I could not get by without art, books, coffee, song or twisting my fingers up in all the things.
I can get by without AI. So can you!
Most of my friends are some sort of makers. I came here to keep in touch.

My back-up is braids. Any sort of protective style. Maybe a silk scarf or wrap?
My hair hasn't been able to get nowhere near as long as yours since thirty years gone. My curl sometimes gets to giving Juliana Margulies:

Sometimes when my hair is damp I put on a wool hat and that wicks away moisture and lets the top of my hair dry straight, or mostly so. Sometimes I make hats at shows.

Not bird art, but it flies when not nailed down.
Yesterday, Sunday morning I found Butterfly Jesus; hallelujah, found again, buzz again. He had been misplaced for two+ years this time around.
A shite picture, but you get the gist:

Self portrait from my classic series When Matt Daytons Attack!
This was the back/overflow bathroom at Lallo's Pizza in Brunswick, MD which doubled as a staff bathroom. That is a staff's toothbrush (sorry, not sorry). Don't worry I washed my hands before and after.

When I lived in MD I used to see this band, Clamfight, a few times per year (or more if I was lucky). Clamfight is from NJ and also Philly. Here is a tee shirt I got for a quarter to jazz up for one of their shows.
This slogan is by NJ about NJ. Maybe they invite the hate...?

A RANT ABOUT NO RESTAURANTS!!
I came up with "The One Flaw" theory of advertising in the mid-late 1980s. Here's how it works:
Include in copy one little flaw that the receiver's mind 1) notices, 2) evaluates as no big whoop and 3) accepts on that basis - letting in all the rest of the message.

My father would do a painting of, say, Perkins Cove. He would make prints and then sell them in a little shop (one of the yellow buildings on the other side of the bridge) there, about 15 miles from his studio/gallery.
I bet you've got some goth-like shop you could place some crows.

Had to look up etiolated. Fun fact about me: I own four dictionaries.
I got a weird question for you. Why might a person be able to understand an Irish accent and not be able to understand a Scottish one?
Don't think it's your wheelhouse, but then you just whipped out poetry potting the sky.

One of my neighbors is going to give me a "Peanut Butter Tree" that she grows from shoots. I'm going to keep it in a bucket on my shady-ish patio and hope for the best.
When you bruise the leaves, they smell like peanut butter or roasted peanuts with a bit of sweet.
