How the portrayal of Deaf people in film has evolved over time | American Masters | PBS March 30th, 1987โ€”21-year-old Marlee Matlin, bespectacled and in a puff-sleeved purple gown, cautiously took the stage and changed the course of film

Wrote a bit about the history of deaf people in film for @pbs.org American Masters in honor of the new documentary about @marleematlin.bsky.social "Not Alone Anymore". Brava to Marlee and director Shoshannah Stern on a beautiful film. www.pbs.org/wnet/america...

Strongest data yet suggesting that repeated MDMA use causes deficits in declarative memory (e.g., memory for new information, words, etc). #psychedelicscience #MDMA

USyd Psychology simulates psychosis through bomb threat activity โ€“ Honi Soit

One of the most stigmatising experiences of my life was coming out to former colleagues as having lived experience of psychosis. I lost my job and was devastated, but it led me to a much better teaching job that I love and have been at for 2+yr- sometimes it gets better honisoit.com/2023/08/usyd...

Big Tech helped bankroll the East Wing destruction Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and Google have a lot riding on their relationships with the Trump administration. They all cut checks for the ballroom.

If the destruction of the East Wing is a shock, the money thatโ€™s paying for it might be even more of a scandal.

Health practitioner watchdog 'stunned' amid ongoing super trend Australians were allowed to withdraw $1.37 billion from their superannuation accounts for medical costs last financial year, in another jump from previous years.

People are in pain, and high costs for medical care โ€“ especially dental โ€“ is forcing them to access their super early.

Restricting access to super is just papering over the cracks of the real problem.

We still need dental into Medicare - for everyone.

Lush Australia followed the UK example yesterday, closing all their stores for a day in solidarity with Gaza and posting signs in their windows to explain why. Except that if you walked past Lush in a Westfield shopping centre you may not have known because many centres blacked out the signs.

I also think its questionable to set-up a binary of trained/untrained as representing whether clinicians will be competent/ethical. If I didn't know anything about current research, I would feel mislead to find out some of the biggest research was retracted and "trained" unethical guides are rampant

Co-author of Consciousness Medicine, Kristina Hunter, is extremely clear about no longer endorsing Bourzat and yet Bessel van der Kolk, Gabor Mate, Bill Richards, Rick Doblin, David Nutt etc. are all fine with teaching alongside her for Mind Medicine Australia. www.kristinahunter.com/consciousnes...
