to be.
to rest without guilt. to want without shame. to take up space without apologizing. to exist without justification. to leave without explanation. to breathe without permission.

The Trouble with Being Born, E. M. Cioran (translated by Richard Howard)
— Susan Sontag, from As Consciousness Is Harnessed to Flesh: Journals and Notebooks 1964-1980 (via lunamonchtuna)
في الأمَان والدَّلال؛ تزهِر المَرأة كمَا خُلقت لا كمَا طُلِب مِنها.
“In safety and tenderness, a woman blooms as she was created, not as she was demanded to be.”
no i didn’t skip that song because i don’t like it, i skipped it because i don’t have the emotional stability to listen to it now

Are people on Tumblr aware that you can customize your kudo message??

If you haven't heard, the em dash has been getting a lot of attention lately…
Because it was trained on pirated work—including freely accessible online writing (like fanfic, academic texts)—ChatGPT picked up patterns and quirks native to human writing.
Including (sigh) the em dash.
There are other victims here (RIP tapestry and delve 🫠), but the appropriation of the em dash—a punctuation mark beloved by writers everywhere—feels especially personal.
A kind of low-grade panic is ensuing. Writers who once memed their own em dash overuse—the greatest punctuation mark ever to grace the control-freak’s lexicon, frankly—are suddenly backing away to avoid accusations.
No. More. We have centuries of dash-abusing writers behind us. We will not sit quietly while AI repurposes our beloved stilted aside—or the just-one-more clarification the sentence demands—or the dramatic pause your comma could never—etc.
You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you.
Defend the em dash.
