Feels like an appropriate weekend to share the fact that I have two rescue chickens named after Anne and Emily Brontë (we lost Charlotte last year)
They are both beautiful, defiant, feral little things, which I hope would make the Brontës proud.

Modern writing websites be like:
We will use your writing to train our AI
All your content belongs to us and we will steal it to use for AI content
Data scrapping keeps happening, and there’s nothing we can do
