*this said, historically, this makes sense. The Catholic Church was one of the art world’s very first patrons.

Never thought I’d find myself standing side-by-side the head of the Catholic Church yet here we are:

Tweet from Pope Leo XIV: “In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.”

This book is legitimately my “finish by the time I am dead” tome. I have been reading it (first time) since I was 17. 😂

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.

Looking through my past and present, low-key realizing I am genderfluid/genderqueer 🥴 try explaining that at work.

Love it when male-presenting folks spread their legs so wide on public transit that they take over 2/3rds of a two seat section.

It’s the virtual [margins.] literary conference this weekend — I love this community & this space & I’m trying to figure out how to clone myself properly so I can attend multiple tandem panels/workshops at once 😭

Awww it’s okay, life happens. Reach out the next time you’re in town (if you’re able of course) it would be so good to see you. Also, always happy for a mid day lunch break coffee!

I’m reading Malleable Forms: Selected Essays by Meeka Walsh (ARP Books). Quiet, powerful, poetic, delectable.

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.
