In my years of reporting on LGBTQ news this was by far the hardest.

But we are still here. You made it to Friday. You lived. Good job. That wasn’t easy.

Through a diversity of tactics, we will continue to live.

Rest up, drink water, find community, so that we can all be here tomorrow too.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

The gov has updated their websites and removed the "T" from LGBT. This is a stressful time for us. I can provide life skills, coping tools or just and ear to listen for the LGBTQ+ community. I'm based in the PNW for in person or online. Info in bio.

The Plural of Anecdote Is Misinformation Scientific expertise matters and lives are at stake. It’s time to park egos, politics, conjecture, pseudoscience, propagandaβ€”and anecdotes.

Cognitive psychology teaches us that we all have biases. That's why "high-quality research is needed to support health claims. As physicist Richard Feynman famously made clear, 'The first principle is that you must not fool yourself'” @jonathanstea.bsky.social www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/writ...

A pond reflecting bare trees with several ducks just visible floating on the water. On the edge of the pond is tree and in background a grassy area lit by sunlight, a wooden picnic table… the sky is clear blue.

A person sits, with eyes closed, in quiet reflection.

Solitude not only satisfies the psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness but can also restore well-being when social interactions fall short. #EverydayPsych

Many of my clients in LA are reporting a common experience: Do I go or do I stay? Am I safe or am I in danger? It is an extremely high level of activation, one that i felt on Wednesday even from a place of relative safety that eventually I snapped out of enough to leave town. ⬇️ #therapistsky
