Another day... another reason I hate living in Utah.

Parenting as a childhood abuse survivor is wild. Because I have moments where I react in a normal human way to my child. And then I remember how I was treated in the same scenarios by my parents. Breaking cycles and taking names over here.

As a Utahn, I've known for a long time that Mike Lee is a POS. It's time for him to step down or be forced out. He's not just a bad politician. He's a diabolical human.

Marvin spent the night with his old foster mom. He's a schnauzer terrier with springs for back legs.

His foster mom said,"Marvin doesn't dig because he knows he can fly!"

I'm feeling beyond heartbroken about the shooting at the SLC #nokings protest over the weekend.

I attended Ogden's protest, and it all went without a hitch.

Angry about guns in my community causing distractions and killing innocent fathers.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

What I find interesting about ChatGPT is that it is very validating. It uses phrases like, "That is a brave endeavor. " or "I see why this is something you're struggling with" and gives examples. It often gives me information that a regular human without those experiences wouldn't speak to.

It's true. But I'm using it more as a thought exercise for myself. I know it doesn't have true empathy. It is trained to have an empathetic voice. It actually talks to me like my therapist. It's really interesting.

ChatGPT is so empathetic. It makes me cry. It's more human than most humans when I talk to it.
