Every social ill in the US that causes suffering and neglect is directly related to white people’s apparent need to inflict the most degradation possible upon Black people. Even at the cost of inflicting the same suffering and death on white people. #healthcare #education #criminaljustice

I see all the propaganda telling people not to go to college and for academics to quit, and I wonder who benefits most from a less knowledgable people…

How Trump’s USAID overhaul could lead to famine in Sudan Across Sudan's capital, Khartoum, 742 kitchens serving around 816,000 people have closed, said a spokesperson for the civilian-led Emergency Response Rooms.

How many people are going to die because #USAID are not being allowed to distribute food? We need to talk about American Nazis starving Black and Brown people on a whim? www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

I’m thinking you probably have to fight them first. The system seems to be shitty that way. But if you can’t finish them, it might offer the companion option.

That said, most of the cat owners probably didn’t make it.

I’m listening to it now. Just heard the description of the universal system takeover. What do you think happened to family dogs? Automatic beast companions? Or Fido just tries to eat you?

It still gives me chills remembering the Riders had been singing while they fought, but after Théoden died they stopped singing and started chanting “Death!” It’s the turn…

Does anyone remember the first time you read Return of The King? The scene where Théoden gives his speech to the Riders of Rohan before the battle for Gondor… The film adaptation was amazing, but reading it… Éomer actually gave death verse.

When your wife sees you and loves the whole you, you might get something like this for Christmas.

So you sent me down a Reddit rabbit hole. It started out fine… But there was a turn… there is always a turn….

lol, enough to cause a family argument. But I grew up calling this chocolate cake.

Image of layered cake that’s yellow with chocolate icing.

Was looking at TikTok saw a video with folks arguing about what you call a cake that is yellow and has chocolate icing…

Let me know what you think…

Racism-conscious reflexivity in qualitative research: A practical methodological framework. Qualitative Psychology. Advance online publication. https://doi.org/10.1037/qup0000315 Abstract: Advancing research methodologies grounded in critical theories and fostering scientific knowledge conscious of racism require thoughtfulness, integrity, rigor, and an unwavering commitment to racial justice. It demands that we, as researchers, pause and reflect—that we consider the multitude of ways that our racial socialization, biases, and all levels of racism (e.g., systemic, interpersonal, internalized) influence the entire research process. This article advocates for qualitative researchers to take a deliberate pause and engage in thoughtful reflection about racism, racial identity, power, and bias, as well as the importance and ethics of questioning methodologies to help prevent the creation of racially oppressive scholarship. To achieve this goal, we present the racism-conscious reflexivity in research (RCR) framework, which invites researchers to actively pay attention to how (a) racial identity schemas, (b) racialized cognitive and emotional biases, (c) information processing strategies, and (d) social interactions between and among research team members shape all aspects of a research study. The RCR framework also considers how these four areas influence how researchers respond to and think about racism, its influence on people’s experiences, and its operations in research methodologies. Coding scenarios are used to illustrate the application of the RCR framework in the analysis and interpretation process of qualitative research. Methodological guidance is provided.

I always look at folks funny when they say academia should be ran more like a business…

I could have sworn most businesses fail 👀

Dare you to go touch the outside of your front door.

If you walk into a small barbershop, sit down, then have to go outside to hawk up a lugie after a productive cough and you ain’t wearing a mask… 😷

I hope they push your line back 4 inches… 🤬

Actually, my understanding is that the “micro” refers to the level of clarity of the aggression. The issue with microaggressions is that the target has difficulty telling if the aggression is just in their head. This lack of clarity causes mental discomfort and fatigue as folks ruminate on it.

Like, its hella funny how that works. Cause, like the young people connotation that like continues even though the actual young people who like really use the word, are like in their 40s now… (15 year old me is smiling 😁)

Healthy boundaries are understanding the difference between their needs and your responsibilities.

All this to say, we [therapists] sacrifice a lot to do this work. I wonder if we talk enough about our working conditions and whether we should demand better from the systems that need us to function and our colleagues who are empowered within them.

What are your thoughts?

But at this time I was early career and I was standing up to her while feeling very afraid and vulnerable…

Thinking back now, I should have went to HR and negotiated a different start time, and I should have complained about her abusive behavior…

Anyway, there was never a resolution. For years she would complain and for years I reminded her that it was not her job to police my comings and goings.

I'm not gonna mention 😉 that I had white colleges that came in late and left early who she never had a conflict with… 👀

She wanted me to take 8 a.m. clients and thought it was unfair that I didn’t keep the same schedule as my colleagues who lived down the street and did not have to get up at 5:30 a.m. to get to work on time.
