Be kind. Be kind when you can. By any measure, the world is in crisis and we're all running on empty. Your empathy can make all the difference, in the moments you can provide it. RIP to my uplifting friend, Chris, who exemplified this so well.

@breath_Guy See, cool mentions like this are why I'm still on this dang platform! It was fun to find those areas of overlap between all the different ways breathwork exists in the world. Writing now ;)

instead of having a credit score everyone should be assigned a library card at birth, and the card is good for libraries all over the nation and there are prizes for having read a certain number of books.

@LynnePDX True. A friend just had some rainbow streamers yanked off her car at the PDX waiting lot *while she was in the car.* Of course, as these things always go, she's one of the sunniest people I know, truly a lovely human being.

When the subject line is BULLSHIT you know it's going to be ugly. And so it was ... "QUIT GIVING THESE SCUMBAG, PARASITE FREAKS A PLATFORM ..." If you think anti-LGBTQ sentiment is not alive in Oregon among some, think again.

There are also optimal levels vs. "normal" levels, particularly for endurance athletes. Yet I have never had a medical provider reference this with me, including MDs board certified in sports medicine. It's either "iron looks good" or "iron is low."

Being a Black woman means you get a PhD in a field, do award winning research & such & white dudes come over & ask you to show your receipts & compare yourself to cult leaders writing blogposts who have people worshipping their self proclaimed high IQ & talk about bombing things.

@timnitGebru Yudkowsky is not working on machine learning and AI development research. Are you? How many of the people in that panel are? How many of them working on frontier models? Eliezer is certainly working on developing and communicating his ideas about existential risk from AGI/ASI.

@dianakelly On the whole, I suspect refusals to pay late fees far outnumber bonuses.

This is your freelance reminder to negotiate up front. Never have I ever... had a client say "Wow, that copy was so great, here's an extra $50, $100, etc." They might say they 🩷 the article & give me more assignments but never a "bonus" 'just because' it was good. You?

@JeremyBRoberts Catching fish and throwing them back. Catching sharks and then *sitting on them on the beach* so people can take pictures.

Name something people do in nature that bothers you. I’ll start.

@JeremyBRoberts It's baffling that they ran this around the same time as an article on oil spill prevention by @WhySharksMatter (or possibly just tweeted them around the same time, but still). Color me confused.

This is really bad behavior. The seafloor is an ecosystem. There is nothing valuable being taught here. It’s really unfortunate this is being promoted.

Some of you may have wondered what has been going on with the ⁦@IBWellsSociety⁩ and why we've offered no programming in months. Well, since we announced to UNC we were leaving in December, the university held onto our money until a few weeks ago. ncnewsline.com/2023/06/12/ida…

@natsfert Outlets are willing to push for diverse sourcing (yay!) when it means more work without more $ for writers. It would be odd if the same outlets were not willing to expend more of their own resources to pay a living wage to interns to improve diversity in the field.

Had a convo with a young aspiring reporter today who noted that the interns for national outlets this summer are predominantly Ivy League and top 10 j-school students. The reporter wondered where or if they would fit in national news. As an industry, we can do better.

@alanasaltz @jewstein3000 Watch for differences in how you hold your jaw. Lips together, teeth apart, tongue slightly behind top middle teeth can help jaw relax. Depends on the person, but avoiding ear loops and wearing sunglasses (avoids squinting) or lidocaine patches (rx or otc) may help.
