Walking into an empty space
Is opening it up
People start flocking
The rest is no man's land
Locked in an untaken path
I haven't found ways to open
Rooms and spaces just for self
It feels like I'm running a hotel
Cause time and time again
I'm at the other end of others'
Muddled sense of length

2023 "Personal space" by Smilksta

Just shouted at by a dog owner whose off-lead animal ran up to me uninvited and started toying with my drone that was about to take off.

Her claim was that me shooing the dog and moving away was "animal abuse".

I understand that we need to share our public space with different users but how has entitlement reached the point where just not wanting to interact with a dog qualifies as "abuse"?

1964 Couple enjoying a moment of relaxation

The image features a man and a woman in what appears to be a casual outdoor setting.
They are both seated, with the man on a bench and the woman standing behind him.
The man is engaged in smoking a cigarette while holding an ashtray, possibly indicating that he is the one being attended by the woman.
There's no text visible in the image.

1983 A Surreal Scene of Tech Chaos

This image is a vibrant, surreal representation of a person amidst a chaotic array of electronic devices and cables.
The central figure seems to be interacting with the cluttered environment, possibly trying to make sense of it or control it.
The artwork is rich in detail and color, creating a whimsical and chaotic visual experience that invites viewers to ponder about the relationship between technology, creativity, and personal space.

Some think it’s silly that I have a no-fly zone for spiders on the ceiling, especially in the bedroom. But I caught a shadow in my half-awake eyes and one of them was dropping down, inches from my face.

I hope you didn’t survive the pillow that launched you across the room. I don’t hate you but I don’t want to hug a spider with my face either.
