If you ever feel that your voice doesn't matter, just remember that there's a always chance one or more people are reading your posts and interpreting them as secret coded messages to them.

How gloriously ridiculous. This has done nothing to diminish my belief this is one of The Beatles' greatest songs (I'll let you discover for yourself which one it is)

Preview of an article from the AP News website, with the headline "South Korea embraces a huge shark slowly circling a canal in the country's biggest port city." The image shows an overhead view of a shark in the water, with a crowd of people gathered around the edge of a railing looking down at it.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

I think about this all the time. I think this is it. Anytime we begin to lose all the eyewitnesses and everyone who had to live w/ the consequences of that kind of tragedy, we have to make a concerted effort to keep it in public consciousness & keep Nazi/Nazi-adjacent sympathizers persona non grata.

An episode of Amazing Stories with a train full of ghosts. As I recall there was a dead grandfather on the train and my own had died not long before that so that might have had something to do with it. Refused to watch another episode of that show even though the rest of my family loved it.

This is the uncropped version of the photo. Keep in mind, this was taken with an 800mm lens (so, around 16x magnification). You can imagine how hard it is to spot these guys with the naked eye! #birds

This was wild to see. My first time writing for the screen. My thanks to Zoe Kazan for inviting me on this journey back in 2023, and my agent Jason Richman and everyone at @unitedtalentagency.bsky.social for their work on my behalf.

“Written for Television by ZOE KAZAN & ALEXANDER CHEE” in white letters against the black tv screen.

A tv still of Mike Faist, Christopher Abbott and Florence Pugh. White text in a San serif font reads “This East of Eden, adapted primarily by Zoe Kazan-Alexander Chee co-wrote a key midseason episode-with Garth Davis directing, is rich, morally complex and packed with memorable performances."

Aspens on the Aquarius Plateau near Boulder, UT #forestfriday #eastcoastkin #utah #aspens #fall #autumn #naturephotography

Closeup of an aspen trunk showing dark diagonal markings against the white background of bark. Some conjure up symbols of murky provenance. In the background, fallen yellow leaves cover the ground while other aspens with leaves still on them reach to the sky.

Young aspen trees, pearly white and unblemished, sport leaves of russet-tinted gold. More small aspens can be seen in the background along with darker pines farther behind. The ground is littered with fallen leaves.

Butterbutt. An older comic.

A four-panel comic titled "yellow-rumped warbler poem". In panel 1, a yellow-rumped warbler stands on a branch in a late autumn scene, and says "Fall is here." In panel 2, the warbler watches a brown leaf fall to the ground, and says "Winter's near." In panel 3, the warbler faces the viewer as brown leaves fall, and says "Need some cheer?" In panel 4, the warbler is showing its luminous yellow rump, and cheerfully says "See my rear."

Google AI summaries are not to be trusted. Case in point: all actual references on the web to "Daughter, Dreamer, Slayer" point to my forthcoming novel. And yet the AI summaries related to searches on that title have been confidently and completely wrong for days.

Screencap of Google's AI claiming my novel is a Buffy tagline.

Google's AI claiming my forthcoming adult horror book is actually a YA novel from a different author.

TV’s nice, but probably the best thing I’ve watched in awhile was all the bird antics at the puddle on our garage roof. First the mockingbird was being a bit of a bully and hogging the puddle all for himself. Then the bluebirds were having an absolute blast splashing around.
