Laura, you don’t get it… you don’t check it, you move on up before the shit hits the fan. Externalise the cost! πŸ™„

Stansted was actually fairly chill when I went through last weekend. So you’ll be fine. Not even my big metal hoop earrings set the machine off.

Hey! My friend Emilia has written a piece on the headaches of being an international trans person - which are considerable. Do read and share around!

Name change catch 22:
To change a uk passport you need documentary evidence you are using your new name.
To get anyone in EU to officially use your new name, you have to show them your new passport :)

Gonna bug my colleagues with this.

Also, the same applies to text generation and fact-checking. We are told that we are responsible for checking, but what is the economic incentive for that? As opposed to trying to game it?
And if ai texts are published and used as β€œreputable sources” by other ai…

Just a thought… it was a breakthrough for me when I learned that strong feelings are often not about what is happening now, but are emotional memories - we relive the pain we suffered in the past. The situation now just serves as a reminder, a trigger… you have to constantly observe your own mind :)

You know, there are 4 transitions: social, legal, medical and dealing with all the trauma… it is v. dangerous to think that successful 1, 2 & 3 will solve 4… people die like that. I almost did.

The only way is to slowly train how to spot and to switch out of ego states like the one you’re in. Cont.
