All of my books are 100 percent human generated. I buy human generated stock art for the covers or hire real, live, breathing artists. I don't use AI for advertising, art, writing or anything else. My audio is generated by me or by Lori Barkin (pro actress/narrator).

Finding fertilizer for a garden has gotten more expensive since covid. I made the switch to composting my own animal manure and working it in. Not doable for everyone, but some of us gotta try.

We only see those here in NM as they migrate through. They don't stay, but they are beautiful. I was able to get my sage to blossom early due to warm weather in March. They feed on the sage and lilacs. Waiting to see if they like the honeysuckle!

Spain is crushing it ⚡🇪🇸

Solar is delivering the equivalent of 27 nuclear plants during the day. Pumped hydro stores ~3 nuclear plants worth. Batteries already stepping in.

This isn’t a generation problem anymore. It’s storage scale.

Energy scarcity → energy timing. #BESS #Solar

Easily. They have great colors, but somehow look more like a roadrunner than a graceful bird!

US Congress passes 10-day extension of surveillance law amid Republican infighting Trump repeatedly demanded that Republicans unify to pass a longer extension of the Fisa warrantless spying law

We don't want warrantless surveillance. Get rid of it and quit passing extensions! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

They refuse to stand up to him.

Congrats! That's huge!

Nonsense. They are one of many retailers. I sell as many books at Kobo. Now there's Bookshop.org too. Apple has always had a great channel to readers we just need to utilize it.
