Hey. Hi. Listen up. AI is a plague on creative spaces. Having "a feeling" someone might be using AI is reason enough to not engage with their work, but it is NOT a good enough reason for you to publicly drag their reputation. "But it looks like—" "But it reads like—" No. GC speculation is not PROOF.

Also, my lovely psychotherapist friend, Emma and I are running an online class about friendship in October as a part of the Beautiful Words Festival. It's going to be really quite wonderful. Pay what you can❤️😊 Available for 2 weeks after recording. www.eventbrite.co.nz/e/friendship...

A man (20s?) has just ordered a take-away coffee. There's a print on his hoodie that says: "You are more loved than you will ever know." Ambling along in the sun. Eating a pie with all signs of enjoyment, tomato sauce on his fingers. (2)
