everything AI touches turns to shit. especially in arts. LLM bullshit is the antithesis of creative and critical thinking. if you need an AI prompt to write, you don't even need to bother!

vandermeer is being very polite here. since i'm eurotrash, i'll be blunt: research is crucial for writing. while you research, you learn. using AI to "find out things" for you isn't just lazy. it's also fraudulent. you're not doing your damn work! creative genius my ass!🤬

i have no words, just feelings against the machine.

ew. jesus fucking christ. RIP

went to my hairdresser and asked for a boris pilnyak haircut. she delivered. ❤️

pišem tekst o književnom establišmentu. ne mogu se odlučiti koliko otrovna da budem. 💀

i'm spending all my free time in nature. culture, if you didn't know, is currently being demolished, and i don't want it to fall on my head and kill me. also, people are meh. xoxo!

otišla za prvi maj drugog maja u maribor. kad tamo: 45 eura jebeni literarni šrot! ostala bez riječi. puštam žižeka da pokaže što mislim.

as someone who lived through the fall of yugoslavia, let me tell you: the thing happening in the US right now is far worse. people will end up praying for the balkanization they are mocking.

we're all walking dead. no democracy in sight. anywhere. ew. just ew.

rest in peace, america. rest in peace. you never even deserved black people. that's why you stole them. and now you're dead.

looking at the clothes i bought recently... i dress like a rich italian milf who sucks dick only when she needs sth to repent for. god, i've offended you! i drank burnt champagne, and needed sth to get rid of the aftertaste. and there was this young, hot guy. i've sinned! 💅

i used to find great books on sundays, on the flea market for really cheap. not anymore. resellers are the bane of my existance. i fucking hate them! let me enjoy my books, you 🤬🤬🤬!

danas sam na hreliću hodala iza nekog para koji je očito odabrao da im buvljak bude prvi dejt. duše drage! nadam se da će jebat. zaslužili su.

having fun!

world book day is today! let's get some eclectic mix of books. i want sth queer, sth dreamy, some poetry, sth old. i want me some fragrant books. i want titles from different parts of the world, not just anglo-american novels, but i want them as well. i want a book for every part of my body & soul.

i'm wrestling with a short story i haven't even begun to write yet. it's horrific and hilarious at the same time. sometimes, during this stage of writing, i just give up for several months or even years, because i'm not ready to say what i have to say. it's too uncomfortable. i have to sit with it.

i like my men afraid and aroused. same as my readers. who are women.

i'm reading about a guy eating a girl out to bring her memories back, whilst i'm trying to forget everything at the same time. life is truly funny sometimes. 💀

kaže se AJMO, ali kao što AI falsificira sve, tako falsificira i hrvatski jezik u marketinške svrhe. 💩💩💩

ja! 🥳🥳🥳

i'm online, but my brain isn't.

spring book haul! heard great things about maud ventura. read moa romanova in 2022. didn't want to give 33 euros for it tho. had to wait. read annie ernaux's shame, in original. cro edition was too expensive. bought it second hand. love edith wharton. wakoski & levertov could have been tra. better.

so depressed, i had to book a vacay right now. do i have the money for it? of course not! but i'll blow someone at the beach for $175k. that will cover it.

sometimes, i'm ashamed to say i'm an author. because - look at us! jesus fucking christ!

the question now is: should writers exist? i'm leaning towards no.

read smut till 4 AM. woke up three hours later and went birding. first thing i saw? two plovers mating. birds and i were obviously reading the same webtoones last night.

dakle, žena došla u ovakvom autu ispred naše zgrade i iskrcala nepropisno HRPU smeća u nekakvim sivim vrećama i bacila stiropor u papir. doslovno smeće dovezlo smeće. kome da ja nju sad prijavim?

good editors are worth their weight in GOLD!

btw. windham-campbell prizes got their PR. all of it. at once. still, no video. the genius od helen dewitt - unmatched.

art isn't commerce. writing isn't contingent on public relations. big money has done some serious damage to literary scene. globally. authors have to be content creators & managers, literary agents, marketing experts? outgoing and healthy?! $175,000 isn't THAT much money.

you can't make a circus monkey out of every writer. kudos to dewitt. her commentary is a chef's kiss.

whenever i read robert musil, i don't know if i'd slap him or fuck him. dude was demented. so, probably both.

kod nas u piljari kg tikvica košta 6 i po eura. kilogram patlidžana 6 eura. toliko od mene, idem sad čučnuti negdje gdje ne dopire svjetlo.

as i've said on twitter before i deleted it: gaza was the training ground for the pain that now awaits the rest of us. and to those who think they're ready for hunger, power outages etc. no you're not.

i went thrifting, and let me tell you: if you want silk, cotton, linen, you have to thrift. the only time i buy polyester is when it's french made. nobody does vintage plastic better than the french. it's always sth skimpy and hot. nipples and ass out. loves it.

i miss clara schumann! she was my fav cash godess. there are so many fun things us jugos did with this talented lady.

I WANT THIS CHOKER SOOOOOO BAD! AAAAAAAAAA!!! (dolly sisters in the 1920s)

some books get hyped organically, by its readers. kudos to them! and then, there are books that are hyped artificially. those i avoid, and you should too. contrived popularity is the death of arts.

here's a thing about me: if i see a book on everyone's TBR or feed, i'm not gonna read it. i have this book, and i could, but i won't. too much publicity is a serious turnoff. currently it's this one. it is everywhere, and it reeks of paid PR.

AI is a scam. we're being defrauded.

i've lost a tooth yesterday, but i couldn't tell anyone because of the april fools' day.

the only way i would ever become a novelist is by getting offered soooo much money i couldn't possibly decline. i'd nicki minaj myself.

people always ask me when am i going to write a novel, but i don't think i ever will. it doesn't fit me as a writer. i love reading novels, but i prefer my literary ideas to be contained. the way i think is just more compatible with shorter forms. i like the intensity. it sticks with you better.

here's an observation: a short story goes over well in russia or the US. vast spaces make people appreciate shorter forms more, it gives them different perspective. here in europe, people don't get it. every story has to be big, because we're tiny. novels are compensating for our insignificance.
