there’s a difference between being deeply moved by something and mechanically rewriting someone else’s inner landscape

[shymagnolia]

okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now i’m thinking….maybe this is the good luck post

[flagellant]

[coffee-or-hot-cocoa]

i need all the help i can get for finals

[finnglas]

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

[avhira]

I could use some luck

[sillystigmata]

This is cracking me up.

Secret: What I Cannot Tell You, 2026, SUIMA

SUIMA is an anonymous artist specializing in AI-generated art, allowing her creations to speak on her behalf. Her work explores themes of solitude, mortality, and the fragility of existence, often with a quiet undercurrent of hope. By blending algorithmic precision with classical emotional depth, she seeks to elevate both the artistic and societal value of AI art.

[notpedeka]

Hey… who thinks that elevating “both the artistic and societal value of AI art” is something that needs to be done?

Me neither.

This is slop that is currently polluting the largest body of freshwater in the world.

[nildespirandum]

Fuck this chick, AI will never be art.

I'd sell your heart to the junkman Baby, for a buck, for a buck If you're looking for someone to pull you out of that ditch You're out of luck, you're out of luck Ship is sinking The ship is sinking The ship is sinking There's leak, there's a leak, in the boiler room The poor, the lame, the blind Who are the ones that we kept in charge? Killers, thieves, and lawyers God's away, God's away God's away on business

not using AI genuinely feels like the rest of the world is experiencing some kind of mass amnesia. if someone says they never use it, the immediate response is that can't be true because "everyone" uses it to write their emails or answer their questions. saw a comment suggesting that not using chatgpt to write an essay is "like the 90s". girl I graduated in 2021 and we weren't doing that! how is it that everyone has suddenly forgotten that they were entirely capable of doing these things all by themselves for their entire lives up until the past few years!! am I going crazy!!!

[muirmarie]

something i find really interesting about (some) people who don't write is the way they'll elevate plot over execution? it's the way you'll sometimes see people who think they have a best-selling book idea, and they want someone to write it for them while thinking they should get the lion's share of the imaginary profits, because it's their idea. and don't get me wrong, ideas are important! plots are important!

but there are so many stories i've read over the years that could be summarized into a few sentences of bland-sounding plot, and it's the execution that matters. it's the writing. it's the writing!

a talented writer can turn a bland plot into a story you want to devour. and someone who only cares about ideas can take the most interesting idea ever conceived and make it unreadable/unwatchable.

like it does feel like there are a Lot of people in this world who don't view writing as a skill that deserves respect, and who think that really it's all about coming up with shiny ideas. and it does feel like that's uhhh infected a LOT of different things in the modern world. tbh.

I never thought I would be siding with the pope’s involvement in politics and cheering him on. I will say that.

Please reblog and add in the tags your most recently read non fiction book - or currently reading if applicable.

Someday, I sincerely hope, we will hold him accountable for the wreckage he has made of our country and much of the rest of the world.
