100000%. I continue to be grateful for the training I got as a crisistextline volunteer. It's helped me in more mundane situations, too, like calming down anxious friends.

Like, a case could be made that *restricting* access is dangerous too, given how fucked the US medical system is.

It's dangerous for people with low tech literacy, but Claude has been a powerful self-advocacy tool, and doctors have consistently respected the questions/ideas I've raised as a result of consulting it.

Would Oklahoma be much of a battleground?

Having "what's the plan with Leah and Ezra" as the link title made me worry they'd been cancelled or something. Might wanna add a hyphen or something before "with Leah and Ezra"

Fair point. I hadn't seen those articles and was biased by conversations with friends. I sincerely hope their hopes are realized despite my overwhelming skepticism.

Regime change wars from external forces don't work. Ask any pro-democracy liberal Iranian if they want Iran to be bombed right now.

Antisemitism is a problem too.

I can vouch that my liberal pro-democracy Iranian friends in the diaspora absolutely don't want this, and I trust them more than Hegseth.

Everyone is acting like liberal pro-democracy Iranians want to be bombed by the US and Israel.

The threat is there but I doubt Hegseth can get away with this one. Arbitrarily and illegally bullying businesses in this way creates unstable market conditions that harm all US companies.

Speaking out when you hear dog whistles from people you know is impactful, but I'm sure this isn't news. I don't "look Jewish" and thus, uh, hear some stuff, comment, and provoke awkward backpedaling.

I don't think there's any correlation between being a caring person and wanting to have children.

Sometimes I feel I should have a drama-heavy cooking/comedy/horror show called "ADHD spazz in the kitchen."

Really cool that he apparently both did that and work kinda reminiscent of Moebius.

I think about this one often.

The autism eyes test is kinda funny. One of the most autistic people I've known is extremely good at reading expressions bc he studied the shit out of it. The experience of speaking to him on the phone vs in person was markedly different.
