Refuse AI notes

Many medical offices are integrating AI-mediated note taking. In a different world where LLMs prioritized accuracy and practices weren’t squeezed for every dime of profit, this wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing. That’s not our world. In this world over-worked medical staff don’t have the time to review notes based on pattern-matching and hallucination. Say no thanks until and unless a legally guaranteed process for correcting medical records is implemented.

Thrift Better

Goodwill is convenient, but commercial, and religious charities may discriminate in distribution efforts. What to do? Most areas have at least a few thrift stores designed to benefit a specific target cause: DV victims or immigrants or animals. Some stores accept specific goods like home building or pet supplies that others won’t take. Research local options and take another step away from commercialism!

Voting is confusing, until you know how to do it. Help a first-time voter research issues and candidates, or offer rides to the polls for people who struggle with transportation.

Once a person votes, they are far more likely to vote again. Find your starfish, and help them vote!

Get Fresh Meals

In many areas you can buy home-made meals cooked by local people through networks. It’s a popular side-gig, particularly with immigrants whose daily food is exotic restaurant fare here. From trunk Tamales and private chefs to networks of home cooks, shift your purchases from large take-out chains to good food cooked by neighbors. Or ask about a barter, if you know a great cook!
