How fitting that a volunteer, school-based math tutoring org would use a simple, clear flyer and a for-profit youth sports org would use an AI slop poster.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

Does cemetery restoration count as a hobby? I could certainly spend a lot of time, space and money on it...

I know it's darker than you were planning, but I love how rich and deep that purple is compared to the bright colors.

A portion of the graph view of the Obsidian vault for my One Place Study, showing a bunch of mostly red and black dots, representing people, connected by lines showing relationships. The lines are crossing over each other, representing a very close knit community.

I'm so excited to be giving this talk to @kentuckygenealogy.bsky.social. Working on the study for nearly a year now has made me realize how I'm just scratching the surface of what there is to find. I'm giving the talk in October but I might be working on the #OnePlaceStudy for a decade!

Attempted plant surgery this morning to remove some squash vine borers. 50% of the plants didn't survive the surgery. The other 50% are technically still alive, but I'll likely be clearing the whole bed next weekend and putting in beans. Decent short harvest, but I'll be more proactive next year.

Funny how you can spot an AI generated flyer/advertisement instantly by how overly-designed they all are. My college art professors used to call this, “ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag.”
