By Kandy Fontaine (Alex S. Johnson)

In 2019, I underwent a four-hour neuropsychological evaluation with Dr. Kimberly Lanni at Kaiser Permanente. She was never authorized to treat me as a therapist, yet the consequences of that single session have followed me for years. Not because of the evaluation itself, but because of what came after: a fabricated designation in my patient chart labeling me as a safety threat, a misdiagnosis that contradicts multiple other evaluations, and a pattern of conduct that raises serious ethical concerns—including her published autism research at the UC Davis MIND Institute.

I am a transfemme author, editor, and founder of Nocturnicorn Books, a literary imprint that has published 40 books and platformed icons like David J. Haskins, Jarboe, Caitlín R. Kiernan, Ron Whitehead, and Poppy Z. Brite. My editorial persona, Kandy Fontaine, is a glam voltage source for transgressive, queer, and mythic literature. I’ve built an archive that centers the haunted, the silenced, and the divine. And yet, despite this legacy, I am still forced to fear for my safety every time I walk into a Kaiser facility.

The Origin: One Evaluation, Lifelong Fallout

Dr. Lanni’s role was strictly limited to conducting a neuropsychological test—not therapy, not ongoing care, and certainly not long-term behavioral profiling. Yet she issued a clinical judgment that I had Dependent Personality Disorder and Severe Somatic Symptoms Disorder—labels that have since been contradicted by other licensed professionals who found no evidence of either condition.

Worse, she appears to have fabricated documentation that resulted in my chart being flagged with a safety threat notice. This designation is not visible to me—but it is visible to Kaiser security personnel, who are automatically alerted whenever I arrive for care. I’ve never made threats. I’ve never acted violently. I’ve never endangered staff or patients. Yet my presence triggers a silent alarm.

The Surreal Reality of Being Flagged Without Cause

The safety threat label has turned routine medical visits into psychological minefields. I’ve been:

• Silently profiled at check-in
• Monitored by security without explanation or justification
• Forced to relive the trauma of being falsely labeled—again and again

There was no incident. No confrontation. No behavioral justification. Just one evaluation—and years of fallout.

I recently filed a fresh grievance with Kaiser, demanding that the safety threat designation be removed. It continues to cause emotional distress, disrupt my access to care, and undermine my safety as a patient.

Allegations of Professional Misconduct

My experience with Dr. Lanni raises serious concerns about her professional conduct:

• Misdiagnosis: Her conclusions were not supported by the evaluation or by subsequent assessments from other professionals
• Fabrication: The safety threat label appears to be based on false or exaggerated documentation
• Retaliation: I believe this label was applied in response to my questioning of her diagnosis and filing of grievances
• Defamation: The label has damaged my reputation within Kaiser’s system and may have influenced other providers’ perceptions of me

Autism Research and Documented Use of Restraint

Dr. Lanni’s published work includes contributions to autism studies at the UC Davis MIND Institute, including the Autism Phenome Project (APP) and GAIN (Girls with Autism – Imaging of Neurodevelopment). These studies involved:

• Simulated MRI environments to acclimate children to scanning procedures
• Use of mock MRI machines that replicate the noise and physical setup of real scans
• Participants as young as 2–6 years old, many with autism or intellectual disabilities

In her own publications, Dr. Lanni and her co-authors explicitly describe the use of restraint to keep children still during these procedures. The term “restrained” appears in the context of preparing children for imaging sessions, often in combination with exposure to loud, repetitive MRI-like noise.

While these methods may have been approved by institutional review boards, their ethical implications are profound—especially when applied to nonverbal, sensory-sensitive, or developmentally disabled children. The use of restraint, even in a research setting, demands rigorous trauma-informed safeguards, transparent consent protocols, and ongoing ethical scrutiny.

In my published critique, Spit Takes, I analyze the language and framing of these studies. The research often pathologizes neurodivergent traits and risks reinforcing harmful stereotypes. The documented use of restraint—on children who may not have had the capacity to consent—raises urgent questions about power, consent, and the ethics of data collection in autism research.

The Emotional Toll

This isn’t just a bureaucratic error. It’s a form of psychological violence. It undermines my ability to access care, damages my reputation within the system, and retraumatizes me every time I seek help.

I’ve documented my experience publicly, including on Reddit, where my posts have received thousands of views. I’ve spoken out not just for myself, but for others who may have been similarly harmed.

Call for Investigation and Justice

I am not a threat. I am a patient. I am a survivor. And I deserve care without fear.

I call on Kaiser Permanente to launch a full investigation into the safety threat designation placed on my chart, and to remove it immediately. I call on UC Davis to reexamine the ethics of its autism research protocols, especially those involving restraint and sensory exposure in vulnerable children.

I call for justice—for myself, and for anyone else who has been harmed by institutional misconduct disguised as care.

