We could really use an equivalent here! Glad to hear you have that available now.

What a headline

The first time my doctor asked if she could use ai to take notes, and I said no, she seemed surprised. THIS IS WHY. SAY NO.

It's still surreal to say things like "I'm working on my upcoming museum exhibition" 😵‍💫 install and finalized dates soon! At the moment, I'm excited about how I'm going to honor my peer Black naturalists, aspirational artists & scientists as part of the exhibit 🥲love & lineage through citation

Ooh, that is a *very* good moth.
