Thanks to everyone that came by and said hello at AWU this weekend!! I deeply appreciated seeing folks and talkin’ with y’all. Gonna get readjusted and get back to art.

A maned wolf and a river otter are making eye contact as they run towards the right of the image. Behind both of their heads are golden halos with orange spikes looking like sun rays surrounding the halos. The background is in a celestial style with stars of different shapes and a gradient of the sky from darker sky blue at the top to pale blue below. At the bottom of the piece are some blue-gray clouds. There’s a golden border with stars at the lower bottom corners. In the upper left corner is a side profile of a moon with a human face with its eyes closed. On the upper right corner is a sun with a human face with eyes closed. There is a golden outline around the maned wolf and river otter.

Mail in voting ROCKS. An Election Day holiday sounds good until you remember that tons of ppl work during any holiday & the majority of ppl in jobs that still wouldn’t get PTO are most likely to need it. Mail in voting is accurate & easy. Also: RANKED CHOICE would make a big difference, too.

FOR GOD'S SAKE please stop thinking that making Election Day a holiday will do a single goddamn thing to improve voter turnout, you sound like fucking children. We have to make mail in and early voting easy and widespread. That's what will make a difference. I swear I'm going crazy.

I didn't have a name for this robin, but I've since taken to calling it 'Bobert' after Sean Hennessy's name for the one who visits his garden. For my part, this was inspired by 'my' robin in Ruskin Park ; 'Donwell', as I call the place, after Mr. Knightley's estate in Jane Austen's Emma.

Detail from the same work as in the quoted post: the bright orange of the robin's 'red' breast is now painted in, and the piece is complete.

T o o h o t t o p a i n t I'm laying my ambivalence with the piece squarely at the door of this, the fourth UK heatwave this year.

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
