With respect, and in a collegial spirit, I want to question the new APA guidelines for citing ChatGPT. ChatGPT and OpenAI are not "sources" of generated text in the academic sense. They do not come up with or stand behind the ideas in the generated text. 1/

Very cool guide by @Info_Activism on how to Choose a private cycle tracking app. Our private, secure & feminist drip app is in there! It looks into data privacy and security, but also takes a critical look at opaque calculations of fertile days. Well done 🩸💅
