Check Your Instagram Settings!

This seems important. You can read more about it here, but Meta’s new stealth policy sounds particularly dangerous for physicians and other healers.

“All someone has to do is tag your account’s profile in a prompt—if it’s public—and they can use Meta AI to generate an image using your likeness.”

Here’s how to tune this off..

“Open the Instagram app, tap your profile, and then tap the three lines in the top-right corner of the screen. Then, scroll down to the Sharing and reuse tab. Here is where you should see a section labeled Allow people to use your content on Instagram and with AI features on Meta, with a toggle for Posts and one for Reels.”

Mighty Fungi

AM (arbuscular mycorrhizal) fungi were in the news last week because of a beautiful study that determined there are “621 trillion miles of fungal pathways containing around 300 megatons of carbon within Earth’s topsoils”. 

This week AM fungi were in the news again. It’s possible that the current lack of fertilizer (thanks to the Iran war) could lead to a good outcome – the regrowth of depleted AM fungal networks.

“The answer is not to abandon fertilizers but to find a balance between fertilizer use and nurturing the living soils and the billions of microbial communities that quietly sustain American and global agriculture.”

AM fungi is a really good example of something very small and quite amazing that I’ve never paid attention to before. Good lesson.

Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement…to get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted.  Everything is phenomenal;everything is incredible;never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.
