I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen 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."

I just turned 47 a couple days ago, and this post made me realize what my purpose in life now must be. I can be the random compliment creature now. A life time of being southern, shaped like a bean bag chair, and living on both sides of the gender divide has prepared me for the responsibility!

There goes more of our history. As things go, a department store ain't the most crucial, but since what follows is just that much more bland monoculture and featureless slop... we'll miss it.

I’m guest editing the next issue of Agita; send me your weirdest <1000 word stories about weird art. Authors from marginalized backgrounds encouraged and prioritized. No AI bullshit. The weirder the better. agitamag.com/submissions/
Issue 3: Ekphrasis
Between October 17 and November 17, guest editor Zachary Gillan will accept submissions of weird flash fiction that features ekphrasis.
Ekphrasis is the verbal representation of a work of visual art.
Weird fiction is a verbal representation of the world, in order to unsettle it.
We want stories that live at the intersection of the two. Pieces that emphasize the eerie power of weird art, whether fully ekphrastic or embedded within a traditional narrative. How does the weird seep in as reality is doubly estranged from these two layers of representation? Cursed paintings, uncanny statues, haunted mezzotints-send us your stories of weird art.

By African-American artist William Scott (1884-1964), “The Maker of Goblins,” 1919, oil on canvas, 32 1/8 × 26 1/8 inches, The Johnson Collection, Spartanburg, SC. #arthistory #painting #oilpainting #BlackArt #blackartists
From the museum: "Characteristic of William Edouard Scott's depictions of African American life, The Maker of Goblins is a playful rendering of the autumnal tradition of pumpkin carving."
And 'In the groundbreaking anthology, The New Negro: An Interpretation (1925), educator and philosopher Alain Locke wrote of the need for African American visual artists to raise "the Negro subject from the level of trivial or sentimental genre to that of serious type study . . . and furnish the fullest and most revealing portrayal of Negro life." Citing the work of Henry O. Tanner, Hale Woodruff, and William Eduoard Scott, Locke hailed the "advent of a representatively racial school of expression, and an important new contribution, therefore, to the whole body of American.”’

One summer I worked at a B&N, and my responsibility was general fiction. Naturally we had to respond structurally to summer reading lists, which meant tables and end caps featuring the usual suspects. Now, like 25 years later, I think about how algorithms manage our content feeds, like music

Behind us, Glencoe of the Slaughter, Achnacone, field of dogs, Achtriachan, where the water-bull lurks among thin fish tickled by weed, and the Great Herdsman of Etive over us like a black axe… —Alison Fell, “Rannoch Moor” in The Edinburgh Book of 20th-Century Scottish Poetry (EUP, 2005) #poem
Rannoch Moor
Alison Fell

Behind us, Glencoe of the Slaughter, 
Achnacone, field of dogs,
Achtriachan, where the water-bull 
lurks among thin fish tickled by weed, 
and the Great Herdsman of Etive 
over us like a black axe

To pace the moor, and mark it, 
like a cat bruises the grass 
for its bed,
or be claimed instead –
scars of burnt heather, dead 
weariness, the sheep paths 
misleading, and the bogs 
pitted with white water

Slow steps mark the line 
on the moor sour with struggle, 
where darkness is brought to the brim, 
and the bog-cotton bursts 
like puffs of smoke 
after a musket,
and the broken bleached roots 
of the old forest 
are white bones under 
the petrol shimmer of methane

Slow march in the whine 
of telegraph wires, 
while the wind chops 
at my breath,
and the peat mud sticks to my feet 
like rafts

We Have Enough Dead Friends
BY LENA OLEANDERSON

Come over. The doors are open,
my flat's a mess and
so is my heart
but the doors are always open.
Come over. I will make soup,
probably from frozen but 
the important thing is
we will both eat.

You don't have to be dying,
but if you are,
or you feel like you are,
or if living's been hard,
call me, and I will show up.
It doesn't have to be that bad,
it doesn't have to be bad at all,
but if it is, please call.

Do you want me to do the groceries?
Do you want me to mop the floors?
Do you need to be held;
you don't have to be dying to be held.
If you want me to be there, I want to.

I'm on the bathroom floor again,
and breathing is hard,
and eating's been hard, and sleeping,
the world is a laden thing
rolling around on my chest lately.
Just being alive is heavy tonight,
but we have enough dead friends.
Come over.

#Poetry #BlueskyPoetry #MaryOliver When Death Comes by Mary Oliver
When death comes
like the hungry bear in autumn;
when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse

to buy me, and snaps the purse shut;
when death comes
like the measle-pox

when death comes
like an iceberg between the shoulder blades,

I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering:
what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness?

And therefore I look upon everything
as a brotherhood and a sisterhood,
and I look upon time as no more than an idea,
and I consider eternity as another possibility,

and I think of each life as a flower, as common
as a field daisy, and as singular,

and each name a comfortable music in the mouth,
tending, as all music does, toward silence,

and each body a lion of courage, and something
precious to the earth.

When it’s over, I want to say all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it’s over, I don’t want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.

I don’t want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.

I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.

Ash Theory

The night keeps a ledger
in carbon‑black ink,
tallying every bright thing
that thought it could outrun
its own combustion.
We rise like hypotheses,
confident, elegant,
until the world performs
its small, cruel experiment
and proves us mortal.
Still..
there’s a strange prestige
in being temporary:
even the stars
are just long‑burning failures
pretending permanence.
And the ash?
It remembers everything
we tried to become
and didn’t.

ARCHAEOLOGY

The older we get, the deeper we dig into our childhoods, Hoping to find the radiant cell
That washed us, and caused our lives to glow in the dark like clock hands 
Endlessly turning toward the future,
Tomorrow, day after tomorrow, the day after that, all golden, all in good time.

Hiwassee Dam, North Carolina

Still 1942,
Still campfire smoke in both our eyes, my brother and I
Gaze far out at the lake in sunflame
Expecting our father at any moment, like Charon, to appear
Back out of the light from the other side,
low-gunwaled and loaded down with our slippery dreams.

Other incidents flicker like foxfire in the black 
Isolate distance of memory,
cross-eyed,
horizon-haired.

Which one, is it one, is it any one that cleans us, clears us,
That relimbs our lives to a shining?

One month without rain, two months third month of the new year, Afternoon breeze-rustle dry in the dry needles of hemlock and pine. 
I can't get down deep enough.
 Sunlight flaps its enormous wings and lifts off from the back yard, 
The wind rattles its raw throat, but I still can't go deep enough.
