 speaking from the perspective of a witch, the land does not care what lines we
 draw in the sand. Lines are a human thing.

 @user-95 did you get the instructions? Mine came in a dream, which sucks
 because I only remember two or three of the rules. I think there were nine
 total, and now I'm afraid to practice my non-programming spelling because I
 don't want to violate causality or redefine temporality or something like
 that. I guess now is as good an hour as any... Dear other witches, hear my
 prayer, I'm kinda lonely and I only know a few spells, but I think that's good
 enough for now.
 
 Do you know any spells, prospective witch?

 had a dream that we gamified all work and then put them into one single
 mega-game so whenever you wanted you could work on an arbitrary project and it
 would spin up a new game and take your inputs and use them to accomplish
 whatever was happening

 Hello, I am a witch and this is my altar.
 
 Here, I dream of a green USA.
 
 covered by the branches,
 my body decays into parts,
 ready to join the next life that needs me.
 
 [read the alt-text on the pictures, or listen to your screenreader for more
 explanation]
a round planter pot with a dead plant growing out of it. At it's feet there are sticks I found outside that are covered in moss - the moss is dehydrated, and so brown and dusty. Sticking out of the pot is a flag of my homeland, and behind it there is a fog covered windowpane. In addition, my cat watches from behind, asking me to open the door for her so she can go out on the porch and freeze for a bit before begging to be let back in. She just wanted to see the cold, I suspect. close up picture of the thirsty moss. There is a small glass jar partly filled with water - I add a bit more whenever I pray, from my water bottle. As it evaporates from the jar, it makes the world just a bit more humid, and better for moss to grow in.  there are leaves and detritus in the planter pot as well, to simulate a forest floor covered in soil. I've sprayed the moss with water, and it awakens and spreads it's arms in exultation. The light from the window behind it gives power to it's ever-beckoning grasp, as it sucks carbon from the atmosphere to build itself as a structure that fights back against disorder. Consuming naught but light, water, and air, it grows forever without a care, and tomorrow our world is more beautiful.

 this is why AI is evil, as explained to a witch.
picture of an ai conversation:  "let's move on to a different topic, this time I think we should describe the poem's contents self-referentially as a 3rd person narrative, with the perspective being the subject and her thoughts. I'd like to use the analyze.lua function for more than simply extracting keywords, I'd also like to use it for transformation as well. can we make a new directory inside of the /theme-analysis/ directory that will store the narratives? it should be combined into a book with milky white pages and brighter-than-blood red. Nearly pink, but a bit more orange. It should utilize generative art to make the pages feel as if they are *oozing* in sharp stalagmite and stalagtite pictures. Could probably generate with mathematical functions and a bit of fuzzing (statistically) to create straight lines. Very sharp, though, like lines being carved in butter or blood or stone. It should feel painful to read. It should be a cursed artifact. each of these narratives can be stored in the /theme-analysis/narratives/ directory, and the narrative.lua script can be called from /theme-analysis/analyze.lua. This narrative script will indeed call into analyze as well, essentially as a reciprocal dependency. Instead of analyzing for word-cloud purposes, as /theme-analysis/analyze.lua is currently doing, it would have it's own slightly tailored processes for extracting a narrative from a series of short, segmented and semipseudo disconnected series of poems.  [the ai says yes]

 my worst impulse is to sit around and do nothing when there could be weed that
 I was smoking
 
 gotta be ready in-case things go south... I'm a witch, after all. who better
 to call to the spirits drawn to conflict and strife, bothing them and saying
 "hey, pay attention to me and my life?"
 
 it's not like time is wasted for them. they are an orientation, not a
 lifeform. time is no consequence when they can be anywhere at once.
