This somehow got turned off automatically for me, so I had to go back into my settings to turn on “require alt text” again. Might have happened to you too; worth a check to keep your posts accessible to all.

WW, can you help? I asked someone here to DM me because I’d rather mail cash than use GFM. Instead, they blocked me. I understand concern about scams, but it’s a shame. I hope they make it to payday. (And, no, folks, I don’t send money to just anyone. This is someone trusted by someone I trust.)

#AmWriting a piece of fiction that may or may never be published (or even finished). Last night I discovered one character’s underlying motivation. Today I learned that the person my character is loosely based on does indeed live from that motivation, at least partially. Is this keyboard scrying?

Eating outside on a warm Autumn day, listening to wind and birds. A dragonfly searches for lunch. Sunshine glints off leaves. Late-planted, gifted dahlias are thinking about blooming. I should pinch off the buds to send more energy to the tubers before they go dormant. I’d rather see their color.

I would like to see more men talking about how to and peer pressuring each other into calling out misogyny and rape culture. Going against social norms is hard, and it helps to share tips and support.

This is a good sign. Looks like there’ll be ongoing wrangling for a while, but it could result in some Oregon data centers paying their fair share. And, yes, I’m well aware that reading the article and writing this requires data center electricity and water. I try to be judicious about that.

How creatives see “gen AI.” And, per the replies, non-creatives as well. Worth the read for perspective. #creativity Via @owenkcstephens.bsky.social, who didn’t include Alt Text, so this kind person did. (It seems to have been generated by a computer; apparently there’s one typo in it.)

I wanted to thank those of you who stepped up to donate funds and have offered to send used gear to support my student Gavin at the outset of his film journey. As a community, we have raised $150 to help with #film and developing costs for him. He still needs a tripod and a camera bag.

Mind the gap! Creating a hole at the base of a fence helps create wildlife corridors, allowing creatures to move from one green space to another. Hedgehogs, for example, travel up to 2 miles each night in search of food – so they need room to roam 🦔 More: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/hom...

Just a thought: I can’t believe that deer kill 440 people a year in the US. Vehicle wrecks involving deer might. But if a deer gored a human to death every day in the US, we’d have heard about it long ago.
