It is misguided to denigrate ideology in “science” or research. In social science research, almost always we are guided by values. Values (self, societal) often guide variable selection & research questions (eg professional treatment guidelines).

This connects to my concern over valuing “impact.” I value impact, too — yes. But unfortunately there are now incentives to get broad attention & to contribute to polarized discourse in a way that is provocative We need scholars & thinkers to be motivated by the pursuit of knowledge, not fame

I’m concerned about the role of social media in creating an incentive for grifters to leverage a veneer of legitimacy We see it all over, including the mental health services space Very defensive clinicians strategically diminishing survivors. I hope someone is researching this dynamic

Thank you, St. John’s, for organizing a beautiful prayer vigil for Trans Day of Remembrance. We remember all trans people who died and were murdered this year. I send love to all people who experience rejection and violence on the basis of how they present in the world. #tdor #lgbtq

Sending out a prayer to all trans people who lost their lives. I’m upset that trans people have been both politically weaponized & scapegoated. Praying that all trans people have loving community in their lives.

TW: death, transphobia Thinking of all the trans people let down by mental health services this Trans Day of Remembrance. Suicide and homicide rates are devastatingly high for #trans people, especially autistic trans folk. Mental health services have contributed by pathologising, not affirming🏳️‍⚧️.

Dr.Oz and RFK are going to force a lot of people to spend a lot of time defending an existing healthcare infrastructure that we all know is broken. But pulling the rug out from people who rely on Medicare and Medicaid is not the answer. The answer is improved Medicare for all. #M4A

We don’t have to trade our lives for efficiency. What is the point in being efficient if it makes us hate the experience of living?
