Kafka for beginners. The sign says, "Infraction is punishable under criminal law." Photo taken half a century ago in Salzburg, but its timeless truth still holds …

Saw this one a few days ago. Maybe herons are preparing to take over the world. That's ok, they'll probably do better than we did. Or maybe they just like to pose.

I made this a few years ago, and post it from time to time at appropriate occasions. Painting by Artemisia Gentileschi. #womensday

Heron porn.
Photos recently taken in a park in Vienna.

I have made an audio recording of the "Grasshopper" short story I’ve written last fall, just 3 and a half minutes. Sorry, no sex, violence, tragedy, torture, pain and death in this one. (Think twice before listening to or reading the others, though.)

When a friend posts a picture of her cat, I have to repost it.

As usual I’m late, but still, this is worth reading: pluralistic.net/2024/01/30/g... — not only because of the fascinating and useful word enshittification, but also because of Cory Doctorow’s thoughts on internet companies, the economy, politics, and the world.

I often like it when things show up where they aren’t meant to be. Great tits, for instance, in the BoobSky feed. Will this little tit (photo is mine) make it there? (I know, it wouldn’t be the first one, and yes, I admit that I’m following that feed mostly for other reasons. Just trying to learn.)

I’m new and still trying to figure out how things work. If I admit to being an #author, does this post show up in the “Authors” feed? Btw, www.rc-smith.net — everything is free, but be warned, I’m a peaceful person and mean well, but there is extreme violence in most of what I write.

In case you could use a free powerful versatile programmable calculator for Windows, aren’t scared of Reverse Polish Notation, don’t mind using the keyboard instead of the mouse, appreciate open source … I’ve uploaded version 3.2 of Hypatia, www.hypatia-rpn.net

An out of the usual fantasy story written by a friend of mine, available for free: www.dunyazad-library.net/authors/a-k2... — I had the pleasure of helping with proofreading and editing. The cover uses a photo by Massimiliano Morosinotto, found on Unsplash, unsplash.com/@therawhunter

Unsplash is truly an amazing photo treasure trove.
