Ese fenómeno por el cual parejas con unos sueldos de poco más de 1000 euros iban al banco y les daban una hipoteca a 40 años no sólo para una casa, para una casa, los muebles y electrodomésticos, la boda y la luna de miel. Era la España del pelotazo; y el pelotazo nos golpeó a todos en la cara. Con la restricción del crédito tras la quiebra de un banco al otro lado del Atlántico, la consecuente recesión y el paro pasando de los menos de dos millones en 2007 hasta los más de 6 millones en 2013, la mayor consecuencia social fueron los desahucios por impago de las hipotecas, que se habían firmado y celebrado antes del crack. Según el CGPJ entre 2008 y 2016 se llevaron a cabo más de 330.000 lanzamientos hipotecarios. Como nacido en 1996 recuerdo ver desde mi cuerpo adolescente los informativos hablando de subidas, subidas de impuestos, subidas del paro, subidas de la prima de riesgo y  también del número de desahucios que se ejecutaban cada mes, cada semana y cada día. Se empezó a hablar de expulsar a personas de sus casas como un indicador de la crisis. Sin reparar que detrás de esos números había miles de personas. Con este drama humanitario de fondo mi adolescencia también se vió sacudida por un fenómeno al que no recuerdo haber asistido en mi infancia: las resistencias. Fui  testigo desde el piso que mi madre había alquilado en el centro de la ciudad antes de la crisis, de la creación de los movimientos antidesahucios, la Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca y el movimiento 15-M. El relato ya no era el de pobres familias que dejaban su casa por no poder pagarla. Frente a la idea de que muchas familias de clase trabajadora habían pecado de avaricia y vivido “por encima de sus posibilidades” hubo personas que decidieron defenderse y escribir en pancartas su propio relato. El relato de miles de personas que confiaron en el sistema y se vieron traicionados. La narrativa de las víctimas a las que se les había culpabilizado de su propia tragedia. Parejas que se compraron la casa que el sistema les vendió que necesitaban, con una hipoteca que un banco les había concedido sin objeciones asistían atónitos años después a un índice de paro galopante, un endeudamiento brutal, la negativa del banco a conceder más créditos y la llegada de una una orden de desahucio. Esta situación fue soportada mientras acomodados tertulianos les culpabilizaron de su situación, les trataron como irresponsables por querer lo mismo que habían tenido sus padres; por hacer aquello que desde pequeños habían aprendido que era el pilar de una vida adulta, tener su propia casa. Este cambio de relato llegó con el destierro de la vergüenza. Con el convencimiento de que lejos de ser responsables de su propia desdicha, o de percibir su situación como un fracaso individual, supieron ver que estaban pagando los platos rotos de los bancos, las administraciones y las constructoras. Surgieron movimientos vecinales, plataformas de ayuda mutua, resistencias activas frente a los desahucios; y la palabra indignado pasó a definir a una mayoría social. En este contexto el cine español, decidió posar la cámara frente a los que estaban perdiendo su casa. Se narraron historias que intentaron mostrar lo que significa perder, no sólo un bien inmueble sino su proyecto de vida y desarraigo que conlleva. Aquí algunos ejemplos: Cinco metros cuadrados 2011 Techo y comida 2015                                                    Cerca de tu casa 2016   Y más recientemente: En los márgenes 2022 Cuatro paredes 2025 Recomiendo que veáis cada una de ellas. La historia no se repite pero sí que rima, estamos frente a una nueva crisis de vivienda y esta vez las víctimas son los inquilinos en lugar de los hipotecados. De nuevo la idea de hipotecarse para que al menos el techo sobre el que haces tu vida sea tuyo, cuando termines de pagarlo dentro de 40 años si es que lo terminas de pagar, se postula como la única opción para un problema del que ya demostró no serlo. Los ciudadanos tenemos el deber de marcar el camino a nuestros gobernantes y de exigir soluciones reales y responsabilidades a los verdaderos culpables. Si la ley no nos respeta, hagamos que la ley sea respetable.   La entrada El cine testigo de la crisis de vivienda se publicó primero en Atroz con leche. ]]> 2026/09/27/el-cine-testigo-de-la-crisis-de-vivienda/feed/ 0 Canciones para cuando llegan las nubes 2026/09/20/canciones-para-cuando-llegan-las-nubes/ 2026/09/20/canciones-para-cuando-llegan-las-nubes/#comments Sun, 20 Sep 2026 14:34:45 +0000 ?p=68293 Arrancamos temporada y hay que hacerlo con fuerza.

Pues sí, claro. Siempre apetece leer cuando llega esta parte del año en que todo parece ralentizarse, aunque estemos sufriendo un cambio climático ya imparable y solo queden ganas de esconderse a oscuras en alguna bodega fresca. El caso es que por fin hallé el momento para leer la última obra de Fran Olivas y bueno, debo reconocer que me ha impactado mucho. En “Otro Dolor” Fran aborda de nuevo temas tabú para el colectivo, ese enorme grupo de personas en el que me incluyo, y es cada vez más disperso cuando debería permanecer unido ante las constantes agresiones que sufrimos, algunas desde el interior. Pero voy a dejar ese camino para centrarme en lo que he venido a compartir con vosotres. Casi todes tenemos en nuestro fuero interno el deseo, confesado o no, de tener pareja y que esta sea perfecta: el amor verdadero y eterno.  Muchas veces no es así aunque, en ocasiones, hay personas LGTBIQA+ que lo consiguen. No obstante (siempre hay un pero) los humanos no somos eternos y llega el momento en que desaparecemos. La muerte nos lleva consigo y de eso nadie quiere hablar. Excepto Fran. Nuestro querido biólogo marino, psicólogo y psicoanalista en ciernes ha tenido la osadía de mostrarnos, cito textualmente, cómo es <<el duelo y la pérdida en lesbianas, gais y bisexuales>> ademas del impacto que el heteropatriarcado tiene en el sufrimiento de estos viudas y viudos. No son opiniones personales. Se trata de un ensayo construido tras entrevistar a 27 personas lesbianas, gais y bisexuales en el trance de la viudedad, habiendo recibido de viva voz, y desde la propia herida, la experiencia del duelo. Observaréis que faltan las personas transexuales, pero sucede que nadie de esa naturaleza acudió a la convocatoria que realizó nuestro autor, labor que le ocupó durante bastantes meses. Todo esto no se ha hecho al azar, la Universidad de Granada, a través de Francisco Cruz Quintana, Catedrático del Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológico, apoyó y colaboró en este proyecto magnífico. En sus páginas nos muestra los distintos escenarios en los que se han desarrollado los duelos de los participantes, así como citas directas de la propia boca de los afectados. No quiero desentrañar más el contenido del libro, pero podéis imaginaros su desarrollo. Solo añadiré lo que figura en una de sus contratapas <<el duelo no entiende de armarios ni de la moralidad vigente>> es puro dolor, sin paños calientes que valgan. Imaginad entonces que se deba sufrir en un entorno hostil. Pero no miremos sólo el dolor, como dice en su contraportada, esta obra tambien muestra la indoblegable capacidad humana de amar y ser amado ante cualquier clase de opresión. Del autor ya os he hablado en todas las entradas que le he dedicado. Son bastantes porque Fran Olivas siempre tiene cosas muy importantes que decir, sea en narrativa, poesía o ensayo.  Qué necesarias son figuras como él en el activismo que estamos condenados a realizar.  Ojalá algún día sea posible relajarnos y dejar de luchar. Francisco Javier Olivas es un granadino de Pinos Puente, biólogo marino -profesión que ejerce en Málaga- pero también psicólogo sanitario y se encuentra estudiando psicoanálisis en estos momentos.  Ha escrito “El tercer Lobo”, “La memoria prestada”, “El olvido de todos” y  “No quisimos ser soldados” entre otras obras. Editorial Cántico ha sido la encargada de hacerlo posible y ponerlo en circulación dentro de su Colección Culpables, con una acertadísima portada: un bellísimo San Sebastián asaetado de F. Holland Day, intervenido por Daniel Vera. El libro se puede encontrar en vuestras librerías de referencia. Si no lo tuviesen podéis encargarlo seguro. ¡¡Vivan las librerías de barrio!! Y ya estaría, os dejo que leáis tranquiles. -Besos casa- -stop- La entrada Otro dolor, y de qué clase.

