a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms
you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

We are phasing out the terms “extant” and “extinct” from our exhibits and will now refer to species as either “Darwinners" or “Darlosers.”

Just so we’re clear; if you use gen AI for your writing at all then I don’t care what themes the work contains or what point you are trying to make. Using gen AI tells me that you fundamentally cannot engage with or create art in any meaningful way and nothing you have to say to me has any value.
