Teaser. So you want to be a writer?
I figured I should mark hitting 1k subs somehow. This is what came to mind. Charles Bukowksi writes this about writing, I dare say - it fits many things, especially today.
Also, this is why AI is not a writer or artist or anything more than a piece of art perhaps itself, at best - no matter how well it imitates creation. It’s no more the creator than the cartoon is the cartoonist.
Thinking it can replace the human will overcome by the something, somewhere that all writers and artists know - well - definitely then, don’t do it. Don’t lie to the world about the how in creating - anything, especially art.
Don’t do it.
That’s politics, not what we do.
Just- Don’t do it.

Also, this is why AI is not a writer or artist or anything more than a tool or maybe, just maybe, a piece of or a great artistic work itself (perhaps one of the glorious best, if we don’t lie)- no matter how well it imitates creation. It’s no more the creator than the cartoon is the cartoonist.

St. Augustine in September
I’d meant to upload this to social media and it slipped my mind.
St. Augustine is a really lovely and interesting place full of history (and mystery) and I hope to go back sometime soon and spend more time exploring.

Hey! We gotta discuss and explain a bit about why shits so crazy. And what to do about it.
If anything here sparks an idea or interest and you wanna connect with me or others or find ways to try It or talk about it? Let’s exchange digits and let’s make it happen. Without us - it’ll just be a mess. With us? 😉
If you think im totally wrong - and wanna show me why - same thing
Influence is for politicians and marketers. This is for kindred.

The Severed Garden by Jim Morrison
A Feast of Friends (The Severed Garden)
Poem By Jim Morrison
Wow, I’m sick of doubt Live in the light of certain South Cruel bindings.
The servants have the power dog-men and their mean women pulling poor blankets over our sailors (And where were you in our lean hour) Milking your moustache or grinding a flower?
I’m sick of dour faces Staring at me from the TV Tower, I want roses in my garden bower; dig? Royal babies, rubies must now replace aborted Strangers in the mud These mutants, blood-meal for the plant that’s plowed.
They are waiting to take us into the severed garden Do you know how pale and wanton thrillful comes death on a strange hour unannounced, unplanned for like a scaring over-friendly guest you’ve brought to bed Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as raven’s claws.
No more money, no more fancy dress This other kingdom seems by far the best until its other jaw reveals incest and loose obedience to a vegetable law. I will not go Prefer a Feast of Friends To the Giant Family.

Shakespeare’s Winter’s Tale - Hermione’s response to false accusation and betrayal. See comments.
A Winter’s Tale by William Shakespeare act 3 scene 2.
One of the three plays he wrote and first performed as the Kings Men during then after the lockdown of 1606; the beginning of the King James sitting on the thrown after Elizabeth’s rule.
HERMIONE: Since what I am to say must be but that
Which contradicts my accusation, and
The testimony on my part no other
But what comes from myself, it shall scarce boot me
To say, "Not guilty." Mine integrity,
Being counted falsehood, shall, as I express it,
Be so received. But thus: if powers divine
Behold our human actions, as they do,
I doubt not then but innocence shall make
False accusation blush and tyranny
Tremble at patience. You, my lord, best know,
Who least will seem to do so, my past life
Hath been as continent, as chaste, as true,
As I am now unhappy; which is more
Than history can pattern, though devised
And played to take spectators. For behold me--
A fellow of the royal bed, which owe
A moiety of the throne, a great king's daughter,
The mother to a hopeful prince -- here standing
To prate and talk for life and honor 'fore
Who please to come and hear. For life, I prize it
As I weigh grief, which I would spare. For honor,
'Tis a derivative from me to mine,
And only that I stand for. I appeal
To your own conscience, sir, before Polixenes
Came to your court, how I was in your grace,
How merited to be so; since he came,
With what encounter so uncurrent I
Have strained t' appear thus; if one jot beyond
The bound of honor, or in act or will
That way inclining, hardened be the hearts
Of all that hear me, and my near'st of kin
Cry fie upon my grave!

From the Tempest by William Shakespeare
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
William Shakespeare
From The Tempest, Act 4 Scene 1 Prospero

Censorship
The Chinese have a saying “Killing the chicken to scare the monkey.”
We’ve seen censorship escalate and we’ve seen the damage and death it causes.
What future do you want?
