machine learning systems are susceptible to the implicit biases of the data they are fed
so do other learning systems, like humans. you are not immune to the environment you were raised in
that's literally all "check your privilege" means. become aware of the biases of your dataset and seek to overcome them
@packbat At such time I get back to having full, fluid dreams, I'll upgrade to "it's fun". Ah well!

@Leucrotta The Tigers are playin' to-nite! And I never miss a game.

This thread about the sirens being misinterpreted from "promising what you want" to "promising sex" is relevant to what I think would make Pleasure Island more threatening as a concept: namely, not just smoking, drinking, etc., but satisfaction of one's vices.

I’m the ADHD kid that genuinely and excitedly wants to be friends with you but constantly gets distracted or too depressed when it comes to actually responding to your messages 😬
Why I'm falling in love with poetry
Because of the tears that flow when some poet pulls words out of my head and my heart.
Because of the laughter that gets stolen out of me when something I know to be true gets said out-loud
Because I can get called out the loudest, and seen the clearest, in the same 3 minutes, and I love that efficiency.
Because I can see people like me, and more importantly, people NOT like me, be taken seriously, and believed without commentary (except for response poems)
Because titles like "Ode to my Strap-on" "They Day You Died Because you Wanted To", and "Lessons Learned from a Third Grader" are all beautiful, for different reasons, that are all valid.
Because when I make my own, I don't need a beat from a producer (though sometimes it helps!)
Because hearing feedback and encouragement and audience participation reminds me of church growing up
Because I gave up on church and I don't get to hear "c'mon, now" spoken by a black lady anymore.
Because Poetry is as diverse as I want the world to be.
