Perhaps you, like me, have found yourself trying to corral a recalcitrant cat (or dog, ferret, bunny or lizard, I don’t judge!) onto a scale. Perhaps that device frightens or just generally annoys your cat for whatever reason, and that cat refuses to stay on the scale for the requisite time required for weighing.
Perhaps you have also been watching a Lot of shows about veterinarians, and you come up with an idea.
That idea might look something like this.

I’ve started three posts and am halfway done on each of them. I have another batch of chili that’s in progress but needs attention. I have a cat who is certain that some of the cans we just opened are for him, and is being quite vocal about it. And I’ve got a story I’m supposed to be working on.

Excellent idea!

This is for the artists out there.
New tool lets artists fight AI image bots by hiding corrupt data in plain sight
From Hollywood strikes to digital portraits, AI’s potential to steal creatives’ work and how to stop it has dominated the tech conversation in 2023.

Today’s post is brought to you by the cat.
Chewbacca: “I’m trying to sleep. Please stop muttering about how you have nothing good to post today. Silly human.”

If you pay any attention to the news, you don’t need to be told that the world is a sometimes dark and dangerous place, or that humans have the potential for hatred and violence.
But perhaps you also appreciate a reminder that life is not just fearsome, and that humanity has the potential to do an astonishing amount of good.
I know I do.
“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.”

It’s last call for StoryBundle’s To the Stars Adventure SciFi bundle, featuring Writers of the Future v.39 and so much more!
This new StoryBundle will take your autumn, and your e-reader, to the far edges of the universe. Curated by bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson, this cosmic batch of eighteen books showcases the range of epic science fiction, from galactic empires to time-travel adventures to alien invasions. These books are from classic award-winning science fiction authors and hot new indie authors.
Only a few hours left to grab this Great Deal on Sci-Fi. Enjoy!
Am I biased? Sure, I happen to think our collection is great. But the bundle is curated by Kevin J. Anderson and also includes books by other names sci-fi/fantasy fans may have heard of, like Todd McCaffrey and Nancy Kress, as well as others I look forward to discovering.
Enjoy!
