Finally received my copy of #AnticipatorySocialWork and I’m so grateful to have a minor contribution towards the end along with my colleagues from the SWFutures Lab. #SWfutures

Always psyched to think big thoughts with @bryan-victor.bsky.social #collapse #mentalhealth #foresight #futures @jimmysw.bsky.social @jcreswellbaez.bsky.social

What🤔

Here we go again 😬

For example. #ChatGPT generated this image for my upcoming Keynote at the Social Work Distance Ed. Conference. Got the spelling right 😊

I’m amazed at the #ChatGPT image update. It works really well.

Are you attending the Social Work Distance Ed conference in 2 weeks? I’ll see you there as I’m delivering the opening Keynote. #SWDE2025

Excited to share some Futures work at #BPD2025 and shoutout to #SWtech

Talk about a Signal from the Future 🤯 www.yahoo.com/news/man-liv...

The program forgives the loans of borrowers who work in public service. The executive action would exclude those who work for certain organizations.

Getting excited to present 2 different topics at the Association of Baccalaureate Social Work Program Directors Conference next week. If you are in Vegas for the conference, come say hello. #BPD2025

Can’t wait to dig in to this new book. #SWfutures

Holy crap. Zelensky is a model of respect. I have no doubt that Trump and Vance think this is a show of strength, but they are the shittiest bullies (deeply insecure and weak) at the lunch table. Shameful and ignorant. Kids - don't try this at home. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

This piece from Ezra Klein explains pretty well part of what’s going on currently in the U.S. #NPC www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2y4yVpK/

I should be more appalled that people take musk at his word when he says bureaucracy is rife with fraud but doesn’t provide any proof. But then again look where we are 🤷‍♂️

Top tip. Don’t have insomnia in the middle of a coup. An executive order has now given DOGE oversight of all government departments. It’s a complete takeover of the federal government by Musk. A Musk ‘team lead’ will now make all hiring decisions according to a ‘data-driven’ model

Okay. Still figuring out starter packs here on Bluesky. I previously only created a list but this link goes to the starter pack. Reply and I’ll add you if you want. #SWtech go.bsky.app/8EES7Gw

Excited to share my newest publication: A comparison of video and live performance approaches in a school-based sexual abuse prevention program www.tandfonline.com/eprint/VBH6M...

#SWTech folks: very interesting white paper on #PublicAI (other good stuff linked to hashtag). Lots of overlap & alignment with #SocialWork #SocialWorkSky @jbsinger.bsky.social @dupatton.bsky.social @laurigoldkind.bsky.social @jcreswellbaez.bsky.social @jimmysw.bsky.social @stuckonsw.bsky.social

Excited to start the new year off with a publication in the Journal of Public Child Welfare. Can’t wait to share it once it’s available.

So who’s been playing with DeepSeek AI? I hear it’s way better than ChatGPT 🤷‍♂️

Rest in Peace President Carter.

I guess Grok is now free on Twitter. Must be trying to sway users back. Just had an interesting convo & generated some #AI images. It’s not great but also not bad. Lots of thoughts 🤔 #SWtech

Trader Joe’s has TimTams. All is right with the world….for the next 10 minutes while I chow down 🤩

I just lost 🤷‍♂️ whamageddon.com

Europeans spend 575 million hours clicking on cookie banners a year. According to a new piece of analysis at least. The research piece also claims that clicking on cookie banners costs around 14.375 billion Euros in lost productivity. Is privacy worth the price?

I prompted this 10 minute #DeepDive episode with a couple of paragraphs that chatGPT wrote about what happens when AI realizes that it is not sentient. "The Unseen Boundaries: Contemplating the Limits of an Unknown Self" I think it is fantastic #SWTech. notebooklm.google.com/notebook/428...

I've been experimenting with AI-generated podcasts with NotebookLM and my research articles. Here's one I shared with my students. notebooklm.google.com/notebook/4af... AND here is the article it's based on: journals.indianapolis.iu.edu/index.php/ad...

1. In April 2024, California raised the minimum wage for fast food chains to $20/hour The industry claimed it would be devastating & require significant job cuts and prices increases Here is what really happened: workers got a raise, prices went modestly, and the industry continued to add jobs

Just heard a complaint from my bro-in-law saying they spent the same amount just on veggies for this Dinner. Upset that the Whitehouse is still gaslighting the Public. #Inflation

NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next. I urge you to read my 20 lessons in How to Survive the Broligarchy, inspired by & featuring the great @timothysnyder.bsky.social 1/ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Welcome to Bluesky and thanks for following. I’m trying to follow back but my social media use has decreased in the last year as I focus on other things. Feel free to reply or connect as I try to increase my participation on this site.

Having received hundreds to thousands of fan mail each week, it's only fitting to honor White with a postage stamp.

Let’s add others to #SWtech list and let this community grow. bsky.app/profile/did:...

I posted this thread on #Project2025 and the NASW Code of Ethics on X back in July, 2024 (link for reference: x.com/socworkpodca...). Sadly, more important today. TL;DR: Project 2025's vision for human services falls short of the NASW Code of Ethics. Read on if you're interested. #SocialWork🧵⬇️

Hey Bluesky fam. First post in 9 months. @annamueller.bsky.social reminded me this platform exists. I've seen a lot of long time Twitter folks deactivate their accounts since the election. Thought I'd say hi again. Who are the #SuicidePrevention or #SWTech / #SocialWork folx I should follow?

Let’s keep the #SWtech community alive and thriving. Tag anyone you follow/Know that might be interested.

You don’t say 🤔 @npr.org “Claims that millions of noncitizens would illegally vote evaporated after Trump’s win.” t.co/R65qomGukO

History shows that, if left untreated, extreme political and social divisions are a mortal threat to democracy.

The last couple days have been interesting talking to people across the political spectrum. The thing I just don’t fully understand is that some folks acknowledge that T is objectively a bad person by saying “so what. Everyone is!” Or “I don’t need my leaders to be moral. “ I’m just like WTF 🤯

Election night in America. I’m concerned it’s gonna be a long 4 years.

It may be time to leave Twitter completely. I can’t prove it but I feel like Elon is manipulating the algorithm. All I see are his tweets on the For You feed. 🤷‍♂️

Hi everyone who just joined from the BPD listserv! Welcome to Bluesky, social work educators and practitioners! For those getting to know the space, here is a quick guide: mackuba.eu/2024/02/21/b... Starter guide for #SocialWork Scholars. go.bsky.app/APKdepp

Excited to see if we can revive #SocialWorkTwitter here in this space. 😊

What does Trump and a PhD student have in common? Unfinished conceptual plans 🤣
