Adam and Eve, No Naval Buttons
I've put this story together by L.C. Schafer's suggestion, who thought AI bloopers could be a fun thing (thanks, LC!). When I was writing my "Who's Eve 1.0?" story, I needed a good illustration of Adam and Eve in paradise. I didn't want to go with the images of famous classical paintings as all of them have Adam and Eve depicted with naval buttons, which as we know is a mistake since they were the first people created by God, not born of a woman, and couldn't have had the placenta.

Stupid is as stupid does
Fair warning: this is an irresponsible dark humor story I overheard on the Russian internet. One little boy named Oleg was not doing well in school. He never did his homework, couldn’t remember anything, and was horrible at math. His teacher didn’t like him and kept telling him that he was good for nothing. He was so stupid, she said, that the only thing he could hope to become was a janitor, if even that.

Fearless Girl Lost to Charging BullTop Story - February 2024
Remember how I was placed right in front of you at first? How mad you were about that, looking at me with your blood-shot eyes like you'd charge right at me if you could? You then thought and now I agree with you fully that me challenging you like that was actually changing your meaning?

DALL-E Struggles
Yesterday (February 6, 2024) I needed to create an image of a colorful pinwheel to illustrate the Circuit of Culture model for my today's class. I am paying over $20/month for the ChatGPT subscription that now includes the latest version of the DALL-E image generator. So I decided to put it to work. I will just give the screenshots of my numerous attempts to get it right and provide them with commentary and explanations as needed.

Summer Garden Omelette
My brunch today: eggs sauteed with a fresh tomato, a piece of toast with the blackberry-blueberry-elderberry jam I made last summer, fruit salad and herbal tea. As I was making my eggs, I remembered a story from my youth and felt compelled to share it.

To Tell Or Not To Tell
I first wrote this novella in five parts for the Confessions community where it did not get a lot of reads. I was hoping it would do better in the Chapters community so I had it moved here. And now I am creating an index story so that all the parts can be accessed in one place.

My 2024 Aspirations for Vocal
Just like many other creators here, I was contemplating hard if I should enter the #200 challenge. Self-reflection is useful only when you need to change something drastically, and I am quite content with what I have achieved here so far.
