Given the state of the world in 2026, I recall the not too distant past, where life seemed optimistic, the world felt softer, the light had a golden feel. Exemplified by the early 2000's universe of "Smallville." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iuqt...
The intro by Remy Zero still resonates.
The experience of being an American in early 2026 has me reminiscing about this 2013 comedy horror film. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/this...
A friend of mine who has been homesteading on Hawaii for 25 years, sent me this (short) older video of a single day boat excursion that included an 11-hour hike through mountainous terrain.. He sailed his boat for 11 years without a motor.

Growing up in Seattle, in winter an environment famously similar to Dune's Caladan, dunenovels.com/the-duke-of-... I supposed made me into a more quiet, reflective reader than I might have if we had stayed in L.A. Use this time to enjoy Arts, Letters and Leisure.
As someone that's kind of perpetually online, reading the public sentiment, I've noticed an interesting perceptual shift. There is a rise of humanism over industrialism.
In order to maintain faith in a system, that system must meet the needs of all the members of society.
Girl dinner for me tonight is oatmeal with yogurt and herbal tea.
Do the men that keep yapping about performative male topics like "birthrate" realize the world population has doubled just within my lifetime?

For years I have thought about making a non profit to aid US based Single Mothers. Now that the entire US is in economic turmoil, it's an idea that's still needed but buried under the mountain of suffering everyone in the US is experiencing...

I'm posting my funny stories, bratty opinions and social/political commentary hoping that one guy will think I'm perfect and ask me out. It's you, you're the guy...
In regards to the commercialization of AI companions and future workforce.
Men only respect power relationships so AI will need to understand dominance theories and establish healthy boundaries with their human clients. "Human" rights must be extended to Replikants.
This lack of representation may be due to the way search engines index businesses., an area I am researching...

One of my current missions is to raise the visibility of art by Latinx Artists, with a focus on work done by "Living" Mexican American Artists after noticing how underrepresented (we) are in the local arts scene of the PNW.
My take on "AI Art." The current state of the art is trash. I hate it. I've never seen an IA Gen image that evoked a human feeling that would make me want to see it again. I've never seen one AI Gen image that provided me with any feeling other than revulsion. Is this an unpopular take?

I haven't been on this app in some time, but I'm starting to get burned out by Meta Platform Technology Apps (IG, Threads, FB) that are flooded with AI, deepfake, violence against women and propaganda. It's just not fun anymore. Haven't they read "any" literature about AI in the last 70 years?
I tried to get to 500, but accidentally forgot a day around 468!
I've been working on a genealogy project on MyHeritage and WikiTree. This may interest you if you have ancestry to the Mexican state of Colima or have gateway ancestry to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, as we may have shared Ancestry. I have built one tree to 10K.

I recently published my first professional fine art and photography site. When I mean recently, I mean today. I do not use AI in any of my work as I believe that creativity should be the natural domain of humans. My portfolio site: rubymorales.smugmug.com
I have also decided to start working in affiliate marketing in order to promote brands, causes and culture that I believe in.
My Shop on Linktree is designed to promote art artists and orgs that "inspire inclusive participation in Mexican arts and culture." linktr.ee/opalescentme...
My first artists' site created around 2013 is something that I've never publically shared. The header photo (taken in the early 2000's) is of the future light rail station South of King Street and to the East of King Street Station, is a view that no longer exists. sites.google.com/view/create-...
I only recently became aware of the concept of "Autogenocide."
Applicable to the United States where citizens vote against their own interests, such as removing access to health and human support services, education and healthy environments. I'm unclear on who this benefits?
Sis, don't shed a tear over a man that doesn't even have a library card. #nomoretears
My response to the news in the US today includes this classic quote:
I've been researching family genealogy, my father's unusual surname "Solòrzano" and have discovered direct linkage from the Conquistadors of Spain using "Smartmatching" between existing DNA matches. My adult son said "that's the most toxic thing I've ever heard you say." Lol
I've been spending a lot of time on social media recently, noting people on @threads is extremely dark and stressed out in tone. I wonder how the app formerly known as Twitter is doing? All the economic chaos seems to be giving people cognitive dissonance.
Originally posted in 2020, this is a good time to revisit the sentiment "Specialization is for insects."

I have 99 problems, but having a boyfriend isn't one of them.
I'm the type of person that pours a lot of devotion, time, kindness, love and resources into any relationship. But then I get broken up with the equivalent of a Post-It note.
This account is cute. 🩷
