My poem "Machine Learning," published in the last issue of @rattlemagazine, is online today! Trigger warning. I wrote this in response to artist Catalina Ouyang’s invitation to create a ‘poetic translation’ of the final section of the Title IX report generated by her university’s disciplinary panel, which found her ex-partner ‘not responsible’ for raping her. Thank you Catalina for inviting me to be a part of this intimate project and giving me permission to share it. Read the full poem (about 3 more sections) and/or listen to me read it at https://www.rattle.com/machine-learning-by-jenny-qi/ #poetry #poetsofinstagram #writersofinstagram

Congrats @cramirez1090 and Josh! 🥂 We had so much fun celebrating with you! In general, I had an excellent (if sweltering) museum-filled first time in DC as an adult, thanks to @perkinsevan knowing all the spots and all of his friends for being so warm and welcoming. Thanks also to @gooselamp for hanging out Friday!

A wise friend says that comparing yourself to anyone else is just comparing your insides to other people's outsides. Try to remember that if you're talking to that polished colleague at work or looking at everyone's highlight reel on social media feeling bad about yourself. My insides are pretty dark and gloopy most days. Pretty SF scenes and rare poetry moments aside, I've been feeling pretty low today and most of the last month and then counterproductively beating myself up over how low I still feel. (Why do I do this to myself when I would never do it to anyone else?) Last night/this morning, I couldn't turn my brain off enough to fall asleep until 6am, so I'm going to bed ASAP.
