It's been hard to believe, but I've encountered a few people like that as well. Including an online therapist based in the UK I spoke with a couple weeks after Oct 7th while trying to deal with the trauma. Some people are in their own world and don't look much beyond it.

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care!

EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

sreenshot from the new york times reporting that Stanford University’s provost is talking about how the loss of funding from national institutes of health funding will cost the university $160 million. that’s not the way to get this changed — the people think “stanford is rich; no big deal.” leaders need to talk about what this will cost the public

Be aware that there is someone on here who is pretending to be an artist (with a real person's stolen pics) and offering via DM to paint your portrait. They'll even pay you to be their muse. "She" got hilariously huffy when I expressed skepticism.

You're welcome to paint me for free if you'd like!😆

Prevention - if it works, nothing happens. Hard for some to understand things they can't see.

This is extremely concerning (and not just because these are my clients). Cutting off potentially life-saving communications for political reasons is not how you improve the wellbeing of Americans.

Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review

The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.

The shoemaker's children finally have nice new shoes!

It's been way too long since I updated my website. I've been lucky that clients have kept me so busy that I didn't have time to bother with it. But it was embarrassing.

Take a look and please let me know what you think!

May this holiday that celebrates miracles that happened long ago spark miracles today that bring the hostages home.

They should be able to. That some of the public health agencies are no longer trustworthy is a travesty.

People will die because of this idiocy.

Louisiana forbids public health workers from promoting COVID, flu and mpox shots

An NPR investigation found Louisiana health officials told staff to stop promoting vaccines for COVID, flu and mpox, holding flu shot events or otherwise encouraging the public to get those vaccines.

This resonates with me. My previously thriving online community has scattered to different platforms, which nearly all look and feel the same. The experience continues to degrade.

"In the last three years, social media platforms have started converging—imitating the endless scroll of TikTok ... Users can move from one platform to another, and have the same experience. And it’s increasingly an artificial, claustrophobic experience."

Are Social Media Platforms the Next Dying Malls?

The article I co-authored on our social marketing program in Afghanistan just came out!

It's a case study of how we developed both the supply side of the soy industry and spurred demand on the consumer side. And how the campaign balanced the commercial and public health objectives.
