Back from the woods (and mildly over-caffeinated), Iโm bringing you a triple feature: a warm squirrel vignette, a charged chapter in the alien archives, and a deep dive into how AI could serve us all without taking the wheel.

๐ฟ๏ธ Wilbur, Always
A gentle, pine-scented vignette starring Wilbur the squirrel โ or possibly all squirrels, depending on how much coffee youโve had. Inspired by our recent camping trip and a certain tree-dwelling troublemaker.

๐ The Suspended One โ Chapter 2
Lexiโs work in the Library of Exhalations takes a turn when the air between her and co-archivist Rโthax thickens with more than just dust. Expect alien archives, strange volumes, and tension you could slice with a well-sharpened bookmark.

โ๏ธ Constitutional Integration for AI in Human Systems
An artifact exploring how we might weave AI into essential human systems โ health, safety, governance โ without losing sight of transparency, accountability, and human agency.

๐ฑ This Weekโs Trees
Three trees planted to balance the pixel art, caffeine-fueled typing, and mild squirrel gossip that went into this weekโs issue.

Thanks for reading, and for letting my words (and the occasional squirrel) into your week. Iโll be back soon with more stories, artifacts, and other strange little things that keep our shared world humming. Until then, may your books be good, your coffee strong, and your squirrels friendly.
