What’s the weirdest coincidence you’ve ever experienced?
No weird coincidences to report. Some strange ones and some lovely ones throughout life but I can’t think of a weird one.
But my pondering head has been pondering the good and bad of witches and wizards recently and how witches are seen as malign and worrisome creatures and wizards as benign and benevolent, in general.
Language shapes my unscholarly thinking. When a witch bucks the accepted trend she is labeled as a ‘good ‘or ‘white’ witch. When a wizard goes rogue he is considered ‘ wicked’
But it seems to me the default is female witch=bad, male wizard= good.
While creating art I use sketching, painting, collage photography etc to produce an image. Artistic Interpretation if you want a definition. I also use digital manipulation and computer generated imagery. Artificial Intelligence
A.I and A.I
For many years in the production of Medical Images I used skill and radiation or ultrasound. Technology and computers vastly improved what could be discovered and diagnosed during my career. There is a definition very frequently,but only recently commonly used for such innovation. Artificial Intelligence.
A.I.
Now that’s a weird coincidence.
I suspect that A.I is the witch when it is Artificial Intelligence and A.I is a wizard when thinking about Artistic Intelligence.
Also weird.

ready for prints to be made. Artificial Intelligence
The original painting looks much better in real life. Artistic Interpretation.
The prints will be as good as technology allows. Artificial Intelligence.
A.I a weird coincidence.

You’re right about the tropes and ways of thinking differently of mean and women ‘with powers.’ Why all of the old fairytales had the image of an ‘old crones-witches’ living in their little cottages or stone houses deep in the woods. The men feared their power to live their lives as they chose, without fear or buckling to the expected norms . They wanted their to grow up fearing them as well. They wanted their children to grow up being warned to fear them as well. Men have never been able to give birth and are terrified of women’s ability/magical power of being able to do so.
