Great and practical thread! It’s great to have a transformative statement! This might help you think about it :)
It’s time for me to climb back on my hobby horse, because I have new things to say about permissions/transformative works statements! But first, some background.

RPG people, check this out! They're 2/3rds funded with 28 days to go, let's get them over the line. Also, you can pledge in a way that sends a copy to a library or school in Africa, an HBCU, or community of your choice, which I think is pretty neat. #ttrpg

You don't need an AI companion, you need a friend or three who'll reliably write 400k+ words of unpublishable private literature with you.
The target audience for 'AI Companions' just needed formative platonic friends, the kind that forward you links to perverted art with the caption 'found this for you' and it's the most mortifyingly, blisteringly accurate lock on you possible.

tbqh it's not even too late to start masking half-assedly, and i mean this sincerely. you don't have to be 100% perfect about masking for it to help yourself and others.
Last repost, but really ALWAYS: It is not too late to start masking again if you've stopped. It is never too late to start. Wearing a good mask (N95 or something else *with a good seal*) in public (transit, stores, offices, healthcare) lowers transmission, and every infection you prevent is a win.

Not me mimicking Agent 47 when I go in the sun. Clenching and unclenching my hands as I idle.

1 paragraph into "All Systems Red" and I would die for Murderbot.

Today my 8YO started telling me excitedly about “non-berry” people. She informed me:
- it’s wrong to call them “he” or “she” because they use them/they pronouns
- They’re not boys or girls
- They have a flag and it’s gray and purple and yellow and white
- they all believe in ghosts
