So I'm guessing due to being added to the Melanated Writers starter pack (and pretty sure BlackSky), I seem to have gained a huge amount of followers over the past few days, so many that I've lost track, but a re-introduction may be in order for those who didn't follow on other site.

Can an AI chatbot save lives by answering texts about pregnancy?

I’m also going to say that we could have reached this from multiple lenses

I was wrong here though.. I forgot to include the 19th
Prepare to see them come for the Civil Rights Act ,the 14th and yes to justify bringing back slavery
I would have said that in a fighting way . But I’m actually broken right now
And I just can’t care anymore
Y’all don’t think I’m a real person or that my life requires any urgency
