Surprising to find this intuition in myself (I never would have predicted I thought this), but the major discovery of the AI era for me is there's a huge group of things (art, scholarship, etc) that I literally only care about if a human being makes it

Folks are clearly using this stuff as part of pipelines (I happen to think that’s legally and fiscally imprudent) but these ‘I made a whole finished thing from this single prompt’ posts are earth shattering bullshit

This feels like an extreme version of the environment I’ve experienced in so many nerd spaces (gaming, comics) where women in the space learn to tank enormous amounts of misogyny and abuse because the only way to survive is to prove you’re “one of the guys” or you can “take a joke” or whatever. 😔

Though she & I had such different childhoods in most ways, this quote & everything about the way she wrote herself as a child was my first experience reading something & feeling that it could have been written in my own childhood mind. I felt understood in some way I hadn't ever imagined I could be.

@mjbeasi.comSep 17, 2026, 6:53 PM

This was the quote. 💜😔😢

Person holding the book "An American Childhood" by Annie Dillard, paperback version. The same book, open to the first page.Page of a book with this quote pulled out: “When everything else has gone from my brain—the President's name, the state capitals, the neighborhoods where I lived, and then my own name and what it was on earth I sought, and at length the faces of my friends, and finally the faces of my family—when all this has dissolved, what will be left, I believe, is topology: the dreaming memory of land as it lay this way and that.”

Oh my goodness... this happened and I posted about it, all without having heard that she died two days ago. She is one of the reasons I ever became a writer. Despite how different our work is in nearly every way, her books were a huge influence on me and my voice as an author. I'm devastated. 💔

@mjbeasi.comSep 17, 2026, 3:00 PM

Oh, hi, here’s a funny story about how yesterday morning on stream, I spent, like, fifteen minutes trying to remember a particular Annie Dillard quote, and I was so frustrated that I couldn’t put together the exact words. If only I’d just… swiveled my chair slightly to the left. 😅😭🙃💀

Hey, friends! I recently contributed backing vocals and audio mixing to this cosplay music video for the Reverse: 1999 fandom! What’s especially cool, is the collaboration continues on! Check out the video for links to downloadable audio files & lyrics sheets to join in the lip-sync fun yourself! 🎉

What you need to understand is when workers want financial security, that’s entitlement. When bosses want financial security, that’s a god given right. If you think there’s hypocrisy there, then buddy, you just don’t get business, and its inevitable natural laws.
