Rob fell and his glasses gouged a divot in the bridge of his nose. I've glued it back together with the superglue/disinfectant combo and sent him off to take Youngest to a concert in London anyway. Head wounds bleed though. Bleeeeeeeed.

@secretgarden72.bsky.social

Sembraré en tu piel mis besos,
delirios de dulce ardor;
seré veneno en tu aliento
calma en tu corazón.

Labraré mis caricias
en la sombra de tu voz,
y en tu pecho, estremecido,
dejaré mi vibración.

Cosecharé lo prohibido
en suspiros sin razón,
tejiendo versos
y anhelos👇

Discerning

showing good judgment; discriminating; judicious; tasteful

When you confidentally accuse an objectively normal-looking video of being AI, I genuinely think less of you than someone innocently being convinced by a half-decent AI video.
Not a lot less, but not insignificantly.
(This is not pro-AI or a claim of my discerning expertise.)
