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

It's kind of a wild story: "Johnson never reported having a savings or checking account in his name, his spouse’s name, or in the name of any of his children. In his latest filing, which covers last year, he doesn’t list a single asset either." www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/11...

What’s Up With Mike Johnson’s Very Shady-Seeming Financial Disclosures?
The new House leader lists no bank accounts, including checking or savings, on financial disclosure forms going back to 2016.

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.

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.

US will make available up to $7 billion in loans to help Trump ally Milei tap Argentina’s oil and minerals

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?”
