"The Windcats run in the corn, the weathercats are in there" was a Northern German saying when strong winds shook the fields - and the cats were said to take children who came picking cornflowers. 🎨 Maggie Vandewalle #WyrdWednesday
The whole time I was hoping my silence would fit yours and exclamation marks would gently float across time and space so that boundaries would be crossed. ~Anna Akhmatova

jessamyn@librarian.bsky.social · 5d agoI 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
AI escaping doesn't mean it's an unstoppable supergenius, have none of you owned a spaniel
A couple of courses I will be facilitating through the Irish Writers Centre. Both are online. The short story course runs for 6 weeks and the publishing one is a one-day event. irishwriterscentre.ie/courses/the-... irishwriterscentre.ie/courses/from...
"I know that ghosts have wandered the earth. Be with me always–take any form—drive me mad. Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!” ("Wuthering Heights") Emily Brontë was born #otd 1818

I’ve found out that if you google Zebedee the AI overview will pull through a description of the biblical Zebedee and an image of Zebedee from The Magic Roundabout.
The face of an ant under an electron microscope. Fascinating.
A company sent a mailer out in the '50s that said your opinion was important and since then y'all have lost your goddamn minds.

Dr Danny Bate@dannybate.com · 2w agoI rarely write about Homer, being daunted by the topic, but since the poet is having a moment, here's a piece about the alphabet, writing, and their absence in the epics. Inspired by a chat with @viewsproject.bsky.social, I hesitantly suggest a theory for that absence. dannybate.com/2026/07/24/h...
Above Coal Mine. #Photography by Haruo Koyanagi (1955). Star trails over the slopes of Mount Fuji facing true north. The concentric circles in the sky reveal the movement of the stars around the North Star (Polaris) due to Earth's rotation. The lights are climbers carrying lanterns.
