Creating is resistance.

While many of us can read this and know that it's just a computer regurgitating what it learned, someone with a serious mental illness is vulnerable to the suggestions noted in this article. IMO, AI should be heavily regulated. Although, this part sounds like a very cathartic exercise 🙃

Me: I have no niche or specialty. I'm a mom. I write poetry and short stories. I'm far left and often get on my soapbox for a good rant. I have anxiety. I love to learn and deep dive. I make collage. I'm silly. I take too many pictures of things that bring me joy. I love music. GenX. Ally 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ { Hi }

Your mission for the next 4 years and beyond ( #digitalart creation made in #procreate by me) #standup #resist

2024 books read. I had hoped to squeeze in a few more over winter break, but life has been too chaotic.

Due to a localized reaction to a vaccine as a baby, I went my entire life believing I couldn't get vaxxed. I always felt anxious about potentially not being able to get a tetanus shot if I needed one. My first vaccine was the Covid vaccine and everything was fine. Last year I got a flu shot. (1/3)

Happy, happy birthday!! I actually have books scattered all over the house that I'll read someday (maybe), but here's my priority pile. (Lighting is terrible. Sorry!)

I wrote a poem about this years ago after hearing two poet friends discussing the "proper" place for line breaks. I usually go by feel, where they seem like they should go. But I also do what you do and try to add a little surprise or double meaning sometimes. This is the poem:

Anticipatory joy in a fucked up world #mcr #mychemicalromance #blackparade

Something else I found while going through old stuff. Appropriate for this time of year. #haiku

While I slept, November slipped through the thin veil of Samhain, arriving as a cold, soaking beam of sun. The wind a breath of woodsmoke from the past, a feeling in my limbs of autumn come at last. #poetry #november #autumn

It was a beautiful fall day to stand in line for early voting with my daughter who was voting in her first presidential election!

This mama is for Kamala

post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn’t nirvana or pearl jam or soundgarden or Alice In Chains

Happy Caturday! May your day make you as happy as a cat in a sunny window.

What color does October feel like?

Man gets rich on other people's creativity, steals said creativity to fuel ai, then says the creativity is actually worthless to avoid compensating the people who made him rich in the first place.

Autumn 🍂

This from her most recent newsletter is heart wrenching and inexcusable governing.

In my defense, this is about the 3rd time I joined Bluesky. I left to try Threads and Mastadon, but this is truly where the interesting people are! Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #6,119,783!
