I can sure relate to much of what you said here!! Thanks for sharing it.

And - as for "No AI" and following Medium's guidelines on that, sadly Medium seems to allow a fair bit of it! Their guidelines permit it - supposedly tempered - but I'm seeing all kinds of blatantly AI-generated nonsense here.

Sigh.

Well, I don't want to pay it any attention and attract more of it into my world!

I love your writing. You've got a lot to say that can help many people. 💙
