I recommend Peter Pauper press or paper blanks journals. This is my one. It’s perfect because it has a bird on it, and it’s called the bird of paradise journal which reminds me of one of my favourite songs (Good Fortune - PJ Harvey). If you like birds get this journal it is even more beautiful IRL. The blank pages are good because I can write down anything, from my weekly tarot readings, lists and hater rants.

I draw /paint/ collage a lot in my journals so I am very particular about paper - this is my very favorite journal, it’s well built and the paper is thick enough to withstand all sorts of mediums without warping/bleeding to the other side. They have them in several different sizes too

Sometimes I recommend being a hater. I’m not here to talk about the numerous quality uses of AI, how often it is actually used nor am I here to critique AI without strawmanning it. I don’t care if I strawman an account of AI because I genuinely despise the way most people use AI. I think AI generated images are ugly. I think that AI cannot hold a half decent conversation. I’m completely avoidant when it comes to showing AI my writing; I’ve never done it and I refuse to. I hate when you go to that one poetry website and there is AI “analysis” there, because its not real textual analysis and it upholds a certain contextualised intentionalist framework of reading a text reinforced in high school English. I hate that the meta AI will influence what products will be advertised to you. I don’t care if it’s the future. I genuinely love being called a dinosaur because I hate AI.

When we let go of the fear we hold towards the smallest creatures of our environment, and learn how to immerse ourself in an instance of nature rather than making an instance of nature our own, we learn to truly be alive. Bugs are great because you can’t own them, but you can admire their beauty. #bugnation2024
