Wildflowers grow where they grow, with no need or desire to steal the show, be in the limelight, command central attention, or "influence" any wayward hiker to their way of thinking.

They're simply beautiful and wild, tucked away in unexpected places, ready to celebrate beauty and joy with you when you notice them.

Well said, and yes, please write it.

"where the tool that is supposed to prop up a platform for you to perform your thing ends up crossing that boundary and tries to also do the thing for you"

You have identified the core of the problem with today's intrusive tools: browser, OS, email client, word processor. Why can't you just let me do what I came here to do?

I cannot feel bad for people who use a technology which is proven to be unethical when said technology crash. This technology is corporation centric, not human centric. The web was built by humans who cooperate and share knowledge, the endgame here is to steal knowledge and put it in the hands of a few for profit. #noaithanks #noai

into the garden - summer blooms
This is the third in a series of paintings that illuminate the transformative beauty of the natural world. To visually express how total immersion into the deep colors of gardens and wild spaces can create a profound sense of peace; restore wonder; and generate calm in an increasingly chaotic world.

I placed AI instructions hidden on my site, with absolute bullshit, and the bot eats this shit.

Shit in, shit out. If you can't block them. Let them eat cake, made out of poop.

Screenreader are unaffected by this, my site is made for humans, not bots. :bunhdcomfy:

#ScribesAndMakers 7/15. How's your creativity going? Do you need help? Would you like to share a paragraph or image for critique?

I'm always interested in what people have to say so here's the first paragraph of my WIP - what do you think? (You may have seen it before.)

The band was crap but Geeta didn’t care. The air was thick with heat and sweat, and it stank of weed. People crashed against her as she pogoed to the thudding bass and drum while the lead guitar screamed hate-filled anti-government slogans.

I sent out my (very) occassional writing newsletter today & added this to the footer.

Statement on "AI" use

I do not & will not employ so called "AI" (e.g. Large Language Models/LLMs) in any part of my writing process. All of my work - poetry, fiction, & non fiction - is 100% human generated. The tools I use in writing either do not have AI integrated or I have disabled it. I commission cover art from human artists.

I doubt many people will care, but I do. It matters to me
