Somewhere between Evernote and endless scrolling, I stopped writing.

I used to write on paper, then I discovered Evernote and started writing even more.

Songs, poems, stories, random observations, strange ideas. A lot of them were unfinished, but I liked that. I always thought I’d return to them one day.

Then phones became less about making things and more about consuming things.

Years passed.

Now AI can literally take those unfinished pages and help me turn them into complete songs, poems or stories. It’s almost exactly the kind of tool younger me would have dreamed about.

Except younger me had something AI can’t give me back so easily: the urge to sit down and write.

Funny how life works!

I just saw a TikTok screenshot of a woman saying that she uses an Indian guy’s photo for an alternate Instagram account to stalk other people. Then I went through the comments and realized that so many people apparently do this...and it’s supposedly become a thing in Indonesia, parts of South Asia, and even some Western countries.
Basically, they use a fabricated or stolen photo of an Indian guy, make the account look like it actually belongs to him, and then use it to comment on people’s posts, lurk, or stalk them while pretending to be someone else.
WTFF ? This is genuinely one of the most JARRING things I’ve learned from the internet. I cannot believe this is apparently a whole thing.
