...my mind is made of moths and matches... I could not get by without art, books, coffee, song or twisting my fingers up in all the things. I can get by without AI. So can you! Most of my friends are some sort of makers. I came here to keep in touch.

I just got a fright! Little Brother had been visiting, left about a half hour ago and forgot his phone. I heard some horrible noises from the back patio and thought he had wrecked his bike and was crying injured. He told me it was his Mrs. Doubtfire voice, not getting I've never seen that film.

More than half of my 20 minute commute to work this morning coincided with the Portland Marathon. I was unaware, unprepared for alternate routes, and ten minutes late for my shift.

My back has been jacked up since the middle of the night last night. My head and neck are possibly two inches out of true to the right and I am sure I am a whole inch shorter. Lumbar vertebrae displacement in my 20s. Haven't been this crooked in yonks. Oh, my! Oh noes!! Och aye!!!

Sometimes you come across a wall that you just know leaks ghosts. A wall that functions as pareidolia trap. See a face, focus on a phantom in the chaos and you will summon it. I've discovered it is really best to not look at them too closely or too long. – #MattAdams, 1982

Our media is worse than useless. Where are the Epstein files? How are things in Venezuela? Is Mitch McConnell getting on well with Schrodinger's Cat? Has ICE been held accountable for murdering our citizens? What about that Texas group invading Geenland? Any end in sight to three wars?

When I die I will never have to see another awful AI graphic ever again. What they are turning out can be spotted a mile away. There's this thing called editing. Less is more. The human touch. It shows when used and it really shows when it isn't. Now we have an overflowing toilet of AI turds.

If we can somehow become the biggest cinema in the world on Bluesky, then we'll do something stupid like give every Bluesky user who comes to a screening a free popcorn* or some shit. *Terms and conditions apply.

@annie-oh.bsky.social Because you love children's book illustrations you should check out @joncarling.bsky.social. For general visuals and art history plus archaeology - with an emphasis on eye and pubs - look to @richardmortimer.bsky.social. Another UK amazement is art by @davidseed.bsky.social.

America's greatest pencil only gets better with use.
Pen cluttered drawer. The yellow pencil sitting on top of the pile, though partially sharpened, still mostly reads, Students today aren't ready for sex. The first couple letters of students are sharpened away, allowing one to imagine the further truncating of the text.

Started Save The Witch by Tom Cox a bit after 8 PM. On page 89 there is a typo wherein he and might are run together "hemight." Some previous library user has folded down page 141. Hoping to be able to determine why when I get there. @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social
