Okay so here's the thing. @capn_b was on the right track. What I was hoping someone would say is Queen; and more specifically, it sounds very much like an instrumental alternate take of In The Lap Of The Gods... Revisited, the final track on Sheer Heart Attack. It's not that, but that's what I […]

Sometimes I see people's #introduction posts and I think "That's good. I should do that one of these days," but then I remember that I have no idea what I would say and that's why I never wrote one. "I'm just a sad, tired person with very little to say." Done.

Everyone, I have a suggestion: New Skill November. #NewSkillNovember
NEW SKILL NOVEMBER

[an art nouveau painting in autumn colors of a woman playing the harp]

LEARN A NEW SKILL OR REBUILD AN OLD ONE; THE ONLY RULE: DO IT YOURSELF, DO NOT USE AI

Sketching, knitting, whittling, a musical instrument, a foreign language, a tricky video game, cooking, weaving, changing oil, riding a bike, painting, pixel art, website design, digital image editing, bookbinding, calligraphy, identifying mushrooms, embroidery, soldering, that one thing you've been putting off

Do the hard part yourself, no matter how imperfect it feels. Learn and internalize how it really works. Consult guides written by human experts, and ask your fellow human beings for help. Take pride in knowledge and abilities that are an intrinsic part of your existence and not dependent on renting from corporations.

Happy Leif Erickson Day!
An image I made back in the LiveJournal days. The base is the old "Bitches don't know about my dick" meme that time has forgotten. A young bro has taken a mirror selfie showing off his shirt. I crudely edited it. His shirt is now in runic characters but if converted to normal English letters reads "BITCHES DON'T KNOW ABOUT MY DISCOVERY OF AMERICA" He's been given a beard, a gold Mjölnir necklace (yes I know he was Christian, fuck off), an axe, and a bejeweled, horned helmet (again, fuck off). I've been sharing and reposting this image for decades because I'm very proud of it.

My secondhand blursed cowboy computer wizard statue finally arrived. Might try to do a photoshoot later and make a profile pic.
Blessed/cursed hand-carved and painted wooden statue of a creepily grinning cowboy sitting on a stump with an old laptop in his lap labeled "COMPUTER WIZARD". His left hand holds a floppy disk labeled "FLOPPY DISK". He's got blue jeans, and orange, long sleeved shirt, brown cowboy boots, a brown vest, a brown cowboy hat, and a yellow neckerchief. His hair and mustache are brown with grey highlights. He will certainly protect me from electronic evils such as viruses and LLMs. I just know it.
