I like making things and finding stories. I feel it's important to understand that things are just complicated sometimes. 毎日の事には美がある。

Bad (but kind of awesome?) selfie from assessments last night. I had to make sure my hair looked not incredibly awful after taking off my helmet. Damn do, I miss derby!

今日、1年以上の隙間後、ローラーダービーの練習を参加しました。この辺の、私が今以前参加しなかったリーグです。真面目でローラースケートや体を利用するのはすごく楽しかったです。
まさか45歳のアタシまだダービーギャルなの？私の人生は仕事と猫の親をすることを収めるだけでわないか？
いや。心で感じる。スケートする方がもっといいです。

今日もう一つなのサンフランシスコで撮った写真を投稿します。これは「Monterrey Cypress」（ヒノキ科の部分）です。写真を撮った時は知らなかったけど、この木はカリフォルニア州の北以外、自然に生えません。けれども、とても綺麗だから、他の国や場所で植えてあります。

If you follow me you know I can barely draw a decent rendition of a photo—but in my main chosen creative field, this resonates hard. Why on earth would I *not* want to do the work that sustains me?
gAI is so existentially threatening not because I care about my job or money -- capitalism dictates I have to care, but it's more money is how I continue to do art, which means I continue to want to live.

AI stuff feels opposite. Much AI art has the form of traditional art - you get drawings, videos, etc - but without an artists' intention.
As is the case with sampling, there's less perceived craft. There's not, however, the intent behind it. There's no artist.
It's art shaped, but is not art

This feels of a piece with the modern movements expanding the question of what art is, though if inverted
Compare to Duchamp's "Fountain" in which something that is NOT typical art is presented as such, by intention and setting

The "liberals have to learn how to live with people we diagree with" line kinda stops making sense in a world where the central disagreement is whether disagreeing with them should be allowed at all
“We are under invasion from within, no different than a foreign enemy, but worse—they don’t wear a uniform.”
This is the President of the United States, who ordered the entire leadership of our military to sit and listen to him, speaking a few minutes ago.

Bluesky is a wonderful place that has flourished in large part because of its artists and intolerance towards facists/Nazis. The Updated policy currently going into effect Oct 15 could fuck that up and we should be very vocal about it. Here are some specific things to mention in feedback (THREAD)

when we talk about censorship of sex and sexuality, I'll be honest, this is the kind of thing that keeps me up at night above even my own work being blacklisted. at best right now we've got "it's okay if it's in an educational context" but who decides that, and how
tbh reposting this on here (there aren't a lot of kids on here) feels a bit futile so I just want to champion Scarleteen as a really incredible accessible resource for kids seeking inclusive sex ed (+ other stuff re: teen safety) and if you can get it into the hands of kiddos now that'd be good
LGTBQ+ youth disproportionately experience homelessness compared to their straight and cis peers. In the US, up to 40% of unhoused youth identify as LGBTQ+.
That’s why this series was created - to provide support, essential tips, and resources to youth who are so often overlooked by the system.

Trump and Dems are officially meeting Monday.
This is after Trump cancelled his last meeting with Democrats because they were holding firm on immigrant and transgender protections.
The Republican budget has dozens of anti-LGBTQ+ riders.

先週、サンフランシスコに行きました。色々の植物写真を撮ったけど、その中で一番気が入ったものはこれです。海の際や風吹いてある丘の地に育つ通り、葉が強くて、少し革のようのものです。でも、その冴えない景色から、そんなに鮮やかな花が出ます。

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people.
His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority.

So, I’m nobody on here, but I can at least be part of a statistic, hoping it leads to change.
During the proposed #BlueskyBlackout2025 against over-broad #bskycensorship re: consent in art, I want to speak out. This policy as written has serious problems, and I hope we can fix it before it’s live.

実は、英語がどうゃってうちの脳に消除した場合、まだ日本語で考えと欲しいものを表すことが一応できるはずです。けど、まだ新聞や小説は辞書を使わないと読むことができません。私の会話でのある言うことはデコボコだと思います。けれども、スムーズではないのに、できます。脳でのある私の声が時の半分以上日本語であるのです。
もしかして、認める条件は、他の人との即時の会話が成功にある状態だかもしれません。そんな条件を認めると、私はまだまだでしょうね。でも、人々が私が書いたことが理解できれば、ほぼ同じことではありませんか？
