The Cold Moon was a very cold sight here, temperature around 5°F as it crawled up Crestone Peak. The fresh snow is glistening most beautifully in the moonlight tonight. (1/2)

friendly reminder: ai being pushed so hard and so vehemently into education is not because "this future is inevitable and we have to adapt"
it's because companies have invested billions into this technology and they need everyone to use it to make a profit.

![About this Poem
“One morning in October 2023 I was shocked to learn that a thousand migrating songbirds had died in a single night by flying into the large windows of McCormick Place [Lakeside Center] in Chicago. Later, when I sat down to write, I began to think about all the different people who would never hear their songs. The windows have since been covered with a special film to help prevent collisions.”
