"If you use ChatGPT to write your novel, you haven’t “written” anything. It’s plagiarism. It’s like paying someone to go to the gym for you, then claiming you are now a tip-top athlete".
“Writers and artists pay their taxes; we don’t lurk offshore like many tech companies... and yet this unfair, theft-legitimising, anti-creatives bill was passed.” The bestselling author of Labyrinth Kate Mosse on the UK’s “betrayal” data bill. prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/technolo…

.@joynessthebrave "What does a day of work look like when you are writing poetry?" #ChristianWiman: "Chaos. I move around, mutter, curse, stare at the sky for an hour, occasionally stop all this to hastily scribble a flurry of words..." plough.com/en/topics/cult…
“To the extent that we inhabit a culture where thought and writing have become effortless, we will also inhabit a culture incapable of responsible and redemptive relationships.” @jeff_bilbro plough.com/en/topics/life…
So honored by this bright and careful review of The Locust Years by one of my literary heroes, @SallyThomasNC . Thanks to @Fare_Fwd for publishing it. “One striking hallmark of Pastor’s body of work is that nobody else today seems to be asking his soul where its wisdom is…”
I've shared this before but it's worth doing again because it's sensational. Also showcases just how awesome the Ozzy lineup was on that first album. Orchestration alone in this is amazing.

These poems by Jane Greer published by @Plough mean a great deal to me as a parent: "Help me be mild. The good in me please amplify" @NorthDakotaJane will be missed by many. plough.com/en/topics/cult…
I am very sad to report that the wonderful Catholic poet Jane Greer @NorthDakotaJane has died. Please keep her soul, her family and her husband Jim in your prayers.

God bless, Ozzy. Thanks for shining so brightly. What a legend. youtu.be/MubJdKKOyHA?si…
It's a beautiful thing to have new Deftones tracks in our ears. This is a stone cold belter. Looking forward to the album next month. Deftones - My Mind is a Mountain youtu.be/eVqZrI9JE6Q?si…