Tim Curry, al día siguiente. Los dos con 80 años. Y llevo desde que me enteré con una sensación bastante rara, porque no eran familia, ni amigos, ni dos artistas que uno relacionaría normalmente entre sí. No tenían prácticamente nada que ver y, sin embargo, joder, tiene todo el sentido que se hayan ido juntos. Me viene a la cabeza una de esas marquesinas antiguas, llenas de bombillas, de Broadway, de la Gran Vía o del West End, me da igual. Una de esas que casi hacen daño a la vista, un poco horteras y preciosas al mismo tiempo, con todo encendido y funcionando como si nada pudiera fallar. Y de repente se funden dos bombillas. Solo dos. La marquesina sigue ahí, la gente sigue entrando al teatro, la función empieza y nadie para el mundo porque hayan dejado de funcionar dos putas bombillas. Pero tú miras y las ves. Faltan. Y no puedes dejar de mirar justo esos dos huecos. Creo que eso es lo que siento con Dolly y Tim. Porque los dos eran, cada uno a su manera, demasiado. Dolly era demasiado rubia, demasiado escotada, demasiado enjoyada, demasiado sonriente, demasiado Dolly, y precisamente por eso era maravillosa. Llevaba unas pelucas que debían tener código postal propio, unas uñas con las que yo no sería capaz ni de abrir una lata de Coca-Cola y construyó durante décadas ese personaje exageradísimo que casi parecía una caricatura. Solo que había una pequeña diferencia: ella estaba en el chiste. Siempre. Mientras mucha gente pensaba que se estaba riendo de aquella rubia neumática de Tennessee, Dolly escribía canciones, montaba negocios, ganaba dinero y construía una carrera de esas que ya no se pueden explicar sin empezar a utilizar palabras grandes. Y además tenía algo que siempre me ha fascinado: nunca pareció necesitar que los demás fueran menos para sentirse ella más. Creo que por eso los maricas la quisimos tanto. No hacía falta que llevara una bandera arcoíris pegada al culo ni que estuviera todo el día recordándonos lo buena aliada que era. Simplemente estaba ahí. Cuando tocaba hablar, hablaba; cuando tocaba defender, defendía; y luego seguía con su peluca, sus tetas, sus lentejuelas y su vida.     Tim Curry era otra historia, aunque no tanto como parece. Tim Curry apareció en 1975 vestido de Frank-N-Furter con corsé, tacones, medias de rejilla, maquillaje, esa boca y esa actitud de “sí, voy vestido así, ¿algún problema?”. En 1975. Ahora vemos Rocky Horror y todo aquello nos parece camp, divertido, mítico, carne de disfraz, karaoke y fiesta temática, pero hay que intentar verlo con los ojos de entonces. Aquello era una barbaridad. Y Tim Curry no salió a pedir permiso, ni intentó hacer a Frank-N-Furter simpático para que la gente lo aceptara. Salió y dijo: esto es lo que hay. Y encima consiguió que fuera sexy, que eso sí que tiene mérito. A veces olvidamos lo importante que fue ver cosas así cuando éramos jóvenes, sobre todo para los que crecimos sin internet, que dicho así suena a que cazábamos mamuts, pero era exactamente eso: no podías meterte en TikTok y encontrarte en cinco minutos a doscientos tíos como tú, ni buscar en Google “soy gay y no sé qué coño me pasa”, ni tenías un algoritmo asegurándote que había una comunidad entera al otro lado esperando para decirte que tranquilo, que no eras el único. Teníamos pistas. Una película que alguien te pasaba, una revista, una canción, un videoclip que veías a horas absurdas, una entrevista, una foto, un personaje que aparecía durante dos minutos en una serie y te hacía mirar la pantalla un poco más de la cuenta. Y con todo aquello ibas montando algo, un mapa a trozos, sin saber muy bien adónde llevaba. Por eso creo que algunas muertes de famosos joden tanto, aunque racionalmente suene absurdo. Yo no conocía a Dolly Parton. No conocía a Tim Curry. Ellos no tenían ni puta idea de quién soy yo. Pero han estado ahí toda mi vida, y esa es la parte que duele, porque cuando empieza a morir la gente que ha estado ahí “desde siempre”, de repente te das cuenta de algo bastante desagradable: ese “siempre” eres tú. Es tu vida, tus años, tu juventud, tus recuerdos, tu tiempo. Y entonces ya no estás llorando solamente porque se haya muerto Dolly Parton. Estás llorando un poquito al tío que eras cuando escuchabas ciertas canciones. No estás llorando solamente a Tim Curry. Estás pensando en la primera vez que viste Rocky Horror y aquello te pareció una locura maravillosa, y en todo lo que ha pasado desde entonces. Ahí es cuando empiezas a hacer cuentas que nadie te había pedido y te entran ganas de mandar a tomar por culo al calendario. Porque, además, 80 años ya no me parecen una edad tan imposible como me parecían cuando tenía veinte, y ese es quizá el detalle más feo de todo esto. Antes se moría gente mayor. Ahora empiezan a morirse personas que recuerdas jóvenes. Y ahí cambia la película.     Después de conocer sus muertes, empezaron los homenajes a Dolly y a Tim. Hubo canciones, fotos, corsés, pelucas, medias de rejilla y seguro que algún corsé que debería ser denunciado ante el Tribunal de La Haya. Como debe ser. Porque a Tim Curry no se le puede despedir con un minuto de silencio y a Dolly tampoco. Hay gente a la que hay que despedir haciendo ruido, cantando fatal, poniéndose brillo aunque sea martes, besando a quien te dé la gana y entrando en una habitación sin pedir perdón por ocupar espacio. Creo que eso es lo que los dos tenían en común. Dolly con una peluca de treinta centímetros y Tim en corsé consiguieron decir algo bastante parecido: no te hagas pequeño para que los demás estén más cómodos. No rebajes el volumen de lo que eres. No escondas lo raro. No intentes ser menos marica, menos bollera, menos trans, menos gordo, menos intenso, menos exagerado, menos tú. A lo mejor precisamente eso que llevas media vida intentando disimular es lo que te hace interesante. Y sí, ya sé que esto empieza a sonar a moraleja y no quiero. A tomar por culo la moraleja. Estoy triste. Eso es todo. Estoy triste porque se han muerto Dolly Parton y Tim Curry, porque significaron mucho para mucha gente como nosotros, porque me recuerdan cosas mías y porque me recuerdan también el tiempo que llevo encima. Y no pasa nada por admitirlo, aunque tampoco quiero acabar esto llorando encima de un piano. A Dolly le parecería una horterada. Bueno, probablemente no. Tim sí que se reiría de nosotros. Así que prefiero volver a la marquesina. La función sigue, claro que sigue, siempre sigue. Mañana habrá otros nombres en los carteles y chavales que no saben quién coño eran Dolly Parton y Tim Curry, y alguno los buscará. Escuchará Jolene, verá por primera vez a Frank-N-Furter bajar en aquel ascensor y a lo mejor pensará: hostia, ahora lo entiendo. Y durante un rato esas dos bombillas se volverán a encender, porque supongo que eso es lo bueno de todo esto: que algunas luces se apagan, pero seguimos sabiendo dónde estaba el interruptor. Ayer había dos luces más. Hoy hay dos huecos negros. La marquesina sigue encendida, claro que sí. Pero los que llevamos mucho tiempo mirándola sabemos perfectamente lo que falta. … dos bombillas.   La entrada … Y entonces se apagaron dos bombillas se publicó primero en Atroz con leche. ]]> 2026/09/06/y-entonces-se-apagaron-dos-bombillas/feed/ 3 Canciones para uno como el que vivimos y otros tantos veranos 2026/07/12/canciones-para-uno-como-el-que-vivimos-y-otros-tantos-veranos/ 2026/07/12/canciones-para-uno-como-el-que-vivimos-y-otros-tantos-veranos/#comments Sun, 12 Jul 2026 18:03:51 +0000 ?p=68208 A propósito del verano y para no dejar de acompañarte con el calor, aquí tienes treinta canciones para no olvidar.

