People who gather in small groups online, in Zoom calls, to get support and friendship. There is supervisor who helps them learn how to do the Zoom calls and is also there for each gathering. There is a commonality to the groups; in some cases everyone is a senior citizen. or maybe all female.
She wasn't sure how she'd like being on online meetings with people she had never met; but she kept working with the supervisor to learn how to do it. Would they like each other? After several meetings, she looked forward to her weekly meetings with them. They had bonded, and Online Zoomies seemed a fun & pleasant name for them.

Someone who volunteers at animal shelters that have CATS and KITTENS available for adoptions. They might help with donating blankets, or just their time to pet and interact with the animals . They never expect financial compensation. They neither donate nor receive money, just their time and affection. Often they take pictures.
When Anna first heard the word philanthropist and learned what it meant, she wanted to be one when she grew up. Poverty and philanthropy didn't really mesh for 50 years. She learned to take digital photos of the cats for pennies, donate the use of them to a local Humane Society's website, and increase their adoption rates. Fifty years later she was indeed a Felinethropist!

Lightling is the name of a character formed by photographing traffic lights, headlights, street lights, neon lights, or other lights, in the rain and usually night. They appear sometimes tiny, unformed, deformed or otherwise different that what they actually were. These lights often are anthropomorphic, seeming to take on facial expressions, interpreted differently by viewers, but fun and interesting. Unless the photographer what the Lightlings really are, people are not likely to know.
The photographer was taking Raintings of many kinds of lights through her rain-covered windshield. When she looked closely at some of them, many of the lights appeared to have human expressions. It was fun to see them and to know what they were in real life. She saw anger, smiles, doubt, all manner of expressions. One of her images had a lot of them gathered under a tree. Whether they were a new type of cartoon character or not, she felt they needed a name, hence Lightling.

SIC & SNIC
SIC is Solarized in Camera and Refers to a choice that could only be made in a Sony Mavica Camera.
SNIC is Solarized Not in Camera and Refers not to any specific camera at all, but to using a photo processing/enhancing program that has a choice of a solarized.
SIC & SNIC both refer to Solarization but the results on the images are entirely different.

Since they both used the word solarized, I was surprised how completely different my photo results with SIC were from SNIC

Felony Cute is an expression I coined meaning so unbearably and overwhelmingly cute that it should be a crime for a dog or cat to have that much power over us. I mean, you know, making us get a goofy grin on our face, get weak in the knees, and talk baby talk.
The little Golden Retriever puppy was not just cute; I mean after all, they all are. He was *felony cute* making me have a big goofy grin, weakening my knees, and forcing a stream of baby talk from my mouth. It should be a serious crime, perhaps even a felony, for a cute puppy to render me helpless.
