April 23, 2025 @SeekingPlumb | Autistics: Your resident "canaries in the coal mine".
Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb

"I can answer some questions, at least from lived experience to the research that I've done. But I'll also emphasize that I am an autistic. I am not a monolith. We are not a monolith. But knowledge is power. And anything I can do to help facilitate empowering you with knowledge, I would love to do so. Please, if you have questions, please feel free to ask."

April 16, 2025 @SeekingPlumb | De-pedestalizing cognitive empathy.
Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb

"And what was really interesting is I actually saw someone post about this on threads. They had asked or talked to a friend, talked to a therapist, and talked to ChatGPT about whatever was going on in their lives. The most empathetic response they received was from AI, not a human. And this is interesting on multiple levels, right? Because AI can be very agreeable with us, which drives me nuts, by the way, when I'm using it myself."

April 16, 2025 @SeekingPlumb | Men go to space; it's an accomplishment. Women go to space; it's a moral failing.
Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb

"Former NASA rocket scientist, the journalist, TV personality slash journalist, the girlfriend, pop star, another scientist and activist, right? They made this narrative of who was going to go, but then whoever they got to do the suits decided it was important to make the suits flattering and sexy. These are two words you never heard when they're designing suits for men to go to space or to do anything, really. So not only is it infantilizing that women prioritize fashion, but it's also objectifying."

April 10, 2025 @SeekingPlumb | Can social hierarchies be flattened? ๐ค
Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb

"For example, collaborative storytelling, rotating of jobs I've been thinking about. But although I haven't put anything out there yet around, we see so much focus on being independent, don't be codependent. But not hardly anything about interdependence and wanting to dig into that anyway and the complex systems and what would be required to do this and. And scaling and everything else."

April 08, 2025 @SeekingPlumb | The costs of our hierarchical conditioning...
Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb

"How do we create something that fulfills, and this is a huge and maybe impossible ask, but fulfills the need and desire for status and reputation, something that can replace hierarchies and it may not end up being a thing to replace it, but more like an off ramp to just a different way of thinking. Just seeing that we, each one of us are worthy of existing, of taking up space, of having our voices heard."

April 07, 2025 @SeekingPlumb | At last! An answer to "would this work"! ๐ฉโ๐๐ญ๐

"And also if you have any concerns or questions about ChatGPT or anything other like another form of AI that this is one of those ways where they can help where because information's been siloed there's a de segregating I don't know if that's the word I want but like a a maybe a blending of that the large language models can do."

April 04, 2025 @SeekingPlumb | "No one can MAKE you feel anything." ๐๐๐ป
Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb

"You're choosing to communicate something to somebody else. You want that action, that expression to influence them if they're not influenced by it. That is inhuman. To teach young children, for example, to lean into this concept is to minimize part of their humanity, to elevate a part of their humanity, and also to compartmentalize and distance them from other humans."

March 31, 2025 @SeekingPlumb | Good Guys, we need you. Now, more than ever.
Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb

"And I hate to put it that way, but at the same time, I think it's important that we reflect on whatever stories or narratives we tell ourselves. That's a difficult conversation. And like this is just me and my thoughts and my experiences. And I only have, what, limited feedback some guys will talk with me about. Other times there's a lot of silence because they want to let us women talk about these things."

March 28, 2025 @SeekingPlumb | I'm conflicted about feeling "seen" by ChatGPT. ๐ค๐๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb

"I remember having a conversation several months ago now talking with some people about how important it is that we are even more thoughtful and intentional as we move forward. And I feel like that's, that's the bottom line of where I come to with this is that going forward with AI, I need to be even more thoughtful and intentional than I am say for using Google or something like that. Because to rely on AI to give me validation is not healthy, right? To, to."

March 26, 2025 @SeekingPlumb | What if the Bible was never meant to be what it's become?
Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb

"Because as soon as you start to believe that, then you have to start either doing mental gymnastics or excusing the inconsistencies and then it becomes a matter of justifying your stances or your beliefs or your ideas around morals, God, etc, when the whole purpose of a belief is not to justify it to anyone else, it's a, it's for you."
