If you haven't heard, the em dash has been getting a lot of attention latelyβ¦
Because it was trained on pirated workβincluding freely accessible online writing (like fanfic, academic texts)βChatGPT picked up patterns and quirks native to human writing.
Including (sigh) the em dash.
There are other victims here (RIP tapestry and delve π« ), but the appropriation of the em dashβa punctuation mark beloved by writers everywhereβfeels especially personal.
A kind of low-grade panic is ensuing. Writers who once memed their own em dash overuseβthe greatest punctuation mark ever to grace the control-freakβs lexicon, franklyβare suddenly backing away to avoid accusations.
No. More. We have centuries of dash-abusing writers behind us. We will not sit quietly while AI repurposes our beloved stilted asideβor the just-one-more clarification the sentence demandsβor the dramatic pause your comma could neverβetc.
You donβt write like AIβAI writes like you.
Defend the em dash.

Reverence clouds my senses each and every time I dare to gaze your way, each time I as much as allow the thought of you to linger in my unworthy mind. It's essence stuck on the sides of my skull, it's been there too long; much like cotton candy, in a sense, it has solidified, hardened, crystallised along the edges of my heart and within my arthritis, it's taste has gone weird, still as sweet but it's no longer soft, now hash and sticky.
My legs cannot bare the overwhelming emotions that lay a hold of me, weakening, I can feel my knees getting shaky, almost giving out, from sheer dulia.
And I might not be a believer, but I will gladly fall to my knees at the feet of your altar, kiss the marble on which you've layed. I'll repent at the shrine of your guile. Faced with the sea of good you provide. And lord, the feast I am given might restore my faith, if only in the holly nature of your existence.
And the vespers of my days may not bring fruit, but by the stars that are birthed from your presence, the simplest of glances would be enough.
I adore the entire song and it really describes how I feel in many ways. However my favourite lyric is "don't get me wet because the bandages will all come off"
That's a very interesting sentence. At first glance one could assume it is merely a creative and enticing way to make it known that the singer wears bandages. And in a sense it is, as once we put it in the context of this song it suggests self-induced injuries. However, the extent of this sentence runs deeper, the lyricist made use of the expression "get me wet" which holds a great sexual connotation, it represents being aroused by another person, and this intimacy. The lyrist is saying that if one were to be intimate with her, in a sexual or non sexual way, it would cause her "bandages to all come off", it would reveal her scared and bruised self, not merely the physical ones but the mental ones as well. If someone shows her a form of intimacy she will break and reveal all her hurt and insecurities.

Trapped Family in Gaza Appeals for Help to Survive
I am Mohammed Alanqer, married to Enas Majed. We have three children, and recently, during the war, we welcomed a new baby, making our children four now. We pray to God to protect them and keep them safe from harm in this harsh war.
When the war began, I was deeply worried about our three children, and now, with the arrival of our new baby, our concerns have only grown. For over 300 days, we have been suffering and fleeing from one place to another. We pray to God to protect our children and keep them safe from harm in this harsh war.

Amidst the ongoing war in Gaza, we find ourselves as a family trapped between walls of fear and despair. I, Mohammed, a father of three children and a husband to a woman in her eighth month of pregnancy, live in an environment filled with threats and risks.
My technology startup, which I built with dedication and hard work, was destroyed during this war, leading to the loss of our livelihood. My children, Layan, Sarah, and Adam, no longer have the opportunity for education due to the destruction of schools, posing a significant threat to their future.
My wife, Enas, lives in constant anxiety due to her advanced pregnancy and the destruction of hospitals in the area. After losing my job and source of income, I find myself in a severe financial crisis, unable to provide for the needs and safety of my family.
Our family home was destroyed due to the war, forcing us to flee and move multiple times, leaving us homeless. Everything has become difficult now; we cannot provide a safe place to live, nor can we afford clean clothes and food for our children. Additionally, our children have been afflicted with diseases such as measles, and our son Adam has been diagnosed with viral hepatitis.
We urgently appeal for your moral and financial assistance to cover the necessary costs for escaping to a safe environment, where we can build a better future for our children and ensure the safety of our family

Update on Our Story and Campaign
To those who have not read our story: We are a family of six, displaced due to the war in Gaza, having lost our home and everything we owned. Our goal with this campaign was to raise funds to help us travel to a safe place via the Rafah crossing, but the situation has become even more complicated.
Latest Updates:
1. Winter without shelter: With the arrival of winter, we remain homeless, facing the bitter cold and difficult living conditions day by day.
Twitter: View on Twitter
2. A newborn in the war: We have a child born during the war, who is now five months old and named Amir. His needs, including clothing, diapers, and baby formula, have become excessively expensive.
3. Skyrocketing prices: Prices in Gaza have become astronomical, making it nearly impossible to meet our daily needs.
4. Travel costs: The cost of travel has risen significantly, with estimates showing that registering one person for travel through the Rafah crossing costs between $5,000 and $7,000. This means that the total cost to register our family for travel reaches $42,000.
5. Basic needs and survival: In addition to travel costs, we need to secure the costs of living and survival in a refugee country if we are fortunate enough to escape, where we will need to provide food, baby formula, diapers, clothing, and medicine for both the children and the family. We also need the minimum essential supplies to survive in Gaza while we wait for the border to open.
This is a post documenting the prices of basic goods in Gaza from a previous post. Here | @communistkenobi
I have detailed the required amount so that everyone understands why these costs are so high. The level of suffering we face daily in Gaza, combined with the unprecedented price hikes, makes it impossible to provide even the most basic necessities. The campaign we launched is aimed solely at covering what we need to survive, register for travel, and secure accommodation and basic needs if we are able to escape to safety.
What we need now:
The total amount we need to cover our needs has become $90,000, broken down as follows:
$18,900 will go toward taxes imposed by the country where the campaign sponsor resides.
$18,000 has already been used to cover the exorbitant living expenses in Gaza.
$42,000 is needed to register our family members for travel if the crossing opens.
The remaining amount (approximately $11,100) is allocated for survival costs in Gaza, including food, baby formula, diapers, medicine, and clothing, as well as accommodation and living costs in the refugee country if we are fortunate enough to survive.
We are going through the toughest moments of our lives, and we are relying on your support to help us continue and secure a safe future for us and our children.

I'm hiding because I'm crying at the train station rn; it had been 5 months that I had been clean when I last relapsed. And I just realised that I'm finally back to 5 months clean. I'm so goddamn proud cause it was hard as fuck. But fuck just shaking and crying at the train station ( thank god no one can see me where I am and my train will not arrive until a little while )
