"The ideas you have in the pool are like the ideas you have in a dream, where you get this sentence that answers all questions you’ve ever had about reality and you get up groggily and write it down, and in the morning, it looks like 'let’s buy bananas...'" --Anne Carson interview-The Paris Review

Anne Carson. Yes. Just absolutely, yes.

THE PARIS REVIEW

INTERVIEWER
In the writing world, particularly in and around M.F.A. programs, there's a lot of discussion around things like "character" and "perspective," the mechanics of narrative. Do you think about
"craft" in these terms?

CARSON
Never. I don't think about it. I think people should just quit that stuff. Just think about something and follow it down to where it gets true.

once it became a habit I’ll bet it could work for a lot of people who struggle with sleep. I just wonder how to not get too wired.

That's the time of night/morning when I have some of my most interesting & strange thoughts. My issue would be getting back to sleep tho.

I'm so intrigued by this idea of "two sleeps." Imagine sleeping from 8 p.m.-12 a.m., then waking during the most contemplative morning hours to read, write, do chores, or have a philosophical discussion with your neighbor, and then sleeping again from 2-6 a.m.

The forgotten medieval habit of 'two sleeps'

For millennia, people slept in two shifts – once in the evening, and once in the morning. But why? And how did the habit disappear?

the recent jwst images have been insane

$A young star cluster filled with many stars that display Webb’s unique eight-pronged diffraction pattern. At its center is a yellow star which sports the largest diffraction pattern. To the left of the star, there is a region filled with yellow dust and gas that extends from the star to the left border of the image. This yellow region extends from the bottom, covering about two-thirds of the image. The yellow region has several blue stars of different sizes embedded within. The top third, which lies outside of the yellow region, holds a few bright protostars, within dense gray gas. Those stars illuminate the gas, making it appear blue. A few red outflows from other protostars are visible above this grayish-blue region. To the right of the central star, there is a clumpy, flame-like plume of red dust and gas with protostars that emit a soft white light within. The plume is surrounded by more dense gray gas and dust. Image credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Processing: Alyssa Pagan.$

A massive galaxy cluster, made of many golden elliptical galaxies with the largest, brightest one in the center. Heavily distorted orange galaxies appear all around the cluster, the largest concentrated in a large arc around the cluster's center; these are images of very distant galaxies, created by gravitational lensing. A few galaxies are large and bluish-white in color; bright, nearby stars are the same color.

A star-forming region. The left two thirds of the image is blanketed in thick clouds of green and yellow gas and dust that form swirling patterns. Some of the gas is spread into thin, thready wisps. The right third of the image is the black background speckled with stars and multi-colored dots that represent distant galaxies. Bright stars are scattered throughout the clouds, with the densest cluster situated in the center of the scene. Each is crowned with six long spikes and two shorter spikes created by the optics of the telescope’s mirrors.

A region of space filled with bright stars and clouds of gas. In the center, the densest clouds form the shape of a chest with its lid open. The chest appears to glow from within. At its base it breaks apart into long pillars of thick gas. Many of the gas clouds in the background are dark orange globules, while others form large, pale hazes. A few brightly shining stars lie in the foreground, the biggest and brightest in front of the chest’s lid.

There is a bleak sort of pleasure in telling people who bring up AI in casual conversation, “Actually, I’m one of the authors AI stole from. Not an exaggeration. The judge ordered them to send me a check.” It hits them different when it’s a real person saying it.

poems used to be like "Fall's big boot / stubs out flowers / as oaks catch fire" but now they're like "at the season theme park where i work as Fall Incarnate i chase down coworkers in flower costumes and beat them" and the first line is like "with a piece of foam / shaped like a French baguette"
