I work behind the scenes at IHI, and this year, I'm hosting a roundtable discussion on improving communication with patients at IHI Forum! This is a topic that's very dear to me, and while I've given talks on this before, this is the first time I'm hosting a session at work! events.ihi.org/forum

You guys fantasize, a lot, about not having to pay for labor or be responsible for treating the labor source with dignity. So much of GenAI discourse is about a desire for ethical enslavement. And that does not exist.

White supremacist cops take a minority citizen, drive him out to the woods as a threat, and leave him there. No, it's not Mississippi in the 1930s, why do you ask?

I've been preparing a lot of webinars and writing a lot for my website and other organizations. Rereading the books I read when I was first diagnosed with CPTSD, some quotes hit just as hard as the first time I read them. #traumainformed
quote from Stephanie Foo's memoir, What My Bones Know. "Trauma isn't just the sadness that comes with being beaten, or neglected, or insulted. That's just one layer of it. Trauma is also mourning the childhood you could have had."

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

So the Trump admin is sending more billions to Argentina. Exactly what are we funding here in the US, other than ICE, the military, and welfare for corporations and billionaires? www.troyrecord.com/2026/09/24/u...

US will make available up to $7 billion in loans to help Trump ally Milei tap Argentina’s oil and minerals
The money would help companies buy American equipment and hire U.S. contractors.

The Telegraph recently published an article about "sickfluencers" titled “How having a disability became cool." We've republished a piece by Julia Doubleday at The Gauntlet pushing back against the article, which she calls "absurd on its face." thesicktimes.org/2026/09/21/c...
A young woman stands by a staircase with a backdrop of tree canopy.  She wears a white, high quality mask and has long dark hair. She wears a teal sweatshirt and black pants. The text reads, “The Gauntlet x The Sick Times. COVID-19 — not TikTok — is disabling young women “Sickfluencers” are symptoms of a mass disabling event. By Julia Doubleday.” “The country is sicker than it’s ever been before” — now why would that be? Six years after COVID-19 hit, four years after the virus has been allowed to run totally rampant without mitigation, the country is sicker than it’s ever been before, but we can’t come up with any reason why that would be other than “women be faking?”

COVID-19 — not TikTok — is disabling young women "People are so unaware of the myriad conditions COVID-19 can trigger and exacerbate." "Long COVID is a well-documented illness" producing "outcomes like ME, POTS and autoimmune disease" and "increasing risk of heart attacks, strokes and blood clots"
Screenshot of a September 21, 2026 article from The Sick Times headlined “COVID-19 — not TikTok — is disabling young women.” A subheading reads: “‘Sickfluencers’ are symptoms of a mass disabling event.” The article is written by Julia Doubleday. Below the headline is a photo of a young woman with long dark hair wearing a white face mask, teal sweater and black pants, standing outdoors beside a railing with trees in the background.
