I built this tool a year ago but I feel like Mastodon folks would like it
The "Weird Old Book Finder"
Type in a search query, and it'll find one randomly-chosen public-domain book that matches the query -- and present it for immediate reading: https://weird-old-book-finder.glitch.me
Why only one book? To prevent the paradox of choice! Just start readin'
Can't promise every book will be weird, but most are
@haikushack The DS106 Daily Create is an ongoing web-based invitation to create something each morning through crowd-sourced prompts. See: https://daily.ds106.us/ and https://daily.ds106.us/about/ The Daily Create is now on its 4,225th consecutive day (I believe I have that right) of prompting folks to be creative with art, words, design, humor, etc.
So I'm a bit of a Trevor Horn fan and was watching The Buggles, Live at The Music Hall, Dallas, and blow me down if the multimedia backdrop of Video Killed the Radio Star isn't played inside @cogdog's old #ds106 tv! #ds1064lifehttps://youtu.be/tiRuNuFrFLU?t=1713
how very nice! I virtually bumped onto a friend online!
I was just updating a presentation on teaching for an undergraduate class, and I found a photo to use... and who was it by ? @chendricks for a #DS106 daily create! ...Attributed with pleasure!

The sounds of Saturday
The washing machine churns through its cycle
A cat hisses, protecting her space in the sun
The kitchen sink glugs as the washing water empties
And the wind whistles though the trees outside
"Write here because ideas matter, not authorship. Write here because the more robots, pirates, and single-minded trolls swallow up cyberspace, the more we need independent writing in order to think new thoughts in the future — even if your words are getting dished up and plated by an algorithm."
-- James Shelley
Interesting post, with lots to think about in terms of ideas. I suspect some will push back on writers getting lost in the mix as their words linger on.
