“Here’s my proposal: It’s not on us, on you and me, to use AI ethically or responsibly. It’s on the companies to build safe, reliable, ethical products. If you can’t do that and still make money, you don’t deserve to make money.”

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

This was such a cool zine project to be a part of! abigailschleifer.substack.com/p/free-zines... #ZineSky #Zinester

A friend asked me what THE PATTERN SHOP (coming soon!) was about and I totally botched it. 😬 Here's my redo: It's about a nurse who can't save her family or her patients, so she quits and backpacks around the world—but keeps making the same mistakes. 🦋 #writersky #literaryfiction #indieauthor

"Instead of the dull morality tale I’d expected, I read about the pain of social ostracization, struggling with bone-deep loneliness and emotional dysregulation, and coping with childhood trauma by escaping into idealized fantasies." My piece for Electric Lit-> electricliterature.com/sapphic-unde...

So stoked to be featured on the Writing Excuses podcast today! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/2...

DONE!

My son came out with ‘magic-can’ the other day (instead of magician) and I wiped away a proud tear. The tradition continues.

Why we call genAI Plagiarism Machine

Just looking at some type in the nice light today (it's finally not a thousand degrees and feels like two thousand) This is my Amanita type and you can buy it if you want to print your own little weirdos #letterpress

Yes waiter, I'll have a cup of tea, a scone, and if it's not too much trouble, perhaps some precedented times?

"Writing an essay is hard because it forces you to use your brain in ways you haven't before, and that is precisely why it's useful." For our August feature, we invited science fiction writer Ted Chiang to respond to a series of questions related to AI and its impact on humanities scholarship.

ChatGPT May Be Eroding Critical Thinking Skills, According to a New MIT Study time.com/7295195/ai-c...

hi! @toreajade.bsky.social and i want to know what keeps you going in the hard times! what started as a check-in between friends has blossomed into an open call for a zine about taking care 🌻 send us a list, a paragraph or two, artwork, photos, pet pix, etc by august 15th: bit.ly/WhatKeepsUsGoing

But there has never been a machine more dangerous than ChatGPT. All machines automate a skill, and once it has been automated the skill degrades in the population. So many people used to be able to SING for the love GOD! So many people could make a chair. So many people could hem a skirt or knit.

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.

“…writing a book is not the selection of suitable words. The work is the task of engaging another mind. It is a constant dance between understanding your subject and understanding how a future reader will react...” John Higgs johnhiggs.substack.com/p/john-higgs...

This is the best dress code I’ve ever heard. I would have worn my gleeman’s cloak.

Autism is a spectrum.

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it? Amie McNee. I’m golden.

Remember, if someone tells you that your dream of having a bookshelf with a rolling ladder is "unrealistic", they were never your friend to begin with.

Super hot take... but we're not in a crisis of more people BECOMING autistic, we're in a crisis of not enough people knowing that the reason they're fighting for their lives every single day is because they're undiagnosed.

I’m bad at social media, but good at snail mail. I make zines and write blog posts about creativity and neurodivergence. What kind of hashtags are good for art, zines & autism these days? #Zines #Autism #NeurodivergentArtist

I'm an ND who needs to see to hear. I dropped out of French in college in the first 2 weeks b/c the teacher refused to let us see the words. I didn't know at the time WHY I couldn't learn this way. As an auto-didact, I was able to self-teach French years later combining visual & audio techniques.