Cada vez que alguien intenta explicar por qué las Spice Girls conectaron tanto con la comunidad gay, aparecen teorías larguísimas sobre empoderamiento, performance, género, iconografía pop y probablemente algún PDF de 47 páginas. Y yo cada vez estoy más convencido de que la explicación es muchísimo más sencilla. Las Spice Girls crearon el primer espacio seguro para miles de niños maricas de los noventa. Sin saberlo. Porque hay que recordar cómo era aquello. La masculinidad de los noventa tenía la sutileza de una excavadora. Había que ser duro. Había que ser serio. Había que gustar del fútbol aunque no te gustara el fútbol. Y luego aparecieron cinco inglesas vestidas como si hubieran perdido una apuesta colectiva. Y dijeron algo revolucionario. Que podías ser raro. Que podías exagerar. Que podías elegir un personaje. Que podías ser demasiado. Y, sobre todo, que podías tener una pandilla. Que creo que es la parte que menos se analiza. Porque nosotros no elegíamos una Spice Girl favorita. Elegíamos una identidad. Era prácticamente el primer test de personalidad de una generación. Mucho antes de tener que elegir entre el pueblo azul y el amarillo en el Grand Prix, muchísimo antes de que España se dividiera entre Bisbal y Bustamante, antes de que Conchita nos sometiera al polígrafo y mucho antes de que este país nos obligara a posicionarnos a muerte entre Belén Esteban y María José Campanario. Y funcionó. Porque de repente había un lugar donde nadie parecía juzgarte por ser intenso, expresivo o dramático. Que casualmente eran tres delitos gravísimos para un adolescente gay de los noventa. Y por eso creo que Wannabe sigue funcionando treinta años después. No por la canción. Ni siquiera por las Spice Girls. Sino porque durante tres minutos nos vendieron una fantasía que resultó ser bastante útil. La idea de que existía un grupo de amigos donde encajabas exactamente como eras. Y sinceramente, viendo cómo estaba el patio en 1996, aquello era bastante más revolucionario que el zig-a-zig-ah. Treinta años después seguimos celebrando Wannabe, pero sospecho que muchos no estamos celebrando una canción. Estamos celebrando el refugio. Y eso, para un single pop de tres minutos, no está nada mal.

(Gracias por la inspiración, precioso) Venía a decir que estaba cansado de esa gente que reniega de determinadas formas de vivir mientras, en el fondo, parece desear exactamente aquello que critica. Comparaba esa actitud con las beatas de pueblo que dedicaban media vida a escandalizarse de «las frescas», cuando quizá lo que realmente les corroía por dentro era una envidia feroz. Le di un «me gusta», le respondí casi por impulso… y seguí con mi día. Pero la idea decidió seguir conmigo. Se quedó dando vueltas en algún rincón de la cabeza, como hacen esas canciones que aparecen sin pedir permiso y ya no hay manera de quitárselas de encima. Porque creo que detrás de esa reflexión hay algo mucho más grande que la simple hipocresía. Todos nos hemos cruzado alguna vez con esa persona que parece necesitar dejar muy claro lo que jamás haría. «Jamás iría a una sauna». «Jamás usaría una aplicación para ligar». «Jamás tendría una relación abierta». «Jamás vestiría de determinada manera». «Jamás iría a un Pride». «Jamás…» Y esos «jamás», curiosamente, suelen pronunciarse con una intensidad difícil de explicar. Como si no bastara con que algo no te interesara. Como si hubiera que elevarlo a la categoría de pecado para sentirse un poco mejor. Y no. No siempre es así. Sería muy cómodo decir que cualquiera que critica algo es porque, en realidad, desea hacerlo. El mundo no funciona de una forma tan simple. Hay quien no conecta con determinadas maneras de vivir y punto. Todos tenemos nuestros límites, nuestras preferencias y nuestras líneas rojas, y ninguna necesita justificarse. El problema empieza cuando una elección personal deja de ser una elección y se convierte en un tribunal. Cuando ya no basta con decir «eso no es para mí», sino que aparece esa necesidad casi compulsiva de explicar por qué tampoco debería ser para nadie más. Y ahí es donde, con los años, he dejado de sentir tanto enfado. Ahora siento, sobre todo, tristeza. Porque cuanto más observo ese comportamiento, menos me parece un gesto de superioridad y más me parece una armadura. De esas pesadas. Incómodas. De las que uno lleva tanto tiempo puestas que acaba olvidando que existen… y que, quizá, podría quitárselas. Qué quieres que te diga… cada vez me cuesta más creer que quien está realmente en paz consigo mismo necesite dedicar tanta energía a vigilar cómo viven los demás. Seguro que en algunos casos es simple arrogancia. Tampoco hace falta buscar un trauma infantil detrás de cada imbécil. Los hay que lo son sin necesidad de una explicación especialmente sofisticada. Pero sospecho que muchas veces hay algo más… Mucho más. Hay duelo. No el duelo por una persona. El duelo por una vida. Por todos esos «sí» que nunca llegaron a pronunciarse. Por aquel amor que nunca se vivió. Por aquella aventura que daba demasiado miedo. Por aquella versión de uno mismo que se quedó encerrada detrás de lo que «tocaba hacer», de lo que «estaba bien» o, simplemente, de lo que se esperaba de uno. Debe de ser muy duro encontrarte con alguien que vive con absoluta naturalidad aquello que tú llevas décadas diciéndote que era indigno. Porque entonces aparece una pregunta terrible. «¿Y si yo también hubiera podido?» Y esa pregunta puede romper una vida entera. Porque es mucho más sencillo romper al otro. Resulta más cómodo llamarlo inmoral, escandaloso, promiscuo, ridículo o indecente que sentarse a llorar todas las oportunidades que uno dejó escapar mientras construía una identidad basada en la renuncia. Quizá por eso me produce una extraña mezcla de rechazo y ternura esa gente que parece patrullar la felicidad ajena. Porque empiezo a pensar que nadie verdaderamente libre dedica tanto tiempo a controlar la libertad de los demás. La gente feliz suele estar demasiado ocupada viviendo. La gente que ha hecho las paces consigo misma rara vez necesita repartir carnés de decencia. Y quien ha aprendido a convivir con sus propios deseos no siente esa urgencia casi religiosa de convencer al resto de que los suyos son los únicos aceptables. No estoy diciendo que toda persona moralista sea alguien reprimido. Sería tan injusto como afirmar que toda persona extrovertida es feliz. Los seres humanos somos infinitamente más complejos que eso. Lo que sí creo es que la superioridad moral es, muchas veces, un escondite extraordinario, porque mientras uno señala con el dedo hacia fuera, nadie mira hacia dentro. Y mirar hacia dentro puede dar TANTÍSIMO miedo… Sobre todo cuando empiezas a sospechar que la persona a la que llevas años juzgando no representa una amenaza para tus valores, sino un recordatorio de la libertad que nunca te permitiste. Desde hace un tiempo intento hacer un ejercicio. No siempre me sale bien, para qué nos vamos a engañar. Cuando me encuentro con alguien instalado en ese pedestal desde el que todo se juzga, intento imaginar qué habrá debajo de tanta rigidez. No para justificarlo, ni para darle la razón, ni mucho menos para aceptar comportamientos que hacen daño a los demás. Simplemente intento preguntarme qué historia habrá detrás de esa coraza. Qué parte de sí mismo aprendió a esconder hace tantos años que ya ni siquiera recuerda dónde la dejó. Y ocurre algo curioso. Cuando consigo hacer ese ejercicio, la rabia pierde fuerza. No desaparece. Hay actitudes que siguen siendo profundamente antipáticas. Pero deja de ocuparlo todo. En su lugar aparece algo mucho más incómodo. La compasión. No esa compasión condescendiente que mira por encima del hombro y dice «pobrecito». Esa tampoco deja de ser otra forma de superioridad. Hablo de una compasión distinta. De la que nace cuando entiendes que todos, absolutamente todos, cargamos con alguna batalla invisible. Algunos aprendieron a esconder la suya detrás del humor. Otros detrás del éxito. Otros detrás del silencio. Y algunos decidieron esconderla detrás de una moral tan rígida que acabó convirtiéndose en una prisión. No sé si alguna vez conseguiremos romper esa cáscara a base de argumentos. Sospecho que no. Las armaduras rara vez caen porque alguien gane una discusión en internet. Pero quizá una conversación sincera, una mirada sin desprecio o el simple hecho de no responder con la misma hostilidad puedan abrir una pequeña grieta. Y, a veces, una grieta es todo lo que necesita una persona para empezar, por fin, a respirar. Al final, creo que la verdadera libertad no consiste sólo en vivir la vida que uno desea. También consiste en mirar a quien ha elegido un camino distinto sin sentir la necesidad de corregirlo, castigarlo o ridiculizarlo. Porque quizá el auténtico triunfo no sea demostrar que uno tenía razón. Quizá sea llegar a ese punto en el que la felicidad ajena deja de parecer una amenaza y empieza, sencillamente, a alegrarte.

