The well shall not
Dry up
The river shall not
Stop running
So long as we are clouds
And our hopes are drops of rain.

The world keeps getting shittier, but I finished a couple more cute needlepoint projects so I'm sharing to both brighten the day and show off. 🙂

A couple of weeks ago I finished and posed a key fob with was a black cat on a lavendar back ground. This week I finished the same pattern, but made the cats pink and set them on a darker pink background.

Photos with comparison under the cut:

( compare the kitties )

Looking at them (as well as at the photos) I do like the black cats on the lavender background better, but the pink are cute too.

I also finished a different key fob, with a different design. Large photo under cut.

( cherries! )

The photo came out crooked, lol. The cherries are a very pretty design though, so I put that on the bag I carry around. The cat fobs are on my key ring. 🙂

I think I may have walked five miles today in while playing Pokémon Go, and my legs are not going to be happy about it tomorrow.

I am trying desperately not to care about the shameless money-grab that is special backgrounds, but alas, it's not working very well.

Anyway, Happy Pokémon Day/Weekend/What-have-you, the trailer for Pokémon Winds and Waves also got to me more than I wanted it to, Nintendo clearly has my number on speed-dial.

Current Mood: exhausted

It's been ten days since I updated here?!?! Aaaaaaack!

Er. Well. Nothing significant to report, really. Oh, aside from giving a signal boost to this post on

dw_dev, about Dreamwidth's stance on "AI"/Machine Learning/what-have-you. There's even more detail in this thread on

dw_dev on the post just before it, both of which really shed light on some of the actual good uses of Applied Statistics Machines.

Anyway, as a result of Dreamwidth's public stance that they won't accept any AI generated art for anything site supported (styles, mood themes, etc), I went ahead and made a statement of my own on

moodthemeinayear. Shortest version: AI generated mood themes will not be eligible for the Dreamwidth points giveaway.

Time for bed readiness now, I think!

Current Mood: recumbent

birdfeeding is a community started on January 1, 2023. It's all about birdfeeding, birdwatching, and other topics relating to birds. It also touches on nature in general, and observations that may effect bird activity such as local weather. Both text and image posts are welcome. Now is a great time to join as hungry birds are easy to attract with a feeder.

Community resources include posts about birding events, nurseries that sell seeds or plants attractive to birds, bird identification apps, the benefits of birdwatching, and other useful materials. Check out the anchor posts from Three Weeks for Dreamwidth.
