Waiting for the kids to come trick-or-treating... #Halloween

ALT A grotesque witch-like figure leans forward in a dark doorway, extending a claw-like hand. Long, tangled white hair frames a scarred red face with a hooked nose, pointed chin and bared, yellowed teeth. Light from the left catches the face and fingers, while the background remains in deep shadow.
I'd love to see your #Halloween pumpkin #art

Why write when you can just use AI?
According to Eve Arnold, "great decisions, great thoughts, great ideas come from writing."
The real power of writing, says Eve, is in how it transforms the writer. It’s not necessarily what you produce but who you become in the process.
A monastery. A weary traveller. A comedy night with a very peculiar rule.
The Monks Who Laughed at Numbers - my retelling of a classic joke.

Is Diet Coke good for you?
It certainly was in a recent case when it was prescribed by a doctor to dissolve a large mass, or 'bezoar,' in a woman's stomach.
The New England Journal of Medicine reported that in June 2026, drinking Coke dissolved the mass completely after 2 days.

40 years of veganism, demolished by one troll: “What about lions, though?”
So I started living like a lion.
Apparently, “but lions do it” isn’t a recognised legal defence.
“I Ate My Neighbour’s Baby.” A satire.

Maybe you don’t need a niche. Maybe you need a recognisable way of seeing things.
My favourite writers can make almost any subject interesting.
I don’t follow them because they always discuss the same thing. I follow them because they notice things I don’t.
Everybody says “Find your niche and stick to it.”
But imagine meeting someone at a party who says, “Sorry, I only discuss sourdough. Politics, music and the human condition are off-brand.”
We’d find that bizarre.
Yet online, we call it a content strategy.
What are the best vegan superfoods for beginners?
1. Blueberries in porridge.
2. Lentils in soups for protein and fibre.
3. Garlic and turmeric in curries.

How much money can you make on Pexels?
In theory: You can earn tips via PayPal, Ko-Fi, etc.

For income? Not worth it for me.

I heard Greta Thunberg had gone to Paris to attend the student #riots there. Not sure whether she's there in support of the students or to protest the #climate harm caused by all those burning cars and buildings 🤣🔥🌍

They say people are fundamentally good.
That's not my experience.
From what I've seen, people are fundamentally selfish.
Am I wrong?
It might sound obvious but I think sometimes people forget that we are not our online personas. You are not the mask you present to the world.
And it can be immensely liberating to remember that.
When the paintings aren't the art...

I really like this composition. I also hate that the portrait-oriented frame is on the right like that and not in the middle. The tension is almost unbearable.
Just been updating my Carrd profile. I'm always looking to make improvements and would love to hear your constructive criticism...
