fiction. There is nothing better, to me, than being in the middle of a book that you can’t wait to return to. It’s like living two lives at once.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

Brutal.
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.
