Having ChatGPT write something for you is liking having a robot exercise for you: the task might get finished but you won't accrue any benefit from it. Creativity, like athletic performance, is something that only happens as a result of doing the work yourself.

"When you teach a person to believe their internal truth is a lie, you take from them the very thing that is most important to each of us: our ability to know and trust ourselves." —Kerry Washington, Thicker Than Water
"The cruelest thing you can ever do to another human being is to label their suspicions as false when you know them to be true." —Kerry Washington, Thicker Than Water
"You cannot be true to me
Til you're true to yourself
When you say you have to leave
and put your heart on a shelf
What taught you that you have to run?
What inspires this fear?
When you start to feel something real
You always disappear"
-"Disappear" by Stephen Speaks

New book mail! Can't wait to read this one. #TheGospelOfJEdgarHoover
It's Halloween! Let's look at some scary eels!
Susan Hill's 1983 horror novel THE WOMAN IN BLACK, takes place at the secluded & haunted Eel Marsh House.
A dark & tortured estate, set in a fen full of eels! Much creepier than setting the stage at Lamb Meadows. 1/6

We pour energy into relationships that confirm what we already believe to be true about ourselves. Is your energy going toward people who confirm you're worthy of love or toward those who make you feel worthless?
Are you chasing validation from people who rejected you or is your heart open to receiving validation from those who actively choose and love you?
"Stop killing people" pretty much sums up my politics these days, whether we're talking genocide, covid, the environmental/healthcare/housing crisis, food insecurity, police brutality, lack of disability rights, attacks on LGBTQ+ folx, no access to reproductive medical care, etc etc etc. Just stop.
Stumbled upon Mars Attacks! slander on the TL here, and I do not have the emotional capacity this week to see my favorite movie of all time besmirched in such a fashion. I am going to bed.
One of the most difficult things about a breakup is accomplishing something afterward & them being the person you want to share it with most, knowing they would've been more excited for you than anyone. But you can't share it w/ them. They're gone & this thing you're so proud of tastes bittersweet.
Rainy autumn walk with the pup on her birthday weekend (she just turned 4 years old!) 🐕🥾🍁

I don't know exactly where the threshold was where I stopped being a person to other people, but it happened
"Grief can look like a safe space for a long time...Make sure you're not so busy living in the past that you don't even notice the open door in front of you." —Jamie Lee Sogn
Behold the academic rigor of the average Evangelical-fundamentalist private school/homeschool
Watching people on tv talk about how losing a girlfriend and losing a job are stressors that can play a part in motivating a mass shooter and nobody’s talking about the fact that women lose jobs and relationships too and it literally almost never ends in mass murder.
we all thought Twitter’s collapse would be swift and sudden like the fall of the Roman Empire but instead it’s been a steady, irreversible decay like the fall of the Roman Empire
Sometimes I wish that some people acknolwedged the difference between "No one has worked on this really" and "I haven't read much about it." Especially when they try to lecture you on your area of expertise and act as if it were an untouched wonderland, but they're essentially columbussing. Le Sigh.
writer solidarity Twitter is one of the things I miss most and I’m so hopeful we can rebuild the good parts of it here
and not just book recs but support and insight and conversations about craft
Yes, as in Cheney! But no, not on campus! Doing an online program. 😊
