Strangeness & Charm

It's touted as a tool to save us time, but I think it just makes us lazy and our notes less useful. I view the writing of the note as part of the therapeutic work -- it requires me to think over the session, look at my handwritten notes, distill it, choose what to focus on and document, to think about what would be useful for future therapists and current support staff to know, consider my approach and what techniques I've been using and their effect.......and it normally takes me less than 5 minutes to write a note.

And the notes written by AI are like, bland af, not helpful, and repetitive. "Used Socratic questioning" misrepresent what's happening, ( egregious one--"therapist and mom provided psychoeducation" when what actually happened was mom berated kid about her binge eating and therapist joined in 😐). Maybe if the therapist actually had to write the note, she'd stop and think about what happened in session? Idk.

When I asked, the answers were really murky and vague "it's a HIPAA-compliant program" but not how. And iirc, the information is used for training their system, so I also don't see how that's compatible. I looked into the company itself and didn't find satisfactory answers. (And I suspect in a few years, the company will be advertising an AI-therapist trained on all of that 😮‍💨🙄).

It listens to the voices, analyzes who is who, attributes words to voices, and describes the "type of therapy used" (badly) which I find incredibly creepy. (Even when there's like, 4 people in the room)

Everyone: "(ー_ー;)..........yikes."

Ragatha: "oh my gosh I'm so sorry I made you uncomfortable with my feelings I was just being silly, teehee!

Jax: "*explain in vague details how his mom was bad* anyway I shoved her to the ground and left her to die"

Ribbit: "oh my gosh you poor baby, I'm sure you didn't hurt her that bad and even if you did she probably deserved it btw can I suck your dick?"

Jax: "fuck you bitch, you ruined my tough guy persona I hope you kill yourself"

Pomni, after witnessing this and more: "I didn't know you played the piano 🥹"

Jax: "leave me alone foid"

the venus symbol on the left only intersects with the other venus symbol (= lesbians); the venus symbol in the middle intersects with the other venus symbol and the mars symbol (= bisexual women); the mars symbol in the middle intersects with the other mars symbol and the venus symbol (= bisexual men); the mars symbol on the right only intersects with the other mars symbol (= gay men).

i want to see this logo more often to represent lgb solidarity!!

tw for sexual violence and assault ahead

according to the account of the survivor, most of the girls in her ring ended up going into pornography once they turned 18 because it was harder to get clients once they were of “legal” age, but the porn industry would take them in because 18 = good, right? and sex work was the only option for these girls. it was all they knew. at 18, most of them had been performing sex work for over a decade. and they didn’t see that as a problem. most of them went to school. had lives that appeared outwardly normal. had friends and family who had no idea what was going on.

when they entered the porn industry, do you think there were background checks? do you think there was counseling? considering amateur porn stars are financially responsible for their own travel fees, their preventative healthcare, their birth control, their wardrobes, their urgent care costs when they inevitably injure themselves/wear out their bodies from hours upon hours of performing often physically demanding sex acts... do you think they were fairly compensated? it’s actually quite uncommon for a porn star to last more than 1-3 months in the industry, even those with thousands of videos produced and who continue to trend on sites like pornhub today. and the way pay works is like this: you get paid the more graphic and violent the content you film is. solo films don’t earn you much. regardless of your gender, filming scenes with other women only pay a little more than solo films. filming scenes with men is what pays, for both genders. the more aggressive and demeaning, the better the pay. you get paid a whole lot if you, for instance, let man violently deepthroat you to the point that you vomit.

how much more likely do you think women who have been groomed since early childhood are to accept these more demeaning roles? one of the most heartbreaking things i have heard one say to justify accepting this treatment was something along the lines of, “i figure as long as it’s happening to me on screen, i may be preventing men from going out and doing it to other girls.” this self-deprecating perspective is such a red flag, an indication that this is a person who was groomed. because when you have been sexually abused since you were a child, your self worth isn’t going to be very high. your boundaries will be stripped away before you are even given the blueprint for building them. and the industry doesn’t care. these aren’t human beings to them. they are products.

so when one audience member of the panel raised their hand and asked what the average person can do to combat human trafficking, the psychologist and agent exchanged a look and said, “you may not like this answer, but for starters, a huge step would be to stop consuming porn.” the fact is, there is no ethical consumption of it. ESPECIALLY when you are streaming from free hosting sites like pornhub, or xvideos, or redtube, or the countless others. there is no way to verify that the content uploaded there is consensual. or that, even in the cases where it is, one or all of the people filmed haven’t been groomed since childhood to perform sex work and are continuing to be exploited by the porn industry. even in the unlikely chance that the website you are using hasn’t had anyone upload such videos to it, free sites rely on ad revenue and often advertise websites that DO offer this. just a couple of clicks from pornhub can take you to actual child pornography.

there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and that includes porn.

Pimps and Johns don’t want you to be anti-prostitution, so they deflect with “why do you hate prostitutes?” so that people like you, who have bought into liberal feminism, won’t lobby along side us for fear of being branded with a slur they invented.

And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…

Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.

I will add it to my original reblog as well.

ur not profound for posting ur mother x daughter porn on tumblr and you aren’t making ideological breakthroughs, ur posting it bc it makes you hard and you wanted to spread the joy of getting hard at the thought of children being abused. and yeah personally i think if ur encouraging people being aroused at the idea of child abuse u can fucking die.
