What looks to be indolent lethargy
May just be a case of recovery.
When vital energies dwindle to nil,
The truest answer lays not in some pill.
What recharges life's batteries the best
Is laying back and taking a sound rest.

How I feel when someone blocks me:

Thanks!

Engine Number 2

I got a few more decent snaps that day, including this one (one of my personal faves): "Engine Number 2".

I love taking cruises on lakes and rovers. I love being on the water.

That was a nice trip that day. It was a train/riverboat combo. I also love train travel.

Something for an album of river folk songs, perhaps?

Of course, in some ways, the degree of which I'm MOST proud is that from the University of Hard Knocks. By this point in my life, I must be a Master of Hard Knocks!

My brother-in-law attended RPI for a time.
My daughter attended HVCC and then Russell Sage and the Russell Sage graduation ceremony was held in the RPI fieldhouse.

I think of art as more of a calling than a hobby.

Does the bloody redcap count as "gore"? It's a pretty gory figure from Scottish lore. I've a few things featuring redcaps, including artworks, a poem, and links to an article and a short story.

As an artist who's been selling art to the public, in one way or another, since 1999, and who's been a published illustrator since 2007, I think some artists get too hung up on social media numbers. Those numbers aren't necessarily reflective of their accomplishments as artists.

It's #WomensHistoryMonth!
All month long, I'm doing a #31DaysPoemsByWomen #PoetryChallenge. Each day this month, I'm posting links to works by #womenpoets.
4/31 "Autumn Wind" by Rowena Bennett.

They say she wrote for children, but I like this one.

Boosting the signal on my latest poem "Snowflake" because I'm immensely proud of it (and not ashamed to say so) and I think it's a powerful piece with a much deeper meaning beyond the surface imagery.

Sometimes I say I that have "a degree" in science, but I really should stop that. In actuality, I have TWO college degrees in science, one Associate of Science degree (from HVCC) and one Bachelor in Science degree (from SUNYA).

Jingna Zhang @zemotion · 9h What is it about gen AI that seems to churn out so many ugly-hearted, selfish, self-centered people? Genuinely

Being an AI bro worshiping the god of generative AI has become a cult. For many of these AI bros, AI is their new religion. They are AI zealots. I also wonder if many of them were previously crazy-net trolls, since the language they use often reflects that of the standard troll.

àdúrà @AduratheArtist · 8h It’s actually crazy because the art community is probably the most welcoming.

I have associated with literary artists and visual artists online, and I can attest to the fact that visual artists are, on the whole, a particularly friendly and welcoming group of people. Writers? Not so much!
However, we visual artists are angry over our works being exploited.

There are more of the human bits in the Japanese versions.

With downright creepy scenes in mine tunnels and a mounting sense of tension, Rodan in particular has quite the horror elements of dread and terror.

You should. However, with the original Godzilla and Rodan, it has to be the Japanese originals (with English subtitles if you're an English speaker and don't speak Japanese). That's especially true of Godzilla.
