Quit the begging Wikipedia
Have you ever donated money to Wikipedia? I have, but never again. I have made the decision that Wikipedia no longer deserves my financial support. It was never a huge amount but, as a frequent user of the Wiki database, I felt I ought to make a contribution. I would even be happy to make a modest regular contribution... if I thought that the funding model stood up. I don't. No charity that I know of restricts its fundraising activities to just holding out a donations tin. Maybe they have a plan that I am not aware of but who cares? You have to do better than this if you want any more of my money.

How can we trust AI when it can't read
I like to write as a hobby. It's my form of therapy. I post some of my content on Medium and Vocal. For the past few months I have been using AI to help catch grammar issues before I hit publish. I don't take all the suggestions but I feel it works for the big things that I may overlook. I find proofing my own work much more difficult than proofing someone else's work, probably because I read it too fast since I know what I wrote.

When is Vocal NOT Vocal?
After several years of writing on this platform I believe I'm pretty quick to recognize Vocal's brand and icon. I subscribe to several official Vocal 'creator' profiles so that I can stay in the know about updates, enhancements, changes in policy, and what-have-you.
