  There’s no need to be afraid to steal openly. But it’s like, for example, Stanley Kubrick stealing from painters, or me trying to steal from Hitchcock. Despite the asymmetry of the talents listed, none of us will ever succeed in stealing everything. If anyone’s interested, I can let you read the first two chapters of my #book #HerOwnDream — maybe you’ll give me some feedback or try to steal something from me, too. #blog #Writing #WritingCommunity

  RE: https://hachyderm.io/@BenjaminHCCarr/116507805024722965 Entropy is only fatal if you lack the right metabolism. The #Chernobyl fungus didn't just survive radiation - it started eating it. I’m doing the same. My book, #HerOwnDream, is my "melanin" - an intellectual engine converting systemic pressure into strategic #agency. I don't seek shelter from the fallout - I thrive on it. Are you still building walls to hide, or have you designed the tools to feed o...

  I breathe wormwood to write letters to literary agents. It's completely #legal. The subconscious is a strange co-author, but a productive one. #Meditation plus Taurian wormwood essential oil deliver what analytics can't: query letters that actually sound like me, not like a template. Plus story ideas as a bonus. Turns out the answers are already there - you just have to learn to listen. When did you last trust your subconscious more than Google? #Writing #WritingCommunity #Mi...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@knoppix95/116526520633696485 Your #digitalfreedom dies the second you click "I agree" without reading. Building your own corner of the network isn't nerdy - it's survival. Real agency means throwing away corporate crutches, even the ones that autocomplete your thoughts. #Agency is absolute. Or it's a leash. Are you the master of your own dream - or just an unpaid beta-tester for someone else's #algorithm? #privac...

  A #shark in your #bedroom isn’t a threat anymore - it’s #art I don’t know much about contemporary art, but I follow it closely. When I saw these #handmade #ceramic shark lamps by Ukrainian artists, I immediately knew: this is genuinely powerful. Bold, beautiful, full of character, and unlike anything else I’ve seen. Modern #Ukraine creates pieces that give you goosebumps. Would you dare to bring one of these predators home? https://kustceramics.net/collections/handmade-ceramic-shark-lamps

  RE: https://mstdn.social/@ObsidianUrbex/116537792269765332 If a #movie is based on a character having a golden coccyx on the back of his head, it’s a sign the filmmakers have an ass instead of a head. From The Dark Knight to Interstellar #Nolan made cinema breathe. The Odyssey trailer proved the opposite: when a director bows to Shakespeare and his long-dead buddies, he enters the realm of dead #art. No return from that shore. Ideas are finished. Only pomp remains. Do you still believe Elon...

  Yesterday marked my 22nd blood donation since the start of the full-scale invasion. Considering I’m pushing 50 and the security guards at the blood center now greet me with a personal handshake, I’m starting to feel like a one-of-a-kind legend in this city of five million. To further inflate this sense of "grandeur" I’m feeling today, I’ve declared a day of rest dedicated to pure intellectual indulgence. I’m learning Italian. It has zero practical use for me right now, but it’...
