She looks like a coated Peruvain Inca Orchid. They're usually hairless but one in five have a coat like this. Similar sighthound build and the coat and color are right.

One of the greatest pleasures in writing is working with an editor you just click with. They get what you're trying to do, really get it, and challenge you to do it better. When this happens, it is pure joy. In other words, very much enjoying edits this morning. #amediting💙📚🐻 #furrylit

Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation's independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.
What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city's waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.
Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.
Happy Fourth of July, New York City.

It's not even as much effort as opening a dictionary. The meaning of any word you like is one tab/click away. Yeah, I prefer the dictionary method, but really, there's no excuse with google right there.

Yes! Capturing a moment like that is/was special and unique. When you can manufacture it again and again, it takes away a great deal of the magic.

This. The question we should ask is why aren't we celebrating the art made by disabled people without AI assistance? If we think all art has to look a certain way, we don't understand art.

This has bothered me since I saw the AI photo of a "baby peacock" and realized people actually believed they were bright blue. Stop ruining nature. It's already perfect the way it is.

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.
"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?"
"Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."
