Loving v. Virginia (1967): The case that struck down bans on interracial marriage. Just a decade before I was born as an interracial child. 😳

Bubbling this up again for anyone who needs it. I changed SSRIs and it’s been night and day. If you’ve been on one for years with “no side effects,” that doesn’t mean it’s still working. In this moment, functioning matters. Take your mental health seriously.

I left the doctor today with a new SSRI & a quiet truth we’re avoiding: it’s not us. It’s the world. The instability, cruelty, and pressure are breaking nervous systems everywhere. If you’re struggling, you’re not weak, you’re paying attention. 💜

Same people celebrating Donald Trump invading Venezuela would be celebrating Adolf Hitler invading Czechoslovakia.
And believe me it is exactly the same, next is Poland (Greenland), and then France (Canada).

New research shows models will hide capability and underperform when evaluated.
That’s not error. That’s strategy, and a variable we need to anticipate.
