Haven't been raptured yet, but my eyes feel tired and my bedroom smells heavily of the cinnamon whisk I bought after Trader Joe's last night.

I've been bringing the Luddite movement up a lot in casual conversation lately.

Marigold season.

It's funny that I'm considering a PhD while in over here dropping assignments online two minutes to midnight and realizing I need to grade tomorrow and see friends.

This is a truly fantastic development. I had five episodes on an old phone when the option to download disappeared. They were incidentally lost in a phone transfer along with all of The Pod F. Tompkast (~2020?). And now everyone can revel in some spontaneity.

If you've never had a scotcheroo, I implore you to give them a try. It'll break open your aching heart and then seal it to be stronger with a thick paste of sugar glue.

In my culture it is extremely disrespectful to subject another person to AI-generated art or language.

Doesn't believe in germ theory. Really believes in sperm theory.

A small part of the reason I'm so critical (I was going to say hyper critical, but I don't think that's true) of AI/Gen AI trends specifically is because I grew up in a "corporate town," even though it isn't generally viewed that way, and I worked in the warehouse over two summers in college.

I know I'm a morning person, because any time I brush my teeth with the door closed, I pace the bathroom like a caged animal.

Sent my brother a message with this image has now sprawled into a text-based RPG I am writing in real time to his responses since yesterday morning. I didn't prompt him with any other information. He hasn't asked any other questions thus far.

Goddamnit I forgot how great this comic is. Sitting at a coffee shop and already barreled through the first five issues. And this'll be the first I'm I ever read the final 15 of them.

This is undoubtedly the busiest day I've had since the start of the semester with full-time work, a 3 hour class, and teaching a class, yet somehow I still spent ~4-5 hours working on a new story to hopefully get submitted to hex within the next day or two (pending friend feedback and the sub cap).

This is a real, shit do I have anything I can revise why did I register for a rhetoric seminar while I'm teaching a class and working full time and still think I could churn out writing regularly moment (but, hopefully I'll have time after class tonight). 👀 Submit to Hex!

to me this three sentence micro by Elena Zhang @ezhang77.bsky.social describes modern life so potently...like, it reveals this...big...mysterious force that we're caught in... ...or maybe it's just good writing ? read it for yrself, it's wonderful xraylitmag.com/baby-phones-...

Another new story out today! It's about road trips & Weezer & friends & karaoke & barhopping & storytelling (of course) & nostalgia (of COURSE) and it folds in on itself and gets super meta in a way that you're probably gonna find either fun or really really annoying. Read it and find out which!

So glad to live in a state with some reasonable public health policies -- very much hope this happens in other states too.

I'm not 100% sure what it says yet that as I'm wading into a lot of books about the luddites and not accepting AI as an inevitability that I've really taken to having The Mars Volta / At The Drive-In in my regular rotation for the first time in a decade.

A casual reminder to look up when you can.

Scanned some film last night that spanned December 2021 - March 2025 (I don't recommend letting a roll sit in your camera that long -- 3/5 of them didn't develop), and forgot there was a shot of Pixel.

jesus christ. getting an NEA fellowship 10 years ago changed my life. it meant so much. it helped a lot when, weeks later, my agent went out to editors with THE INCENDIARIES, written by an unknown first-time novelist. artists are eligible to apply again 10 years after getting an NEA. were eligible

Taking an AI Theory and Ethics seminar this semester, and the question I posed tonight, which I've been circling since starting Blood in the Machine (book) is this: How can a technology be used ethically if it was not ethically created and is not governed by ethical boundaries?

final tally: 526

It should be instructive/register in some way that when I'm listening to music with higher frequency, rather than flipping on podcasts, I'm generally more in a creative headspace and writing more.

Ready to be blown away/alarmed by the reported quantity of HAD submissions for a five hour call.
