Anyway, they have you busy debating whether putting rude words into the chat window constitutes abuse of a conscious entity because they think you are stupid and won’t pay attention to the criminal accumulation of power, and they seem to he right about that.

Or to put it differently, “AI alignment” starts from the premise that the future will be marked by the rampant dysregulation of fascist politics and attempts to address the fear of dangerous technologies existing in such a political milieu by doing more fascism.

A murder of crows, or perhaps a conspiracy of ravens. This Celtic blackwork corvid tattoo is from my latest flash designs. Lovely to visit with a friend and create this ink. Made with joy at Old Crow Tattoo #tattoo
Light skinned forearm with a black tattoo depicting a crow or raven with Celtic style spirals across its back and wings, surrounded by a ring of nine more tiny crows.

It’s corvid season around here - today’s piece is a Celtic style raven perched on a riverbank, representing a very personal story. Thank you for sitting like a champ for this piece, what a joy to create. #tattoo

This piece honors Taino and Haitian ancestors and celebrates the client’s Caribbean heritage. Custom design inspired by the gorgeous Akwasak style developed by Dimitri Andrew. Made with love at Old Crow Tattoo in Berkeley CA. Thank you so much for the trust and grace! #tattoo

IT'S CROW TIME!! To celebrate my guest artist spot at @oldcrowtattoo in September, I've made a brand new set of corvid-themed flash designs featuring Celtic and Neolithic ornaments. Cause who doesn't need a bit more Celtic crow bling? #tattoo
Flash page featuring five crow and raven-themed designs. One has a raven in black with wings spread superimposed over a spiraling Celtic pattern in red dotwork. Another has a raven with purple patterns on its wings, perched on a skull decorated with blue spiral forms. The third has a stylized crow with three spiral forms on its wings and back surrounded by a circle of nine tiny crows. Fourth, a triskelion formed by sweeping black crow wings, with spirals and triad knots decorating the wings. Last, a crow skull with blue dotwork ornaments on the forehead, superimposed over a blue Neolithic style sun/starburst type pattern.

We shared a friendship with the Morrígan and a fascination with what he called the immensities - the great mysteries of life and death. I imagine him now moving into that great mystery beyond death with curiosity and a sense of exploration. Blessings and peace to you, Brendan. We will miss you.

I’m so sad to learn that my friend Brendan Myers crossed over. I appreciated his generosity of spirit, his incisive mind, and his humor. He contributed so much to pagan thought and philosophy with his writings, too.
I couldn’t find a photo of us together because I’m just terrible at remembering to get selfies, but here’s a photo Brendan took of me at the Western Gate Samhain festival in 2012, greeting the depths of Lake Okanagan.
Photo shows an expanse of lake water with light shining across it from the horizon, and a small figure in a black cloak silhouetted against it.

Actually I take it back, I like the dragons. I’m Team Kaiju. But it makes me sad when the dragons destroy each other. The longer I watch this show the more I kinda think the dragons should stop taking orders from these evil, awful people and just burn all of them and go back to being wild dragons.
