NEW: “You have made progress.” “You are not a danger to yourself or others.” The denial letter from Geneva Moore’s insurer directly contradicted her therapist’s words. Cut off from her treatment program, Moore slid into a monthslong downward spiral. propub.li/40iZlPO

Her Mental Health Treatment Was Helping. That’s Why Insurance Cut Off Her Coverage.
Providers, patients and even some federal judges say progress-based insurance denials harm patients at key moments of mental health treatment.

I think too hard about too many things sometimes write thoughtfeelings down and let people read them + I steal money and resources and time from capitalist bureaucrats to facilitate group therapy political education for 18-24yr olds…all of this is part nourishing and part disabling

Archival documents are fun because here you not only get political critique and a revealing and honest look into national black politics (I particularly enjoyed the GA/Atlanta references)…you also get a first hand account of Bond in a Bay Area strip club with his wife

Was not expecting B*andeis to be a focal point of a Jimmy Carter documentary, nor was I expecting it to begin and end with tributes to the black woman who raised him, watching “Jimmy Carter : Man of the Plains”

at my alma mater, B*andeis, established as a Jewish college the same year as the Nakba, Carter encouraged the campus to send a delegation to the West Bank. I don’t know if this ever happened BUT I do know that while I was there the campus chapter of AIP*C conscripted blk students to a trip to Isre*l

Real life is not like science fiction, where the power usage required for processing rarely, if ever, factors into the plot. I still care very much about the ethics of AI usage but I really think its environmental and infrastructural impact desperately needs more exposure.

I know academics who use AI regularly, for work and play, and I'd really like them, and universities, to tell me how they contend with AI's bottomless appetites for power and water. Is asking ChatGPT to interpret a Xmas song or making it write your syllabus worth this to you?
Cameron, Ariz. Living on one of the largest swaths of land in America without electrical power, Thomasina Nez's entire life is a scramble to complete basic tasks. To take a hot shower, she must wait for buckts of water to come to a boil on a small propane stove outside her wood framed roundhouse. To make meals, she relies mostly on canned goods because unfridgerated produce rots qucikly in the Arizona heat. Its a struggle to stay warm at night, because she refuses to use her coal-powered heate after its fumes killed her two dogs.A fierce battle for electric power is being waged across the nation, and Nez is one of thousands of people who have wound up on the losing end. Amid a boom in data acenters, the energy intensive warehouses that run supercomputers for Big Tech companies, Arizona is racing to increase electricity production. In February, the state utility board approved an 8 percent rate hike to bolster power infrastructure throughout the state, where data centers are popping up faster than almost anywhere in the US But it rejected a plan to bring electricity to parts of the Navajo Nation land, concluding that electric consumers should not be asked to foot the nearly $4 million bill.
