Monsters. Yes, I believe in monsters. Human ones.
“Monsters. Yes, I believe in monsters. Human ones.”I wrote that 28 years ago, and it [and the essay it is in] are still relevant today. Please read, “Too Many Kids Like My Bill” by Gabi Clayton; January 18, 1997; by Gabi Clayton. https://gabiclayton.com/BillsStory/TooManyKidsLikeMyBill.html Added note: I’ve tried to stay away from calling people evil and …
Curiosity. Playing with ChatGPT
I was curious about what ChatGPT would write about me and then Alec, so I asked.
Note: at the bottom of the ChatGPT page it says: “ChatGPT can make mistakes. Check important info.” True, there are some errors but this is unedited and not corrected. We may at some point after I post this comment about some errors. Or we may not. Consider that some of this may be a work of mechanical fiction.
House of Un-American Activities and RESIST by Gabi Clayton, 06-01-2025
I first created “House of Un-American Activities on 02-06-2017” (see below) – less than three weeks into the first presidential term of Donald Trump.

If This, Then We Are Most Likely Screwed
Yesterday I shared a post on Facebook that simply said, Today, 73 million Americans depend on Social Security every month. I am one. Right now there are 85 responses, 23 comments and 8 shares. A friend’s comment included a reference to “people who worked all their lives.” and that got me thinking. I replied: Alec and …
Looking Toward Tomorrow and the Future of America
Rising for me today: On January 18, 1997, one year, eight months, and ten days after our younger son Bill committed suicide after a bashing based on his sexual orientation, I published an essay “Too Many Kids Like My Bill” which is in part included here: There is so much grief with the death of …
About Viewing ‘Original’ Art
When I shared this image on Facebook on November 16, 2024, Alec commented: The expressive lines at the top show up more clearly in the original than here. But if she chooses to print it she can control the color and contrast.
I responded: Regarding the ‘original,’ my art is created digitally and every screen and monitor has its own settings of hue and saturation and contrast and value …