Visit our merch store: ⁠⁠ Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! This week we're joined by Becky, a youth services librarian to talk about everything from why a library card actually matters (for you and the library itself) to how kids' reading habits and attention spans have shifted in recent years — a nice follow-up to our literacy crisis episode with Shelby. We also get into the real, nuanced stuff: what happens when a parent challenges a book, the tension between a parent's right to guide their own kid's reading and restricting access for everyone else, and the messy debate over publishers revising older books versus preserving the original text. With Banned Books Week kicking off October 4th, Becky breaks down what it's actually for and what she wants parents, educators, and community members to understand about the role libraries play in kids' lives. As always, we've got the best recs lined up! Laura's deep in Dungeon Crawler Carl, Pam's got a new pair of Anker Soundcore earbuds, and Becky's recommending the Fable app for your next book club meeting. And in this week's installment of After Dark... Is it a faux pas to bring iced coffee to a job interview? We reflect on our own interviewing experiences and honestly find ourselves realizing we think bringing iced coffee to an interview is a weird move. Are we getting old?

Visit our merch store: ⁠⁠ Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! This week we're doing a little housekeeping and a deep dive into our inbox for your feedback! First, we're in the Dumpster Fire Corner fact-checking whether food recalls are actually getting worse (spoiler: sort of, and it's messier than it looks), the US looking to import previously-rejected beef, a legal loophole being used against wild horses, and why the internet is losing it over Beyoncé sampling Selena. Then we spend time sharing listener responses to our recent episodes on the literacy crisis, America's 250th birthday, Looksmaxxing, and more. We're also rounding up notes from past episodes, including perfect attendance flashbacks, brutal middle school grading standards, an Andor love letter that might make you start the show immediately, and a "stooping it" porch culture recommendation that sounds like the best kind of third space. As always, we've got our weekly recs (Laura's got a book pick with Verity by Colleen Hoover, Pam's recommending The Very Definition of Love by Sophia Benoit), and After Dark is waiting for Patrons and Apple Podcast subscribers with a fun continuation of our friendship deep-dive series.

Visit our merch store: ⁠⁠ Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! Hollywood promised us metal shop, mystery lunch ladies who slip you pie on your birthday, and a school-wide obsession with the football team's win-loss record. Real high school delivered... none of that, mostly. This week Pam, Eric, and Laura dig into the gap between movie-and-TV high school and the real thing, from the sports that never mattered outside their own tiny orbit to the theater kids who really were exactly as intense as every teen movie promised. Pam mourns a cafeteria she never had, prom stories get recounted, and we end up plugging how excited we are for the upcoming adaptation of Stephen King's 'Carrie' on Amazon Prime. Recs this week: Laura says don't skimp on the sunscreen, Pam's got a Native dry shampoo powder recommendation, and Eric points you toward the "10 Things I Hate About You" episode of But Make It Scary. Stick around for After Dark, where the high school stories get too juicy for the main feed — think teenage confessions and a very memorable European school trip. Learn more about your ad choices.

Visit our merch store: ⁠⁠ Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! This week we're joined by Shelby, a middle school teacher who's here to tell us exactly how worried we should be about America's literacy crisis — spoiler, it's bad, but also more complicated than "kids these days." We get into what's actually happening in classrooms right now: sixth graders who need to be taught basic sentence structure, reading stamina that's been eroded by screens, and the widening gap between students who are thriving and students who are falling behind. Shelby gets real about what's driving all this — curriculum shifts, tech in the classroom, socioeconomic factors — and shares why she made the call to limit device use in her own classroom this year. If you're a millennial parent who grew up on Hooked on Phonics and whole language, this one's for you, but honestly it matters whether you have kids or not. This week's recommendations: Donate to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library (Pam), 826 National (Shelby), and Overtone (Laura). And in this week's installment of After Dark: Who remembers the olds fear mongering about how we'd never get jobs with our tattoos, piercings, and funny colored hair? Jokes on them! We did find careers (but now we realize how draining they are). Join us for a discussion on the things we thought would impact us more when we were younger.

Visit our merch store: ⁠⁠ Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! This week, we're hitting close to home by exploring the similarities and differences in cell phone usage across generations. Have the Boomers forgotten they used to yell at us for being on our phones too much? Because they are in their phones. We compare the commonality of falling for the algorithm across generations, and explore the ways in which over reliance on mobile devices hinders us. We're also looking at cell phone usage amongst Gen Alpha: at least half of U.S. states have now passed media literacy laws aimed at helping kids spot AI-generated fakes, and several of those states are pairing the requirement with new limits on phone use in schools. This week's recommendations: Laura's got you covered with the FDA's safety alerts tracker so you can keep an eye on the next recall before it hits your kitchen, Eric's deep in a Two Dots addiction, and Pam is recommending 'The Emotion Thesaurus' for anyone who wants to write feelings better than "sad" and "happy."

