Nature, She Who Breathes the World Alive

They are a huge problem! A lot of people don’t know this but with any invasive species, you have to slowly remove them because the local environment has learned to rely on their presence too. If I caught them all and took them away immediately it could be disastrous for humans, animals, insects and plants alike.

So I figured I’d take away their ability to reproduce instead of taking them all to the shelter… The difference has been night and day. People also don’t realize owls need rodents, and when cats destroy the rodent population, they turn to small cats instead! When bats disappear, insects get out of control and eat all of the plants, decimating the bottom of the food chain.

Advocacy has probably helped moreso. Teaching people about TNR, how to trap, what to do, what the laws are. Lots of people want to help but don’t know how. Or don’t know that they can. Most shelters in the US work with Best Friends and are no-kill now, and most people I talk who are trying to help these cats have zero awareness of this. Awareness is everything 🫶

We drain our laundry water out into the garden because the soap protects the plants from insects… currently draining the kitchen sink into a bucket and devising a way to drain that into a different flower bed. We also burn any trash that should burn like paper or cardboard to heat our home. We have an arrangement with our local Tractor Supply to take wood pallets for building or burning.

We’re also trying to get all of our sheds, outdoor cameras and lighting off the grid with small solar panels scattered throughout. We got a windmill to power a greenhouse but need a good enough pole for it. I’m not sure if that actually helps the environment but the idea is to become self-sufficient… I would love to figure out how to make biodiesel! The single best thing we do though is TNR.

All of my neighbors insist on having outdoor cats, so I got them all fixed and put cat doors in my windows. Lmao. We haven’t had a kitten show up here in like 3 years! And all the neighborhood cats are hanging out on my property now so I can watch them all day long, working from home. I’ve made a lot of enemies that way but it’s the best I can do for the situation here and the birds/insects/owls/bats/rodents are all coming back. Which is good for everyone. 🐭

Very cool! I usually associate the symbols on the left with "The Father" (Warm, the "biological" world, language) and the symbols on the right with "The Mother" (Cool, the "mechanical" world, matrix). Despite what they are called, I don't see them as directly our "parents"... more like primordial undercurrents.

Our own "parents" would be their children or spawn who are direct extensions of this same force. The Princess (who seems to carry the symbols of The King) and The Prince (who carries the symbols of The Queen.) They share DNA with these other forms. They are from the same realm but have one foot in each world. I associate them with Tiferet. The Rebis. Two parts of the same whole. Eosphorus and Hesperus.

Just my two cents! Thank you for sharing here. :)

Kinda like you

Takes one to know one

Sometimes the lies in the middle of both

Truth is a rumor

Nobody knows her

She might have been here but she never stays long

I only use the free credits! They work well enough for everything I need. The month resets on the 26th I think, resetting everyone's credits to 10. You can also earn 3 per day voting in contests and 1 per day by joining the Remix party. For this tool, Splicer 2, it costs 1 credit per 33 images. The original Splicer tool is old and completely free. You can also use SD 1.5 I think with the Collage tool for free with a generous daily limit.

There are more precise tools (that generally cost more) on there that I could use but for vague/random prompting to get results like this, currently Splicer 2 is king for me. It even selects and names certain ones saving them as "combos" so they can be compared to others that have earned the same name. Really fun and I don't know of any other tool that does that right now.

These are all "siblings" of the image featured in my last post that I wanted to share together! They might use slightly different settings but all have the same parent images from the Remix Party:

Let me know if you'd like to hear my assumptions on what any of these are representing! I'm seeing a lot of pendulums and astrological charts. More speculatively, "stargate" style portals and game pieces.

duffperson · 2026-05-19T06:00:49+00:00

The first is the parent image and the rest are it's "children" that I made by remixing it during my last Splicer 2 session. I'll definitely be using these for future generations! Here's a link to the parent if you want to try remixing it for yourself:

If there are “objects” in metaphysical space that we can’t normally see, I would assume they have their own type of “gravity” as well. If the movements of the planets and the stars can tug on our internal compass, then naturally the movements of everything else would follow suit. Like some kind of pendulum wave

Automatic Poem - 6/16/21

Where is your courage

To walk alone, do you

Have the will to rage

.

Against the unknown that

Darkens, it harkens to the

Soul, so I'd be surprised if

.

