A lot of the push for consumer-facing AI seems to be based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the creative process by people without a creative bone in their bodies.

is the office intro ska?

friendly reminder: it is everyone’s first airborne pandemic. that’s just a fact, but i’m sure many of us read it and had a strong emotional response (valid, considering it’s our first time navigating these truths)

Nobody cares about the metrics… use the damn app

insurance rejected my claim on a medicine i get monthly bc apparently there was a glitch and a false “grace period,” was put on my account? they said it happened to other accounts and that i have to pay full price for the med and then file paperwork to be reimbursed… 1/3

this is a genuine ask: DO YOU KNOW OF THERAPISTS IN TEXAS WHO WEAR RESPIRATORS IN THEIR DAILY LIFE?????

"Long COVID is not just about fatigue and brain fog. A new Ohio State University study finds it can quietly chip away at several senses at once, with measurable problems in smell, hearing and balance." Source: archive.md/JL1Ap

how am i supposed to follow the code of ethics (re: providing clients w/ 3 solid referrals) when i don’t know 3 therapists in texas who wear respirators in their daily lives

the amount of fun little drinks i have throughout the day just to survive is kinda absurd: caffeine. medication drink. electrolytes. green tea. pickle juice shot. more tea. medication drink. peppermint tea. magnesium drink. and the classic 2-3 gallons of water per day.

i really wanted to share this article in a therapist group bc it was relevant but the clinician wasn’t asking for “why” their client developed religious delusions seemingly overnight so i’m sharing it here (idk if this was their cause, i just want more awareness) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36819980/

50% of discourse i see is: no one is right or wrong, the algorithm has pit us against each other once again. if we had emotional awareness, maybe we could work together. 40%: we don’t have the same definitions or values. 10%: one side is clearly incorrect/not based in the lived experience.

March 31st. #HelpFolksLive2026 thread. Something's *always* due & food is *always* needed. Things only get better with community action. *Now* is when folks need food, water, shelter, meds. *Now* is when we/the community needs to be there for each other. There's no one else. Just us.

had to do a bunch of work/life balance assessments on myself for class lmao 1) the health/fitness, leisure, and social sections were not disabled friendly 2) ya i said i 100% eat healthy and nutritious meals bc rn i’m working against months of malnourishment so all my effort is in getting nutrients

Criminalizing sex work and laws such as Nordic model empower organized crime, allows for more police misuse of power, and prolongs the abuse faced by human trafficking victims and consensual sex workers alike. Full decriminalization of sex work is the best way to fight sex trafficking&exploitation

Researchers say COVID-19 may affect the brain as well as the lungs. Some people report lasting memory and attention problems, and early evidence suggests infection could raise neurodegeneration risk. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

one can assume that complaining to airline companies will be more effective than calling your representatives (but i’ll be thankful and happy to those that take either action)

my husband doesn’t know and can’t recognize white men. like especially celebrities. but the ones he gets right are VERY telling (they’re all endearing little freaks)

hi, cis folks in NY state! was today a protest day for you? feel recharged? want to take 5-10 minutes & do another achievable thing? the 2 biggest private hospitals in NYC ended trans youth care in violation of state & city law as an act of overcompliance to trump. tap into the thread to help. ⬇️

screams, cries, pulls out my hair in chronic active EBV that was diagnosed 12 years ago (symptoms for as long as i can remember)

"We are beginning to realize that there is this whole world out there that we had absolutely no insight into." It does seem like postviral illnesses are attracting more and more attention.

This is a planned AI data center.

72.9% funded!!!! Less than $1000 to go!

we had a neighbor admit in the facebook group that he can’t back his own truck out of his driveway. it’s not even a big truck, he just thinks it’s big so he complained that someone parks across from his driveway. truly embarrassing.

trying to explain to handymen that i’m a therapist (intern) and that if they arrive or finish the job while i’m in session, i 100% cannot answer the door is kind of exhausting. they’re like “but you’re at home…in a meeting.” not quite

last night my overall pain and symptoms was at like a 7/8 out of 10, but i was tired of laying down in a dark room so i was sitting on the couch, playing cards. my husband was like “that bad?? i couldn’t tell at all” i knew he didn’t know bc i wasn’t Showing it. many of us do this constantly.

no i love having an open concept home during climate collapse bc whenever we make dinner it’s still just 1 room that gets hot and can’t cool off AND that one room includes the living area and the dining area. it’s great!

dropped my malnourished lore (it’s that my mold medication is leaving me malnourished) in the family group chat today and i didn’t get a single response which is unfortunately the best response for this group

agh! therapist facebook groups are stressful. idk if it’s fb but someone was asking for resources to support a disabled client and did not seem to understand the phrase “access needs.” agh!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

is anybody looking into how sopping wet baby carrots are? just swimming in juice, absolutely soused in their slop

Treating politics like team sports has broken people’s brains. It’s his job to take criticism, and it’s our job to criticize. That’s allegedly what democracy is.

if something in your industry has been getting worse i’d be absolutely shocked if the cause was something other than: ai; lowering/removing regulation standards; folks in your field developing long covid and not knowing they’re tired or otherwise impaired; war

sometimes i occasionally see a person i knew at earlier times in my life pop up on my ig story views and i’m like “…do they currently have covid and are they trying to find helpful information about lowering their viral load?” lmao i will never know bc i’ll never ask

my water bottle is a gallon. literally the size of some cats or babies (it’s 12 pounds when it’s full) and i still misplace it at least 5 times a day!!!

not just senators—who’s to say if our CDC would’ve subjected the general public to infectious guidance (prematurely slashing covid isolation times) without the the airline industry’s influence

how will a strongly worded letter go in 2026, we all wonder

if airlines can lobby to reduce covid mitigations, they can get ICE out of airports and paychecks into bank accounts of TSA workers

Normalise COVID. Yes. That means dealing with it as you would any other chronic disease or risk factor. Not ignoring it.

Can I at least get $30 tonight?

even if folks won’t mask more, i just wish they’d stop calling everything allergies and refusing to test. i also wish there was less cognitive dissonance— instead of letting your emotions about maybe getting others sick make you defensive, let those feelings keep you at home or test.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

imagine having the resources, ability, and opportunity to make a choice that benefits all those around you—would you take it?

me reporting and blocking every ad about ai or using ai will probably get me put on a government list. i don’t play about technofascism.

trust is a vital skill for community building/political organizing. being trustworthy, trusting others, and trusting yourself. trauma makes the skill of trust less accessible. trauma crumbles away many foundational skills that build up to trust (self awareness; recognizing what’s safe; etc.). 1/3
