Carla René, CPSA

I'm SO pleased to announce that my third art piece was just juried into the CPSA's 33rd annual exhibition this summer in MD! This is my 3rd piece, so now I have Signature Status. Worked SO HARD for this! #art #artist #cpsa #cats

"Charlie (Ginger Tabby)" Prismacolours. Total time: 22 h 17 m.

Some Good News for Hollywood Creators Suing AI Companies In the first AI copyright case ruling, a court concludes that training an AI system using copyrighted material isn't fair use. That will likely be cited by creators fighting other tech giants.

This is why he should care. Generative AI's time is limited with the decision of this landmark case, now making it illegal to claim copyright on anything rendered (I refuse to use the word created) with gen AI: www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Congratulations!!!

Interesting. They look a lot like sulfate. Do they use an onbard spectrograph to determine composition?

New mixed-media! My first canvas, it measures 2.5' x 2.5'. It was my first time using the Ken Oliver Colorburst watercolour powders.

What do y'all think? #catlovers #catart #canvas #mixedmedia

Thank-you. He's a real Kraken.

My friend is also a cat person so he "got" it. I am grateful for good people in my life every day.

That was General Toot last year at my art show. He hung out, slept on some of the art, and accepted pets, photo ops and "cookies" from everyone! Dood ATE. IT. UP.

LOL!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂

Thank-you. I nearly lost him 2 years ago when I was trying to integrate my F3 Bengal, General Toot with them and Castillo developed a stress infection that resulted in a blockage. We had to do surgery and if it hadn't been for a friend in Canada I've never met, I couldn't have afforded to help him.

Unfortunately, the presidents also have the right to choose any advisor they wish, no matter how childish or despicable.

He is THE happiest and most grateful kitty I've EVER had in my whole life of rescuing/taming ferals. He sees me & starts purring from across the room. He makes me laugh every day. Was going to rehome once rescued/fixed, but when I lost Chairman Meow then Playdoh 6 mos apart, he was home already. 💝

My Lieutenant Castillo was rescued from the parking lot of my on-campus apartment. The RA helped me get him! He'd never lived inside, so even ambient noise scared him. He began using the box once living inside, but if it has more than 1 "go" in it, he plots beside it and refuses to use it.

The necropsy revealed nothing but red nodes, but nothing definitive. I'd only had him 4-1/2 years. We tried to reverse it since you can do that in males, but that didn't work, and he passed before we got to insulin. I would have done anything for him, and still will for my others. He was my heart. 💔

I'm so sorry. My first Bengal, Chairman Meow, died suddenly while being boarded at his vet one weekend. I can't help but wonder if he died that night b/c he was terrified that I left him. I can't stop blaming myself for leaving him there, but thought he was OK. He'd just been diagnosed with it, too.

If only we could save every single one....❤️‍🩹

Is THIS what you wanted, #MAGA? You benefit from our scientific research EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. You are accessing this information right now THANKS TO SCIENCE. Tell me how you saw this shaking out. Justify this to me. I dare you.

I left, too, after some crypto-turd hijacked my astrophysics account and Twitter did absolutely NOTHING to help me get it back.

Elon broke it, plain and simple.

That is simply STUNNING!

Most guys in my family were fixed-wing nuts. Uncle Keith worked at McDonnell-Douglas as a EE and designed the original shuttle's E-systems. Then there were air-traffic controllers/mechanics. Most of those guys are gone now.

I'm trying to get into flying for animal/natural disaster rescues.

You should get your pilot's license: it will change your life.

Yeah, SUCH a shame that our old tongue just doesn't taste any of those things....🤦‍♀️
