Notes by Jon Little (they/them), in chronological orderNotes by Jon Little (they/them)

I am lazing about on my front porch, watching the world go by and nod off. I wake up and am chased around the house by a hoard of large bees and yell to my wife to open the kitchen door as I try to outrun these beasts so I can run into the house and slam the door in their face. Naturally she objects, but I holler louder and then they get into my hair and start winding themselves in tighter and tighter balls of hair. My son grabs the hose to hose me down and I wake up and my neighbor's weedwacker is making strange angry buzzing noises as he trims his sidewalk edge.

Consider this an open-source writing prompt. I ain't touching it.



Thanks! I burst out laughing at the weed whacking part!
Wow. That's the first time I saw click bait do a vanishing act ...
You won't believe what happens next!

Ghosts in the Machine ... uh, I've got that ... thing I have to do ...

 
FORUM
Get A Room  (13+)
We've been played. And it's our own fault. Let's talk. In the parlor, not the bathroom.


April 11, 2026 will go down in history as the day we anointed President Vance. Even Trump is not as scary. But I don't wear colors; my 'truth' isn't dependent on what side of the fence you are on. Yes. I straddle the fence, I'll cross the fence if it is the right thing to do. But I'm not a fence-sitter.

We need to talk, not shout or rant. So let's get a room and talk. Lightly moderated; but moderated.

If the owners of the joint shut me down, so be it. It's their property and I respect that. But I also respect those who come here only to learn to write and share those experiences. Let's leave the public newsfeed to discussions of ... public interest.

I will leave this forum as open as possible; but I will choke it down, when necessary.

So. Let's get a room and talk. There is a lot that needs saying — as adults.

I have just reviewed an excellent work-in-progress.

This is a lovely idea. Thanks for sharing.

I got tagged from the March newsletter "Blogging Bliss Newsletters Published"  by wordsmittyMail Icon and was a bit confused — I'm terrible at blogging and couldn't remember what I had posted lately. So I took a look, thought to myself, "oh, yeah, ok" and then scrolled down a bit, running through older memories. And got stopped cold. February 2, 2025. Aika. I played the video I had posted. And the tears started up again.

This is for you, Puppy.

Three small things I'm grateful for today:

1 — the nightly train horn calling out "ALL ABOARD!", even though it likely wakes up everyone else in town;
2 — my first large mug of coffee when I wake up in the middle of the night;
3 — kadishiravenMail Icon, who introduced to me the idea of three small things off gratitude
And ... One thing I will never be grateful for ... My slider input. *of, not off
Thank you to the entire community for helping make the upgrade to the site a success. I'll admit, I wasn't happy about it — I am someone who resists change (my son could tell you stories!). But the one thing that continually amazes me with this community over the past five years is just how much of a "community" this is.

Thank you!

Yeah. You might want to just pass on this, but somebody put it out there, and I couldn't pretend it wasn't it there.

Regardless of how you feel about AI genned stories, those who use AI detectors to detect AI genned stories generally do not understand the tech they are using to ... detect tech?
Is this the tech version of "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck...?"?
