I am once again begging people to realize that AI checker doesn’t work. it’s never worked. it’s notoriously known to have flagged human-made works as AI and AI-generated works as human-made. and by feeding it people’s works, you are feeding more works to AI, because apparently the machine itself is AI.

the only thing AI checker does is harm genuine artists and people in general too.

Go into the arts… they are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something. -- Kurt Vonnegut

Poetry is what helps me remember that even in my fragments, I am whole.

Then there was the terror; the overwhelming incapacity, one’s parents giving it into one’s hands, this life, to be lived to the end.

The beauty of painted murals

[septemberkisses]

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

While with an eye made quiet by the power Of harmony, and the deep power of joy, We see into the life of things.

William Wordsworth, Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey, On Revisiting the Banks of the Wye during a Tour. July 13, 1798

being with you, the way you treat my body, it changes me in a way i can’t properly explain. the way you are makes me feel like i’m strong enough to reclaim the parts of me that have felt so broken for so long. like i can find a path back to loving myself.

“What we want in love is release from our beliefs, not confirmation in them. That is where the ‘courage of love’ comes in – to have the courage to commit yourself to something you don’t believe, because it is what – for the moment, anyway – thrills you by its audacity.”

— Philip Larkin, Letters to Monica
