Is AI accelerating book bans?

I kind of like what that guy said in that movie, but this is different...

Sometimes I feel like my white male cat who passed away a while ago was actually smarter than my cute little black female cat is, but nothing is anybody's fault. 

She keeps wanting me to open the door to check and see if the rain is still coming down out there. And that's not the only thing she's done, but I'm not getting into it right now.

Maybe you could just blame moods on the erratic weather.

 Blame it on the rain... ⛈️

Can the payoff from oversharing still be optimized in any way?

I got this song in my head today at some point, and it's been hanging around. It'll be gone soon though.

There might be mudslides over yonder.

It really is raining a lot harder than the weather forecast predicted when I checked it earlier.

So much water.

It is raining very hard.

It feels like nature is in charge.

Actually, the little artworks are really something.

I'm considering the idea of getting back into Jane Austen.

Some people seem to want us to go back a few centuries, so why not?

I was considering this as a book club option, but now I see that was probably just silly!

By the way...

I was thinking that not meeting each other in the most magical and adventurous college years may really have been for the best for some people.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE MEN

I like this book club idea.


I only bought four in my forties but I read more than this when I was younger!

Thank God!

It feel like it's sinking in that fixing my diet and shrinking my body is not going to help with addressing more pressing problems.

Now I feel like the past has passed.

I feel like a new frame is beginning in a comic strip, or possibly a whole new comic strip is beginning.

This man has intense opinions.

I just saw something horrible about the Trump administration using terrible weapons on immigrants and hey, listen to this Men who Protect Women's Peace Exist guy.

I think that would REALLY help me live up to my fun and vivacious potential much more quickly!

It is raining very hard outside.

Makes me feel like nature's in charge.

To think, I had them in this book ever since the mid '90s, and I didn't discover them until today!

I have a blueberry sage tea that's good to drink while reading them again.

This was part of my youth as an adult.

Hey, I feel better about this life when I'm on a road trip. I wanted to read all this stuff about Thoreau and Enerson and start feeling more in touch with nature. But I also just need to jump in my car and drive places sometimes. Why am I thinking about some boys or young men rolling around in the dirt? Scuffling? Oh well, can't figure it out right now. I'm driving past a sign that says Ditch Witch. I have to save women from The Patriarchy! I am constantly being exposed to all the cracks in the system and I try to save lives with my presence and earnest intention even if it's not all up to me. I'm on winding roads. People are in rehab. People are in hospitals. I'm not doing so well. I need a meditation practice. I need to figure some more stuff out. Violence against women is a big problem on Earth right now. I'm traumatized. My tire blew out again. I need to run into the woods. Is somebody following me. Or is it just some nails from the development of new houses that are piercing my tires. Well, I'm getting my presence of mind back again. I can call AAA. I'll figure it out in the future.
