A Thing I Want: More Playful Imaginal Experiments
I'm almost shaking-quivering with excitement here, and I have to try to say something, but there's no really good way to say it. So here's the bad/incomplete/short version: Play more with your imagination, it's fun! --- Let's start small. Imagine you have a box in your hands.... - Loopy...
authentic expression
hello, i'm glad to be here. i'd like to know what is important and meaningful to the people reading this, and so that would start with me going first.... I ran out of time replying to this, so all I’ve got is an analogy. I hope it sparks your imagination. The palette an artist chooses doesn’t determine whether or not they make a good painting.... - AlyCat...
I really do believe it has gotten worse. Industry plants, cash grabs, deals with labels that have ways to rob the artists blind via the fine print, AI.. I have heard time and time again that people’s attention spans are shorter. I disagree.... - Shalara...

There is some quality that sets human creation apart, but it's far to pinpoint and takes effort to create that I fear we won't be able to... - nat...
Amazed by people's talent & creativity
I'm super impressed by this guy on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/@ariathome - who walks around cities with his mobile keyboard/looper/speaker rig, creates music based on what he's vibing with or on what other people suggest. His music is so good!... - onSome folks in NYC turned an apartment into a community space in a way that sounds (at least on the face of it) pretty delightful: https://supernuclear.substack.com/p/case-study-merlins-placeby
I feel you. I think there's a lot of wisdom and functionality in wanting a thing and not wanting to be the one who creates it... It reminds me of when I was a musician, being grateful not all audience members were also musicians... although there's grief here too.... Chapter 8: The Final Draft The sky crackled with literary energy as Laye Awakenson faced off against the Cosmic Editor. The giant red pen loomed menacingly, its tip poised to strike out entire sections of reality....
