I finished grading my finals!

some days the rich internal life becomes like a quivering but simultaneously frozen spiderweb that traps me inside of it.

That tweet that said Taylor Swift is like Michael Jordan—

Taylor said “take me out and take me home” —

I said being a classics major who hated Greek mythology just to keep people on their toes.

Bejeweled was a part of Taylor coming back to life that she had suppressed since 1989.

the way I love the 1..........

The mind is not merely receptive, in the sense that it absorbs sensations like so much blotting-paper; on that sort of softness has been based all that cowardly materialism, which conceives man as wholly servile to his environment. On the other hand, the mind is not purely creative, in the sense that it paints pictures on the windows and then mistakes them for a landscape outside. But the mind is active, and its activity consists in following, so far as the will chooses to follow, the light outside that does really shine upon real landscapes. That is what gives the indefinably virile and even adventurous quality to this view of life; as compared with that which holds that material inferences pour in upon an utterly helpless mind, or that which holds that psychological influences pour out and create an entirely baseless phantasmagoria. In other words, the essence of the Thomist common sense is that two agencies are at work; reality and the recognition of reality; and their meeting is a sort of marriage. Indeed it is very truly a marriage, because it is fruitful; the only philosophy now in the world that really is fruitful. It produces practical results, precisely because it is the combination of an adventurous mind and a strange fact.

- G.K. Chesterton, St. Thomas Aquinas

Taffy Brodesser-Akner, who used to be one of my favorite celebrity interviewers, really debased herself with her gullible engagement with AI slop for this "interview" with "Tilly"

[thelonelybrilliance]

like she comes to the conclusion that Humans Are Better, and we're the art, but there's such a level of projected belief and unchecked fear and self-consciousness that is unprofessional and, as I tagged, EMBARRASSING!!!! this is literally an algorithm running prompts and hoovering up data it didn't create to create illusions! Its human designer is an insecure and deluded woman who flopped! You don't have to be scared by anything other than human greed and meanness! "Tilly" is nothing!!

it's amazing how when i'm an active agent in my life good things happen and i feel capable and confident in myself and when i just passively let life happen to me terrible things happen and i am miserable. surely no one else has ever noticed this tendency
