Competence.

TFW your gut just tells you to distance from certain people & it maybe costs you some things professionally, & then they turn up in the Epstein files. It’s weird.

I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

My heart. 💔😞

Academic salaries are too low to attract folk who value $. Maybe dangling guaranteed tenure will get their attention…

Immigrants score higher on intelligence tests. What he even talking about?

The repeated phrase always brings tears to my eyes. What DID I KNOW?🥺

Opinion | How to Think About the Risk of Autism (Published 2014)

This old piece of mine is relevant today: How to think about the risk of autism, using the common yardstick of risk ratios.

The only update is that the risk ratio for Tylenol is 1.0, i.e. no added risk. www.nytimes.com/2014/03/30/o...

For medical matters, rely on your healthcare professionals.

The Self & Identity Preconference provides a forum for discussion and investigation of the complexity of the individual and the collective self. This year's preconference introduces a special focus on activism and allyship, highlighting factors facilitating the formation of activist and ally identities and barriers to identifying as activists or allies. This preconference will explore the impact of context in shaping activist identification and consider the role of the current socio-political climate on our ability to advocate for our "selves" and for others. In addition to several speakers, the preconference will also include presentations by scholarly award winners, a poster session, an early-career data blitz, and a mentoring/networking session.

Announcing SPSP's 2026 Self & Identity precon (bit.ly/4mn2WDT), which will have a timely focus on activist and ally identities. We have a phenomenal set of speakers (Linda Tropp! Kim Rios! Lucy De Souza! Teri Kirby! Dan McAdams!) and are accepting data blitz and poster submissions until Oct 23!

Really troubling.

Faculty should expect to be video recorded and have those videos edited and misrepresented.

Faculty in southern states are looking to leave — either that location or academia entirely.

Blue states could grow higher ed to recruit students and faculty in a red state brain drain.
