in a world of automatic AI translation and a lack of humanity in digital spaces, i find it refreshing to see evidence that text was indeed typed by a human - someone who makes mistakes and that's okay.
i was just browsing a localized version of a website and noticed a word misspelled and for once i didn't feel annoyed, but happy

As neural networks work to render everything perfect in appearance and spiritually empty, all of a sudden it feels immensely intriguing to see a word spelled wrong every now and then.

im not ashamed of my errors… i proudly display my past mistakes and learn from them… drafting a perfect post is another thing, that i will edit… but a text? that is simply absurd!

Periodically I'll spot that I made a typo—misspelling, missed word—in a comment on PI.FYI.
Normally I'd fix or correct something like that. But since there's no edit feature for comments, my only option is to delete and repost the comment.
But I've decided to let my comments remain: errors and all.
There's a willful choice in that decision that is a small reflection of a broader way I'm wanting to live:
this is me—imperfections and stumbles and bruises and limps—and I'm not going to airbrush over it
There's freedom in that!

i feel like a massive hypocrite writing this, but im gonna be honest..
the past year i've been constantly listening to/watching youtube videos and ig reels in order to fill the silence. just loads and loads of useless information and empty talks.
last night i realized that doing so has been keeping me from thinking about stuff, listening to music and in general, being productive. i was filling my head with useless noise so i wouldn't think. it ended up being a comfortable bubble of bullshit that was hard to break out of.
today i stopped the video, grabbed my notes of things i want to DO and played some music in the background. felt much better. i might relapse— i have many times, but im tired of being a vertically scrolling thumb (again).

i used to ride my bicycle/take public transport all the time, but walking is really good actually! it slows down the wildness of modern life, shows you small things you would otherwise drive past. its all around a good idea if you have time to spare of course. great for calming down, thinking, good for relieving stress, good for meeting new people

going to the museums in my city, going to events, visiting art schools as a spectator to view their expositions
it gives me this.. je ne sais quoi feeling. like, euphoria and inspiration and hope in a weird combined way. thinking about art, talking about art - and by that i mean anything from jewelry to graphic design, paintings, poetry, (short) film and sculptures. just fills me with purpose unlike anything else.
im watching my sims be succesful artists and im like.. damn i wanna be that.
