Has anyone ever recorded hippocampal rythms in humans when we look up and to the right 👁️↗️ while we are trying to remember an event, come up with an idea or think of an answer? Following the punctuation metaphor, looking up at the corner of the ceiling could be our "return" key or "control" key. 😉

LGBT needs to stop at those four letters. We have nothing for asexuals and queer is still a derogatory word no matter what Nigerians or privileged white American millennials say. We are a community of ppl who have actual orientations and actual genders that need to be protected w/ human rights.

only my Mondrianesque stuff is easily identifiable yet still unique to me. And that's simply because I have flipped the medium entirely - the Jackson Pollock in me thinks Mondrian created too many rules for himself. 😆[3/3]

my Mondrian-inspired work — so I'm not quite at that level where I can confidently say that I have added much to his themes or style... yet. Do you have other influences? Did I perhaps detect some Brian Froud? 😉 Haring, Pollock and Mondrian are my main influences (in that order) but [2/3]

Your work is even perhaps more intricate than Gieger's, so it's definitely "building on" more than "taking from". I have a few Haring-inspired pieces that I have done but they aren't quite as clean as [1/3]

Let's try it this way: I'm going to host a #MonthlyChallenge starting in December. This one can be for #Anything Popular/ your own: Artwork, Songs, movies poems, photos etc. To use #SignfiresDailyThemes you should try to choose with the theme. 💯🕺if the same post serves another challenge too.

@omacolt.bsky.social - you keep track of all the monthly movie challenges, right? Do you know any of the others for art or music?

SignFire - J.D. Terrill @signfire.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I tried to keep it at a general purpose daily theme so it could refer to #movies you've watched, #songs you can quote or #artwork you have made (or at least fits for the day's theme a little bit.)

SignFire - J.D. Terrill @signfire.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

As many of the challenges and daily hashtags as you want to be a part of. I created this one for Dec, to show the idea but I don't know how to kick it off or if its an idea #skeeters can get behind. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Any list or challenge creators wanna lightly adapt this to your challenge just once to try it?

SignFire - J.D. Terrill @signfire.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

It occurs to me that daily posts like the #OctoberMovieChallenge & the ones for artists to post their own work like #Kinktober & the one to post song #lyrics according to days of the month, etc. could benefit from sharing themes. So 1 #calandar for each month, or challenge makers syncing a bit. 😎

[2/2] But all that being said, this account is being run by people who value themselves musicians and I still think it's rude to presume that their work amounts to lazy cheating... I would instantly block someone who said that Claude writes my long form articles (instead of what I do use it for).

I understand your point, even though LLMs (chatbots) are not necessary for a GAM (Generative Audio Model) to spit out "new songs" (which are just hybrids of the songs it was trained on, but come damn close to outright plagiarism) ... [1/2]

You know, that was kind of rude. Besides, there is very little music that doesn't use some form of AI... AI is not some "new thing" that was "invented" by ChatGPT... Sam Altman was only 12 years old when a computer beat the human World Champion in a full round of 5 Chess games.

AI has been used in EDM for the last 15 years or so... The music industry employed vocoders and autotune and the like way before the LLM's made everyone take notice... In fact, you probably use AI every day if your phone has auto-suggest for texting. AI is impressive but humans are still necessary.

It's intersting that you dared to use the word "malingering" in the very intro to an article about CFS. My best friend for years was a dual diagnosis (comorbid) addict and CFS sufferer and at every juncture it has been a "chicken or the egg" question even to those of us who love her the most.

I mean, I understand how abled people see things because up until 10 years ago I was an abled person.

So I no longer qualify people by who is "truly disabled". That is (for better or worse) the government's job — not mine.
