Another day, another market! I'm in Washington Park in Albany NY today for @abiggaymarket.bsky.social. The fall weather couldn't be better, there's vendors, food, music, and more, and I'm doing a bonus today - a free make-a-take jewelry station, with tips donated to the Market! Come on out, say hi!

It's time for more Oracle Card creative prompts from Xianyu Zhou! How it works: 💭 think of a character/scene/question you want inspo related to 👀 view the oracle draw through that lens, consider how the cards relate to your situation! 🌐 our interpretations here: duckprintspress.com/2026/09/10/c...

Three cards are laid on a purple fabric with white floral motif. The leftmost card is upside down and reads “Slow Burn” with an image of a lit jar candle. The middle card is right-side-up and reads “New Book” with an image of three books in a stack with sparkle lines on both sides. The rightmost card is upside down and reads “Hurt/Comfort” with an image of two figures, one is seated on the ground and hugging their knees as they cried while the other is crouched on one knee with one hand placed on the other’s shoulder in consolation.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

asking the most horrific thing of the person he loves the most. these stories don't pull punches. i found it hard to edit at times because they dragged me in and messed me up (complimentary). they don't all have happy endings, but like any good folklore, they give a window into our own souls.

8. Of all the many interdimensional portals to be found in the British countryside, the 'Green-Lane-As-Tunnel-To-Paradise' type of interdimensional portal is definitely one of my favourites.

A green lane in mid-Cornwall, tunnelling towards the sea and, possibly, heaven. Right at the end of the portal you can just make out two figures who, after hurrying to catch them up, I found out were ghosts who died here in mysterious circumstances in 1938 and are now stuck not unpleasantly in the space for eternity or until they find some way to avenge their deaths (which they told me "doesn't seem massively likely at this point).

Earlier this week, I received a submission for @thevoice.dog that I'm very certain was AI generated, which I rejected. Because I see so many people talking about the problem, I want to go over why I was and still am so confident that it was in fact AI. Because you CAN in fact tell.
