A Chicago is a correct unit of city measurement.

Yeah, me too. I already have 🎃 stuff up year-round, so what's a little Nightmare before Christmas vibe (wrong number of days but oh well, more candy)? My stitching is pretty sloppy (esp on some of the earlier ones), but I'm choosing to view that as part of the charm. It's more spoooopy that way? 😆

Here's the WIP... a mix of new felt & upcycled spooky fabric from masks a friend made for me back in 2020 (washed, of course, lol. we use better masks now but wanted to preserve the cool prints🎃). I have a bunch of dark brown felt (from a buy-nothing group) to stitch them onto for pockets & backing!

Oh noooeeesss! 😬

Yeah, I decided to keep it simple today, and work on some old projects I've been putting off (instead of the new & shiny... like the Samhain "advent" pocket calendar I started last fall. Hopefully finishing it b4 Xmas advent is up & use it for both until I make another one, lol)

Sometimes you gotta chase the squirrel & strike when inspiration hits (I often cook something & throw it together while it's fresh & shiny so it doesn't get lost in the drafts folder) but other times, you gotta know when to fold 'em and stick to your plan? Or at least finish what you started already

Me: You've got plenty of unfinished projects at home!
ADHD🧠: Shiny! New! Bagels! Crunchy! Rye! Chips!
Me: NO, FOCUS. We have a calendar! And like 64 half-finished drafts!
ADHD🧠: 😩💔

TBF, I'm still gonna do it, but NOT TODAY 😈 I'm already behind on editing stuff that's already written or shot (1/2 my drafts are written but need photos, the other half have photos but aren't written) Don't need to make more pending work for myself, at least not until I finish a few other things? 😆

As the literacy rate declines, you’ll ask yourself why the quality of life continues to deteriorate in ways large and small, and in almost every instance the answer will be: because people stopped reading.

6) Art is, in the end, a way of taking a feeling out of my head and trying to jam it into yours from across space and time. There may be some tasty junk food made by AI eventually, but without intention, our appetites to make will be unmet, and we will eventually move on. 6/6

5) AI, which is good at bullshit, may thrive because we have made a society run on bullshit. But in the end I cannot believe we will all become nothing but consumers. People MAKE. An not in the Randian "makers and takers" sense, in the yearning, stretching toward the infinite sense.

4) Ages ago I noted there's just a vast gap in experience, in language, in the very ideas between the very rich, the techbros, and the rest of us, as deep as, say, THE ARRIVAL aliens. We do not use words with the same meaning. Don't even have the same value in and from the human experience