Again. But for our main discussion, we're bidding adieu to summer with a nostalgic chat about summer travel, childhood vacations, and affordability. New data says a majority of Americans are scaling back this summer, with cost — gas, groceries, hotels, all of it — driving people toward day trips or just staying home altogether. But weirdly, road trips themselves are booming, with Hertz reporting a huge chunk of Americans planning to hit the road this year, many of them chasing America's 250th anniversary with Route 66, Boston, and Freedom Trail itineraries. Recs this week include a case for solo travel, the Travle.earth app and Raddle Quest for your next trip planning obsession, and a gentle nudge to protect your mental health by muting triggering keywords on social media. And in this week's installment of After Dark... Pam digs into some serious lore that has us on the edge of our seats. The tea is piping hot! Learn more about your ad choices.

Visit our merch store: ⁠⁠ Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! Grab your popcorn and your feelings, because this week we're diving headfirst into the YA romance takeover happening on your TV right now. We're joined by Christine Riccio (author of 'Thirty, Flirty, and Forever Alone' and 'Attached at the Hip', host of Those Forking Fangirls podcast) to talk through whether we're actually living in a golden age of YA romance television, or if it just feels that way because Netflix and Amazon can't stop greenlighting shows built for people who grew up on The CW and obsessed over the Twilight saga. We get into what's different about the hype around shows like Off Campus, Heated Rivalry, and The Summer I Turned Pretty, how much of this we can credit to BookTok (and social media more broadly), and whether virality now matters more than a built-in fanbase ever did. Christine also brings her perspective as a published romance author to weigh in on how this boom is rippling into publishing. Plus: why does it seem like contemporary romance is winning while sci-fi and fantasy YA (RIP Vampire Academy and First Kill) can't get a second season? We break down what we think is really going on, and what we'd love to see more of on screen. Recs this week: Laura's got Obsession, Pam's bringing author Elissa Sussman, and Christine is serving up 'Cherry Baby' by Rainbow Rowell.

Visit our merch store: ⁠⁠ Follow the show in your favorite podcast app and leave us a review! This week on Millennial, we're deep in Dumpster Fire Corner territory, and honestly, we can barely keep up. Is Mitch McConnell alive? Is he not? We talk through the whispers, the hypocrisy math, and why nobody inside or outside the beltway is even surprised anymore. Add in a looming primetime Trump address that may or may not relitigate the 2020 Georgia Senate races (again), and you've got a news cycle that feels more like a fever dream than a Tuesday. Then we shift gears to something a little more grounded, but no less infuriating: hobby inflation. Turns out that pottery class or new fishing reel isn't in your head — the cost of having a personality has genuinely gone up. We talk about how TikTok turned hobbies into status symbols, why the pandemic sent everyone sprinting toward socially-distanced pastimes, and how tariffs are somehow now a factor in whether you can afford new lures. We get into what happens when hobbies price out the middle class — the community you lose, the people you no longer get to know, and how this all feels a lot like losing another third space.

The post Chasing AI Rainbows & Fool’s Gold: Real Writers Know How to DIG appeared first on Kristen Lamb. ]]> Humans have always been fascinated with rainbows, yet these days it seems AI rainbows are uniquely alluring. Rainbows lead to that magical pot of gold, right? Even as an adult, I can’t help but see a rainbow and muse over treasure at the end. It is one of those stories that can get so ingrained in a culture, that it almost runs as a subroutine in our brains. Like when your palm itches and you think about money. Or you hesitate and walk around a ladder instead of under it. The way you might flinch when cracking a mirror. Seven years of bad luck. While these might be silly superstitions, we’d be naive to believe we’re immune from their influence…or the childlike hope of easy treasure. We have been down this path before many times with different rainbows: the internet, websites, social media, Facebook fan pages, self-publishing, etc. We’re not immune to the lure of easy treasure…and right now, the shiniest rainbow is labeled “AI”. The “AI Rainbows” Distraction Might as well begin with pointing out the ugly truth. To be really excellent at any skill, one has to suffer. We humans, deep down, don’t respect what took nothing to learn, create, or do. It reminds me of a debate I was having with Spawn (teenage son) about the movie The Matrix. All of us were wowed at the superhuman feats one could “learn” in that movie with just a flash drive plugged into your HEAD. Need to know Kung Fu? Don’t have a couple decades to haul water up the stairs to some monastery while the master hits you with sticks? No problem. Let’s just give this a download…. I extended the logic with Spawn, though. While this idea of “instant skill” might be novel and exciting initially, what it steals is far more insidious. What if tomorrow, I could download how to play masterful piano? Who really would want to listen to me play? Or come to a concert? Buy my music? Seems to me they’d all be busy pushing their own new and shiny skills in similar fashion. For a while. Then it would all feel hollow, empty, cheap, and a lot like…cheating. How long would I stick to playing piano? What takes nothing to “master” also takes nothing to “dismiss.” How quickly would I grow bored with my new and “perfect” piano skills? ***The same skills everyone else with that “piano mastery brain download” have, too. It took me years of reading, writing, learning, practicing, sacrificing and showing up day after day even when I didn’t feel like it to hone my skills. Yes, AI can outline faster, organize faster, can even WRITE FOR ME! But why would I do that? Unused muscles either never develop or, if developed, will atrophy from disuse. The AI rainbow is alluring but so were the sirens’ songs, and where, exactly was that song leading those sailors? AI Rainbows & Fool’s Gold Fallacy I have personally witnessed a MASSIVE shift in the quality of writing in the past ten years. With all the digital tools rainbows we have, the easy access to research, spell check, and grammar check, one should expect overall quality to improve. Yet, we are seeing the opposite. Unwatchable movies, unreadable books, soulless art, music without that human spark. Do we need to mention the McDonald’s Christmas commercial that used ONLY AI? Yes, yes we do. I’ll admit the Digital Age has been to blame for feeding this monster, especially once social media became such a cornerstone for relevance and market advantage. The relentless demand for more content, fresh content, relevant content to “captivate” audiences has chained many creatives to Hell’s Treadmill. Companies are falling for this as well, which is why they’re leaning far too heavily on AI. AI can be controlled, monitored and writers become interchangeable pieces on a Monopoly board. Easy to plug in, duplicate and keep on a leash. Same for all creatives. Writers are picky, actors are divas, and artists are moody. Most inconveniently? They expect to actually be PAID for what they do. *clutching pearls* Thus, in another staggering move to “increase profits” and “save money” companies are increasingly outsourcing to AI generated content. Content that is supposed to be bold, edgy, creative, compelling…and just happens to look, sound and feel just as “unique” as all the other “unique” content. When everyone is special, then no one is, which was the point we explored in the last post, Counterfeit Creativity: The High Cost of Cheap Art. Writers Who Know How to MINE Mining is a mixture of skill, courage, tenacity, wisdom, and flat out insanity. It is a lot of tedium, toil, work, and thankless pain. Writing, like mining for anything, requires patience, endurance, innovation, and passion. But, last I checked, those weren’t for SALE. Yet, what do we know about all “gold rushes”? Who gets rich? The ones wielding shovels or those selling shovels? Prospectors rarely struck it rich. Winners sold to the miners. BIG WINNERS (snakes) sold to those who liked the idea of being rich more than the work involved. Whether it was reselling spent plots, phony maps, or sure-fire tricks to STRIKE IT RICH, it didn’t matter. There was always a naive/gullible market ready to throw their own gold down to skip the hard parts…and a snake to take their money. It’s human nature. Fast-forward to today, and AI companies, prompt gurus, “millionaire author” courses, content mills, “authentic human author” certifications. They’re the shovel-sellers. They profit off the rush without digging themselves. But here’s where the metaphor flips in our favor. In every gold rush, a few stubborn diggers hit pay dirt. Over time, tests and failures, they eventually became experts at terrain and geology. Skilled prospectors learned invaluable tells that could lead to larger, richer strikes. They learned to spot “tells” (signs in the geology/terrain like quartz veins, color changes in soil, or river bends that trap gold). Writers—masterful writers—do something similar. We notice the patterns, the trauma, the unevenness and how that all guides the way to the REAL story. In my opinion, AI’s fixation on “perfect” is one of the biggest flaws in the system. Humans are messy, ugly, irrational, emotional, unpredictable and illogical, which—ironically—are all the ingredients of AMAZING WRITING! AI is the CZ of our time. Flawless! Perfect! But still just a fancy piece of glass. All Writers Should Be Wary of AI Rainbows We have seen this play out time and time again. Whenever we invent a tool to make something better, faster, cheaper, easier, there is always, always a cost. We have film students in COLLEGE who cannot sit through a full-length movie, writers who never read, and Amazon and the internet is drowning us in AI slop. Why? Again, humans will always choose novelty and the path of least resistance (at least for a while). Did spellcheck make a generation of better spellers? Nope. It masked errors so well that many never internalized rules—kids lean on it, brains skip the muscle-building, and we end up with adults who can’t spell. Did grammar check transform us all into a society that understood the complexities of sentence structure and subject-verb agreement? Hardly. It fixes surface stuff on the fly, but deep grammar knowledge? The knowledge that allows a writer to wield grammar as another tool is something only a LOT of reading, studying and practice can train. POV is an incredible tool. Why choose first-person, or third or even second? What emotional effect are we going for? In Caroline Kepnes’ You, she selected second-person POV which is almost never used…ever. Yet, when placed in a story told from the stalker’s perspective? Chilling. T. Jefferson Parker broke with tradition and told the antagonist’s POV through first-person and Charlie Hood’s (the investigator) in third. Why? Because Jeff wanted the reader to bond emotionally with the antagonist to demonstrate the emotional complexity of the topic. There is no clean black and white and good and bad. Just messy, flawed humans doing the best the can when the deck is stacked against them. That’s the magic AI can’t replicate. It can spit out “correct” prose, but it can’t feel the weight of those choices. It can’t draw from lived chaos to make a story resonate. The cost of chasing “perfect” shortcuts? We lose the very mess that makes writing human—and worth reading. Keep Those Mining Skills Sharp Tools in and of themselves can only do so much. Slight tangent but makes my point. I used to LOVE watching home improvement shows that demonstrated ways to decorate for super cheap. Initially, I was mesmerized. They did ALL THAT for under $1000! Then I realized it was a thousand dollars in supplies. That money didn’t cover the saws, drills, guns, welds OR the SKILL to use any of those. When one hires a contractor, we aren’t hiring the table saw, rather the artisan who can use that saw masterfully. I mean I can use a table saw. Can watch a video. Most have guards that will mostly keep my fingers in tact…but I have zero skills. I am far more likely to make a mess massacre than a masterpiece. Same in writing. While AI rainbows are pretty, what they lead to? Not all that glitters is gold. Right now? I feel we are living this meme from Fight Club. Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy. Remember, earlier I stated that humans initially love novelty and convenience? That love wears thin super quick and the shine is already dimming. There are no shortcuts and we’d all be wise to just leave the AI rainbows where they belong…on Lisa Frank Trapper Keepers. What are YOUR Thoughts on AI Rainbows? I know today is St. Patrick’s and we all want a bit of luck, but luck alone has never been enough without the skills to take advantage of opportunity. How do you feel about what AI is doing to us skill-wise? Are new writers failing to mature and dig deeper because of the quick thrill of “perfectly packaged prose”? If they are “training” on recycled content, how valuable is the training? Are the younger generations of content creators driven by a desire to create meaningful art and expression or the need for a quick dopamine fix? Is AI unwittingly eroding the very character traits necessary for great artists (Eg. tenacity)? For writers who have been here more than a minute, are you concerned that your skills will erode? Do you find yourself constantly second-guessing skills you’ve used for years? Or does that compel you to train even harder to stand apart from the crowd? For a profession that seems to UNIQUELY SUFFER from Imposter Syndrome, do you think AI only makes this feeling worse? It was bad when everyone assumed every published author was self-published, but at least they didn’t think a ROBOT wrote it. How does this make you feel? The shift of bad writing must be human and good writing must be AI. I’d like your thoughts!

