I had wanted Acting the Party to grow organically. It never did, for whatever reason, and that’s fine. But I also now realise that big businesses don’t do that.
Money follows money. Huge amounts get pumped in and supported.
I’m still proud of what I achieved alone.
With all the news about Grok I suddenly thought I’d better go to my dormant account on X and delete any picture that has a photo of a child.
Should I also do adults?
Have also deleted views from my house.
Thinking Facebook isn’t safe either.
What a world!

I want to have 500 sound effects in this pack but I've got to 335 and run out of things around the house to record / hit my skill limit on digital sfx. Any ideas for sfx you would like to see in a free game asset pack? #gamedev
Currently recording a bunch of random sound effects around the house so you don't have to. Opening & closing doors, jangling keys, dropping heavy objects into a glass of water. That kind of thing.

Pigeon and rook, Urban Shadows series, are still available. Lovely small original artworks, signed by myself, and an affordable small artwork.

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

Looks like a good deal.
Maybe there’s some #sbs - ers who’d be interested.

The film ‘WALL-E’ comes to mind.
The number of children injured or killed by cars while walking or riding a bike has fallen steadily since the 1970s, but CDC researcher note that this decline is not because streets are safer, but because fewer kids are out and about in the first place.
Kids need freedom. Dangerous roads make it hard to grant it.
Bigger cars, distracted drivers and worried parents mean fewer kids are roaming freely.

Is there anyone on the planet who isn’t currently walking around with a Beach Boys’ tune in their head?

Now that’s a legacy.

An ex-boyfriend and I used to lie on the floor for hours and hours listening to the Beach Boys.
We didn’t stay together and this song always makes me wonder about him.
I’m sure he went on to have a lovely life and although I didn’t love him, I still love the music ❤️

Why would anyone stay on X?
It’s just so toxic.

Yesterday evening.
The sunsets in May in our garden produce the best light.
Have a beautiful weekend wherever you are.

One day about 18 years ago I was looking around a Yoko Ono exhibition at the Berkeley Art Museum when an old wall phone in the gallery rang. This phone was part of the show. I looked around & I saw that it was just me & a security guard in the gallery. He said, “oh my god you need to answer it! 1/5
