First time I heard you play at AnthroCon I bought I think 2 of your CDs and listened to them back-to-back-to-back for the whole drive home. It helped me survive what was at the time a not so good home. *gentlest of hugs*

So @warriorchicken.me and I do our best thinking first thing in the morning. Today the results of our dawn brainstorm is the term SHAIMING (must be all-caps) As in: she replied to the AI-generated response to her Help Ticket by SHAIMING the human developers for using gen-AI inappropriately.

Reminds me of the chickpea chocolate cake I used to make for my GF pals! Don't sleep on those beans, mate

If you think an artist's style looks like AI but you can scroll back through their portfolio and see them doing the same work before 2020, congrats, you're not looking at an AI grifter. You're looking at one of the original victims whose entire style AI stole.

Artists, show us how you draw Black women
Graphite pencil portrait of a woman staring straight at the viewer, her brows slightly furrowed and her mouth set in a determined line. Her thick curly hair falls off to one side like clouds, smoke, or snakes. She is lit from behind on the opposite side by the light of a full moon, which is just emerging from behind her head so only a crescent is visible. She is tired, angry, and 100% not giving up yet. She is Selene Shields, a protagonist of the Driving Arcana books.

I did a thing this morning for Week Without Driving. Somehow I only just found out about it last week. (It starts Thursday.) Here's the content of the email I sent to my reps (tweaked slightly per rep)
The week without driving is October 1–8, 2026.

Sadly, in the US, almost all residents must transport themselves by private automobile to participate fully in society. At the same time, a third of us can't drive ourselves and rely on underfunded public transit, expensive “ride-share” services, and the kindness of friends, family, and strangers to get to places we can’t reach by walking and biking.

The inefficient overuse of private automobiles has killed and injured countless people over the years—and recently it's trending worse. The toll on our natural environment, which we are charged to preserve and protect for ourselves, for future generations, and for God, has been incalculable.

For the sake of my health and the health of others, I have spent a lifetime minimizing my driving. I’m fortunate enough in my physical abilities that bicycling is still an option that I choose daily. But the situation could be so much better.

When I compare public transit service in and between US cities to others around the world, I’m embarrassed and frustrated. When I read (and watch videos) about the safety and comfort of people walking and biking in many cities around the world and compare that to my experience getting myself around on a bike, I long for the same support here.

Yes, it could be so much better. But only if our elected representatives take the problem seriously, and the best way to take a problem seriously is to experience it for yourself and then tackle it.

As a third-generation Californian, I ask you and your staffers to participate in the week without driving starting on Thursday, October 1, and pay attention to this issue that affects the quality of all our lives, and especially the third of us who don’t drive.

For ideas about how you can participate, see https://weekwithoutdriving.org

I look forward to hearing from you afterward about how your participation gave you ideas for helping Californians reduce the need to drive—and what those ideas are.

It's folded in half diagonally and resting on a wood and metal bench as a backdrop.Photo of an enamel pin of a celestial-themed bumblebee. The bee is facing right in a rounded pose with wings sticking out above it. It has a large round eye and sparkles on the body with constellation-like patterns as the wing veins. The antennae and some of the legs are mostly depicted by gold metal. The pin is resting on a blue cloth surface with some round gold accents. Mark at the bottom of the image reads "shop.mothmonar.ch"Photo of two vinyl stickers of stylized millipedes posed to resemble infinity symbols. Both have metallic color areas for their legs and between their black body segments - the top is rainbow, the bottom is red. They are on a brown-grey background. Text reads "Shop.Mothmonar.ch"Photo of a lavender sticker sheet with whimsical celestial-themed moths and related accent stickers. Nine moths have moons, stars, and small constellations on their wings with purple, blue, and pink palettes. Their shapes are inspired by real species like the luna moth, comet moth, cecropia moth, sphinx moth, etc. Accent stickers include four-pointed stars, five-pointed stars, a moon, a planet with a ring, and a four-pointed comet as well as a line of moon phases vertically in the middle of the sheet. Some of the stars, moons, and markings have metallic details catching the light here. The top of the sheet reads "Magic Moon Moths" and the bottom has the artist's name, "Moth Monarch".
