The way I feel when I put this t-shirt on.
I'm transported to standing in front of Christy in a small town niteclub.
In wonder at his voice.

Home and under many blankets and in a very old t-shirt that says
Aslan
'Waiting for this Madness to End'
An album of theirs.
One of my favourite Irish bands.
Saw them live a few times.
Christy Dignam, the lead singer died in 2023 at 63.
Christy had an incredible voice.

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

Twice as many children die in car crashes than from all pediatric cancers combined. This does not count the long term health effects of breathing exhaust, brake and tire particles or the loss of physical activity and independence from living in a world hostile to traveling outside of a car.

Masking

Too high.
Too low.
Too early.
Too late.
Too much.
So I hid in the shadows because the light saw my truth.
A small soul with a short shelf life.

a stony path running alongside small trees at different angles. with long grey beard lichen growing everywhere. really unusual to see so much.

a stony path running alongside small trees at different angles. with long grey beard lichen growing everywhere. really unusual to see so much.

Peaceful wideness.
Pastoral mildness.
Inside a little outcrop of blackthorn trees.
Every branch covered in the healthiest grey lichen we'd ever seen.
