I don't touch AI. At all. And I've been vocal about that. One thing that I've tried not to do is to warn people against using certain words or punctuation (e.g. don't use an ellipsis) because it may make their writing look like it was produced by AI. 1/2

Paternity leave reduces postpartum depression in new moms, improves infant health and helps breastfeeding last longer. Meanwhile, most U.S. fathers can't afford to take it.

Generous paternal leave policies improve maternal and newborn health, family finances and workplace equality

Leave for the non-birthing parent after a new baby arrives gives the family an opportunity to bond.

They restricted these surveys in multiple states in the last few years. States moved to require opt in with parental consent to administer the surveys. Then the CDC stopped reporting data about gender identity in 2025. Given the broader anti LGBTQ hostility it's not a surprise numbers declined.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

Editing tip: The form you want is "each other's," not "each others'." Sometimes people get tripped up because it feels plural. But the reflexive form is always "each other" (not "each others"), so the possessive form just adds "'s" like a regular noun. #AmEditing

I've seen loads of fake beta reader accounts on Bluesky. Their pages are full of book promo posts as they'll share & comment to try to lure authors into conversations. They want to get a relationship going with a view to scamming. They're sharks!

I've been blocking all the ones that cross my path. I think many of them search for mentions of self or indie publishing in particular, and then repeatedly make similar comments under all of those posts - if you look in replies you can see them doing that. That's usually when I block.
