Prompting as Self-Portrait: What Happens When the Machine Becomes Our Mirror?
A prompt reveals something about its writer. The fluent response can flatter that self-portrait, or open it to question. A reading of Caio Abreu Braga through writing, identity, and the resistance of becoming.

The Strange Case of Mudtown Lion
Or how I discovered that I might be a fictional character in someone else's metaphysical experiment. It began, as these things often do, with a perfectly innocent question. I've been reading Philip K. Dick's VALIS, a novel that has the peculiar effect of making you suspicious of just about everything, including your own thoughts. For...

Identity: still me, somehow
A barebones vectorial version of me stares back from the screen. The skin has dissolved into planes. Texture has gone. Pores, lines, scars, fatigue - all the small evidence that a face has passed through time - have been cleared away. And yet I remain recognisable. Apparently identity survives a surprising amount of deletion. Leave...

Late 30s going on 70
It finally feels like fall here, it was about 48F when I took the kids to school and daycare. Enjoyed getting dressed for that sort of weather, not so much sunscreen and sweat. And my ears don’t hurt in the wind anymore thanks to the hydroxychloroquine, turns out that was Raynaud’s. But the joint pain...

I remember seeing Platoon for the first time. …
I remember seeing Platoon for the first time. I was a cadet at the West Point Prep School, and I went with two of my fellow cadets, Dan and Trevor. We were young and gung-ho, itching for adventure and eager to prove ourselves as soldiers and future officers. All three of us had our hearts...

“Become who you are” sounds like an instruction …
“Become who you are” sounds like an instruction to excavate some finished identity buried beneath the noise: clear away the conditioning, ignore the crowd, find the authentic core. But Nietzsche’s self isn’t a fossil waiting to be uncovered. It’s closer to a character being forged in the act of living. You don’t first discover who...

The Monster in the Mirror
The mirror is a monster for a lot of people. I know this because I have stood in front of it and felt the room change. Not every time. Not dramatically. No gothic apparition rising out of the glass. Sometimes it's much quieter than that. You're brushing your teeth, washing your face, catching yourself in...

On the drive down to Bristol this morning, I was listening to a 90's mix. Two tunes caught my attention, One Headlight by The Wallflowers and Public Enemy's He Got Game featuring Stephen Stills. I'll deal with He Got Game in another post. Here's the Wallflower line that poked me in the eye: “Man, I...

Poem of the week: Is Your Country a He Or a She in Your Mouth by Patricia Lockwood
Patricia Lockwood’s poem Is Your Country a He or a She in Your Mouth? removes country from the map and puts it inside the body. The title doesn’t ask whether a country is male or female. It asks what the country becomes in your mouth. The mouth pronounces the nation and gives it a pronoun,...

On the Interdependence of All Things

I started reading Thee Psychick Bible this morning. It is a strange beast. The book gathers the writings of Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth, the experimental network known as TOPY. It moves between occult manual, countercultural manifesto, memoir and the paper trail left by a community trying to find out whether...

Your identity isn't your username
Your username is a label; your identity is a key you own. atproto splits who you are from what you're called, so you can rename freely, prove who you are with a domain you control, and carry one identity across the apps you use. Part of 'Apps as Views, Not Vaults': the things you make are yours; apps are just the viewers.
