Writers: here are ten free and easy ways to add a dash of visual interest to your blog posts without resorting to AI imagery (which signals to readers that your blog post is probably also AI and there’s no need to bother reading it):
1) A thoughtful photo you’ve taken yourself — a nice sunrise you saw, a cool angle spotted on vacation, your pet curled up on the couch, flowers. Play with your phone photo app’s filter settings to nail the tone. It doesn’t need to be particularly related to the post, it’s related to you as a person.
2) An image from Wikimedia Commons that’s somehow related to the subject matter — there are unfathomably many, you can search by keyword. Remember to credit. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
3) A screenshot of a scene you made in a sandbox game such as Minecraft or Animal Crossing
4) A scene you made with toys such as Lego (you can also use free Lego design software such as Bricklink Studio) https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/main.page
5) Play with the effects in whatever image editor you have access to, using your own photos or free-to-use images, to create something a bit abstract and avant-garde
6) Even if you can’t draw or paint very well, you can probably make some pretty cool abstract or collage imagery with whatever art supplies you have around. Dampen some paper and randomly dip watercolor paint onto it and see what happens
7) Those stickers you stashed and never used? Yeah you can make something with them. If they’re individually cut, you don’t even need to peel them, you’ll still find the One True Way to use them one day, I’m sure
8) Shelfies. None will dare question your competence after they see you have a real paper copy of Subject Matter Tome Volumes 1 through 6
9) You can get a lot of mileage out of compositing pre-made video game assets into an image. A good place to start is Kenney’s free and generously licensed 2D assets: https://www.kenney.nl/assets/category:2D and the Tiled editor which is specifically meant for assembling images out of video game asset tile sheets https://www.mapeditor.org
10) the most ridiculously amateurish thing you can scribble on a post-it note or in MS Paint is preferable to AI imagery because it clearly signals a real human cares about the post.

Until I wrote up this #review of Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, I hadn't realised how little fantasy I've read in recent years. I have mixed feelings about this book. It's ambitious and does atmosphere really well. But it's also overlong which creates pacing issues, and I have high standards for any work playing with time, which this novel didn't meet. This is only a recommend for readers with specific preferences.

High Times
Un trozito de donuts, una cucharada de personajes carismáticos y mucho amor hacen de esta novela visual el juego perfecto
Juliette died last night. She was 13.
In June I posted a photo of her in a yellow unicorn party hat and called it her "second" birthday. A year before that I had spent a weekend doing some kind of CPR on her and writing her heart rate down every 30 minutes, certain she would not see Monday.
She saw fourteen more months. She walked, she ate, she ran around the flat like nothing had happened.
That post: https://dol.social/@dima/116782367532858418
Thank you to everyone who wrote something kind under it. I went back and read all of it again today.
This photo is from a boat on Lake Lucerne. A third of her life she spent here in Switzerland, and on every walk it was obvious who was walking whom.
She always got her way. She never backed down from anything, not once, not until yesterday.

Menaville
A colleague's accent brings back a childhood memory. I open a Commodore 64 emulator and go looking for Menaville, a city that never existed, and the freedom that did.https://my-notes.dragas.net/2026/08/17/menaville/

More #fantasy ! It's fair to say I enjoyed Martha Well's Witch King much more than Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, though it is probably also indicative of the development of the genre in the last 20 years. It was surprisingly and pleasantly different from both Well's prior Murderbot Diaries and a lot of standard fantasy fare. Definitely recommend, and I'm putting the next in the series on the list.

A Future Identity: Away With The Flat
In between of things, while the project is going slowly, I've been thinking about refreshing the look of the samerion.com website, along with giving the project a whole new logo.
