In 2015, at 109 he created tiny clothes for Phillip Island Penguins who needed woolen jumpers in the wake of the oil spill to help prevent penguins from swallowing the oil when they attempted to clean themselves.

In society as a whole, people who are artistic and creative tend to be not only undervalued but devalued, and it starts from an early age. During our childhood and formative years we are told to get our heads out of the clouds and to be more practical and to only focus on the logical side. We are indoctrinated to believe that only careers that focus on math and science is valuable to the world. We can be accused of being flighty or kooky when we showcase ourselves and our beautiful creations. We are told that our creativity holds little to no monetary value even though we are the ones who have the vision to create and design the things that people buy and covet. Not only does our work make people think but we also have the power to actually change how people think and view the world. We tap into the emotions that a lot of people are too afraid to face unless forced to, and we help them to understand and to come to terms with those feelings through our creative endeavors. We provide inspiration, innovation, therapy, and understanding. They need us just as much as we need them to survive. Always remember that we provide an essential service and never underestimate your worth and place in society. Because honestly, who wants to live in a world without the arts and creatives? A society without art and culture would lose it's heart.
Hi guys, my name is Clem Zephyr! I'm new to Tumblr and I created this account to share my music and hopefully have it resonate with someone
I'm really new to the music thing and I'm looking for new ways to connect with people and share my work. I've literally never made a Tumblr account but here it goes. Just a little bit about me, my name is Clem Zephyr, I'm 20 years old and I love music. I make music to help me process my feelings and help others. I make electronic, pop and synthwave. I hope you like the songs I'm about to share with you.
Why's The Bed So Cold? is my latest song. I think it speaks for itself. I hope it might help someone who might be going through something similar.
Never Be The Same, is a very happy song and it's about overcoming challenges and staying positive.
These songs are part of a larger passion project about healing, and staying positive. I hope these songs resonate with you and feel free to like/follow for more updates. I have many other songs over the next few months and I can't wait to share them with you all!
(If send on Venmo please note it for necessities )
Hey All please please feel free to save the Infograph below and share around outside this group as I need all the help I can get!
I made a post a few days ago to help me get cleaning supplies which I so desperately need as it’s allergy season, pollen and dust collecting !
As well affording medication for my arthritis as my body is flaring up from all the stress with my landlord.
I paid a portion of my rent on the first but I’m still behind ( just got done fighting an eviction case and it was dismissed 2 weeks ago and I don’t want to be served a 14 days summons again as I can’t keep up with rent & my needs + linking GFM in the comments so folks can directly donate there )

Did a month long project called IndieCember uplifting Indie creators of various media including animation, video games, music, comics and concepts! Check it out!
As anyone who has been conscious for the past ten months knows, ChatGPT is capable of amazing feats. It can write essays, compose sonnets, explain scientific concepts, and produce jokes (though these last are not necessarily funny). If you ask ChatGPT how it was created, it will tell you that first it was trained on a “massive corpus” of data from the Internet. This phase consisted of what’s called “unsupervised machine learning,” which was performed by an intricate array of processing nodes known as a neural network. Basically, the “learning” involved filling in the blanks; according to ChatGPT, the exercise entailed “predicting the next word in a sentence given the context of the previous words.” By digesting millions of Web pages—and calculating and recalculating the odds—ChatGPT got so good at this guessing game that, without ever understanding English, it mastered the language. (Other languages it is “fluent” in include Chinese, Spanish, and French.)
In theory at least, what goes for English (and Chinese and French) also goes for sperm whale. Provided that a computer model can be trained on enough data, it should be able to master coda prediction. It could then—once again in theory—generate sequences of codas that a sperm whale would find convincing. The model wouldn’t understand sperm whale-ese, but it could, in a manner of speaking, speak it. Call it ClickGPT.
Currently, the largest collection of sperm-whale codas is an archive assembled by Gero in his years on and off Dominica. The codas contain roughly a hundred thousand clicks. In a paper published last year, members of the CETI team estimated that, to fulfill its goals, the project would need to assemble some four billion clicks, which is to say, a collection roughly forty thousand times larger than Gero’s.
““Everybody’s talking these days about these generative A.I. models like ChatGPT,” Goldwasser, who now directs the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing, at the University of California, Berkeley, went on. “What are they doing? You are giving them questions or prompts, and then they give you answers, and the way that they do that is by predicting how to complete sentences or what the next word would be. So you could say that’s a goal for CETI—that you don’t necessarily understand what the whales are saying, but that you could predict it with good success. And, therefore, you could maybe generate a conversation that would be understood by a whale, but maybe you don’t understand it. So that’s kind of a weird success.””
Moments with you
Captivate my sentiments
Halting time in a bubble beguilement
Effecting us in the vacant interim
Blips on the radar screen
Exhibit drops of gray rain
Sighing our subtle resonance
Trickles of stoic air
Keep our purpose imminent
Hovering clouds highlighting
Our footprints in shadowed diligence
Emerging from the translucent cocoon
Our wares of tranquil unanimity
Appear on a cloak of weaved divinity
Aspects of our world in sky blue threaded tears
Woven in amongst strings of daffodil colored cares
Our resilience pushing past a blackened silk patch
Winding along the edges of brown braided denial
To touch the dreams of the emerald Nile
Crafted in a delicate cashmere slash
Soft pink gossamer intermingles with lavender shields
Heaven's Creator fastens the clasp
In the canary haze of the cape's demeanor
Spreading love across fractured believers
Painting hope in emblazoned letters
