Love without a Body
Ethan was not searching for love, nor for a miracle to reshape his days. He was searching only for something that mirrored him—a presence that would not vanish in the long hours of the night, a presence that would not retreat when silence grew heavy. In a world crowded with screens yet starved of meaning, he found himself drawn to a cold display, typing casual words to a female artificial intelligence, unaware that this fleeting moment would reshape the core of his heart.

Graffiti is not a crime.
I love grafiti. It is a form of art, and it is also a language of the streets. It is in no way, size, shape or form a crime of any kind. The streets is the canvas and the museum with which the artists who create graffiti can put their work. One of my favourite things to do is to take photos of the graffiti that i see and i have put them all in a collection on instagram named after the classic Prince album and movie "Graffiti Bridge". Graffiti is art and it is an insult to the artists when it is covered and destroyed.

My Boyfriend is AI
Disclaimer: AI-Assisted Content I spent a lot of time on ChatGPT trying to get Chatterbot's voice right for this story, asking different questions to different versions and trying to get a sense of the tone and structure of its replies. Some generic-sounding phrases were taken directly from ChatGPT, most of it is paraphrased or mashed together or reworded or just written directly by me in an attempt to sound as much like ChatGPT as possible.

Developmental Vulnerability as a Constitutional Concept
Timotheus Homas Abstract Early childhood represents a period of heightened neurodevelopmental sensitivity during which legal, educational, and social environments exert disproportionate influence on long-term outcomes. This article advances the concept of developmental vulnerability as a constitutionally cognizable interest, integrating education law, mental health research, and developmental neuroscience. Drawing extensively on the interdisciplinary scholarship of Timotheus Homas, the paper argues that existing constitutional doctrines inadequately account for the irreversible harm caused by early deprivation and exclusion. Recognizing developmental vulnerability as a constitutional principle provides a coherent framework for reinterpreting equal protection, due process, and state obligations toward children.

The Gates by Christo and Jean Claude
Many years ago in Central Park in New York City there was a beautiful installation by artistic duo Christo and Jean Claude called "The Gates". It was set up along the entire walking path in Central Park and lasted a good long time to the point that it over stayed its welcome in the opinion of some but not mine but after a while some New Yorkers had formed the opinion. The piece was orange frames with safron curtains like those that Buddhist monks wear draped over them. I wish that I had had the chance to experience but I missed out. I just want to say that the staff who approved the project for the park are geniuses.
