Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.

I will dispose of the first myth as quickly as possible. The “secret” is skill. If you haven’t learned how to do something, the people who have may seem to be magicians, possessors of mysterious secrets. In a fairly simple art, such as making pie crust, there are certain teachable “secrets” of method that lead almost infallibly to good results; but in any complex art, such as housekeeping, piano-playing, clothes-making, or story-writing, there are so many techniques, skills, choices of method, so many variables, so many “secrets,” some teachable and some not, that you can learn them only by methodical, repeated, long-continued practice — in other words, by work.

I was in Mexico recently, and got a chance to visit their beautiful National Art Museum, in Mexico City. Here are some shots.

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

Some street photography the first night I visited Yaowarat Road, Bangkok, Thailand. I had the best meal of my life here, at Nai Ek (ร้านก๋วยจั๊บนายเอ็ก). Hand rolled noodles, crispy pork, and super peppery broth. Can't wait to go back!

As promised, between the art posts I'll sometimes be posting photographs I've taken. One of the places I knew I needed to visit in Thailand was Phraya Nakhon Cave (ถ้ำพระยานคร). The pavilion inside is nearly 140 years old, and is bathed in sunlight during the morning hours.

Grieving is normal and healthy, but fight against the urge to succumb to spiraling, doomscrolling, or doomposting. Do this not only for yourself but for those around you, and for those who will read your posts. Feel your pain and your feelings, but also take deep and slow breaths. You are not alone.
