Semi-retired in Tulsa, OK. I’ve been a mathematician, a geologist, a computer geek, a teacher, a caregiver, an artist and I still manage a little website business at www.zenlady.com. Currently enjoy volunteering at Tulsa Zoo and taking photos of nature and critters of all sorts.
Profile picture shows me with tiger Ava (we are separated by a thick pane of glass).

A Tennessee grandmother spent nearly six months behind bars after artificial intelligence facial recognition software wrongly identified her as a suspect in a bank fraud case – in North Dakota – a state she says she had never even visited.
But by then, she had spent nearly six months in jail and because she was unable to pay bills while behind bars, she lost her home, her car and her dog.
I made a smiling tiger mask using one of my photographs. Wore it as a volunteer at Tulsa Zoo Hallowzooeen and it was a big hit with the kids!
If you would like one, I'm listing it on Etsy

"The policy change directly contradicts military recruitment pledges. U.S. military recruiters continue promoting citizenship pathways for immigrant service members and promising temporary protection for their family members. Green-card holders joining the military have historically accessed expedited citizenship processes, and relatives can apply for temporary permission to remain in the country.”
