Replay of today's livestream: TIA TALK IS BACK!

Before criticizing rescues for using AI, understand what it’s actually doing behind the scenes—because it’s not about aesthetics, it’s about survival. Rescuers are drowning in workload. One person might be managing intake, vetting, transport, fundraising, social media, and crisis response—all at once. Time is the one thing they don’t have. AI helps close that gap in very real, life-saving ways: • Faster posting = faster visibility Dogs on euthanasia lists don’t have days—they have hours. AI helps create urgent, eye-catching posts in minutes instead of hours, which can mean the difference between being seen… or being missed. • Better reach = more shares = more chances Clear, compelling visuals and captions stop people from scrolling. More engagement means more eyes, and more eyes means a higher chance of a foster, adopter, or donor stepping up. • Fundraising that actually works Vet bills don’t wait. AI helps rescuers quickly create posts that communicate urgency and tell a story people will respond to—bringing in the donations that literally pay for treatment. • Accessibility for overwhelmed or disabled rescuers Not everyone has design skills, time, or even full physical ability to create polished content. AI levels the playing field so more people can advocate effectively. • More time spent on animals, not graphics Every hour saved making a flyer is an hour that can be spent coordinating transport, administering meds, or handling emergencies. And here’s the part people don’t want to acknowledge: The real harm isn’t AI—it’s the constant bullying of rescuers. We’ve already seen where that leads. The fox rescuer who was harassed—including over AI use—took her own life. That should have been a wake-up call. No rescue animal has ever been harmed because someone used AI to make a post. But rescuers have been harmed by people tearing them down while they’re trying to hold everything together. If you care about animals, focus on outcomes: Did the dog get seen? Did the funds get raised? Did a life get saved? Because the animals don’t care how the post was made. They just need someone to see it in time.

I wish you could come to NJ and clean my house out. You'd make some serious $$$.

Hi Tia 🇸🇯NORWAY.

Hi Tia, how are you feeling?

I was wondering if anyone had Tia's email address?

I signed up for patron

Patron member here for couple years. Been having trouble lately pulling up on my apps. Glad to see this one from 2 days ago. Love from South Carolina

Don’t even waste your energy reacting to their comments.

Does anyone know Tia's email to use for the postcard?

Idiots, that make cracks like that. They have no idea what they are saying. Why not make your life easier with AI. This is going to be the way the world is going to be. They need to get with the program.

I love that y'all are crazy people like me in Texas.

I’d love to have a card Tia

Are you still taking donations for your thrift store?

Tia, can you repost the address for donations for the thrift store? Or does anyone know where I can find it?
