Over the past week, I’ve worked through Esmé Weijun Wang’s workshop, Building a Writing Habit While Living with Limitations. In the workshop, we assess our limitations, set writing goals, inventory our resources, explore how we can make the most of our 24 hours. Highly recommend, $117. 📝
🔖📚 Read BookTok encourages reading as an aesthetic and no one is safe from its gaze by Elena Cavender (Mashable).
Insightful piece about how limiting our reading to a particular aesthetic connects with our attention being commodified.
Finished reading: Mr. & Mrs. Witch by Gwenda Bond 📚
Loved it. Scorchingly hot, fun secret agent hijinks. Highly recommend.
I am reading Gwenda Bond’s Mr. & Mrs. Witch right now and one of the 🔥 scenes actually made me cry because it was so beautiful and made me so happy. 📚
🔖📓 Read Automated transcription and some risks of machine interpretation.
Dr. Daniel Turner does a great job illuminating how large language models work and how we need to think about indigeneity and colonialism when choosing our transcription method.

I’m trying to see myself as others see me. Would you please tell me:
- When have you seen me happiest?
- What do you come to me for?
- Where do I stand out against my peers?