THE COSMIC VOICE 

Suppose you are travelling in a bus, 

comparable to living

In a house 

In the bus, people are talking,

And some are fighting too over space 

In human homes, 

You can listen to the clamour 

Of understandings and misunderstandings

Now, suppose you are standing 

On the road, 

And that bus passes by you 

You do not hear anything 

Except the sound of the bus

When it passes 

Cutting the winds 

In that sound is blended 

All the  sounds that are raised 

Inside the bus 

The voice ….shoooooooooon,

Overrides all the voices 

In which everything 

Human and mechanical sinks 

The voices and the noise that we create 

Sinks into the voice of the planets 

Which move like packed buses 

Giving out a unified sound of 

Óoooooooooooooooooooooo

This is the voice of the void

The cosmic voice in which 

All the individual voices 

Of men, animals, birds, beasts,

Winds, oceans and mountains 

Are finally sunk.

…….

OM

Jernail S Aanand 

Oooooooooooooooo

is the Vedic voice,

The cosmic voice 

Of the Void 

Which is constant.

When it enters Me, or Em,

It connects the two spheres

The Cosmos and the Living Entity

It is OM.

When this cosmic voice 

Ooooooooooo

enters man,

It is stilled for some time

Because of the noise of human bones 

How we express stillness?

A hush …..sh…shhh…shhh..

So,here it is 

Ooooosh…….

But soon man dies and this voice 

Retains its journey

Again…Oooooooo

Now we out it all together. 

It is

Oooooooshoooooooo (Osho)

Dr. Jernail Singh Anand, with an opus of 190 plus books, is Laureate of the Seneca, Charter of Morava, Franz Kafka and Maxim Gorky awards.  His name adorns the Poets’ Rock in Serbia. Anand is a towering literary figure whose work embodies a rare fusion of creativity, intellect, and moral vision. He’s not just an Indian author but a global voice, challenging readers to confront the complexities of existence while offering hope through art and ethics.   

If Tagore is the serene sage of a colonial past, Anand is the fiery prophet of a chaotic present. Recently he dedicated his collection of 12 epics Epicacia Vol 1 and Vol 2 to Serbia and Dr Maja Herman Sekulic. His evolving oeuvre, from the Mahakaal Trilogy to the Cosmic Trilogy cements his status as a visionary poet-philosopher, comparable to Wordsworth in his moral and philosophical depth, yet distinctly modern in his focus on technology and globalization, particularly his interest in alternate realities.

Advertising and the Language of Advertising: A Powerful Tool of Modern Society

By Dinora Sodiqova, a student of Termez State University 

In today’s era of globalization, advertising has become an inseparable part of our daily lives. From street banners to mobile apps, from television and radio to social networks — advertising occupies almost every corner of the information space. Yet advertising is not merely a tool for introducing a product; it is a powerful social phenomenon that shapes public opinion, influences consumer culture, and even affects social attitudes.

The main weapon of advertising is language. Effective advertising sells not just a product, but an idea. That is why the language of advertising must be persuasive, brief, clear, and memorable. A single word or slogan can determine the success of an entire brand. Phrases such as “Quality is our top priority!”, “Chosen by those who trust themselves!”, or “New convenience every day!” demonstrate the essential features of advertising language: simplicity, clarity, and emotional impact.

The language of advertising works directly on human psychology. It widely uses attention-grabbing techniques, metaphors, exaggeration, rhythm, repetition, and vivid imagery. Moreover, modern advertising is closely linked with professional psychology: the meaning of colors, the tone of voice, visual elements — all are intended to influence the consumer’s subconscious mind.

However, advertising is not limited to commercial goals alone. Social advertisements aim to promote a healthy lifestyle, raise awareness about environmental issues, encourage observance of traffic rules, and draw attention to various public concerns. The language of such advertisements is more sincere, realistic, and educational in tone.

At this point, an important issue must be addressed: advertising not only informs but also shapes consumer behavior. Therefore, its language should remain honest, free from unnecessary manipulation or deception. Advertising that earns people’s trust lasts long; advertising that loses trust quickly loses its impact.

In conclusion, advertising is the heart of the modern economy, and the language of advertising is its powerful voice. Carefully chosen words, clear ideas, creativity, and honesty reveal the true strength of advertising. The quality of today’s advertising culture plays a significant role in shaping the consumer culture of future generations.

From Within

From within I see

That the sea caresses the rocks

That it kisses the foot of the cave

The soft breeze stirs my hair

Yet, I don’t feel safe

Going out into the sun toward freedom

I’m not ready

My heart isn’t sure

About leaving behind the pain, the darkness

And the comfort of the familiar…

Perhaps I’ll wait a little longer

Before leaving the cave

And going out into life again…

It was Said

We talked about floating on a pink ship.

I will be imprisoned in the envelope of love,

I will love you with everything

My peace of mind is at home.

Jambe parv mountains will be in evidence.

Ujala is all around the heart.

The path will provide the ointment coating,

In green words green everything is positive,

Cover the words with a smile.

On the day of great impact,

I will walk and run with flowers of love.

You will be a shield in the marathon of life.

I will be the shadow companion with utmost care.

Today only words remain,

When you go away, you leave me alone.
