For those of you who are having a particularly difficult time this week, I’m sending all the good and warm vibes. Please take time for yourself. Be selfish. You deserve happiness.

One time I lost words. They slipped out and were buried under sand, finely ground, collected, disbursed. I waited. One time I lost sorrow; it slipped out and was buried under sand. Finely ground shells and bits of fur. One time my ancestors came walking out of the sea. They collected the bits of rock and bone and feather and fur and fashioned me.

Now I fly with open mouth, trailing words and shouting meaning: β€œLook at what I lost.” Another swoop, closer to the ground now: β€œLook at what I found.” Now tusks curl from my mouth. I charge at memory, tossing aside its fragile weight that once pined me hollow. Now I am the one who will turn and return, slipping gently into water.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

AI can help authors beat writer’s block, says Bloomsbury chief Publisher last week reported jump in revenue in academic and professional arm thanks to AI licensing deal

Re: the title, I cannot stress enough that no it can’t. What it can do, and is already doing, is change the way people understand creativity so that they believe they have conquered challenges rather than the reverse.

My gut feeling is that "people overworked and tired" accounts for 90% of what appears to be apathy.
