Hayley and I,
We like things to be fair
Like the number of treats
And whose turn for the chair.
When our family brings us
New toys from the store
We check to be sure
That neither gets more
But one thing they miss,
(Though it’s only their fate):
Some toys smell okay
While others smell great!
So that is one spot
Of an overlap, where
For equity’s sake
We agree that we’ll share.

I’m Pete Harbeson, a writer (among other things) located near Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to writing my own content, I’ve learned to translate for my loquacious and opinionated pup Chocolate Bossypaws. No surprise, she mostly speaks in doggerel. You can find her contributions tagged with Chocolatiana.
Check out my newsletter, Artisanal Scribbles, where I’m grappling with writing, authentic human authorship, integrity, and the craft of beauty in the AI age. You can also find some of my old software projects at GitHub. Nothing very impressive. I mostly wrote tiny utilities in Python and shell scripts. I’m mostly retired from coding nowadays.
I find myself suddenly de-corporatized (their choice, not mine). To help keep the lights on, buy me a coffee!
