I’m trying to just do art regularly, for fun, and not care about how good it is. So I present my #starterpacknoai because I had to join this trend. Here I am in all my smudgy, scrambled glory.

Some neurodivergents hate folding and putting away laundry. I’m the type that hates putting away groceries. Like, I just spent all my energy FINDING the food and navigating the aisles in a strategic way. Can’t I be done now?

I got home yesterday from the @scbwi Utah/Southern Idaho spring retreat, and promptly took a 2-hour nap. Then I made sushi and pizookie for my kid’s 15th birthday. Today I’m baking gluten-free bread. After that I need a little break from food preparing. 😅

A day at the Great Salt Lake is hot, dry, and stinky. But from the hike, their geological history unfolds across the valley. From the salt-encrusted shores, the ecological imbalance is clear. Across the sands, a young girl marches for the lake—and those who depend on her.

I forced myself out of the house today to walk to the library. No music. No audiobook. No podcast. Just wind in my hair and thoughts swirling to calm.

“In order to shoot off one email per week for a year, ChatGPT would use up 27 liters of water, or about one-and-a-half jugs… that means if one in 10 U.S. residents—16 million people—asked ChatGPT to write an email a week, it’d cost more than 435 million liters of water.”
AI doesn’t just require tons of electric power. It also guzzles enormous sums of water.

In 2025 I want to get better at posting and commenting here. The problem is I’m not really in the swing of work yet after such a nice break. So for now, you get a pic of my dog, Graceling.

Basically reposting for myself. (And writer-artist friends I convince to join Bluesky.)
Seeing some of the new arrivals posting about Bluesky being boring.
I hate to break it to you, but if you find Bluesky boring, that's 100% your fault, because the only person working behind the scenes here to make it not boring is… you.
Here's some of the “work” that I've done and recommend… 🧵
