A NOTE ABOUT AI: As an author and artist who values what humans have to say about the world around us, I do NOT use any generative or agentic AI tools at any point in my creative processes and do NOT consent to having any of my work uploaded into AI programs or websites, including AI “checkers.” I would encourage those who enjoy the arts in any form to refrain from using technology that steals or devalues the work of creative humans.
