Just griping. I was asked to remove or hide behind a content warning any AI art I feel like posting to the Mastodon instance (Elekk.xyz) where I made my home when it looked like Musk was going to turn Twitter into his own personal fiefdom. That’s looking increasingly unlikely, but I have met some cool folks on Mastodon, so I still use it. Sometimes I post there things I don’t think would fit somewhere else – like my friendly wombat, here. ...

Starfleet Dance Party Got myself a cameo in “Star Trek – The Webcomic”. Author and artist Mike Farinas offered a chance for an appearance in the comic as some random Trek walk-on part, I liked it and shared it and sent in a head-shot and eventually showed up as a doomed security officer in the current episode. I assume I’m doomed, since I’m a redshirt, but haven’t actually DIED yet, so… there may yet be hope :) ...

These are the Days of the Week I’ve been playing around with new names for the days of the week for a few months now. I don’t understand why we have to honor the Norse pantheon in this way, or the arbitrary homage to the Sun and the Moon. When I was taking Japanese, I was struck by how similar our day names were to theirs. 日曜日 – nichiyoubi – Sun Day. 月曜日 – getsuyoubi – Moon Day. It wasn’t a coincidence. Japan adopted its version of the Western calendar during the Meiji Restoration, as it adopted so many Western customs. Thankfully, they discarded the Norse pantheon for the other days in favor of elemental names, with gold (or money) reserved for Friday. ...
