The more underwater representation the better.

It’s disturbing that anyone has thought deeply about this. On the other hand, this story needs more characters. What about shrimp? Or hermit crabs?

a framed painting of a red sun with eyes floating in the middle of it on a white background, and thirteen stylised crows beneath. There are collaged snippets under the crows.

We had several albums from Nonesuch back in the day and not long ago I hunted high and low for their Art of Fugue LP set. Didn’t realize there was a blog!

We had a lovely gray kitty back in the day. Sadly, allergies prevent having one now, but we cheer from the sidelines.

How I feel about the weekend almost being over. #cats #BlueskyCats #gato #CatsOfBluesky
Color photograph. A tan and black tabby cat wears a teal harness as she walks outside. The photo captures her as she shakes her head from side to side with motion blur evident. Wouldn’t you feel the same way about it almost being Monday?

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

I’ve been painting most days. It takes a while to get one’s hand back after a break from a medium, but I’m enjoying the effort. These are mostly done with A. Gallo watercolors from Italy. They have honey and rosemary oil in the binder, and are incredibly creamy and luxurious.

Oh, that’s tragic! (One thanksgiving I had everything almost ready to go to the table when my pyrex dishes started exploding. Glass everywhere. We lost every cooked dish but the turkey and the pies.)

new favorite review of my play just dropped
a picture of the cast of my play Spoons (Kaan Kayasan, Yagmur Guclu) and a review: 

Despite this heavy, traumatic base of the play, that subtle humor and situation comedy in the text was so high that it balanced that claustrophobic intensity of the drama very well. Instead of drowning in a heavy sociological inquiry, we caught a breathless rhythm with the actors, where we had a lot of fun in the hall.

Sometimes I search Bluesky like this: "#kidlitartpostcard since:2025-10-01 until:2025-11-01" to find #kidlitartpostcard posts from October when I'm looking for someone to illustrate new Halloween picture books. It's a good idea to post samples that align with each month's dominant holiday.
