No, Adobe, I will not be paying more for your "upgraded" subscription that includes massive amounts of AI garbage. And I don't appreciate you trying to make that change automatically.

Good morning, Skybirds

Today I will attempt to strike a balance between finishing what I need to get done and not triggering a return of yesterday's migraine

Goodnight, Skybirds

May you avoid the bad things

Good morning, Skybirds

This may be a two allergy pill day.

Goodnight Skybirds

May you be surrounded by beautiful things

Good morning, Skybirds

It's going to be a gorgeous day, and I just happen to have made plans to go on a hike. So that worked out well.

Goodnight, Skybirds

May your practice pay off

I am studying my French vocab, and I am slightly disturbed that the word to describe an airplane taking off - décoller - can be directly translated as "unstick" or "unglue"

I have some questions about airplane maintenance in France 👀

Good morning, Skybirds

TGIF

Goodnight, Threadsters

May your gas prices be reasonable

When I'm backing the pope in an argument, things have gone sideways in a big way.

Wait, are people really saying if gas prices get any higher they're going to get a horse to ride to work?

Have they looked at the cost of keeping a horse? 😂😂

(Bicycles are your friend. And if you think a horse is less exercise you also haven't ridden one 🐎)

Mostly white cat with black and orange spots, sleeping on owner's legs, which are covered by a tan and red blanket

Good morning, Skybirds

I really need to get up, but my cat is simultaneously sitting on me while purring, and angrily chattering at the pigeons on the balcony, and it's too funny to disrupt.

(cat tax - obviously not the current situation)

Goodnight, Skybirds

May your instructions be clear

Direction Determines Fate - The Refracted Creative A two-directional poem, with very different outcomes!

I made the mistake of opening my website, which never ends well. But I think I've fixed the functional issues, and I've added a new poem!

I particularly like this one, so check it out, and leave a comment if you like what you see :)

Picture of a hand holding a small Philips head screwdriver with a black handle

The easel I bought came with a whole damned screwdriver to assemble it - I guess we've upgraded from Allen wrenches.

Now if they'd also included functional instructions for putting it together, I would've given five stars 😂⭐⭐⭐

Good morning, Skybirds

I had to get up and moving this morning because I got a delivery notice for a package I forgot about.

Two brand new pairs of jeans that fit perfectly and have no holes anywhere.

Who's in charge of reminding me not to wear them while on a horse?

😂

Goodnight, Skybirds

May you be safe from idiocy

Dear web designers

DO NOT CHANGE THE LANGUAGE OF THE WEBSITE SOMEONE IS VIEWING UNLESS THEY ASK YOU TO

If the language preference is set in the web browser, USE IT

I am so over getting search results in the wrong language, having websites randomly switch to Czech, and other language shenanigans

So the "Rule of Three" is an AI "tell" these days, apparently.

Darlings. STOP. Do you know why AI does everything in threes? Because WRITERS have been doing everything in threes since forever. Our brain likes lists of three things. It feels natural.

AI WAS TRAINED USING THE WORK IF REAL WRITERS

I desperately want to work on my balcony today, but the sun is in entirely the wrong location ☹️

Good morning, Skybirds

Today I am reflecting on the purpose of allowing customers to choose a date and time to have something delivered, if you intend to bring it whenever the mood strikes regardless...

Goodnight, Skybirds

May you accomplish great things

Good morning, Skybirds

Everything is closed here today, so I guess I have to find a way to occupy myself

🤦

Today's unhinged Glassdoor suggestion:

Turfgrass horticulturalist

Interesting idea, but definitely not biotech

Good morning, Skybirds

I'm just gonna sit here with my breakfast and question why I'm already awake

Goodnight, Skybirds

May your weekends be long

Good morning, Skybirds

I have nothing on the schedule until Thursday, so I may need you all to step in and help me remember what day it is...

Goodnight, Skybirds

May all your lessons be good ones
