My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.

One of the moms I interviewed for Holding It Together is a school bus driver. She's her family's primary earner (<$25K/yr), and she doesn't have access to paid leave, so she had to go back to driving while still bleeding after childbirth.
