The politics of hope are back.
The politics of fear are in crisis.

Tweet that reads Leo Xander @STALLEON Stop taking social media so serious. Nothing here is real. Look at this chicken V - it is bigger than the car
I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head
Atp I just want to pull my wisdom tooth out myself because of the pain it’s giving me, I’m so done with it 😭😭

Illustrations of a white mixed breed dog and a brown Malinois below the ThinkDogs Training & Behaviour logo. White text below reads: Statement on Generative AI
White text on a blue background reading: Statement on Generative AI 📢 As a dog trainer and behaviour professional who is also an artist, I am passionate about authentic creative expression. This statement concerns the use of generative AI, which I have had growing concerns around and is becoming more prevalent to see within the industry. Generative AI refers to image, audio and text generation that is usually done through the use of LLMS such as ChatGPT or Sora. The generation of content through use of AI has major concerns. These models are trained on stolen work from artists, musicians and writers who did not consent to this. AI generates no unique content, which means that AI-generated content always involves plagiarism. Artists and creatives are losing jobs due to gen AI. Gen AI also has a huge toll on the environment. As an animal lover and ethical, progressive professional, I have concerns about the impact that the tremendous amounts of water needed to power AI centres has on communities and the globe (and thus, humans and animals alike). There are large corporations that financially benefit from AI who are using their money to go towards human rights abuses and the funding of far right political movements that seek to further harm vulnerable communities. All content at ThinkDogs Training & Behaviour is proudly human-made, including the illustrations of my dogs Maya and Logan in this post that I made myself. 🖌️ For anyone who feels strongly about promoting real art and wants to support my work, keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming original illustration pack that will be available to purchase! 👀 We also welcome the sharing of your own actual artwork and creations, and encourage other professionals and organisations to take a stand against gen AI too. - Jasper

Thank you 😭
I’m still being discharged I’m not getting any help from the mental health team despite trying to plead with them
I’ve had another triggering phone call
This past week has been horrible as a result of what are supposed to be professionals
I’m being dismissed from the community mental health team because my needs are related to autism and not mental health according to them.
The autism team won’t help me because they don’t deal with mental health.
Forgive me for feeling hopeless.
Most importantly - training your dog should be fun! 🐾
Train with joy! 🤩

✅ Dog-reactive Malinois
🚫 No prong, shock, choke (or slip/grot)
🚫 No corrections needed
🚫 No pain, fear or intimidation