As AI floods the world with content, the real question isn’t what machines can create—but whether we’ll still recognize real art when we see it. The post Counterfeit Creativity: The High Cost of Cheap Art appeared first on Kristen Lamb. ]]> Counterfeit creativity is robbing our species blind. We are sacrificing our souls on the altar of cheap, fast, free and easy, but at what price? For most of human history, creativity had a cost. A painting required years of training, mistakes, dedication, practice, and courage. Music required months and years of pain, blisters, practice, rehearsal, performance, and courage. A novel required years of reading, learning, grammar, structure, practice, failure, perseverance and courage. Even mediocre art took effort. AI changes the creative math. Now anyone with an internet connection can generate: a novel outline a painting a marketing campaign a song …in seconds. Which all raises an interesting question. If something looks creative but required no creative effort, what exactly are we looking at? Not fraud. Not plagiarism (exactly). Something new. I’d like to introduce what I call counterfeit creativity. Counterfeit Creativity Counterfeit money looks real enough to circulate, and counterfeit creativity works the same way. It mimics the appearance of creative work. It seems to have structure, style, aesthetic cues and emotional beats, but the underlying process is fundamentally different. Authentic creativity comes from struggle, lived experience, experimentation, and failure. Counterfeit creativity is generated through statistical pattern reconstruction. It produces something that looks like creativity without the creative journey behind it. For now, it seems there are plenty of people left who can sense the AI Uncanny Valley, but that window is closing, and closing FAST. Many people can’t immediately tell the difference because humans, historically, have judged creativity by output not process. Thus, if something reads like a novel, looks like a painting, or sounds like music our brains classify it as “creative.” But that assumption was originally wired in a world where output and effort were inseparable. AI just broke that link. The “Crapification” of Everything I would love to say this problem happened just with the advent of AI, but end stage capitalism is merely the sterile syringe that delivered the literary lidocaine inuring us to what CRAP looks and sounds like. We are going to zoom in on the writing world, since that’s the water we swim in. Metacognition isn’t being poisoned by AI. It’s something more primal—dating back to the late 1900s: the fear of being labeled a “f*&king poser.” It’s the harshest epitaph imaginable because it’s a crime of social consequence.Except it’s another relic of capitalism. Writing used to be a creative art—and while capitalism in the form of “best seller lists,” readership metrics, and critical acclaim impacted writing, they served to gatekeep writing as a profession to those who were competent writers. It wasn’t until recently that we “democratized writing” which is a fancy way of saying we made it accessible to everyone, where it went off the rails.Brian Eisold Early on, when I began this blog, I exclusively geared my content toward authors who wanted to traditionally publish. It wasn’t because I believed the Big Six were that special, but I appreciated WHY we might need a world with gatekeepers. Additionally, though I could see the many benefits that could come with self-publishing and indie publishing, I saw the inherent dangers. How it would let out a genie we’d never get back in the bottle. The democratization of publishing happened on other fronts as well, though. Remember Huffington Post? Arianna Huffington IMO single-handedly obliterated the print medium and all the writing jobs that once went with it. The exposure dollar economy was the warning shots. Show up, write your best for us and you can tell the world we pay you great money let you post on OUR site where we make millions using an unpaid workforce. Tell a bunch of writers this will lead to bigger things, they post their BEST and promote it on all their social networks…and with every click we make ad money. LOADS OF IT. Pay the Writer I know when I drop terms like late or end stage capitalism, I risk the eye rolls, but hear me out. Creatives have always sought to be paid for their work. Yes, it might be au gauche or tawdry, but we don’t care. We spend years mastering something that others derive joy and value from? We should be compensated just like everyone else. That and we like to eat and the power company doesn’t accept poetry as payment. In earlier times, creatives had wealthy sponsors. Later, the markets aligned to give ways creative people could be paid/rewarded meaningfully for our hard work and years dedicated to honing a skill. Newspapers, periodicals, dime novels, copy, marketing, ads were all ways creative professionals could make a living while producing the next great work of art the world enjoyed. Read Stephen King’s On Writing, Steven Pressfield’s War of Art, Robert McKee’s Dialogue and they all share stories of the paid “crappy” gigs these masters took on while working on the “real art.” Late-stage capitalism describes the point where market incentives inevitably drive everything toward cheaper, faster, and more scalable versions of itself, even when that process strips away the craftsmanship and meaning that once made the product valuable. Systems no longer optimize for creating value, but for producing the appearance of value as cheaply and quickly as possible. Pay the writer became…use the writer. Or the musician, songwriter, painter, illustrator, animator, etc. Tell them they are special, pay them in attention, then up the operational tempo to such a high level that literally no human artist could keep pace (relevant). Meanwhile use all the real art that creatives built to train the synthetic version that you’ll SELL them later when they are so desperate to remain in the loop they’ll audition for their own extinction. The Art is Fake but the Rot is REAL The real danger isn’t that AI can generate content, it is that AI is flooding the world with creative-looking artifacts detached from human meaning. Imagine a future filled with books no human truly wrote, art no human felt, songs no human performed. You know what? Since we are already here, why do we even bother with museums? Expensive to store, insure, restore, preserve. We could just 3-D print some replicas. I mean is anyone REALLY going to be able to TELL if that’s the ACTUAL Mona Lisa? Y’all can breathe now. I am being sarcastic. But, hopefully I made my point. My largest concern with AI “art” hasn’t just been the creative professionals it displaces, but what it’s doing to humanity as a whole. Never underestimate the unique human capacity to get used to some seriously LOW standards. I learned that lesson my first “hamburger day” in a public school lunchroom. Every kid was excited for a slightly greenish hamburger facsimile (some even bought TWO), while I was clutching my foodie pearls. How could they be excited to eat THAT? Then I was there long enough to sample what the “normal” food was like and it made more sense. My biggest concern about AI art has always been the impact on the audiences. Even now. We no longer go to the movies. Most are unwatchable. If we DO go to a movie, you know what is a WIN? It was…watchable. I used to think the creators of Idiocracy were onto something. Now? I think they might have had a crystal ball, and they also woefully underestimated just how dumb we humans can be. The #1 movie in America was called “Ass.” And that’s all it was for 90 minutes. It won eight Oscars that year, including best screenplay. Narrator of Idiocracy We aren’t going to need to travel thousands of years in the future to grasp that we are hurtling toward a world where all the top shows are some poor dude getting hit in the ‘nads in clever ways (yes, that is a real thing from Idiocracy). Dealing with Counterfeits Since the point of my posts are to educate and empower you, what is the answer? The United States Secret Service oversees most of our money/financial crimes. They also go after counterfeiters. Do you think they train years and years on every fake out there and what to look for? Nope. They spend years and years understanding AMERICAN CURRENCY. How do the bills feel? They learn how to tell a real c-note with their eyes closed. Because they know the real thing so intimately, they don’t need to concern themselves with the fakes. The fakes practically pop out. There is a good reason the best writers are