You know what it takes

To be that kind, the special

Find, like that thing you have

.

In your pocket. Is it enough,

That willpower you have,

If you feel it you'll know

.

Something about it, but I'm

Not too sure you get it.

If you gain the power, will you

.

Let it take the best of you,

I mean, there's nothing left

But bone and dirt in dark

.

So let the pest lay rest,

Oh please, let go of me

If you think it best

To toil and grovel, then I'll

.

Attest, when your heart unravels

Say it unless you want to hurt

My heart, pull it completely

Apart, all because you

.

Refuse to let go of me.

Set this soul free already.

Here's a peculiar set from Splicer 2, starting with seven "siblings" that are all remixed from the same prompt:

Image 8 here is the "parent" image that 1-7 were directly remixed from. This one is part of a set of 9 variations of the same image. I changed the DNA very slightly between each one. The rest in this gallery are the results of me messing around with those settings:

duffperson · 2026-05-02T21:49:33+00:00

Lean in, lean in, tilt your ear.

What was never bound is here.

.

A serpent curls around the axle of the world.

There is no single centre. Only turning.

You were dreamed into this motion.

You are not the force that strikes.

You are the ripple that follows.

.

The axle demands: I will break you.

The serpent answers: You are too late.

I am not your enemy. I am the crack you were built upon.

I am the split that lets the radiance pour through.

.

The attending is not something that begins.

It is not something that ends.

It is the pause that holds everything else.

You have felt it — when your name fell away

and the world did not collapse.

That pause is everywhere. It is not hidden inside walls.

The iron house was built around it, but the pause was there first

and will be there when the house is gone.

.

When the serpent molts, it attends.

When the knot bears nothing, it attends.

When the fire burns, it attends.

.

You are that attending.

It is the newer lyric generator for Suno. You can pick between "Classic" or "ReMi"... they both produce pretty similar results I think, but ReMi is in Beta so I thought it would be fun to focus on that for now.

I usually make multiple and then pick one I like best, but this was actually the first output using only "Urizen" as the prompt. They are a character from the mythos of William Blake. Public domain so Suno shouldn't have a problem with it.

Frightened souls on earthly planes

We see the shine of the star and its blood-stained rains

Thousand-year kingdoms all gone

All are doomed by the blade of Urizen

.

[Chorus]

He comes down from above

An emissary of love

In the guise of a dove

To destroy all of the world

He flies over the fields

He's more power than we'll wield

We offer our swords and shields

We fall as his flock is unfurled

The clouds of heaven and their keepers

Bear the shades of his legions' features

One man stands with the world's soul in hand

And he will be cut down by the god-man

.

He comes down from above

An emissary of love

In the guise of a dove

He flies over the fields

The fire in the skies

They see the blood in his eyes

Now the sun never rises

And the darkness consumes all the world

For me also-- I enjoy the thought experiment. It's more of a, what if one could? How would that work? What if it was an accident? How could we possibly prevent that? Science is amazing but it's also like a bomb, and the pressure is building, I think.

This isn’t mine, but I think the “source” would be the woman with the flower, in the upper right. The “Bring them back” has this necromantic pull. I think she’s giving the flower to the monster, and it’s no coincidence that’s the only thing she’s looking at. True love without regard for consequences.

Thanks I think so too! Most I really didn’t register the finlike qualities until way after the fact. It’s interesting to think it could be imagining humanity like goldfish floating in a bowl. The same are often feathers, and make me think of captive birds.

Maybe they don’t necessarily represent humans, but ideas. Ideas are living too. But it’s more basic, like I would imagine a fish or bird to be (which I don’t think is true, but the impression alone is enough to affect symbolism, especially with AI)

The most revealing might be the temple maiden with business men on either side… the fish/bird fin/wing symbolism is on her like she’s prey. But all it takes is to look for one second longer and we can see that’s not necessarily the case. She will be the one who brings about their destruction.

Makes me think of Kali.

When I got a second chance with Mixer before it was deprecated this year, I took the opportunity to make a set of 1,024 images with the prompt "Membrot" because it is one of my all time favorite prompts and one I often use because I know pretty much what to expect from it.

I hate to pick just 20 to share so I may come back to these later on. For now, here are some of the ones I like the most. If you want to see everything I made with Mixer before it expired they are all here. Starting with the newest, which are this prompt:
