@mlanger@mastodon.world @mo@icelandphotos.co.uk Those people have no sense of wonder. Their loss. I wept the first time I saw the aurora borealis.

@mlanger@mastodon.world @mo@icelandphotos.co.uk so cool! We had the chance to experience totality in Vermont a few years ago. It was incredible. An experience of a lifetime.

@limebar@mastodon.social I'm a writer. I won't use AI for anything. There is no place in creative work of any kind for AI. My cover art is made by a human artist. My editor is a human. My audiobooks are narrated & produced by humans. I have to believe that matters.

Just for my own curiosity... Have you ever named your car? And are there differences in the car naming practices between folks who describe themselves as creative people and those who don't? Please boost!

@fbz@infosec.exchange that's so cool! Are you thinking of grafting? We have what i call "new england ugly apples" on an ancient tree that came with our property. I think they were cider apples - small & very tart - but the tree is so robust, I'm thinking of grafting some other varieties onto it.

I've decided this must mean small FUCKING tendon injury... From my discharge instructions.

Bored. Bored. Bored. Annoyed. Bored.

*this rant brought to you by the letter 'left hand splinted and immobilized after hand surgery' and also many curse words.

And it's only been 5 hours since the procedure. The next few weeks will be irritating.

Shall we have a betting pool for how long LJ will tolerate the splint before deconstructing it?**

**I know better. Just fantasizing.

Ahoy pottery folk on fedi! Someone in my town is selling a randall kick wheel with a motor & dozens of plaster bats. She told me to make an offer but I have no idea how much. Any idea what a fair price would be? #ceramics #pottery #kickwheel #boostsWelcome

@mlanger@mastodon.world @DMakarios@theres.life The terrible irony for me as an author is without Amazon, i wouldn't have a career as an indie published writer. It still counts for half my sales. I don't/won't use DRM in my ebooks & have a note in each of them that if someone needs the ebook they bought at Amazon free of that ecosystem, i will send it directly.
