Good on Qwoted for introducing the "Check for AI" feature. They were already flagging profiles that used AI routinely, but this one really sharpens the search--a relief for writers concerned about the authenticity of pitched responses. Great work! 👏🏻 #writersoftwitter #writertip

Childfree women don't have to prove anything to anyone, nor need to do something impressive "in lieu" of their child-free status. If the biggest accomplishment in your life is having children, maybe you need to rethink it. Or just live and let live without passing judgement?
