From liaaa.bia on TikTok. She’s been doing a great job of documenting and communicating with her Dean. The professor seems very uninterested in addressing this.

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:
A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues. An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”. An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg. An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.

"There's nothing more stifling and bitter than knowing you're approaching the gates and the ones you love cannot stomach to speak on it." is a judgement.

And speaking of projection, that was very much a leap based on my OP, and your replies have similarly felt based on assumption.

I've had two parents die already, so I've also been on "the other side." Friends, family, brother in law, all that. My mom is still a very different thing for me.

You spoke it with a "but," and I've also told you multiple times that I wasn't talking about avoidance. Simply put, while I recognize you didn't reply directly and did your own OP, I don't feel like it was compassionate, It felt like judgement, which I'm going to take to heart bc of the subject.

what you do with and for your friends is beautiful. It also has absolutely nothing to do with what I'm talking about

I've already said we don't avoid the convos, but it IS hard emotionally for me. She's my best friend. I don't make it hard for HER. And I'm sorry you've faced so much death in your life, but me talking about one very specific death tells you nothing of my overall experience with death.
stillnaima.bsky.social
You may not be trying to instruct but you are absolutely judging. She is my last surviving parent. Step father, bio dad, grandparents, all gone. I am her only child. This is without a doubt the death that this will be the death that hits me the hardest (after my grandmother).

Respectfully, it sounds like you're talking about peers. I'm talking about my MAMA, dying of natural causes. She does not have a terminal disease; she is completely healthy and mobile and active. I'm talking about preparation for the inevitable.

... It's very difficult to have the "we might have less than 5 years left" discussion. I'm never gonna shut her down out loud, but in my head I'm already laid out on the floor

In general, my family has a "death is a part of life" philosophy, and practically in terms of wishes, plans, paperwork, etc, we've talked through - and do talk through - all of that often. I know what she wants, I have the documents I need to act on her behalf.
But EMOTIONALLY...

Be doing math in my head and shit. Pre-sad.

Diane was 79. I was on the phone with my mom, who's 76, when I saw the news.

She was "Oh no... well, it *is* that time."

And I was like come on lady I can't do this.

Man, I loved some damn Diane Keaton.

A solid broad. Self-possessed, effortless style, never felt like she took herself too seriously.

We lost a real one.
stillnaima.bsky.social
YUUUUUUP.
It's also very pimp behavior to say "I wasn't even with her like that" lol
stillnaima.bsky.social
Kacie's ex got on the world wide web and said they were never actually together and always just a situationship and I I almost feel sorry for that girl. #LoveIsBlind
stillnaima.bsky.social
You know I do my little part to make sure you get credit every time I'm able!!
stillnaima.bsky.social
Yeah that bread is gone. She gonna have to go work it off.
stillnaima.bsky.social
The ex def sounds like the pimp.. or pimp-adjacent figure
stillnaima.bsky.social
Yeah I clarified further down it was feeling like sugar baby or OF.
stillnaima.bsky.social
I feel like there was DEF a sugar baby or OF scenario happening - and orchestrated by the ex who may or may not have been the ex.
stillnaima.bsky.social
Ok now I'm watching some of her interviews and she seems more normal but she's also had a year to get her shit together, so....

- The ex who told her to go on the show bc she'd be the hottest person on there

- The inability to make any kind of connection without bringing up sex

- the random mention of her wax aesthetic going immediately into "I'll do whatever you like" basically

- that unhinged ass "break up"
