  1. I was suppin' me tea
    When it came to me
    What a miracle is life
    When ye' strip away t'strife

    I weeded me plot
    Mind, it wasn't so hot
    But seeds'r a sprouting
    Don't need no shoutin'

    From those tiny grains
    And a fair share o'rains
    Comes all that I need
    For a right good feed

  12. Inside The Contested Origins Of The ‘Jack And Jill’ Nursery Rhyme

    By Kaleena Fraga

    From the executions of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette to a satirization of King Charles I's liquor tax, there are countless theories about the true meaning of "Jack and Jill."

    1930's: America sees a surge of immigrants fleeing fascism in Germany.

  19. The attached illustration goes with the Lever Language Song at the end of this post. It was drawn, if I recall correctly, by the developer of that language.

    Regarding the AI question: It's getting old that people ask that. No, the rhyme was original and extemporaneous.

    The question was mild enough this time. However, in the Fall, my Fediverse instance was attacked and a group managed to take down a domain temporarily because one person had decided that I personally must be an LLM.

    For your information, my posts. both essays and rhymes, stand out because I'm autistic and have had an unusual life as well. I don't relish the thought of needing to respond repeatedly to statements about "suspiciously like AI slop" during the last stage of my life. Or of justifying my own neurological differences. How would you feel if you tried to offer something creative and fun and got that as a response?

    Further, the term "slop" is overused and distracts from the real problems with AI. See my 15-page article on AI at LinkedIn:
    https://tinyurl.com/ai-is-fake

    To explain the rhymes, I lost the ability to write poetry per se in 1971 due to trauma related to physical and emotional abuse. Over 50 years later, in 2012, something odd happened and I found that I could now not only rhyme but do so extemporaneously.

    This was unexpected. Bonsaikitten, who some people in Linux will remember as one of the early leads in Gentoo, told me that it had happened because my mental circuits had had a serious shakeout [or similar wording].

    I noticed the change in 2012 when Cody Brocious [now Serafina Brocious] -- part of the team that jailbroke the iPhone -- challenged me to a sort of rap battle. The context was that Brocious had questioned the manner in which I wrote, as you have, though his point was that I sounded odd as opposed to LLM.

    My response to Brocious is pasted below. This was extemporaneous except for, I think, one line that I tweaked later. The close is a reference to Brocious's role in breaking the security for a type of hotel room door lock.

    DAEKEN FORSAKEN

    Daeken, since you ask
    Take me to task
    So bluntly and rudely
    I hear a rhythm with appeal
    When I write I feel
    I'm singing out loud to you

    The lines I write
    In my sight
    Are a song
    If you can't accept that
    Right off the bat
    /IGNORE is where I belong

    So chill. Whitebread Hacker
    Not a Slacker
    I'll admit
    But a drag is sort of
    What you are
    Go decode an abode API sub-par

    Brocious's public response was to deprecate the rhyme but, in private, he [now she] said, "Hats off, dude".

    A decade and a half later, I have the makings of an actual chapbook to leave behind. It's an unexpected development for a severely autistic old coder.

    I trust that I've explained myself sufficiently. But here's a fragment from my CoderSongs project:

    It's time for CoderSongs
    Rhymes that you adore
    Doggerel that famous belongs
    Woof! Dogs bark for more!

    LEVER LANGUAGE SONG

    1. Lever is a language clever,
    Pour a bever-
    age and review. Code shall ensue.
    This I tell you true

    2. Lever Python is not
    Lever is a language hot
    Here is what with it you can do
    You can a tasty beverage brew
    Color the sky a new shade of blue

    3. Lever has Python-isms
    Similar concepts through shiny new prisms
    But there are no schisms
    Like Ruby and Perl, boy and girl,
    the languages are friends, though it depends

    4. Here is Lever's setup,
    no need to get up,
    relax and review. Details are here for you
    Prepare for fun under the Finnish sun
    because of documentation there is a ton

    5. Lever is a language clever,
    Pour a bever-
    age and review. Code shall ensue.

    The reference to Finland is there because the creator of Lever, Henri Tuhola aka Cheery, was Finnish.

    A Lever Language illustration is attached. The illustration was hand-drawn by Cheery in the 2010s and is not AI.

  21. RE: mastodon.social/@enyantiomer/1

    >"You’re one funny fascist away from being a collaborator
    But feel free to fabricate that you’re a radical advocate, arbiter and abrogator
    Someone will likely sort it later way past due date or however long it takes for you to reach the stage where you feel safe to reappraise your neighbour’s odd behaviour
    Classified as a yassified tongue in cheek satire that its your fault that you fall for such palpable set dressing fabrications for more war theatres"

  23. Whispers of Remembrance

    To my beautiful daughters,In a world full of evil at every turn.Don’t forget the wisdom you have learned. Remember to put God at the center of all you do. No matter what He will bring you through. God gives you discernment for you to use. Sometimes that means some we lose. Count your blessings each and every day. If none can be found, remember the air in your lungs and the words you can say. Do not dress to promote promiscuity.That kind of attention you will never need. Leave it for your […]

  24. Dear Son,

    Son, today I look at you and you're almost a man. Yet I can recall all the times I held your tiny hand. So precious and small and partly me. I never knew I could love so deep. Your baby blues would look back at me. Subdued by the warmth and everything you need. Now look at you towering over me almost ready to spread your wings. Oh how time quickly fades combined in a blur of years, weeks, and days.You may not need me like you use to But mama still has a job to do. No manger how many years go […]

  25. Homeschool Mama

    ABC'S and 123's Teaching young ones how to read. Next Geometry and Chemistry. Now on to ancient history. Back to letters and the sounds they speak. All the while a toddler is tugging at my knee. The dog needs to be fed and probably outside to pee. But right now I am chilling in ancient Greece and teaching about Socrates. The life of a homeschool mama isn't for the weak. Through every lesson, it's His strength we seek.
