I’ve been mulling over ideas of how to “prove” that my writing is not AI. A few different ideas that came up are: 🧵

Turns out, in my writing session this morning, I couldn't keep working on my article as I planned. Apparently, I needed to work through some "Why bother?" thoughts that sometimes pop up, and today I decided to blog about them. #writing #fitnessjourney

Ok, I checked out @pckt.blog, and it's SO cute! I seem to have slept through the golden age of personal blogs. So, after checking out Pocket, I decided I wanted to dabble in lifestyle blogging that I wish I had done when I was younger! This is my story of why I started training for a 10k.

Testing a new (to me) Substack alternative with a post from last month. This one's about how chronological time ticks on, inching us closer and closer to the end of our time on earth, and, unfortunately, capitalism has been eager to exploit our anxiety about facing our end. #ancientsky #offprint

As someone with a Substack (but without a paywall on my content), I've been seriously looking at other options that don't require me to buy a self-hosted website. For my next article, I think I'm going to post to Bluesky using @offprint.app instead! Excited to give it a try!

Fenrir is helping me organize my research material. #caturday #TheDivineComedy

I'm trying to write about Odysseus's time with the Phaeacians, and my brain absolutely does NOT want to write or read the word "Phaeacians". I keep typing "Phoencians." 😭

Laufey's music is awesome, and this game looks great, so I say both/and!

Oh my god I absolutely can't wait for God of War Laufey. I want this game nowwwwwww!!!!!

Reading a music article that sounds suspiciously like AI then I come across the phrase, “[Artist’s name] is woven into the track rather than bolted on top, acting as a genuine foil whose texture completes the song’s architecture.”

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

Happy Pride Month, everyone! Especially to those who know that even though terms or acronyms like LGBTQIA+ are more modern, queerness in all its varied forms has been around as long as humans have (or at least since written history began!)

Not my usual type of content, but I wanted to share in the internet void that this week was Week 1 of training for a 10k. I have always told myself that I’m not a runner or athletic. (In high school, I was allergic to sports and gym class.) #running #runner

ARMA VIRUMQUE CANO ⚔️🏛️🌿

Ok fall clearly can't get here soon enough! I can't wait to read this book!!

After damn near 3000 years, I fear we've lost the plot.

Chronological time ticks on, inching us closer and closer to the end of our time on earth, and, unfortunately, capitalism has been eager to exploit our anxiety about facing our end.

And… the white supremacist use of the Discobolus continues…

The way I scoffed at my phone when spellcheck put the red underline on the word fucking. Yes spellcheck, I absolutely meant that word.

Any day that I wear a white shirt ~without fail~ is the day my coffee cup leaks. Looks like I’m zipping my jacket all the way to my neck today.

Just call God “she” or “her” or “mother” and you will find out very quickly how many Christians refuse to see God’s image in women. As if calling God by a feminine pronoun is demeaning to God rather than naming part of who God is. This is the worship of patriarchy.

A great visual indicator of how much this administration actually cares about women’s sports.

An onion will do well for such a shift

A hostile corporate media merger I can get behind: The Onion x InfoWars

I’ve never been to Coachella, but it’s got to be cathartic. With an endless deluge of digital ~content~ to rot your brain (that’s mostly AI-generated), seeing art performed in real life and forgetting about everything happening in the world - even for a moment - has got to be fucking exhilarating.

Bromantasy was RIGHT THERE.

How shall we do for money for these wars?

Exactly. It’s wild how many people have ~opinions~ on Islam and have clearly never even glanced at the Quran.

Sometimes we try to outrun Time, or go in the opposite direction of it: into the past. And sometimes, we try to “time manage” to oblivion to cram more productivity into the day.

Update on this: the account in mind is celebrating the Texas book mandates of forcing school kids to read The Odyssey and stories from the Bible. Ugh. Perpetually having to ask, "Is this classics-focused account actually problematic?" is fucking exhausting

Spending my Saturday getting all my notes set up and linked in my #Obsidian vault. I previously kept all my Zettelkasten notes inside a different service that didn't link ideas very well, so I switched to @obsidian.md I'm OBSESSED with the graph view. I giddily look at it after I link notes.

I’ve never read a book like Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu before. It’s written in a TV script style with a second-person perspective; it's a satire that examines how Chinese and Asian people are typecast into specific roles to make their "foreignness" more palatable to other Americans. 🧵 #booksky

I love studying the classics but I absolutely hate that anytime I see an account devoted to it I have to inspect it thoroughly for alt-right ideation.

"... the treatment of heroes in the Iliad and the Odyssey is one of our earliest warnings against egoism and relying too much on ‘big men’. Each epic explains the separation between the worlds of gods and mortals and why heroes are also bad for us." neoskosmos.com/en/2026/04/0...

Come on then, and remove him.

A cofounder of Anthropic wrote in a Substack article that spending time with family rather than asking AI to absorb research papers made him feel guilty. Although Dante didn’t live in the age of AI, I’ve read this in The Divine Comedy. 🧵

There are only so many hot takes on that fucking Trump tweet I can take in a day. ugh

Every time I read the Divine Comedy and all the ways Dante punishes the sinners in Inferno, I always think of the Robot Devil from Futurama.

It’s 2026, how are there STLL so many productivity and email services that don’t have DARK MODE??? My eyes are burning.

Just got these two new reads! THE WHITE PEDESTAL: How White Nationalists use Ancient Greece and Rome to Justify Hate by Curtis Dozier And EPIC OF THE EARTH: Reading Homer’s “Iliad” in the Fight for a Dying World by Edith Hall Both from @yalepress.bsky.social!

A comment in this thread said “some bell hooks and some hell books” and that will stay with me the rest of the day

Another successful No Kings in Kansas City! Saying no to this small dicktator energy administration.

there is no king

Resharing this after hearing RM from BTS talk about the Ancient Greeks' concepts of time with Chronos and Kairos on the new Netflix doc. Chronos is a steady march none of us can outrun... no matter how many times I may have tried.

Casually watching the Netflix doc, BTS: The Return, while working on an essay about Chronos and Kairos, and the way my neck snapped up when I heard RM start talking about the Ancient Greek concepts of time... Surprised my neck didn't straight up break with how sharply I looked up at the TV.

Honey, this isn’t Plato. You’re in the cave. Deep, deep in the cave.

Ugh, the sinking feeling when Harry Potter is trending

The productivity junkie culture and vulture capitalism absolutely ✨loved✨ my childhood trauma. Turns out outrunning Chronos as a mere human isn't possible. ↓

This is my first timelistening to a BTS album and I enjoyed it! SWIM is going to be an earworm fully lodged into my brain for quite some time!

Alexandra: "I didn't understand why Greece & Rome were centered and siloed, while I wasn't able to have those adventures beyond their borders, unless Greeks & Romans were at war with someone." Literally Jon Stewart this week: "War is God's way teaching Americans geography."
