I made this meme of my dog to encourage myself whenever I begin to feel like I bit off more than I can chew. It should be noted she eventually broke it in half. #persistence

Challenging AI art by giving it abstract prompts. "Access to Justice for the historically excluded" DALL·E made me law firm stock photos. Stable Diffusion gave me a political cartoon (?) and article spreads. 🤔

If this isn't in your radar, it should be. Tagging @GeorgeTakei in hopes to get it in his radar, too.
My next episode of The #4Forty2nd #watercolor webcomic gets released today at noon. Read it for free on the @tapas_app and @WeWebtoons platforms. Info on my profile. The easiest way to support is to like and comment on the episode. Thank you all! #comics #webcomic #WWII #aapi

From many of us in the privacy community:
1/ 10. Privacy is fundamental to ensuring freedom and equality for all. US Courts have long honored privacy traditions, including people’s right to access information and to act on that information to make personal health and medical decisions.

I once had a corp speaking oppy. The organizer asked my fee & I told her. She paused. Your fee should be at least $10k. Another speaker is getting $$$. Now what’s your fee? I raised my fee. That is how we help other women level up. Don’t contribute to exploitation culture.
