You have to ask for stories - to save lived history and culture. AI is great for some things but greatest loss is our ability to think, and research to make sure what AI feeds you is correct. Too many already don't think or research, just blindly believe. #AI #lifewriting

It was a pleasure speaking to @oeaw.bsky.social about one of my most exciting archival finds in the @bodleian.ox.ac.uk's Disraeli Papers, which led to unearthing the remarkable life of Bettina Wirth. #LifeWriting #cosmopolitanism #fanletters

#BookSky #WritingCommunity #WritersCommunity #Poetry #Booksrme #LifeWriting Consider before taking action:
An important thought to keep in mind. The leader of a cult is never a member of the cult. A member of the cult does not have the courage to be disliked. Fear dominates their thinking.

If you walk a difficult path
Where intention is your primary mission
In a world where the dimension
Is determined by omission,
Be prepared to laugh.

The path of service takes many routes, but the goal is always
harmony. Meet each other face-to-face to create a path of trust. "When we eat the same food, we grow more alike. We drop that mask that separates us."
L. Frenzel

Intention and Path:
Love Imperfection!
Reject insurrection.
Perfection is a reflection
Mirroring no real direction
Except fo draw your attention
To chaotic contention.

Almost As If:
Yesterday upon the field of human clay,
Earth's community lost its way
And vanished from this world of forms
To join the ranks of Chaotic storms.

What happens when we share our writing with the people who feature in it: how do their reactions feed back into our writing?
