Meanwhile, the entire country talks endlessly about the Epstein files instead of the men next door who are actually abusing, and trafficking, kids…
My 16 year old niece is dating a 20 something year old and trying to bring him to my house for Thanksgiving

NO!

So I know she not gonna come which makes me sad AF

And I can't go too hard because you can't tell nobody how to raise they kids

Since they started charging for tests, ppl are not only NOT MASKING but they're also not testing.

But that doesn't make it go away 😭
I keep seeing posts about kids getting “weird colds” but it seems like the parents aren’t testing for COVID. The denial is maddening
Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

Train Songs: a compact, lyrical memoir about a kid, me, imagining escape from an unsafe home. It’s about trains & vastness. The horizon is a much greater distance away on the Canadian prairie than it is anywhere else. I wanted to get to the other side of it. open.substack.com/pub/geoffcor...
Train Songs
As a child on the Canadian prairie, I dreamed of escape by train - seeking safety and a way back to a past before loss.

I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world

And by design LLMs destroy shared context

How I feel about the whole Olivia Nuzzi story is that there are a lot of talented, ethical, underemployed or unemployed black and brown journalists right now who are ready to work.

The continuous federal attacks against nursing and teaching are driven by misogyny. Fascists are further marginalizing these professions because they’re historically feminized.

Fascists want you to starve, by the way. Images like the one I’ve shared on my page help them. This is part of the propaganda.

And that set is no exception.
How far right uses thinness to radicalise women and girls
The far right has normalised much of its ideology within mainstream politics – and ‘body fascism’ is part of that

One powerful message that so much of the Epstein “reckoning” is sending to survivors is this: you, as a survivor, are only valuable if your suffering can be used to shame “powerful” men. In other words, survivors are once again being used, which is a prolongation of abuse…

At Myriam's @lesbrains.bsky.social urging, I've started writing a memoir... about someone else... the family history around it, a story of settler colonial violence, patriarchy, intergenerational trauma, a few comical drug store heists.

A craftsperson loves craft. Writing is craft. The people who practice it are into the process. People using AI don't have the SOUL of a craftsperson. They want an end result to stick their name on, that's it.
