I 100% would have used ChatGPT for homework when I was in school, because homework sucked ass. However, if I hadn't been forced to bullshit a lot of essays 15 minutes before class I wouldn't have learned that I enjoy writing. The moral is to destroy both ChatGPT and homework.

Secret Tunnels, Bunkers and Arsenals: The ‘Panic Industry’ Is Booming Fortifying the American home has become big business, selling an endless supply of paranoia.

Art under fascism making community wherever we can

i talked about why it's important to have a community and make art, especially now: open.substack.com/pub/emilymal...

Who is 35 in New York and wants to run for office?

It’s over a 100 years after the great Jewish crusader for free speech, Emma Goldman, was deported from USA for her speaking out. Yet history repeats itself.

People shouldn’t be deported for speaking out.

People shouldn’t be deported for speaking out.

We mustn’t stay silent.

Indeed, a White House official told The Free Press that the basis for targeting Khalil is being used as a blueprint for investigations against other students. Khalil is a "threat to the foreign policy and national security interests of the United States," said the official, noting that this calculation was the driving force behind the arrest. "The allegation here is not that he was breaking the law," said the official.

NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more.

The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law.

No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

“And we need to be there for people, now more than ever.”

A beautiful post by @emilyfmaloney.bsky.social. Check it out, friends.💜

Had a dream last night that I was a poet--can you imagine?

Ori Fienberg ------------ Every Special Offer is a Special Celebration My inbox offers true meaning, but settles for swing and splash savings. Today is earth day in unseen ecosystems hidden on our bodies and currents of dust beneath our beds. The face can not be trusted over top products for hydration or beach properties. You'd be amazed what a savvy investor can do with five dollars; you'd be foolish not to backfill a narrow lot with all past savings on eco-conscious art supplies, with a plethora of prickled ferns, with the best seat in the house, with the worst song ever heard, but we can celebrate reasons, operations, passports, or every surcharge. Beauty is the cost of excellence, of longer lasting knives, of better business and custom canvas prints, but you are beautiful: can be beautiful as a payment: complete: clean.

What are you celebrating today?

I'm thrilled to have two poems, alongside so many poets whose work I admire, in the latest issue of Smartish Pace.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Of Course the ‘When Harry Met Sally’ Cast Reunited at Katz’s for a Super Bowl Commercial It’s a Hellmann’s mayonnaise ad

"But there’s something sinister about the way brands keep finding bigger, flashier ways to repurpose great moments in art to sell products" is a thing I wrote about a mayonnaise ad because I am in a normal and cool state of mind www.eater.com/24354679/whe...

A transformative poetry experience and community!

Twitter post screenshot of the San Miguel Sheriff account. 5 years ago they posted about a boulder on the road but referred to it as "Large boulder the size of a small boulder".

Happy 5th "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" anniversary! #Geology ⚒️

I do not want any record of the shit decisions I make except my own haunted guilt and poor memory. Fuck off robots

During these difficult times, it's important to cherish the little things, like walks in the forest, spending time with loved ones, a beautiful sunset, the cries of terror as an entire village flees before your flaming visage, a good book.

I don't think Elon Musk doing a clumsy salute makes him a Nazi.

I do think that supporting Nazi-adjacent international political parties and propagating Great Replacement Theory talking points and kowtowing to elected officials who kowtow to Nazi-friendly pundits makes him... Oh, whatever.

If you are arrested in Illinois protesting deportation actions are under the Trump administration, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com.

No.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

David Lynch, Auteur Drawn to the Dark and the Dreamlike, Dies at 78 With such hallucinogenic masterworks as 'Eraserhead,' 'Blue Velvet,' 'Mulholland Drive,' 'Twin Peaks' and 'The Elephant Man,' he often left more questions than answers.

"Lynchian" is a fully realized and instantly comprehensible adjective, as concrete a one-word summation of an artist's aesthetic and worldview as has ever been associated with any artist in any medium. Things will forever be Lynchian, but there was only one David Lynch. #RIP
