I cannot help but feel that news outlets publishing photos of someone who had attempted suicide - would not be #ethical
Reporting on the issue respectfully, tactfully to dissuade people from copying, absolutely.
But publishing their photo worldwide?

I’m so sorry. Yeah, that is so true. No matter how well prepared we think we are.

In a little over an hour, my beloved rescue cat, Mr Kitty of 16 years, will be allowed to cease his fight with cancer.
Thankfully, we have been preparing.

Meta are the biggest pushers of misinformation, viral fear campaigns, scams and quackery. We already know the only thing they remove are posts on are science, evidence based practices, humanitarian and public health messages. The antidote is removing Meta.

Thank you. I have been in the industry for decades. Well versed and aware of evidence based practice to provide advice. Yet, when it comes to our own…

Mr Kitty is now no longer in pain and at rest. I, on the other hand, am a big mess. But I need to get it together for a client soon. The vet says she can’t smell where he voided on me. I can’t smell anything as I’m full of tears and mucus.

Not looking good for Mr Kitty. His appetite is still there, but having so much trouble eating. He will not let me give his oral pain medication.
Tonight will probably be our last cuddle.
Please give me the strength, the courage and the compassion to do what must be done.

Unlikely at the moment. I finally got the pain meds into him. Now, refusing to talk or cuddle. I just can’t have him leave, angry at me.

Thank you. I have been preparing.
Wrote this #poem to help remind me of that very thing.
I finally got him to take the pain meds, but now he is refusing to cuddle.
I just can’t have him leave this place, angry at me.

My sincere gratitude for the clarification. My apologies that I may have come across as brash. When you have been mistreated and gaslighted your entire life it is natural to get defensive. I trust you understand.

The answer how it is worthwhile, of course, I have answered. I appreciate that this narrative is something you would prefer to ignore.

This isn't cheating or an unfair advantage. This allows us to do the same everyday things that abled people take for granted. Expanding on the art idea, would you consider it unethical for, say, a quadriplegic to use AI to make pictures using AI? Or create a whole picture storybook of their life?

I imagine it depends on the publication's purpose, how and why they used it, and if they correctly referenced AI and prompts, etc. My main argument is from the perspective of disabled people. There are countless uses of AI that the disabled can access and, therefore, be included in society.

I appreciate your attempt to rephrase the question and narrow it down. In my recent experience in the discussion (although not strictly in AI art), that is still a vast scope to cover. When you say ethically, from whose perspective?

Changed my profile picture.
It is now of the one that cult who orchestrated multiple mass complaint attacks against me, really, really disliked.

My brother once asked our mom about a scar she had, and she explained it was from the smallpox vaccine. He goes, "What?! Were you alive during the Civil War?!" Our collective memories are too short.

I’m case you were wondering, yes I posted this video and revised OG post back on Meta. Just to point out the harm antivax lies do and why we should care.

Granted these people have probably never seen #VPDs & don’t believe they exist
My mom had polio, still recall the shapes of her twisted arm.
Attached a link to a reel of Smiley aka Tiny Dancer with the fatal neurological disease distemper.

Thanks to multiple mass complaint attacks, #MetaPlatforms removed this post even though initial administrators reinstated it immediately.
Meta then removed my right to appeal.

It has been a while since I have had contact with the #antivax disinformation community.
Is it a compliment when they felt they needed to orchestrate a few mass complaint attacks against me?
Do I get a badge or a medal? Scented sticker even?

They work for Missy sometimes. This was using both and anti nausea tablets to get her in car. Millie on the other hand would prefer to hide in my dirty clothing, or if I was there snuggle closely with me. Her shaking/shivering though broke my heart.

Not legal where we are. In rural, suburban, industrial or otherwise.
But it is something that the council and local law enforcement are either unable or unwilling to do anything about it.
We are so sorry you are *still* dealing with this.
Have you ever tried #Thundershirt or #Adaptil?
