Doing the housework and thinking of this poem from Tess Gallagher.
I STOP WRITING THE POEM to fold the clothes. No matter who lives or who dies, I'm still a woman. Ill always have plenty to do. I bring the arms of his shirt together. Nothing can stop our tenderness. I'll get back to the poem. I'll get back to being a woman. But for now there's a shirt, a giant shirt in my hands, and somewhere a small girl standing next to her mother watching to see how it's done.

I’m howling.
Recently, Clifford "Buzz" Grambo decided to upgrade his electric scooter. The old one he had purchased online only reached 16 mph and wasn't cutting it anymore. He needed to go faster to keep up with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement cars he chases around Baltimore. So, Grambo bought a Segway MAX G3, which features a 2,000-watt motor and can get up to 28 mph. "The first time I caught up to them, I could tell that they already knew who I was," he told me when we first spoke on the phone in late October. "They had seen me before, so they thought they were just going to speed away. I was like, ha-ha bitches, I got a new scooter!"

I always return to: Why in god’s name would you, a wonderfully intelligent, curious, beautiful human being with an infinite capacity for learning and a fathomless depth of interiority give up a single iota of your creativity to a chatbot that can neither think, nor feel, nor create? Have some pride

No, these are very serious comments.

ChatGPT has absolutely no goddamn place in graduate education. It steals from other authors, routinely gets major facts wrong, hallucinates sources, and generally makes the prose flat and boring as hell.

And if you shill for it in my mentions, I'll block you.

Nigel Thomson "On the Way Home from School" (1980)

The more you look at the details more disturbing this painting becomes.
Nigel Thomson "On the Way Home from School" (1980)A surrealist painting titled "The Schoolgirl" by Jeffrey Smart. A young girl in a school uniform walking away from the viewer across a desolate, yellow field toward a dark-clothed man standing in the distance. The man is hunched, holding a long saw at waist-height, creating a sense of psychological tension and isolation against a stark, industrial horizon.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

All of this. And I find I particularly recognise the 'vanquish insecurity'.
Ursula K. LeGuin pinpointed the 'unmeasured desire' for unassailable safety as one of the chief drivers of evil in the world.
And Christ, yes, I'm seeing it so much. In my personal life and in politics too.
nikitagill.bsky.social Nikita Gill @nikitagill.bsky.social · Jan 3
Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.
OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

Fascism cannot create art. It is antithetical to the empathy and humanity required to create. It can only co-opt asthetics.

No notes
Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, also recently slammed people who are making Al-generated videos of her late father, calling the clips "gross." She added, "To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop pup-peteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it."
