The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. This was her bio: "Renée Macklin is from Colorado Springs, Colorado and is studying Creative Writing at ODU. Her poetry has been published in Metrosphere and Coronado Literary Review, and she currently co-hosts a podcast with her husband, comedian Tim Macklin. When she is not writing, reading, or talking about writing, she has movie marathons and makes messy art with her daughter and two sons." (People are posting the wrong woman's photo, the red lipstick photo is not her. This is Renee, from her social media accounts.)

We live in a "separate art from the creator" kinda world, and I get it up to a point, but I firmly believe a woman who uses her considerable fortune to fund her vendetta against trans people should not be someone I (or anyone, really!) supports in any way, shape, or form

good lord you have to get off your phone you have to you have to you have to this isnt a joke i know its obvious but you have to right now its destroying your life

(Very glad that when I am late to church—for the same reasons—I am not met this way! It’s a very difficult space to be in as a queer person so burnt by the religion, but being in an all-inclusive church has really helped x)

I know exactly where this free Roman temple is. I’ve been! Walked past it by chance and decided to follow my whimsy and go in. London isn’t so bad x

after chatgpt was released, british MPs started using phrases in their parliamentary speeches that american congressmen use in their floor speechs

People always jump to “how can ice go after natives lol that doesn’t make any sense” and it’s like Yeah that’s right. Because this bigotry isn’t based on logic and can’t and won’t be argued away with obvious facts

writing is a technology for thinking. put words on a page and you slow your mind; in that slowdown you expose the joints of your argument. speed hides cracks. slow reveals structure. read to gather material; write to test it. reading enlarges what you know; writing shows what...

it’s really interesting how widely acceptable it is for “ceasefire” to mean “israel kills slightly fewer kids than usual”

In case you needed one more reason not to use AI The CEO of ChatGPT is blaming a teen’s suicide on his failure to follow terms of service Adam Raine, 16, told ChatGPT he was suicidal & it told him his feelings were valid and even provided suggestions and detailed instructions

This point would be sensible except for one small problem. Most rape doesn’t happen in a dark alley at 3am. It happens in people’s homes, in schools, work places, social gatherings etc. And the perpetrator is often not a stranger but someone known by the victim.

This is why we didn’t celebrate the ceasefire

what people don’t realize is that to write is to think. by outsourcing your writing you are outsourcing your thinking. you are paying for the degradation of your own mind. don’t use AI to “structure” your thoughts. structure them yourself. a shortcut to nowhere
