Is it so hard to say "person" instead of "woman" when talking about things traditionally labeled as "women's health"? 😓

Apparently our fake excuse for a government is saying even American citizens are gonna have to provide proof of citizenship. I don’t have a CLUE where my birth certificate is. What’re they gonna do, send me to France??

Perhaps the surest sign of AI not being super intelligent is the amount of tailored scams targeting the finances of authors, which is as rewarding as trying to mug a seagull.
