Finally took some photos of the Joros in the yard. Beautiful (and scary as hell. LOL).

After procrastinating for 10 or 15 years (maybe 20?!) I finally started an Etsy store with my photographs.

Marietta church's sign of love and inclusion stolen A sign conveying messages of love and inclusion was stolen from a Marietta church, leaving the congregation concerned but resilient.

.....and it was stolen AGAIN. I don't even know what to say. I'm heartbroken and disgusted and sad.

In some ways, I feel like A.I. is just another tool, like digital instruments are. I know plenty of people who don't think techno, darkwave, etc. is "real" music. I think it just depends on how we use them...and again, transparency.

I also "created" an AI ad song for promotion, and I LOVED it...but I decided to scrap it, and try making my own using garage band, which I had never even attempted to use. It was beyond challenging, because I don't play instruments. It's pretty cheesy, but it was a creative, growing experience.

Lying in bed depressed after a bad sprain, I started experimenting. I have had VERY mixed feelings about using AI for art. Created using photos of me, add some digital changes by me, and we have a collaboration between my AI and myself. I'm okay with that. Also- transparency. This was SO fun!

Things have been hard. I deserve new pj bottoms that make me smile. So what if I'm 50. The end.

*side note, this photograph is not on my website as I never got permission to use it (as they were on a moving float...). If anyone knows who these people are, I would love to meet them!

This is a photograph I took at Pride in Atlanta YEARS ago- before gay marriage had been made legal. The thought that this could all be taken away makes me so incredibly sad and angry. Please continue to support politicians who support rights for everyone.

WHEN IS SOMETHING GOING TO BE DONE (besides prayers....ugh, clearly those don't work.). I'm so sad and angry. And I'm tired of being sad and angry about things that don't have to f###ing be this way. WTAF. My heart goes out to everyone suffering today or any day this has happened.
