"Henpecked"? 🤔
Heartbreaking to see many brilliant minds working on AI so harried and henpecked by the aggressively ignorant crowd's agenda that they not only adopt the signs and sigils of the hostile illiterati—some actually begin to believe that their own work is "dangerous" and "wrong."

Danielle Smith's legal first name is Marlaina. She's asked why she can go by different name but restrict other's ability to do the same? She says it was her parent's choice, to her annoyance. So adults making naming decisions for you is frustrating, Danielle? Interesting!!!!!

The final fiction story of the series is Almost Real by Quelemia Sparrow! Very proud of the episode - written, directed and acted by an all Indigenous cast and crew. It is funny, moving and mind blowing. Enjoy!
