October and Halloween post #10 #musings #blogging #writing
Photo by Alwin Johnson on Pexels.com So far, so good. We're in month ten of the year and it's kind of crazy how fast this year has been. I've managed to write this post on the first Sunday of the month. Progress. I might the last two months scheduled. Maybe. End of year holidays are always chaotic between work and family.

as always with my education/ish posts, it's interesting to see who boosts them, but perhaps even more interesting to see who doesn't :sip_tea: (especially when entire instances are unrepresented :mew_giggle: )
Interesting that these AI agents aren't attacking Palantir, or Weapons Manufacturers, or DOJ, or the Netanyahu Regime or any of the other bad guys, isn't it?.....
A funny spot in local auctions just now, 12x current-circulation $2 coins ($24 worth), auction price $15 🤣

What to Know About beyond the Agent Route: How Teen Actors Are Finding Acting Auditions on Their Own
I've been thinking recently about my lifelong drive to get language right... I don't mean differences between dialects/accents (those are fine and fascinating), but rather, things like calling Antarctica, well, Antarctica instead of Anartica, alongside a desire to call counties by the name they call themselves instead of a name imposed on them by other peoples :frog_think:
there's definitely some drive stemming from the fact that I've had to juggle two mother tongue since fairly young, but also maybe some drive originating feom just how often my very Japanese name was mispronounced...
back when I was an egg, it was simple consonant-vowel pairs like most Japanese characters, but people would remove letters, switch letters, and hallucinate ones that weren't even there :cat_facepalm:
My… What an odd thought.
Is it true that Country Music is like romance novels are to the literary world?

Today's thought
I kind of long for the days when I did compile the Linux kernel by myself for my desktop. I did it mainly to just see how to do it, but I did continue for a while.
The nice thing was that I had a configuration which had approximately the stuff I needed and not much else. I have no real data but I think it was also smaller than the distro’s kernel packages.
I could do it again, of course, but I don’t really see the need. It has slop anyway.
I want you on your knees, looking up at me, waiting for me to give you direction, trembling excitedly in anticipation of what I'm going to do to you.

I write a wide range of things from Fantasy to Horror (got even Sci-Fi stuff in my backlog) and I don't shy away from death, dismemberment, vicera, gore, mutilation, manipulation, illness, and all that good stuff.
But this far I have not written a single sex scene, and am not really planning to either. Closest you may get to in the Fairytale is a single kiss, and it is not the type you may think. :P
Just not my cup of tea.
A great reminder that dark and light coexist. Some days darkness dominates; others, light wins out. What radiates often depends on our mindset. Even when the clouds go gray, we can be a light for ourself and others. #carolinabluesky #musings #lookingup

For the longest time (since their inception to about a week ago if we’re being precise), I thought the 🫂 emoji was an old fashioned film projector (which actually has its own emoji 📽️).
I thought people using it were offering sympathy by metaphorically suggesting they and the recipient watch an oldie feel-good film.
In my defence, my explanation is nicely romantic, and that hug one requires much more detail/contrast to be obvious (to me… and maybe only me 😅)
Construction in the US only builds 90% of the housing needed, then criminalizes vagrancy. Who is that system benefiting?
The well known "Users are not customers of Big Tech companies, they are the product" is just partially true. The term "raw material" seems more appropriate to me.

How Cinema Shaped Our Cultural Fascination With Risk and the Wager
Think about the last time a movie made your palms sweat. Odds are, there were chips on a table. A card about to flip. Somebody pushing a stack forward when every sensible voice said fold. Cinema figured out a long time ago that nothing grips an audience quite …

Sometimes I get nostalgic for that period of time in the 90s where genius marketing consisted of slapping a "2000" after every brand or product name. I especially fondly remember an antiques store near where I lived at the time. It was called "Antiek 2000" (Antiques 2000) and nothing has ever topped that.

Dungeness
Last Friday my friends and I drove east to Dungeness, a headland on the Kent coast. It’s most well-known for two nuclear power stations (both non-operational now), Prospect Cottage (the home of the…https://www.lazaruscorporation.co.uk/blogs/artists-notebook/posts/dungeness
Ape
Today my daughter walks into the room after banging her head on the floor because our indoor swing tipped backwards.
She is wearing a towel around her shoulders and strutting like she thinks she is Queen Elizabeth.
Her hair is a frizzy mess all over her head. Last night’s plait loosely pulled together behind.
“Mama,” she says, in her most important voice, “What a wonderful day”
“Certainly is,” I reply.
“Today I am wearing a ape”
“An ape?”
“Yes. Because I am a Queen.”
“Ah. You mean a cape?”
“No. Definitely not a cape. I am wearing a ape.”
Ok girlie. Wear your ape. Enjoy your wonderful day. Isn’t it magical being five?
Jellyfish and fish by her majesty in an ape. #blogging #childhood #children #family #fiveYearsOld #growingUp #imaginaryPlay #life #love #memories #motherhood #musings #painting #personal #thingsMy5YearOldSays #thoughts #wordpress #writing
First harvest Lughnasadh post #8 #musings #blogging #holiday #writing
It's the first Sunday of August. Happy Lamas (Lughnasadh) yesterday on the Celtic calendar of holidays. First harvest is among us and it's been a nice summer into fall so far. School starts tomorrow and all that entails. It's nice to rest from work but I need a three-day weekend or longer soon. Photo by Tamhasip Khan on Pexels.com Beginning of next month will be the annual Dragon Con event here in…

🎩🤖 Ah, behold the latest stroke of genius: an article questioning if #AI is #reasoning for the "wrong reasons"—as if anyone expected #silicon #brains to be experts in philosophy! Just what we needed, a deep dive into the #existential #musings of algorithms, because pondering a toaster's motives is definitely the pinnacle of #modern #science. 📚🔍

The Best Sports Movies That Will Motivate You to Keep Going
Sports motivation movies are not only about victories, records, and competition. They show the difficult path behind success, including failures, sacrifices, discipline, and the determination to continue when things do not go as planned. These films can inspire athletes, professionals, and anyone who wants extra motivation to overcome challenges and achieve their goals....
Watching him make morning coffee. He's naked, still not fully awake, and completely oblivious to his own handsomeness.

So excited to announce that when I got up this morning there was an email waiting for me letting me know I'd won in last night's xlotto draw!
I wanted to ask my pocket friends here on Mastodon what color my yacht should be?
Because with the $10.60 it says I've won I can just about afford a small pot of paint to buy & save for when I can afford a yacht.. 🤪

I still struggle with external validation.

All the places that I’ve been. I am not moving.
I live in so many places. I’m in the forest and the fields. I’m at sea and in the mountains. And I stand there alone, in the grass, as I watch the highway beside me. Lots of people there. They’re moving, going somewhere. Yet I stand, watching as the mist creeps up. I’ve been standing here for a while now. Sometimes I fear that I’ll be standing here forever. As time goes by, the years pass, and I get older. I am older. Still here, I think. I’m still right here.
