Every once in a while, I will make a playlist as if I’m making the sound track to my life during that moment, and I feel like this was the best I have very captured a moment of my life in a snapshot
There’s something sooooo lovely about playlists. Like, I think all of us, deep down, are scared of disappearing forever and well, these might be, so far, the only things of mine I want to stick around for people to remember me by, after I turn to little specks of dust forever. It’s so lovely. Truly. I love that someone might be listening to songs I think about when I think of them. I love that I get to go deep inside my mess of a mindscape with my little headphones on. I love when someone shares a bit of their souls via other people’s pieces of soul. It’s so lovely. Anyway, here’s my fall playlist.

I think AI is impersonal. I think it is unethical when it has relied on the theft of actual people’s actual physical (and because of the nature of art, often time emotional) labor. I also think it is unnecessary in creating art. I also think the environmental impacts are atrocious. I also think AI’s biggest supporters are being maliciously ignorant because it’s a fun new toy.
Is it ease? Is it efficiency? People talk about accessibility as if children don’t use crayons and stickers! As if graffiti artists don’t use postal labels as sticker, as if sand mandalas don’t exist, as if cardboard and tape aren’t in over abundance.
