It has been my greatest mistake to develop taste and discernment because it makes it nearly impossible to live in a world populated mainly by people that just don’t give a fuck about anything and resent anybody who does.

Getting real sick of slop midwives pleading for a 'respectful discussion' of AI as relates to the arts. Your use of AI to 'make art' is not respectful. It benefits from stolen art, destroys the planet, and does not make you an artist any more than someone driving 26.2 miles is a marathoner.

Happy Wednesday.

In case you forgot:
We live on a planet where whales sing songs that travel for miles.
Where trees can recognize their own offspring and protect them underground.
Where dolphins give each other names and where lightning can create glass in the sand.
Where horses can read human emotions.
Where rain has a smell before it even arrives and where the ocean can glow in the dark.
And where stars we see might not even exist anymore.

Not to poet-post, but one of the problems of the internet is that it's fuelled a culture in which people "love poetry" but never actually pay for it - consuming fragments posted online instead of immersing themselves in full collections - then being surprised when poets ask to be paid for their work

I see transness as very natural & human. For all of history there have been people whose gender expression was other than the standard assigned to their bodies when they were born. So many cultures accepted them & gave them an important place before white supremacy.
