Reminder to everyone living with smoky air right now: DRINK MORE WATER. You're inhaling particulate even if you can't see it, your body needs to flush that crud out, and it needs water to do so. You're probably gonna produce more mucus and that's annoying, but it's helping clean out the crud.

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

Working on yet another personal project (based on wacky dreams) which may never see the light of day, but thought doing faux woodcuts for the illustrations would subvert the usual expectations for the stories. This one is for a microfiction entry in the batch I'm working up.

A digital illustration intended to look like a traditional relief print. The image has stark black outlines, a greyscale background, and two figures from slightly below the waist down. Linework resembling the texture of stray ink is scattered across the whole image.

Both wear lolita fashion and the low camera angle focuses on their shoes and the hems of their skirts. The figure to the foreground wears a minty, blue-green dress and shoes with lace-topped socks, and faces away from the camera. The figure to the background wears a pink ensemble and shoes with an apron. A spider dangles from a thread from one side of the skirt's lace.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
