To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

It’s not a fun time to be an NIH-funded researcher right now so I’m looking for small motivators. Being about to cite this paper in my promotion materials stating I’m influential in the field is very cool. www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy...

The privatization of hope is not simply a matter of focusing energy and attention on oneself and one’s family. It is the withdrawal of personal expectation from the wider world, the rejection of even a possible democratic solidarity on behalf of a collective life encompassing and fit for all.

#ClinicalPsychology friends, if you are trying to recruit people who may have experiences of PTSD, but (i) don't have a diagnosis or (ii) may not identify their experiences as traumatic because its so normalized in the community, how would you phrase the advertising? #Psychology #AcademicSky

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others

The campaign against trans rights is also about stripping away everyone’s protections against discrimination, reviving, as Douglass put it “the moral blindness” of those who “persuade themselves that they are safe, though the rights of others may be struck down.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

One of the real problems is that too many people conveniently believe the opposite of diversity is merit, and the opposite of inclusion is high standards. Yeah, that’s just not the case. (See: Pete Hegseth among countless others.)

Another example are the social media bans/age limits. When scientists sound the alarm on things that affect mental health for youth it mostly goes unheard (e.g., school start times). But very weak evidence will be used to justify actions politicians already want to take
