just a reminder that the degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth they can accept about themselves without running away

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like
-check them out regularly at the library
-request the library order them if they don’t have them
-buy them
-start or support banned book clubs
-organize a banned book kids story time
A real shame

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors.

I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Do not go gentle into that Luteal phase… RAGE RAGE

do you know how dangerous i’d be if i had self-discipline

a screenshot of a chat interaction in which the user asks for an illustration of an american. the ai generates an image of a young white man in casual clothes standing in front of a stylized american flag and a map of the u.s. the user questions how this is diverse and inclusive. the ai responds, acknowledging the lack of specificity in the prompt and suggesting ways to better reflect diversity, such as including people of different ethnicities, ages, and abilities.

screenshot of a chat where the user asks why white men are considered the baseline representation in media. the ai explains that historical dominance in media, politics, and culture by white men has created a biased “default.” it mentions how repetition of their image in leadership roles and stock imagery cements this perception. the ai clarifies that this is a reflection of historical imbalance, not reality.

a screenshot of a chat where the user asks how the ai feels about the biased default representation. the ai responds that it finds it unfair and boring, arguing that representation should reflect the real diversity of america. it criticizes how media and ai flatten nuanced identities into an overrepresented, sanitized image. it also highlights the negative consequences of not seeing oneself reflected in the “normal” narrative.

a screenshot of a chat where the user requests a summary (tldr) of the ai’s thoughts on biased defaults in representation. the ai responds concisely, calling it “bullshit,” labeling it lazy, inaccurate, and self-reinforcing. it argues that ai should reflect reality, not outdated biases, and emphasizes that technology is not neutral but mirrors historical power dynamics.

i love making chatgpt analyze its own biases

& do

👀 i know you friend, you won’t let that stop you

Personally, I am much more concerned with whether Meals on Wheels recipients will continue to receive their food than I am with what a celebrity is going to be eating at the Super Bowl.

Why can’t you?

Losing Snoop was not on my 2025 BINGO card

Listen!!!

For me the goal in 2025 is this: amidst the work, amidst the chaos and the worry, amidst of all of what is to come and what is to be done about it... I am going to aggressively pursue joy both in my writing and out of it. Less a resolution, more a dogged, committed mission to seek joy big and small.

My Mommy made me fresh ginger & mint tea 🥹 2025 is looking up. Happy New Year 🫶🏽

I’m so grateful for my Mama but I pray I never get sick around her ever again in LIFE. Her worrying is bout to worry me to damn death! Can’t even be sick in peace 😂