also avid readers. Read the excellent works, train, practice, fail, get up, do better and hone those skills. Write excellent stories. I know we are all under a lot of pressure to be content mills that feed the public’s (supposedly) ravenous appetite. But why are they so famished? Years and years of increasingly empty creative calories and artificial art. Not only is it unsatisfying, but it warps the palate. Take a person used to drinking cheap sodas and eating junk food then try to give them good food. They won’t like it at first because it will taste strange. Layers of artificial ingredients are masking that what’s being served is inedible, empty and possibly toxic and yet people binge on the stuff. Same with counterfeit creativity. We have a narrow window where there are enough people around to remember what art used to feel like. With all the AI slop in circulation, get to work. Superlative art will rise. Audiences will find it and stick like glue because it resonates with their souls. Counterfeits are always costly. Counterfeit money can implode a country just as sure as fake art can bankrupt a culture. This is why it is critical now, more than ever, to cherish real art before we drift into a world that can no longer even recognize it. If we do get to a point that no one can tell between Monopoly money from the real thing, only then will we be out of a job. Until then, we are still in the game. But I warn y’all… tempus fugit. We don’t have forever. What are YOUR thoughts on Counterfeit Creativity? Other than it goes with counterfeit cleverness? Personally, I am exhausted with all the AI slop. AI cannot create art. Period. It is a tool. The paintbrush doesn’t make the art, the artist does. The keyboard doesn’t make the story, the writer does. And, for me? There is a certain je ne sais quoi missing from AI “creations.” That said, do you think we could hit a time that humans won’t really recognize art? Or is it too deeply wired in us? If everything “looks real”, who will remember how to tell the difference? Do you think that removing the human from art could eventually remove humanity from the human? I know we writers love these existential arguments, but I think this is a good one. If all the art is shallow, derivative and superficial, wouldn’t we eventually see a culture that is shallow, derivative and superfi—– Houston, we have a problem… The post Counterfeit Creativity: The High Cost of Cheap Art appeared first on Kristen Lamb. ]]> 2026/03/counterfeit-creativity-the-high-cost-of-cheap-art/feed/ 14 32291 Why Americans Measure in Football Fields & Likely Always Will 2026/03/why-americans-measure-in-football-fields-likely-always-will/ 2026/03/why-americans-measure-in-football-fields-likely-always-will/#comments Fri, 06 Mar 2026 18:54:06 +0000 ?p=32264 Americans will measure distance in anything except the metric system—school buses, blue whales, and of course football fields. But that odd habit might reveal something deeper about how human brains actually understand scale. The post Why Americans Measure in Football Fields & Likely Always Will appeared first on Kristen Lamb. ]]> I made a joke the other day about measuring the distance to Mars in football fields. Why? Because it is so quintessentially American. We will literally measure in anything BUT metric: school buses, dump trucks, blue whales, and the ever-classic…football fields. It started innocently enough. I saw this article…which CRACKED ME UP: This “article” made me laugh so hard I joked that, “I live for the day we measure light years with a ‘football field’ conversion so we Americans can grasp the sheer enormity of open space.” Then I did it for fun, because I am a nerd. *obviously feel free to skim* Roll with me: The average distance to Mars is about 2,050,000,000 football fields. Now we need something like: (football field)^x 1^x football fields a^b ~ 2.05 × 10? 2³¹ ~ 2,147,483,648 So we could say: The distance to Mars is roughly 2³¹ football fields. That means: If you doubled a football field 31 times, you’d reach roughly the distance between Earth and Mars. We can do an entire American conversion chart for distance to Mars: ~ 2.05 billion football fields ~ 1.9 billion Walmart parking spaces ~ 320 million school buses ~ 8 billion bald eagles standing beak-to-tail Laughs aside though, why do we Americans struggle SO MUCH with the metric system (other than sheer stubbornness, which is a totally valid argument)? First of all, in the States we grow up in school, life and work constantly using a version of the old Imperial System. Most of us measure in miles per hour and feet and inches and pounds all the time. To us, metric might scale, and might be simple, but it definitely remains abstract. Which brings me to my point. What IS measurement really? A story. Measurement as Narrative Fans of the metric system claim it is logical, powers by ten, is used by the whole world! All of this is true but, IMO, the problem isn’t math, it’s human brains. We have a proclivity to attach any form of measurement to something we can imagine. Let me illustrate. End of the World Movie Picture it. We are in the White House. Terrified analysts and scientists gather around a bank of computers, faces dour. President Tom Cruise paces thoughtfully back and forth while the experts talk. Scientist: Mr. President! President: Yes? How bad is it? Scientist: Bad, REALLY BAD. President: *heavy sigh* Just HOW bad? Scientist: An asteroid approximately fifteen kilometers in diameter is approaching Earth at twenty-four kilometers per second! President: Um…what? Scientist: The impact will be approximately 3.1 X 10^17 joules, sir! President: O_0 Scientist: Sir? Sir! An asteroid the SIZE of MANHATTAN is hurtling our way and will hit with the force of 300 million megatons of TNT! President: Why didn’t you just lead with that? See, when scientists say an asteroid is 15 kilometers in diameter that is math. When scientists say it is the size of Manhattan, that is a story. While metric measurement is brilliant for calculation, Imperial might be better for imagination. Measure Stubbornness Story I have been pondering this thought for a while. Started when someone on LinkedIn was griping how silly it was that Americans refuse to use metric. Someone answered in a way that made sense for the first time. He said it wasn’t we refused, but that one didn’t have to understand the Imperial system because Imperial made intuitive sense. Zero degrees evokes “seriously cold” just as 115 degrees “feels” really frigging HOT. No one needs to teach math or systems of ten or scaling to intuit the measure. The Imperial System makes sense because I have carried a GALLON. I know a foot is the “length” of a human foot and a yard is the distance of a “typical” stride. I can picture that, feel it, sense it, envision it. And Americans aren’t solely guilty. Journalists globally measure descriptively to anchor abstract measurements in things people can already understand. They might describe something in terms of “double-decker buses” or “lorries” or “Olympic swimming pools” for easy frame of reference. Why? Because humans are wired for story. Even a preschooler (or an American) can grasp the concept of something that’s the size of three full-grown elephants. Weighed, Measured & Found Wanting So what is the point of this post? Other than I unwittingly “discovered” something cool I wanted to share? Nope. Pretty much that. Light cognitive load today. You’re welcome. Suffice to say that I have spent years trying to explain that we Americans just don’t USE metric all the time. Back when I was in university and a Neuroscience Major, I took a lot of Chemistry, Biology, etc. Since I was in a lab two hours a day, I used liters and grams and meters to the point I instinctively understood the measure in a practical way. Decades away from having to use that system daily? Meh, work is about a $26 Uber ride away. Looking to relocate to the office that is $6 Uber away (Uber being the measurement of length that ALSO factors in pain, inconvenience, and just how willing you are to risk your life). This is the New, New Imperial Standard, btw What are YOUR thoughts? How do you measure? Admittedly I posted my football fields to Mars on Linked in and the comments were HYSTERICAL. Orbits measured in Cheerio boxes, swallows (African or European?), parrots, kiddie pools because WHY does Olympic get all the glory, literally? What are some of the funniest measurements you have seen? I hope you see the American plot to undermine metric really is NOT as nefarious as has been reported. I am shopping a lot more at Aldi, so totally working those metric muscles.

