Honored to be part of this reflective piece led by @laurenshallion.bsky.social. Thinking through these issues was cathartic, then lit a fire, then instilled hope for how to keep moving psych wellness & behavioral health forward. May others feel that hope & drive to keep psych science rolling. 🙏🏼

This was our pet Vanilla. She was with us almost all of her life. She passed way today at the age of six due to feline covid. I will always remember you Vanilla.

I am so upset.

Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

Mira en verdad que la vida es demasiado corta para estar sufriendo por un macho.

Dems *really* need to embrace anti-corruption

And here I thought it was “blue no matter who”.

To add just another nail of anxiety into our lives, I was just reminded that the tomb of Cleopatra has not been found yet. I know I know. Small potatoes compared to *gestures vaguely at the air* but on the other hand…. This now requires my full attention.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Between this image of Trump defacing and destroying part of the White House for his ego and the AI slop video he posted dumping on people from a jet plane, the metaphors are spot on.

And they brag about these things.

There definitely is a lot to say about celebrities being quiet in these times. It was almost surreal seeing The View not even mentioning what is happening to late night talk show hosts.

Photos of the nationwide Anti-Trump ‘No Kings’ protest in Washington, D.C.

The amount of cope by right-wingers in response to the turnout for #NoKingsDay has been delightful to see 😁😁😁

Dozens of delegates left the United Nations hall as Israel’s Prime Minister prepared to speak.

This reminds me to let all the mainland people know that Puerto Rico has one of the highest electric bills in the US. Compared with abysmal minimum wage, it’s extremely unfair to the Americans living in the island.

Reupping for the morning crowd.

I have been thinking about the consequences of attacks on science and education by the US government.

For my research field and academic family, I know the history. I am talking more directly about the Nazis and science when I teach cognitive psychology these days.
