More than 38,000 residential school survivors testified to the abuse they experienced as children. Next September, Canada plans to destroy their records.

Canada plans to destroy thousands of residential school testimonies. These women are trying to save them
The 38,000 testimonies are the largest body of evidence about children’s experiences in these institutions. Journalist Connie Walker and lawyer Kimberly Murray say losing it would mean losing history — both painful and illuminating

On the Randomworlds discord q-and-a channel talking Kiss My Axe. www.tinyurl.com/randomworlds...
Cover for the TTRPG Kiss My Axe II: Thirteen Warriors & an Angel of Death, which shows a warrior with a warrior held across his shoulders and another held loosely at his side. He’s standing bare-chested, his back to the viewer, looking through a forest in winter. Is that the setting sun shading the show red, or are we looking at the aftermath of a bloody battle?

Two of the absolute best, most talented writers I have had in my critique groups were romance authors. AI could never replicate what they wrote, or the intensity and love with which they chased the craft.

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada which emerged in the wake of a commission examining the genocidal institutions of the Canadian Residential Schools. They issued 94 calls to action, and only 15 of those have been fully implemented to date. www.cbc.ca/newsinteract...

Music--to me--is a sonic expression of humanity. It can be an expression of empathy and emotion. AI has neither and so cannot express, only mimic. Excuse while I fire up my high school playlist and transport back to those days of struggle.

There's music that literally kept me alive through high school because it was proof I wasn't alone with my fucked-up emotions. "Infinite personalized music" is just you alone in a box with sonic wallpaper without having visceral, vicarious connections to other human beings having human experiences.

1 DON'T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE'S DRINKS 

4 WHEN YOU SEE A WOMAN WALKING BY HERSELF, LEAVE HER ALONE. 

3 WHEN YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE WHO IS DRUNK OR ASLEEP, THE BEST THING TO DO IS NOT RAPE THEM. 

6 CARRY A WHISTLE. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT RAPE SOMEONE, BLOW THE WHISTLE UNTIL SOMEONE COMES TO STOP YOU.

2 USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! IF YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF FROM SEXUALLY ASSAULTING SOMEONE, ASK A TRUSTED FRIEND TO ACCOMPANY YOU AT ALL TIMES TO STOP YOU. 

5 IF YOU ARE IN A LIFT AND SOMEONE STEPS IN, REMEMBER NOT TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward
