was in a meeting and bored as fuck so i started snooping on what the lady next to me was doing on her phone (texting her daughter) and as I watched them text (daughter asked mother to "tell me four things that remind you of me"), I became confused (mom opened chat gpt upon recieving this message) then shocked (mom asked the chatbot "based on our conversations about my daughter, what are four things that would remind me of her?") then appalled (mom copied and pasted chat gpt's answer back to her own child - one of the things was vanilla cream??) and i'll be very honest i don't think i controlled my face well based on how the woman across from me stared. that is your child, ma'am. that is your child.

like ok allegedly the white people in Northern Ireland terrorizing mainly Black people and poc are British loyalists and not “real Irish” but that video stating that is showing more concern for the white Irish people currently hiding in their homes “in fear” of harm, while real life Black people are actively being harmed lmao like??? get up! if you say you’re not like these white supremacists than show up in defense for the Black people currently being mobbed by people who look like you!

crazy how any broad conversation about racism somehow always circles back to centering whiteness. building off of the post above, if your knee-jerk reaction to Black people getting burned out of their houses is to get defensive for people who look like you, maybe that's something you should pick apart more.

Visited Poetry Daily again. I felt very glad that I am not a literary poet. It seems so terrible to me because of the muddling and lack of boundaries that is encouraged in regards to oneself and one's art, and the violence that being recognized as art in a serious way does to one's art. It's like another layer of abstraction. Everything has a kind of meaningfulness that is oppressive.

me: Bucky deserves to be safe from harm and given cuddles and love...

i just started reading the elric of melniboné series and i'm starting really out of order but it seems a big part of this series that no one talks about is, so far, every book has at least one scene where elric completely but ineptly tanks some terrible problem. like, all the art shows him as some incredible warrior god-king but he spends most of the stories eating shit and escaping in some cracked looney tunes deus ex machina

These remind me of this drawing by Franz Kafka from the 1900s. We've been feeling this way for a long time.
