I listen to my singing bones, Speak in creaks and groans. Time keeps slipping away, Even as I ask the day to stay. My candle flame burns low, Less than half its remaining glow. Half a century has gone by, Happened in the blink of an eye. It has been a privilege to me, To become the man I could be. The road has been long and hard, Both soul and body are scarred. Yet I continue on my road, Never stopping or slowed. Until I reach my destination, Reuniting with all of creation.

Daily Deviations Round UP: May 2023

On seeing the Rainbow DA Logo... It’s almost impossible for me to describe how the rainbow flags, the rainbow sidewalks, the rainbow discord logos make me feel. i’m sure so many others feel the same way. Remembering the day when the death penalty was revoked for being gay (OK, i was only five so i was a bit fuzzy about what it meant!) Or the days when you had to go down a back alley and knock on an unmarked door to go to a shop selling sex toys. Or getting beaten up at school. Or a thousand other things that are still going on all over the world. Just because we feel safe in Rivendell doesn't mean orc armies aren’t marching on Gondor. But it makes us value Rivendell all the more. Thank you,

#AI #AIArt Hey all! So! AI art... How do you feel about it? For me, I have a hard time deciding how I feel about AI art. I will scroll through Deviantart and find incredible and commendable pieces that are just stunning. Deviantart's algorithm puts into my feed the kind of stuff I like for the most part. The other day I ran into this beauty (Poppies field, by TheNocturnalSpirit) Stunning, right? Well, as you could have foreseen, it was generated by artificial intelligence. When I first saw it, not knowing that it was generated by an AI, I noted how commendable the skill of the artist was, how thick the strokes of paint looked in the clouds, and how vibrant the foreign flowers appeared. I thought of how much skill must have been developed in order to create such a great piece. When I realized it was made by an AI, I felt like the 'painting' lost some of its value. Knowing that some program made it by being trained on what other art pieces look like (while impressive from a
