What up, I'm Nyla, I'm 21, and I never fucking learned how to read.

I'm a CS major and a furry. Also aroace-spec and genderfluid.

doesn't look like those characters were posted publicly.

Anyways, do you know if you designed this character? I've been searching for the possible designer because I still really like him.

Brown, you say? My fursona Nyla, perhaps. Can be anthro or feral
Reference sheet for Nyla, a dark brown wolf with lighter brown muzzle, cheeks, chest, belly, and tail tip and charcoal-colored paws, ear tips, and stripe down her back. She has swirl patterns going from her back to her leg and around her eyes

This is a great idea, but why does it need generative AI? A lot of the comments suggest a human-edited wiki.
Screenshot from the linked iNaturalist blog post. "We explored this idea in this blog post last year using these frogs as an example. Currently, Naturalist's computer vision model can distinguish these frogs, but we don't do a good job of explaining how. We'd like to use GenAl to tell people not just which frog it is but why it's that frog." Two pictures of frogs are next to each other. One is labeled "Rainforest Rocket Frog" and the other is labeled "Striped Pocket Frog." A description is also added to the picture. Left: "Rainforest Rocket Frog "Typically has a white stripe extending from the eye to the groin." Right: "Striped Rocket Frog "The stripe extends from above the leg past the eye to the nose area." The blog post continues: "Our goal is to build a working demo by the end of the year, and we'll share more updates as the project evolves."

Update from the author:
UPDATE: It has been made clear to me that my original piece was coming across not as intended. I don’t condone doing this show and will not be supporting it. But if these adults are going to take this money that benefits Rowling, my hope is that the least they can do is use it to try and fight back against what she is doing with her proceeds. Again, I don’t condone what they’re doing by working on this show and I apologize for any misunderstanding the original piece caused.

I finally sewed a good curve with my sewing Machine! I even managed to control the foot pedal enough to make the sewing machine go slowly!!! I am so happy! I hope I can replicate this!

Hm, looks like this isn't Hanania's first rodeo with belittling ASL and the Deaf community. 🥴

What is Big Deaf?
A tweet from Richard Hanania from April 24, 2022. The tweet says: "A deaf reader was hurt by some tweets the other day. I clarified my views for him, that my problem is with Big Deaf as a movement, not ASL or closed captioning as inherently bad." The picture attached continues: "I don't think I ever associated sign language itself with degeneracy, if I did that was wrong. My view is utilitarian, and I generally have a deep dislike of things that make things worse for everyone for an unfortunate few (see also mask mandates). I don't have a problem with making CC or sign language an option, and am not against ASL. Honestly, the tone of my tweets is based on me discovering the "deaf community," and being horrified by their value system, but I guess that's true for anything that calls itself a "community" these days. Anyway, I have no hostility to the deaf, and I appreciate you sharing your concerns." A tweet by Richard Hanania from September 15, 2020. "I'll vote for any candidate who will stand against the tyranny of the deaf getting like 40 percent of the screen in speeches and distracting everyone else, instead of just pushing the CC button." The picture shows Joe Biden giving a speech for his campaign. On the side, there is a video player of an ASL interpreter.

Uhhhh MrMattyPlays...why are you collabing with The Act Man? From what I know that guy is a huge reactionary and one of those "anti-woke" gamers.

Matty never struck me as that kind of guy so I'm surprised and concerned.

They made another statement on December 21st stating they ban hate groups and will enforce that policy. It seems to regurgitate the same official statements though, so nothing new.

(Alt text included)

furrytimes.net/2024/12/23/g...
An official statement from Garden State Fur the Weekend: "Serious issues at Garden State Fur The Weekend erupted in anger and distaste. Amid great concern and distrust, we listened, and we heard you. Individuals linked to known hate groups will be barred from entry. Members of staff known to join and support such groups opposed to minorities will see the same rules applied to them. This policy is not new, but we are going to enforce it proactively to ensure the convention floor remains a safe space for love, not hate. "We've also seen the spread of misinformation and harassment on social media channels. Going forward, anyone found continuing to spread misinformation that Garden State Fur The Weekend willfully accepts and supports hate groups will also be banned. GSFTW has never encouraged or supported hateful behavior in our convention space. Such incidents have resulted in bans. Some individuals who passed security screening had only been permitted through clerical error when the ban list was renewed, not through willful intention. "These modifications will implement tighter security for all attendees within our convention space and our social media spaces as well. "Our convention contains many LGBTQ attendees and staff members, as well as varying political ideologies: hatred and harassment towards these groups poses a tremendous safety risk for us all. In our convention space those ideologies must be kept aside so we can all enjoy what this convention has to offer, and what we ourselves have to offer to each other. Fear not - while we close the door to hate, we open as wide as we can to Furries. "Sincerely, GSFTW Executive Board of Directors"

Thank you for the opportunity! (Left drawn by me, right drawn by volcanicflowers on Tumblr)
A blue-gray stoat with red eyes and an off-white muzzle. He has three off-white dots under his eyes and a dark blue bang of hair. A drawing of the same stoat OC, Silo, wearing a leather jacket. He is leaning against the wall of an alleyway and smoking with an angry expression. The smoke surrounds him and in the smoke are memories. The first from left to right is a younger him in a white tank top looking angry. The next is of a younger him looking down sadly and shyly. Another is a closeup of him with a terrified expression on his face.

Digital art of Arven from Pokemon walking while carrying a food aluminum pan. He looks very nervous and shy about catering. A digital drawing of Volo's Togepi playing with Volo's name tag on the dinner table. There is also another name tag (drawn by me, Nyla Smokeyface) lying flat on the table that says, "(Weird Cynthia Guy)."

A Lycanroc I drew for an art contest a few years ago that I'm still really proud of!

A digital drawing of Midday Lycanroc, crouched as if he's ready to pounce with a determined/focused expression on his face. He has blue eyes and a scar over his snout. The background shows that he is on a dirt path in the middle of a grassy field/hill against a sunset.
