The underlying goal of genAI is to let those with ridiculous amount of money to profit from human creativity and skill without having to pay those who are actually creative and skilled.

One thing I look forward to on summer nights is seeing fireflies. ✨ (Artwork by Braeden Raymer)

Illustration of a mason jar on a patch of grass filled with glowing yellow dots (representing fireflies). Some rise to form the word “Indiana” in cursive handwriting. Below is “Light of the Midwest” in black-coloured text. At the bottom is a small circular emblem with a firefly and the text “United State of Indiana” around it.

You are supposed to be triggered when someone mistreats, lies to, or disrespects you. You can heal to lessen the intensity of that trigger, but having a reaction to poor treatment means your body is alive, alert, and reminding you that you deserve better.

Today I found “treehouse echoes” on Apple Music. Normally, I’d be excited to find new music, but with the current state of things, I was worried it was AI-generated. To my relief, I learned it was created by Andrew Gialanella. 😮‍💨

After moving from a collectivist society to a more individualistic one a few years ago, I find myself navigating this balance all the time. (Also, I hope you’ve been well, Charlie. Missing seeing/hearing from you!)

It was in the low 20s (20-23°C) yesterday, sunny and super windy. 🌞🍂🌬️ Today, it’s in the negatives (-5°C), snowy and still windy. 🌨️🥶🌬️ The wind has been so strong lately that the howling can be heard clearly indoors, and it feels eerie and unsettling, like I’m in a horror film.

#TIL Hostile architecture, also commonly referred to as exclusionary design, describes attempts to restrict a person’s ability to use a public space. It aims to fight perceived social disorder rather than maximise the utility of public spaces. It’s also tied to systemic racism. #DarkPattern

But when it’s happening, the response changes: “Why wasn’t this said sooner? This could’ve been prevented.” “Yeah, I get it.” “You’re right.” People love to say timing is everything, but the irony is that by the time it finally “makes sense,” someone has already been hurt and the damage is done.

There’s a particular kind of loneliness that comes from seeing things long before they happen. Speaking of it early, and the response is usually dismissal and disbelief: “You’re overthinking it.” “You’re getting ahead of yourself.” “You’re making something small into something bigger than it is.”

This Women’s History Month, I want to acknowledge two truths: Many of my past experiences with women were painful and horrible: gossip, bullying, abuse, betrayal, jealousy, and plagiarism. And I will always be grateful to the women I’ve never met who risked their lives and fought for my rights.

It’s been a really disorienting and upsetting start to the week. Pushing myself to “move forward” feels like a betrayal when so much of what’s happening is clearly not okay.

Framing terms like “environmental justice,” “diversity, equity, inclusion” as “wasteful… destructive ideologies” is an outright lie (disinformation) and deliberate censorship. It strips people of the language they need to understand harm, repair it, and protect and treat one another with care.

To those who've felt unlovable: This is often a painful aftermath of not having support when you needed it most. I hope you find ways to love all parts of you, but especially the parts that felt rejected or like they they didn't belong.

Society has conditioned us to shrink ourselves so that we’re “easy to love,” but, in reality, real love grows to meet and holds us exactly as we are.

We didn't need "perfect" parenting. No trauma survivor is in pain because our parents weren't "perfect." We needed parents, teachers, & clergy who were visibly trying to understand us & keep us safe. That's not "too high" a bar or "entitled."

When people say ‘be the bigger person,’ ‘let it go,’ or ‘move on,’ it’s not helpful. It’s retraumatising because what they’re actually saying is, ‘what they did to you was okay and they don’t need to be held accountable.’ These people are part of the problem, and they are not your allies.

We don’t learn to ride a bike from manuals but through trial and error, facing fears, and getting back up. Growth works the same way through repeated experiences, noticing patterns, feeling emotions, and trying again. There’s no shortcut to the slow, messy, experiential work of becoming better.

“While a survivor isn’t always shocked by what was done to them, they’re often shocked that people don’t apologise. They’re shocked at the number of people who defend the person who hurt them. They’re shocked by how much additional trauma comes from being traumatised.” — @natepost.bsky.social

It baffles me that access to essentials (like safety, belonging, healthcare, education) is labelled as ‘radical’ or ‘woke.’ By doing this, we’re collectively opting into unnecessary suffering and calling it normal.
