Your Password
Introduction This is an article I originally published on my Seven Days In blog in August 2018 about passwords and security. This week Apple TV asked by to sign in on my TV and went along asking for codes sent to my phone and email, then asked me for my birthday, said my details were wrong and gave me no other option to progress. Eventually, after two days of messing about, it let me on again. It doesn't cost me anything, but it is annoying as I am watching "Severance", "Your Friends And Neighbours" and "Bad Sisters".

More Vocal Observations
Introduction These are just a few things that have come to my attention on Vocal over the last week. While I am not the most supportive, and I do point out flaws in the system, I still think Vocal is the best publishing platform for creative types as well as people like me, although Ai and plagiarism have become an absolute scourge, but Creators are taking the initiative to report offenders.

The Caterpillar Knows
Introduction For Ellie Hoovs "Caterpillar" Wonderland Poetry Prompt Challenge Day 8, that you can join in with here: I have decided to do a villanelle based on Alice's encounter with the Caterpillar. However, many of the phrases come from the story but they were not all said by the Caterpillar or Alice, so I could say this is also a Plagiaristic poem, though in a different to my normal Plagiaristic Poetry.
