#bliss

If I were to do the #BlueSkyArtShow with the #Abandoned theme, I would not show the photo. It would be that of a #child, 5 years old, probably 4, eating from the rubbish dump.

Is there an #ode to food? Oh man, I’m double hungry now. Breakfast time.

Dear #writers #artists #musicians all #creatives, please help me collect a number of reasons why we need the #Arts in our daily lives. I am trying to create a list to send to a certain group of people in #Guyana.

What do men think? I’d love to know! neenamaiya.substack.com/p/the-proper...

I got things botherin’ me so I calm myself sayin’ : go with de flow…go with de flowww…

This!!

Meanwhile, in #Guyana fb.watch/xL7Ru8hV4X/?

I LOVE this calendar! Each month is a piece of art by lisi-tana (from #Guyana, just like me). On the back, at the end of the month, I write quotes, thoughts, ideas. At the end of the year, I’ll have a beautiful reminder!

I’m still on Twitter so I can see what’s up, basically. I just can’t seem to figure out how to see *all* the news here…I only find some of it. Yes, me an’ technology ain’t always in sync. Priority right now: lunch for my Aged Ma.

I’m going for a #walk. This is my way to fight the algorithm which feels, more and more, like that greedy, glutton, hungrybelly*, longbelly* plant in that film, The Little Shop of Horrors. *words from #Guyana, top of South America but we’re also part of de #Caribbean culture.

We have a saying in #Guyana: T’ief t’ief from t’ief make God laugh. One thief stealing from another thief makes God laugh.

Walking makes me write a hundred #stories in my head. Breakfast now. Then to accompany my Aged M. for her walk.

Came here to mumble about worrying about my Aged Mother and found I’d made a blunder online. 😔 It’s hard to watch my mum struggling with pain. As her main caregiver, I see & and hear it all 24-7.

Sunday mornings should be #books & music mornings.

Wow! I never knew this!

Funny (odd). Where are the East Indian, Muslim #women #writers of fiction & creative non-fiction from the West Indies/Caribbean? In #Guyana, there’s Ryhan Shah. Amina Gafoor focused on writing essays. She’d started working on fiction, she showed me the 1st chapter, but she’s gone now.

Still writing about #hands. Here’s a li’l video of my sister cooking roti. (Yes, she brown, & me pale like house lizard - so it go in Caribbean fambly, one modda, one fadda.)

Yes!!

Been scribbling more notes about hands, thinking about how much kindness we can dole out. Have you ever been fortunate enough to receive help from others when you needed it most?
Here’s what I’ve written so far about hands: neenamaiya.substack.com/p/arguing-wi...

Ken Corsbie, one of the pioneers in Caribbean theatre, multi-talented, has left this world. Rest in peace, Ken. #Guyana #Arts #Caribbean www.temponetworks.com/2025/02/04/g...

A bit of what I wrote about hands on #substack:

The Secret Lives of Animals on AppleTV (I think it’s a BBC production? Not sure) has grabbed me because it shows them surviving! And the footage is simply marvelous.

Arguing with my hands! neenamaiya.substack.com/p/arguing-wi...

#plantainchips calling me soooooo loud. I’m fighting off the craving cos overindulging ain’t good.

Haha. Me!

Hi #booklovers, a fun question: which character in a book you’d like to spend some time with right now?

I love you guys for putting DeepSeek & ChatGPT to the test, asking them questions they are too embarrassed to answer. 😁

Drop this into your #wordsoup today: “Me ah-look good!” I’m searching really hard…thoroughly…everywhere. #Guyana #Creolese

It SHOCKING that DeepSeek allegedly trained their tech on ChatGPT without asking for permission! Imagine if OpenAI had stolen other people’s work to build theirs… Oh. Hope they all devour each other, just as they’ve been working on devouring us.

😄😂
