you do not have to use generative ai "art" in your blogs because there are websites where you can get real, nice images for free by

too many people are doing a great disservice to their writing by garnishing it with generative-ai (artificial intelligence) - ethics and values aside (lol), it looks tacky and it cheapens the words around it.

For my poems I had tried to use these at one point, when this was just starting, a couple of years ago.

But then I decided I did not want it. It did not look right. I could make it to look right, but did not want to.

I was using Ghost then, so I used images from unsplash instead. It was great!

Tasks and projects

Art is a project. Connection, community building, counseling–all of these are projects. When our work is project-focused, we’re not a cog in a vast machine. Instead, we’re a contributor with agency, someone who is working with and for the agenda we’ve agreed to.

The Bad bosses try to have it both ways. They are stingy with agency, authority and compensation, and insatiable when it comes to effort. But smart leaders understand that given the chance, most of us would love the chance to be seen, to contribute and to be part of something.
