They’re so jealous you can write.

They’re so jealous you can make music.
They have all the money in the world, but they’ve been driven insane because they don’t have your joy.

Writers should never modify their own prose as a reaction to what stupid fucking generative AI is doing -- that shit stole from us, and it stole poorly, incompletely, and has none of our magic and zero of our humanity, our experience, our wonder and fear, and it never ever will. Fuck AI. You do you.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Soon they're going to lean as hard on the "ICE is just a bunch of people doing a thankless job" deflection as they did on "thank you for your service." Fuck every syllable of that noise.

Reading My Favorite Thing Is Monsters, I'm reminded of seeing K Flay perform after her hearing loss and watching my partner reinvent herself and her music through a disability and (mis)diagnoses, treatments, and the typical mistreatment by health care insurance and practitioners.

True Plantser all the way, no question, but I also resonate with:
- Knows the end, writes toward it
- Loves to worldbuild
- Who writes things down??

In the marshlands yesterday it was 70 degrees in February. I wore a t-shirt. I picked up trash and hacked away at invasive vines and shrubs and grieved for nesting blackbirds and lamented to the skies in Lear fashion my impotence in circumventing the collapse of nature
