The image depicts a natural scene with a variety of wildflowers. In the foreground, there are several plants with delicate white flowers, each composed of numerous small florets, giving them a feathery appearance. The stems are slender and green, with some buds that are yet to bloom. The background is filled with a mix of green foliage and other wildflowers, including some with vibrant purple blooms. The overall setting appears to be a forest or meadow, with a soft focus that blurs the background, emphasizing the white flowers in the foreground. The lighting suggests it is daytime, with natural light illuminating the scene.

A digital painting of a balding and bearded man wearing a medieval cloak, holding a skull under one arm, a walking stick in the other, and a quiver of bones on his back. He appears to be hiking on a desolate and rocky hill. He has paused to look across a misty valley at a shadowy mountain topped with a dark structure with a bifurcated top that resembles a pair of horns. There is a small light, perhaps a window, in the center of the structure.

After the Code of Conduct and the Mediation process, the Cooperative Development Guidelines now have a Governance Document that can be used by any Organization/Foundation/Collective/Community/Project that wants to have a governance based on participatory, equity and permacomputing/accessibility principles.
Its time for us to finally start building participatory digital commons, that are developed by the community and for the community and the Governance document is part 1 of doing just that. (Decision making and Structure will follow after this).
I am also excited to announce that @queerspark has also been listed as a collective that adopted pieces of the Cooperative Development Guidelines.

The image depicts a fantastical forest scene with a woman in the foreground. She is wearing a flowing blue dress and has her hair styled in braids. Her posture is graceful, with one hand gently touching the ground and the other raised slightly. The background features a large tree with a face resembling the Cheshire Cat from "Alice in Wonderland," with a wide grin and cat-like features. The forest is filled with large mushrooms, glowing plants, and a deer standing in a clearing. The lighting is ethereal, with a mix of blue and warm tones, creating a mystical atmosphere. The scene is rich in detail, with various elements contributing to the enchanting and otherworldly feel of the image.

Haaretz has reported that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu supports a plan to confine Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to a so-called "humanitarian city" in Rafah, a plan critics have compared to a concentration camp.
Under the proposal, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians would be admitted into the camp after undergoing security screening.
"Give them Ben & Jerry's, for all I care," Netanyahu has said, a source told Haaretz.

What did you use to generate this? I've used Coagula Light in years past to generate sound files from images.
I also learned from experience that, if one wants the sound file to resemble sweeping pitches rather than white noise, one needs to optimize the image first with a Glowing Edges filter (either monochrome or controlling for color) and possibly adjust contrast.
I just used a quick and dirty written java program to "render" the wave file. I render the luminance of the image which works well with most of my images.
(And it is also an interesting sound effect)
