Stop fucking using genAI. Not even for a joke, not even for that oh so cutting political satire. Every time you use it, you are actively taking food out of our mouths. You are using the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it.

Hey kids, have you heard!? #FragmentsFriday is back. The heat may be melting the skin off my face, but we have poetry and birds, so it's not all bad. 🐦⬛ 🎶 @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social
