We’ve had a great year at PPR. Here’s our Q3 performance

After working in the criminal justice system having to deal with crimes against children, I would argue to not post photos on ANY social media accounts. It’s definitely very challenging to not post when you have a cute baby you want to share with world! Grandparents get REAL mad too 🙄

Melissa Stewart@lissajostewart.bsky.social · last yr.

I’ve spent the last several days reading very heavy transcripts from a federal criminal trial and I just . . . Please stop posting photos and videos of children on public social media accounts. You have no idea how others are using/manipulating those images.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Academia's culture of competition breeds this kind of cruelty. Too often, faculty who've suffered in these systems believe that suffering is what made them successful. So, they perpetuate that suffering with their own students, rather than seeing that success doesn't have to be wrought that way.

If you suffered in life and want other people to suffer as you did because "you turned out fine," you did not in fact turn out fine.
