Batman is so off-putting to be around and so cold, dismissive, whatever adjective you want to use, because Bruce Wayne was blessed with +100 involuntary charisma at a young age (involuntary inheritance from both parents?) and people just tell him things, even when they're not talking. He's so approachable, so kind, so inviting, as to put almost any baseline human at ease. Brucie pings as not just inherently trustworthy, but so burningly charismatic that he invites people to divulge their deepest secrets simply by existing in near proximity. Batman wears a cowl and tells people to fuck off via body language so he can do his job.

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

I will not think less of myself just because you do not know how to love me.

It’s our choices that matter in the end. Not wishes, not words, not promises.

If you care about someone, you’d be honest with them about everything no matter what it is.

What, the forest-dwelling entities with imperfect human mimicry who insinuate themselves into groups of hikers? Yeah, we had one of those. Clocked it immediately, of course. Honestly it kind of fell in that so-inept-it's-kind-of-charming range. We just played along until it'd had it's fill of marshmallows and shambled back into the treeline. We might have been violating some kind of killjoy wildlife contact best practices but what the hell, can't plan around every little thing. Why, what happened to you guys

Unconditional love isn't a free pass to hurt me.

I think a lot of people who support AI art, or art designed to sell, have never really, truly attempted to create anything of their own.

I’m by no means a creator, or a musician, or an artist, or a poet. However, I’ve made songs. I’ve sung my own tunes. I’ve wrote my own poetry. It’s nothing groundbreaking, or very good, nor would I share with anyone the contents of those notes. But, it helps me cope. It helps me to keep on going, and it helps me to refine who I am as a person

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

Support real artists ☀️

the world is getting so ugly and bleak and it’s hard not to feel so hopeless. but we have to remember that they want us to feel that way.

it reminds me of this quote by dan savage - “During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night, and it was the dance that kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.”

joy is resistance. it’s really scary times but we are all in this together.

Someone being patient with you on your bad days is one of the softest forms of love
