#ugliness

[lifeinpoetry]

I was an animal, howling on all fours. With every movement, an uncontrolled, ugly wail escaped my body. I was an animal, no room for any human in my ugly pain.

— Moshtari Hilal, from "Dying Prayer," Ugliness, tr. Elisabeth Lauffer

Sophia A. Nelson

Dear Young Americans. All of these men and women served honorably while in office. They acted like Presidents & First Ladies. They were imperfect. They erred. But they never tried to divide us or make us turn on one another. What you see in the Presidency now is NOT NORMAL. And we apologize to you that for the past ten years of Trump, all you know is chaos, division, cynicism, violence, and ugliness. We will do better. We will have great and good leaders again. #Obamapresidentialcenter

ai exists because everyone wants perfection, everyone wants to create something beautiful.

so what if everyone made ugly things from now on?

It doesn’t matter if you’re considered attractive when your heart is ugly.
