Periodically I'll spot that I made a typo—misspelling, missed word—in a comment on PI.FYI.
Normally I'd fix or correct something like that. But since there's no edit feature for comments, my only option is to delete and repost the comment.
But I've decided to let my comments remain: errors and all.
There's a willful choice in that decision that is a small reflection of a broader way I'm wanting to live:
this is me—imperfections and stumbles and bruises and limps—and I'm not going to airbrush over it
There's freedom in that!

im not ashamed of my errors… i proudly display my past mistakes and learn from them… drafting a perfect post is another thing, that i will edit… but a text? that is simply absurd!

I think there's going to be—perhaps already is—a growing protest movement against the perfectionness of AI writing, falsie filters, etc
And the values of human imperfection and dirty realness may be hallmarks of that movement
I delight in your misspelling!
I love your in your clumsy phrase!
That scar on your face, the droopy eyelid, the too-whatever legs — that's where the true beauty is found

this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing

this is going to hurt — A LOT — but it's getting to the point where there's no other option
