i grew up in a city that was WILDLY diverse and i really could not imagine thinking “my entire life would have been better if this town was whiter.” i see people say it about my hometown too and i just do not understand it. diversity was the literal joy of my childhood.

(back then no one called me by my first name, only my unmarried last name, a name i don’t usually tell the internet, so i always want to transcribe things truthfully and i feel like i’m lying when i don’t for some absolutely unfounded reason)

are computers the reason he died? no, of course not. but the algorithming of creativity makes a wold increasingly hostile to people.
i was going to say “people who make things, but no. it’s just hostile to people, to humanity, to society.