Ideally later. The post Why Choice—Not Talent—Drives Great Stories appeared first on Kristen Lamb. ]]> Choice is a word we bandy about a lot in modern times, especially in catchy little “thought-leader” quotes on social media. Over the weekend, someone posted this little nugget of wisdom: Some uncomfortable math: Your bank account is a record of your decisions Your body is a record of your habits Your relationships are a record of your priorities None of this is luck. All of this is compounding. Social Media Know-It-All I Shan’t Name IMO, this post isn’t about “uncomfortable math,” it’s moral laundering. Decisions don’t exist in a vacuum. Systems, illness, caretaking, instability and plain bad frigging luck all shape the ledger. This is true in life, but even more true in fiction. See, the weird thing about choice, is it is an inherently human conundrum. Unlike animals guided solely by instinct, we humans possess the concept of a “self.” We have an ego or id or whatever it is that makes us apex drama queens. It is that conscious self that permits self-reflection, which I am a huge fan of…so long as we at least flirt with a little bit of reality. Life is not binary or clearly marked with signage. I get why folks post these passive-aggressive snipes labeled “life lessons.” With a surface read, they feel true. It’s easy to get folks clapping like seals, heads bobbing as if they’ve ever faced a binary world in their lives. Life is virtually never a choice between one terrible, stupid, reckless option versus the sane, level-headed, adult one. I’d even venture to say that 99% of life is choosing the least crappy decision out of a list of horrible options while gambling the fallout is something we can handle. Ideally later. If LIFE is life like this, and fiction is really LIFE in distillate, what kind of choice are you offering your characters? NO Choice If you want to know how professional writers turn out a book or two or ten a year? Whether they’re a plotter, pantser or something in between, they understand story structure. Deeply. If we pan back and look at what great storytelling is, it is all about choice. And our characters must have agency. Pretty words alone are not enough. No reader is solely there for our decision to use “cerulean” instead of “blue”. They want a story with stakes. Big ones. If our characters keep going from thing to thing and place to place out of no volition of their own? They’re not a character. They’re flotsam. Maybe jetsam. Depends on whether we threw our character overboard or churned them up from the sea bed. What choice did your character make to get where they are? Choices are Rarely Obvious or Simple If this is true in life, then why the hell are we holding the reader’s hands and taking away the very reason they want to read fiction? First, let’s pause a brief minute and ponder a half a minute as to why anyone, in a world with TikTok and Netflix, would want to read your book? Or mine? Reading is hard, brain intensive and requires focused concentration. So why are people reading? For the same reason we hop on roller coasters. We want a safe place for catharsis. To teeter at the edge of the abyss…while strapped in safely in a seat that’s passed nine hundred separate inspections. Yet, don’t we also forget that while we are on the ride believing we’ll surely DIE? Our audience already understands how life works because—DUH—they’re living one. They also smell bull sprinkles from a mile away. Sure, maybe there are some genres where there is a bit more coddling. I’m not going to pretend that The Baby-Sitters Club has anything remotely in common with Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian as far as genre and tone. But what do they both actually share? CHOICES. Sticky ones. If I can give y’all any writing advice at all, it’s this. Learn to be hard on your characters. Then get harder and meaner. Hurl everything they believe they love through the metaphorical wood chipper, or (like Fargo) an actual one. Choice should never be binary, A or B? It needs to be A, B, C left town, D is shacking up with Q, and S wants child support for X, Y & Z. Life and Fiction is About Sticky Compromise How many times in life do we get a break? Really? As in real, breathing people? Life is just one decision after another and that has only gotten exponentially worse in the Information Age. We actually now have a word for the crappy way we feel at the end of the day, when we will happily eat cereal for dinner because we’re cooked (well done, of course). Decision fatigue. Do you think people get decision fatigue because life is a pretty path of petals? Send the email now or wait and hope for better options? Fix the AC or get a new washer and dryer? Tell your partner you love them but also if they don’t stop snoring you might have to find an awesome expensive defense attorney? Nothing easy. Ever. And that is life, not fiction. In stories the problems are grand, stakes are massive, failure is not an option. In life, problems are grand, stakes are massive, and we experience actual failure all the frigging time. We don’
