My middle school child has been using AI to generate fanfic. Obvs ive explained why AI is bad, but child. I'm getting increasingly frustrated at how hard it is to restrict access to generative AI, especially considering how dangerous it is for children.

I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.
The US Department of Agriculture suspends all federal funding to Minnesota, effective immediately.

ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims.

Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!

Maduro was a brutal repressive dictator who destroyed Venezuela. Trump did not have congressional or UN approval to engage in unilateral regime change. Trump's actions were illegal. All of those things can be true at the same time. Don't let them make this about Maduro.

Made a childhood new year favorite with a twist. Cabbage and corned beef skillet, cooked in bacon fat, and bacon garlic mashed potatoes with butter. I figured the kids would eat the mashed potatoes, but nope. They decided its all gross.

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health.

The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.

They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.

Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air

Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

IMHO, a formula recall notice is not an appropriate place to promote breastfeeding. It's not like people are able to switch back from formula to breastfeeding, so why act like that's option?

Event planning is the worst. I feel it just accentuates the worst parts of me. I hate who I am during this process.

"Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours.

'I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up. I asked if they had a warrant and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.'"

It feels like an exercise in futility trying to go to therapy and heal trauma while everything keeps happening. How do I feel joy in my child's joy while I know parents are being kidnapped in my city? How do I practice mindfulness and self compassion when im terrified for my safety, the safety 1/2

DOGE may no longer be top of mind, but they are still active and causing issues in the grant world, which is another public health catastrophe. Many health departments across the country receive a significant amount of funding from grants. These changes, coupled with the new HHS grant policy, 1/2
