“Be Authentic
About needing help
About being human
About sometimes getting angry
About sometimes needing to cry.
Be authentic
That we haven't always got it all together
That we don't always know the answers
That we've failed spectacularly in some things
And risen mightily to the occasion
In others.
And that's...OK.
Be Authentic - For Here We Are
Having this strange, this sad, sacred and beautiful...Human Experience
Though sometimes we're told we need to be Gods,
Goddesses-
But... we're not.
Instead we age. Get ill. Get round, thin. Poor, Proud, Frail... Imperfect
Sometimes we Fail.
...And that's how it's meant to be.
So, dear one
Breathe.
Be Authentic.
It's not about letting ourselves go
But rather, letting ourSelves 'Be.'
Finding Rest in the arms of Self
Restoring ourselves back
To the simple Beauty of this Life.
Be Authentic.
For sometimes we get Lost in the too much refining,
The too much trying. The too much saccharine
Perfection
But our taste-buds for Life can come back
They truly can
And not just taste Life again,
But find Joy.
Be Authentic.
Real
For it's all a process of Sacred Growing.
That we might take this beautiful and rare Life
This Journey...
Together
Until we finally come to meet each other again
Ourselves
The World even -
At the greatest, and yet most simple place
Of all:
That is: The ''Where We Are At. ...Right Now.'”

pro-AI in the sense of "they taught a bread scanning computer to recognize cancer cells" etc etc
against AI in the sense of "we stole artwork from hundreds to thousands of artists, didn't credit them and didn't financially compensate them"

the city where we live doesn't allow public barbecues so my brother fucking welded a grill to a handcart and now hosts "chill and grill sessions" where he sends all his friends his live location so they can hunt him down on their bikes with sausages in their backpacks while he carts it around evading the police like some sort of barbecue vigilante, grilling on the run. i have never been prouder of him

my mum forbade me to say anything to my dad about the top surgery thing, and it's just hit me how funny it would be if i got it done and didn't tell him and just waited for him to notice. i mean, what's he gonna say? "didn't you used to have tits?"
