The Backrooms
They say good art changes how you perceive - whether it be of yourself or the world it adds something. Or perhaps it takes something away from your perception that allows you to see something more clearly. One way or another, art allows you to recognize things that you might not otherwise recognize through mundane life. I've been exploring the backrooms of my mind lately, revisiting memories and past decisions. Memory is a fickle thing according to experts, it is well known that eye witness […] -

Jessica Ellis about making films with AI:
"Idk so far I haven’t been remotely surprised in who is excited to use this job-destroying, resource-decimating tech; there is a certain spiritual emptiness to much of their work that seems to slot right in with the idea that people don’t matter."Using AI to write or produce "art" is embarrassing and i wish more people will feel more shame.
As society shows its scorn of AI more, Would you think AI schemers will be more shamed? -
The Places in My Dreams
The world within, the world of my dreams, is similar to the one I walk through every day. But it is different.
The streets bend strangely. The rooms open where they should not. The people and places are often indifferent to me, and sometimes, they are even antagonistic.
They are not merely people and places. They are representations of emotions I have not yet worked through from the previous day. Sixteen waking hours are not enough to fully grasp all that I have experienced, endured, feared, desired, regretted, or misunderstood.
And so, in the night, these things come alive.
They take on faces. They become houses, roads, crowds, locked doors, ruined landscapes, familiar rooms made unfamiliar. They guide me through the shadow lands—not always kindly, but truthfully. They show me what I could not see while awake.
My dreams are not escapes from the day.
They are the day returning in another form, asking to be understood.Some nights I find myself back in places I have never been, and yet they feel older than memory. A school that was never my school. A church with hallways that keep multiplying. A childhood home rearranged by grief. A city I know by instinct, though no map has ever held it.

In these places, I am often trying to get somewhere.
I am late. I am lost. I am looking for someone. I am trying to explain myself to people who will not listen. I am searching for a room, a door, a vehicle, a path, a way home. Sometimes I am carrying something fragile. Sometimes I have forgotten what I was supposed to carry. Sometimes I am responsible for a task I do not understand, surrounded by people who seem to know the rules but refuse to tell me.
This is the cruelty of the dream world: everyone else seems initiated.
They move through the strange landscape as if it is ordinary. They know which hallway leads out, which road is safe, which bus to board, which door not to open. I am the stranger in a world that somehow belongs to me. I am the dreamer, and yet I am not in control.
Perhaps this is why the places feel antagonistic. They do not hate me. They are simply unwilling to flatter me. They will not pretend I am finished with what I have not faced. They will not comfort me with easy explanations. They turn my emotions into architecture and ask me to walk through them.
Fear becomes a narrow bridge.
Regret becomes a house with too many locked rooms.
Anger becomes a storm on the edge of town.
Shame becomes a crowd that sees me before I am ready to be seen.
Grief becomes a road that always returns to the same place.
And longing—longing becomes a light in a window I can never quite reach.
I wake from these dreams with the feeling that I have traveled farther than my body could have gone. I have crossed cities, fields, stairways, basements, sanctuaries, ruins, and train stations. I have spoken with the dead and avoided the living. I have been judged by strangers and ignored by friends. I have wandered through the unfinished weather of my own soul.
Then morning comes, and the ordinary world returns.
The walls are where I left them. The floor is solid. The dog needs to go out. The coffee waits. The phone glows with its small demands. The day begins again, pretending to be separate from the night.
But I know better.
The dream has left its residue. A feeling follows me, sometimes faint, sometimes heavy. A hallway from the dream lingers inside the hallway of the house. A face from the night appears behind the face of someone I know. A mood clings to the morning like fog.
The shadow lands do not vanish when I wake.
They retreat.
They wait beneath the visible world, beneath errands and conversations, beneath sermons and chores, beneath the version of myself that knows how to answer when someone asks, “How are you?”
I say, “I’m fine.”
But somewhere beneath that answer, an entire city is still burning, or flooding, or rebuilding itself in the dark. -
Self-righteousness is a loud din raised to drown the voice of guilt within us.

Self-contempt, however vague, sharpens our eyes for the imperfections of others. We usually strive to reveal in others the blemishes we hide in ourselves.

1/ Ich mach jetzt mal was, was man nicht machen soll: #PublicShaming.
Ich sollte eigentlich laufen gehen, aber ich bin zu faul und außerdem will ich noch dieses Gutachten fertig machen und dieses Paper lesen, damit ich dann dieses andere Paper fertig schreiben kann.
Dabei wäre ich wahrscheinlich nach dem Laufen viel produktiver. #ShameOnMe
Ihr könnt jetzt das Video von #HerbstInPeking mit dem Titel #Shame gucken:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZDfWC0AwxM
Ihr könnt aber auch rausgehen und laufen. Das Video ist 16 Minuten lang. Da seid Ihr schon dreimal um den Block gelaufen.
Ich gehe morgen laufen. Versprochen!

Dare not to be guilty of ill Things, tho’ thou wert sure to be secret and unpunished. Conscience will sit upon it, and that is Witness, Jury, Judge, and Executioner.

How many scandals will it take for DOJ to investigate Clarence Thomas?
Let’s get this straight: If a state legislator accepts so much as a sandwich, they must disclose it.
So it’s been very difficult to understand how Supreme Court Justice #Clarence #Thomas has gotten away with accepting free trips on superyachts and private jets belonging to a billionaire, #Harlan #Crow, not to mention a sweetheart real estate deal with that same billionaire, without disclosing them. For years.
As unsavory as all this is, it’s also not out of character. Thomas and his wife have been at the center of all kinds of ethics scandals for years.
It has gotten very disheartening, even disgusting, to watch the never-ending Thomas carnival of #corruption bring #shame on the Supreme Court. It’s time for it to stop.
Now that it’s come to light, the party should be over for Thomas. I say "should" because while there is a lot of #talk about #accountability, it’s been less clear how that will come to pass.
Thomas has resisted calls to #resign. #Impeachment seems highly unlikely given the Republican leadership of the House. Senate #hearings may happen, and that’s a positive step.
Fortunately, there are also other options, including one very good one with solid legal underpinnings: a Department of Justice (DOJ) #investigation under federal statutes that require disclosure of the kind of perks Thomas has enjoyed, and also authorize #penalties for violators.
The #DOJ should investigate Thomas’s unethical and possibly illegal violations #without #delay.

It's "funny" how a few words can seemingly undo months and years of work on your #self-esteem, #self-worth, and #BodyImage. Writing this blog post was hard and I cried a lot as I wrote it. But I want to share it with the world anyway, hoping that maybe other people feel a little less alone because of it.

#TheWhale: "...… a tender and frequently overwhelming character #drama, albeit carrying Aronofsky’s love-it-or-hate-it penchant for directness and preoccupation with metaphysics."
Aronofsky is one of my all-time favourite filmmakers, so yeah, I'm on the 'love it' side of things here.
