The death of one evil man does not justify the actions of another evil man.

This feels oddly relevant.

I feel so insane about ai. I've had face-to-face conversations with people who use it for therapy, who use it to calculate the safety of pill interactions, who use it for all their emails and grant applications and legal documents and academic papers and finance sheets and for every single question they have about the world, and if you tell them about the ecological costs they just laugh and say "I guess I've used a lot of water." and I've been in multiple gatherings of 10+ people where I'm THE ONLY PERSON who doesn't use chatgpt. it's turning me into a ranting raving pariah, because how don't you people see??? why don't you understand??????? this bullshit didn't exist five years ago, you absolutely do not need it, and it is destroying everything

I want everyone to stop. Take a breath. Let it out slow.

We are in unprecedented times where it feels like those in power are sitting back and doing nothing. Where the vile and corrupt are getting away with too many unimaginable things. Where much of what we knew and know are getting twisted to suite a narrative that we know is false.

Stop. Take another breath. Breathe deep. Let it out nice and slow.

Do something small, learn something new, be creative and free. I know it sounds silly, but these are the times where we need to remind ourselves of what it is to be human. We need to paint, or write, or read, or garden, or dance, or sing, or cook, or whatever freeing thing you can think of. Make your world small.

We are so connected to everything in these times, so linked to world wide outrage, that as silly as it sounds, take the time to make your world small. It's better for you, it will help your mental load substantially. We do not need to be constantly informed. Put the phone away.

If the worst happens, then it happens. You knowing immediately or several hours or days later will make no difference to the fact that it happened. And even if the worst does happen, still take those small moments where you can. Lessen the load on yourself. We can't all, as individuals, save the world. Don't put that pressure on yourself.

Take a breath. Let it out slow. It won't fix everything, but it'll help take the weight off your shoulders. It'll help you be a bit clearer. It'll help you be a bit more free.

Take a breath. It's okay. We're in this together.

Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important.

You're gonna make stuff again. You're gonna make stuff you're proud of. You're gonna make stuff you're excited to share. You're going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic I want to want to you're stuck in now. You're going to have awesome ideas, and you're going to make them into reality. You're going to create again. You're still an artist. You're still a writer. You're still home to the same passion you had before. You'll find it again. It's not gone. It's just resting. Let it rest. You're going to make stuff again. I promise.

how do i say "horror novels these days are too woke" without sounding like a right winger. what i mean is: this one is about a woman serial killer who kills Bad Men, that one is about ~anticapitalist activists~, this one is ~queer~, that one is about *spins wheel* someone dealing with the ghosts of their immigrant roots, all of them are about intergenerational traumaaaaa. okay. cool. but is it good though. is it fucking scary

jessaerys

something something, losing the ability to convey horror through abstraction, through metaphor, through symbolism, through allegory, through raw unexamined un-psychiatrized feeling. if the real horror is.... dun dun dun! the patriarchy then i just feel preached to. don't use fiction as a vehicle for Saying Something About Society. write with total vulnerability and then see what it says. it will be probably be far more interesting and horrifying than what if the monster was uhh my mom's abuse or whatever. this brand of new horror writers are all so terrified of actually disclosing anything about themselves. it's like if an instagram infographic performance was a mediocre contemporary novel

You ever get so stressed by current events that you devote yourself temporarily to some project or another just to keep you from endlessly checking how things are going?

Anyways, this is Mort

caseyscraftycorner

My mom said Mort should have a hat, so I made Mort a hat.

caseyscraftycorner

literally every time Particularly Stressful News happens, Mort starts getting notes again, and its always bittersweet to me. Like, on the one hand it reminds me of how much shit sucks right now. But on the other hand, i'm glad people find comfort in Mort and his silly little hat. i'm glad he's making people's days a little bit better still.
