The other day, our rescue’s only car died. Because it also doubled as my personal vehicle, I struggled with the decision to ask for donations to replace it. But the fact is we need a car to function. No rescues, vet appointments, adoptions, NOTHING can happen without a car.

The fact that ai art and writing programs are built on stolen work really seems to be fading from the discussion even amongst artists and writers, which is a bit shit.

When a lunatic beat Paul Pelosi with a hammer, they made jokes.
And when Trump sent a mob to attack the Capitol, they made up lies.
