I have been doing my podcast since April 2024. I started it as a way to share my thoughts on organizational psychology, applied psychology for media and technology, etc. to help people understand their world. Some episodes were intentionally very relevant to this moment. I’m resharing them today 🧵

When I went home to Mississippi last week, a Black farmer welcomed folks to pick greens from his land for free. It made me wonder whether other communities across the country were also giving back ahead of the holiday.
The answer: yes, they are.

From farmers to churches, residents across the country are working together to provide free food for those in need this holiday season.

somehow it's "hoarding" when I keep my old tech as long as possible and resent forced obsolescence
but not "hoarding" when billionaires and tech companies suck up all the money and burn though the planet in search of endless growth

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.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

The messaging around climate change has always bothered me. The planet will adapt and continue. Humans won’t. Perhaps focusing on the impact on humans would have lived the needle on making polluters (corporations, data centers, etc) comply with changes.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
