You are NOT rich enough for the CPC to care about you or have your best interests at heart.
Care about healthcare, at-risk groups, housing, science, childcare, environment. Without community and progress, we are nothing.

See ya tomorrow for day 2! π§

Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.
Makes sense π it was worth a shot!

Luckily not too near my house, my pantry is safe for now! But I DID get to watch him cartoonishly scurry under someone's tool shed, where his butt barely fit π it was honestly one of the cutest things I've ever seen
