I’m looking for resources/guidance for someone with progressive psychosis symptoms, as well as their family. Any leads out there?

Seems like psychology needs more of this. Go Jess.

NIH has released new terms and conditions for any newly awarded grants where recipients have to certify that they do not have any DEIA programs, and that they do not participate in boycotts of Israeli. Violations of the terms can result in cancelled grants and payback reqs. 1/

These studies will probably get cut too when findings support that:

1) a very small minority of people detransition
2) of those that do detransition, the majority do it for their safety or financial reasons
3) many "detransitioners" REtransition at some point

trans people aren't going anywhere🤷

Either the decaf coffee at #CPA2025 is lying, or I'm very excited about something but I don't know what it is.

Feels like an especially strange time to be sharing about work, but I'm super proud of @karalink.bsky.social for writing this important paper for health service psychologists on reducing stigma and enhancing care for people who use alcohol! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Seems like this site is ready for a "Not the Onion" account.

I'll just say that I had to read it twice to find it, if that helps.

25 has long been my favorite number. There's a little drop of satisfaction every time I write today's date and I just realized I'm going to get this 10 more times this year!

Fortunately, it was over two years.

Got my first offer yesterday after 3 years of working for it and 30 PhD applications. It also came 30 minutes into a full-day interview at one of my top choices. I was just pacing around my house crying with relief during the interview breaks 😅🥲.

Although it's nerve-racking while waiting for admission decisions, it's quite a time to be alive. At any moment, I could get an email or call that is a true crossroads in this life, whole new chapter and direction. It's wild how much can fit into one short life.

Over the course of two cycles.

Just submitted my 28th (and final?) PhD application. Now, the wait.

Submitted my second manuscript and my first two PhD applications. What a day.

This Minas Tirith sound track is really amping up my writing session. Cookies + caffeine + defeating The Enemy is a winning combination.
