I don't fail students who use AI because they use AI. I fail them because the writing they submit is fucking terrible.

These days, I love seeing scuffed sentences, botched citations, and misused punctuation.

I can teach a nincompoop. I can't teach a cheat.

I will continue to use, and misuse em-dashes in my work, no matter the gurgitations of some hallucinating calculator.

...unless my editor tells me not to.

My favorites are
the bikers the
old farts the
lawnchair cheerers the
kids off school the
overalls farmers the
housewives and the
trans-lives, the
ones who look like they
shouldn't be here
at all.
My favorites are the
ones who showed up.

I imagine the statue as being a huge microscope going *HMM* at the plants.

I'm normal.

Haiku Tea Review🍵(7-27): English Breakfast w/ milk & honey

It's not that special
To anyone else but me;
Transmogrified, mine.

___________

I mean, it's just black tea with some extra pizzazz. But I like it. Very unintrusive.

Leaving social media for even two days really reminded me how, even with the best of intentions, this entire genre of media spreads distress like Vesuvius spreads ash.

Haiku Tea Review🍵(7-17): Moroccan Mint

Sitting. Thinking. Have
I been here before? Winter
and the bathroom sink...

___________

But in all seriousness, this is *very* spearmint forward but not intolerably so. It sits happily on the tongue.

One day, I want to write a Hallmark movie.

One where the pretty, financially-unstable baker meets the rugged man of her dreams but, after the first commercial break, gets isekai'd into a dark medieval fantasy world where she must survive brutal blood games and slay a tyrant with poison sourdough.🥖☠️

Haiku Tea Review 🍵 (7-9): Jardin Bleu

Scent of amber skies
September is ending soon
Where did that warmth go?

Yo is there a #tea hastag on Bluesky? Like, #teasky? Is that a thing? A Tea Community? Teammunity?

I love tea.

Look at this tea.

Delicious.

Lovely.

(In a Gordon Ramsay Voice) Beautiful.

My hope is to post enough unexpected pictures of nature and rad, green thingamawhatsits that people will screenshot them and say, "Oh that's cool," and then move on, their day made a little better, if only unconsciously.

Behold.

I love random golf balls in the middle of nowhere.

Like, what are your stories, ye wayward orbs? There's not even a golf course within 5 miles of here.

Go the fuck home.

I read an article recently lamenting how "un-fun" it is to be on #bluesky.

I'll admit, I came here to connect with #writers and #artists. Now I come here to be angry and bitter at the world.

I'd like that to change.

Now look at these cool flowers and fowls and sky-friends i saw recently. 🌼🦆☁️

Cursed?💀

I guess we'll find out in the sequel~

But, probably Helia will surpress it, go on as normal.

Marxen will seek a cure. Any cure. No matter how strange or painful. He has to survive.
