"If you've never had a black cloth bag pulled over your head, I don't recommend it...

... but the bag isn't just for me. It's also for them. With my face hidden, it's easier for them to pretend I'm not a person.

Which is why they put it on."

A windy fall day;
Caught in the spiderโ€™s webโ€”
Tufts of pampas grass.

If you have a #YouTube channel, they are rolling out an "Automatic Dubbing" feature. I'm concerned about how YouTube might use the voices in my videos to train or proliferate #AI, so I'm turning it off. You may wish to do the same. Here's how:

Five geese flying low
Across the orange dawn;
Early October.

After the rain,
Crows glide in one by one
To the same oak tree.

A still Fall morning.
At the top of the tree a Jay callsโ€”
Buttermilk sky.

"But I'm a monster. They made me one, in these dark little rooms choked with fear and anger and despair. That's where we come from. Fed on secrets, fed on shame, until it's the only thing we have appetites for." -- from The Love Talker.

Again, the woodpecker raps
on the house wall.

When you write & sound design your own #audiofiction:

Me: So he fires 2 kinds of lasers at the gelatinous hellbeast while a marching band sails by on a dirigible.
Brain: You're going to design that?
Me: Fiddle-dee-dee. I can't think about that today! I'll worry about that tomorrow!

A quiet midnight.
Acorns strike the tin roof.
First day of autumn.

In the early morning sun: a spider
Repairing her web.

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

September morning;
Two blue jays dive into the brush
Startling a bevy of doves.

Mid-September morning.
One by one, deer cross the road.
Cricket song everywhere.

Noisy morning.
A plane circled. Mowers & leaf blowers. Cars leaving all at once.
Dogs barked from all directions, heard but not seen. No wildlife at allโ€”

Except one foraging squirrel, who, perhaps aware of the shortening days, felt she could not afford to sit this one out.

Across the freshly mowed lawn
Footprints in the dew.
