I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
Mom, come pick me up, the best lack all conviction and the worst are full of passionate intensity.
me: oooh genre discourse! did they remember poems this time
discourse: no sorry this is a *literary* discourse
me, kicking a rock, which is also my childhood: aw man

Writing a book is such a nightmare. That's the fun part!
any recs for where to send something long and very cesura'd? (mostly long because it needs so much room to breathe?)
Ohhh that's so good too!
Alice (1980) by Svankmajer (bonus that listening on mute means you won't hear the ticking which intentionally causes anxiety)
The vibes are so strange
Buying art made by humans and supporting independent businesses are god damn acts of rebellion, never moreso than right now.
this is not taco bell quarterly, but maybe it should be. i mean, a baja blast could probably fix this, for a moment at least.
kill your darlings. forget how to breathe a little. walk around with a gaping hole where that image-line-poem was. do a little more every time you do a little less. it'll stop bleeding after a while, but you'll aways feel the loss. this too is correct.

Did you know that strawberries are not berries, and are actually mammals?

“Poetry works like lightning. Lightning strips a shepherd bare and carries his clothes several miles away. It imprints on a ploughman's shoulder the photograph of a young girl. It can obliterate a wall and leave a tulle curtain untouched. In short, it creates unusual things. The poet's strikes are no more premeditated than lightning. Poetry borrows astonishing contrasts that occur by chance. It disorientates; it accidentally establishes a new order.”
Poetry borrows astonishing contrasts that occur by chance. It disorientates; it accidentally establishes a new order.

You don’t need AI to write a book. You just need some kind of hole inside yourself.
