I'm ready to run away..

..just go out.. and go.. for as long as it takes to see beauty, feel free..

I think it's time for a fugue.

Y'all remember those scenes in several futuristic movies (Back to the future comes to mind) where people are walking around and personalized ads are shown to them - yeah.. that is not the part of the future I was looking forward to.. but I think we're there...

Tonight, I went to a #portrait #drawing class for the first time -

• the 1st #sketch I just drew, studying a picture.

• the 2nd sketch I drew upside down - it's a fun technique that forces you to look at shapes..

• the 3rd sketch I scribbled with pencil and used the eraser in addition to strokes with pencil..

It's supposed to be Beethoven 😅

This experience was wonderful - meditative, therapeutic.. What's your favorite thing about #art

What do people think of bookshop.org?

I'm for anything that's not #amazon

Bookshop.org’s new platform helps indie bookstores sell e-books https://www.npr.org/2025/01/28/nx-s1-5260929/e-books-independent-bookstores-bookshop-org

I am perpetually bothered by the weight of something being beautiful determining its

• importance

• acceptance

• worth

• ability to make an impact..

..in my own psychological makeup, too..

Some days there will be stimulating conversations..

Other days, your most meaningful interaction will come from a bot who joins you screaming

My privilege is that I do not have to accept jobs from MAGA affiliates - like Carrie Underwood.

I would not like to imagine how this will look in the future.. but people who performed for Hitler seems like a similar image.

@dch - this made me think of you - not the Linux sysadmin part, the "digital overlord" part

I say:

BRING BACK SHAME!!

• unfortunately, the people who need it, are completely unaffected..

• sigh

I scheduled my gynecological checkup..

When I mentioned my dread of the exam, my daughter (15) observed:

"Why, at the end of the #Barbie movie, is she all excited about her gynecologist visit then?"

me: "Because she's never been."

😂 😅
