The distance between where we are and where we were is both expansive and instant. We can always choose human over machine until the day we cannot. #saynotoai #saynotoaiart #humancreativity

I’m not going to trash fireworks for those who enjoy them, but our little Ava reminds me of how terrifying they can be for many pets and how triggering they can be for many vets.
