Secondary to that I should write more prose
#and not just as a disaffected but slightly witty academic#cybie speaks#i was reading a play with a book club I have and thinking about informal responses I wrote to it when we first did it in class#and honestly I would like to write like that more to no purpose but tossing things around and seeing what sticks#my discussion board ……

Sure there’s something to be said for popping my poetry on here every time I written a nice line or experiment with a conceit or something but also I feel like archiving my deeply personal writing on a blog that anyone could hypothetically look at is a really voyeuristic mode of thinking about how I and others read media. And constantly mediating (lol!) myself through “how will people from Online read this” via resting too hard on the possibility they will read it at all doesn’t really do good things for my growth as a writer especially as someone with vanishingly small time to write poems these days
All that is to say I have been using the post privately function a lot
#cybie speaks#maybe I will post a few things from recent months that I think are good#but I don’t know

interesting little platonic sympathy there- in the etymology of plagiarism. plagiarius means kidnapper - coined by martial in the context of copied verse, apparently. “he has kidnapped my verse!”. plato in phaedo explores at length the relationship of fatherhood to text, and of the inability of a text to stand independent of its father, its being in need of defence, being a whole body with integrality etc… here the problematic of textuality is engaged, through constitutive ambiguity, and a (socratic) resolution proposed — father, keep a close eye on your son. lest she be misinterpreted

at least one person who is not a fan of me irl is a big fan of my playlists. likewise, i dread to show my biggest fans irl the slop on my spotify account out of fear of judgement.
i call this the scrobbler’s dilemma
#ok im exaggerating but it is funny that this has happened multiple times over a decade#and i thought of the phrase scrobbler’s dilemma today#cybie speaks#loooool#need to post here more#nostalgia heavy on the algia and all that
