I hope so fervently. It makes me queasy and I resent it so much. I hate how it has added more to my plate as a parent. I hate how it’s being forced on us.

They clearly do. They are doing it. They have done it. We are very far along in their doing of it. The people who actually could stop them are in favor of what they’re doing.

I read the article the other day and when I got to that paragraph I was so aghast. I told my 10-year-old I would haunt them if they use a chatbot to write my freaking obituary. But in the case of this dad, it was just the absolute saddest, bleakest, most terrible thing ever.

I used to really love reading my mom’s Redbook. She also got Women’s Day and Family Circle but Redbook was my favorite—it was a little more sophisticated. I was a Ranger Rick fan too. Magazines were the best.

This is a good and relatable analogy. Happened to me too—I miss being able to find my way around naturally.

also living in the Netherlands while not being rich etc. (stay-at-home parent supported by my illustrator spouse). It’s easy enough for Americans who can freelance anyway.

I saw it at one of those times when it’s light out when you go into the theater but dark when you leave, and it was a rainy night in San Francisco when I left and walked home with the lights reflecting in the wet streets, and I felt euphoric.
