Rest is a Public Health Issue.
In the Sisterhood of Limitless Living podcast, we address the importance of integrative and interconnected health from a public health perspective.
Many of us are overworked, overexhausted, and feel guilty about taking time off, not answering emails on weekends, and have been raised to expect to constantly give without prioritizing our own self care.

"Factory of Nothing" is a manually-crafted digital animation that depicts an imaginary automated manufacturing system that does not produce anything.

This is extraordinary.
The Montana House has banned Rep. Zooey Zephyr from the House for the rest of the session.
I wonder how her constituents feel about losing their full representation and their voice.
And so the attack on democracy continues.
In plain sight.
You might have noticed that I boosted a few---or maybe 50---toots about duly-elected Representative #ZooeyZephyr being censured, silenced and oppressed by the #Montana House today. For speaking truth to power. For protecting her constituents.
And I'll keep boosting those posts because everyone needs to pay attention to this story. This assault on #Democracy.
#Trans live matter. Right? Find a way to prove you believe that.
A journalist is writing a story about the trend I've talked about before -- defamation threats and lawsuits against women telling #metoo type stories of their experiences.
The journalist is interested in talking to people who've received such threats. If anyone is interested email me. I can put you together with the journalist. I've talked to her and she's serious about the story and has a good outlet for it.

The Forgotten History of the World's First Trans Clinic
The Institute for Sexual Research in Berlin would be a century old if it hadn’t fallen victim to Nazi ideology
A client has me thinking about chapters.
Chapters can feel essayistic (coving a topic) or episodic (covering an event). Some writers care most about their length.
I consider their shape & how they make patterns & how the breaks influence a reader's experience.
They're kind of arbitrary like paragraphs--which is fun.
How do you think about chapters?

If you’re a high school teacher giving the “interview a professor“ assignment, please re-think what you’re doing.
first of all, your students are embarrassed to ask and faculty are embarrassed to decline. And when we don’t decline?
Given all the back-and-forth that it takes to set up the interview, this is taking a minimum of 1.5 hours of faculty time per student.
Posted a bit of #AI and #LLM #skepticism . :) #ChatGPT isn't about to completely redefine how we do anything especially interesting.

Twitter verification disasters
Twitter Blue verifies a fake account, enabling widespread dissemination of (false) propaganda in the Sudanese conflict.
@SingsongRaptor I moved over here in October.. and I found that doing an introduction post every couple months with hashtag #introduction and pinning them to your profile can be helpful. Also make sure to visit the "Federated timeline" to find some like minded types. It takes a little bit but you'll find your people.. I boosted so hopefully a smidge. I was never one for 'numbers' but I have found some great humans here :) by just doing a little reaching out myself.
A consciousness somehow associated with matter.
Posting about culture, philosophy, politics, AI Art Tools, NaNoWriMo, Software Development occasionally, the relationship of consciousness to matter.

If your profile tells me nothing about you, it's less likely I'll follow you (back).
