I’ve always been anti-change and anti-censorship as a first instinct, but the more I thought about commercial writing the more I started to question the commitment to the idea of “Dahl’s” words…

Rollins has always been a huge influence on my attitude to writing. Speaking of my writing, this week’s Philosophy Unleashed is about the gender-fluidity of God. I don’t believe in God, but if there was a God they would be they/them, he, she and everything in between: https://www.philosophyunleashed.com/theblog/146-theythem-why-we-need-to-be-gender-neutral-about-god

Or at least I tried to! The article the AI wrote is there, as is a reflection on the process it took to get it there.
