MEDEA: I know indeed what evil I intend to do,
But stronger than all my afterthoughts is my fury,
Fury that brings upon mortals the greatest evils.
[ΜΉΔΕΙΑ: Καὶ μανθάνω μὲν οἷα τολμήσω κακά,
θυμὸς δὲ κρείσσων τῶν ἐμῶν βουλευμάτων,
ὅσπερ μεγίστων αἴτιος κακῶν βροτοῖς.]Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Medea [Μήδεια], l. 1078ff (431 BC) [tr. Warner (1944)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/euripides/84529/

2. Intentions vs. Agency"People... realize that beliefs are disconnected from behavior. Their intentions are disconnected from their agency."
A human being working within a military or state apparatus might have good intentions, or believe they are a moral person. But their agency (their actual power to act) has been completely swallowed by the system. They are just a cog pushing a button because a software dashboard told them to.

While the word synergy itself isn't bad, as combining forces can be a good thing, the word has become corporate jargon at best and has lost its way. Now, it's used more in corporate speak that can feel lost in its true intention. #jargon #corporatelife #business #synergy #intentions

A quotation from Bill Watterson
CALVIN: Hobbes, do you think our morality is defined by our actions, or by what’s in our hearts?
HOBBES: I think our actions show what’s in our hearts.
CALVIN: (after consideration) I resent that!Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist

Setting an intention for the year and surrounding yourself with things that reflect your values can be important (and a good alternative to resolutions).
The #art you choose to live with can shape the intent of a space.
Here’s to a year built with purpose, not pressure.
Today I'm sharing, “Panama General.' Panama, a country that faced aggression from the U.S., and after a long struggle, successfully won its independence.
Intentions.

So after adding quote-posts to Mastodon, it seems the "quote-post apocalypse" did not eventuate.
I like to think it's because the user-base of Mastodon contains a much higher density of "well intentioned" users and far fewer of influencers, bots, attention-seekers and monetization etc. And the reason there are few of those, is because the user has full choice to never see them.
Intentions matter and so does **user-quality**.

My 2026 Intentions
I like to look ahead to what I hope to accomplish in the new year. While most people make new year resolutions, however, I like to make new year INTENTIONS. -
I dislike the term “#resolutions”, but I do like identifying goals, hopes, and intentions for the new year. Here are some of mine. Care to share any of your own?
- take beginner tap dance lessons
- continue self-defense classes
- maybe learn a martial art to support goal above
- eat healthier, exercise more
- stay up-to-date with work stuff
- hang out more w/friends
- continue to mask, don’t apologize for it
- drink more water
- plant more wildflowers#NewYear #Goals #Hopes #Intentions #2026

Looking Ahead: My Intentions For 2026
About this time last year, I jotted down some intentions for 2025, ‘a few ideas of the things that I really want to do over the coming twelve months’. I did quite well with these: I resurrected a few old cameras, like the Kodak 1A and 3A folding cameras, and the Vest Pocket Kodak; I finally got to use the medium format half-frame beastie that’s the Bencini Koroll 2; and I actually used my only 127 film in the Purma Special on a 127 Day this year. I also tumbled down the rabbit hole that was the Rapid film system, which led to some great fun with colour emulsions, redscaling, and even trying some EBS photography, or exposing both sides of the emulsion, and of course I added a load more weird and wonderful cameras to my collection.
The only part of my ‘intentions’ for 2025 that I didn’t really get anywhere with was glitching; taking a perfectly good photograph in digital format and altering the data contained in it to produce a corrupted image. As a reminder, images can be glitched in a number of ways: with a Hex Editor, to alter details of individual pixels in an image; processing a digital photograph in a program not intended for editing image files; or using a script in a programming language to corrupt the file. This is known as databending, but there is also circuit bending, which either takes an image and corrupts it using a specially made image processor, or using a camera where the hardware within the camera has been physically altered so that the image saved to the card is corrupted.
A corrupted 3D image, taken with the Fujifilm W3 Real 3d stereo digital camera. The file has been databent by processing the file in the audio editing program Audacity.I already have one circuit bent camera, and also a couple of cameras with failing sensors that produce lovely glitchy images, but I’ve also recently obtained an old Digital8 video camera that I hope will allow me to use a circuit bent device called the Mismatcher Petite to corrupt digital images and videos. This year, I also picked up a scanner, the Epson Perfection v750 Pro flatbed scanner, and a little micro computer to use it with. Onto this computer I’ve loaded some of the programs and applications that I hope will aid me with databending and glitching.
The Mismatcher Petite, an image modification device the I’ll use in conjunction with the Sony Digital8 camera below.I’ve not forgotten film, of course, and although I’m not really in a position to soup and develop my own films, perhaps I can ‘glitch’ some instant film, or deliberately introduce light leaks to exposed 35mm and medium format film, for instance. Of course, there will always be new (to me) cameras to play with, and if last year is anything to go by, not all of these are light tight, and I have several rolls of expired film to use. With glitching, be it digital or film, you never quite know what result you’ll get, and that for me is what will make the coming year so exciting.
A digital image taken with an Olympus Pen E-PL1 and a homemade Deakinizer (a wide-angle effect lens held reversed over the lens). The image has been databent by processing the image in the audio editor, Audacity.If you are on Mastodon, you can now follow this blog directly.

I'm done with rigid New Year's Resolutions.
This year, I'm choosing a gentle Intention.
It's about how I want to feel, not what I have to fix.

Subject: Lies, truth, intentions, & autism.
As an autistic person, I have a lot of trouble with lies.
Both lying and being lied to. I find it hard to get my head around it... 🤷♀️

If you have a radio, the next three months is a good time to have it get out of fix. All you will hear from now until the 4th of November will be: “We must get our government out of the hands of predatory wealth.” “The good people of this great country are burdened to death with taxes; now what I intend to do is ….”
What he intends to do is try and get elected. That’s all any of them intend to do.Will Rogers (1879-1935) American humorist
