Seems like the relevance of this Reagan-era Herblock cartoon has risen by 200%. Washington Post, 12/22/1988.

I'm putting together suggestions for sustaining resilience and engaging in collective action & mutual aid. Looking for ideas for academics & other community members. What are the best ideas and recommendations for concrete action that you've seen? (no petitions or form letters please!) #academicsky

If you’ve received a tax refund via direct deposit or paid tax online, consider moving your $ to a different account. Musk’s sleep-deprived coders are making Federal data vulnerable. Upgrading Federal data should be slow process. You’d probably eventually get your $ back but who knows when.

The no cost extension button is back and at least some are being granted. If this applies to you, go for it. PLEASE SHARE

Every single stupid conversation I’ve had with a scientist about anticipatory obedience and historical comparisons over the last week has had me thinking about how scientists’ political incompetence is one of the major arguments for a liberal arts education Like you’re literally a tool without it

I’ve heard good things about storygraph.

Trump’s trade war is about to screw us twice. Higher prices on Canadian goods and anything made with them. Then, less demand for U.S. products in Canada. Now Trudeau is hitting back with $155B in tariffs on American goods. This isn’t “winning”—it’s self-sabotage. Good job Trump voters.

hey question, is this bad?

The major media is utterly failing to simply state that Trump is a vicious racist, who blames everything on presumed racial or ethnic minorities. How hard can it be to just say “In shockingly racist remarks Trump refuses to accept responsibility and blames deadly plane crash on minorities”

Excellent post

I cut them out of my life.

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…

Most corporations are problematic in some way, but can still divert your $$ to best ones.

Civil rights were won through protests and lawsuits and literally fighting back. We are not in unprecedented times. We are in a horrible reboot of Reconstruction. Fight in every way possible. Flood those anti DEI tiplines with misinformation, spend 10 minutes every day telling your reps to stop this

What a very brave lady. To receive Death threats after the Orange on tweet. The ubiquitousness of just following is just sad

Got to speak at the Universidad de Chile. This link has a terrific summary in Spanish. Huge 🙏 to Jennifer Miranda for organizing! So impressed with how professionals in Chile routinely recognize the intersections of political, economic, & psychological factors. #resilience #psychscisky #trauma

absolutely brutal

One good thing happened today

My colleague @janepalmer.bsky.social and her colleagues have produced an important report about 988 suicide hotline, and non consensual emergency interventions. And the lack of transparency about data on 988 responses. I did not know any of this. #psychsky #academicsky

Check out this starter pack for Tennessee academics! Huge thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 to @academicabuse.com for putting it together! If you go to their profile, they are doing the other states too! If you are in TN, contact @academicabuse.com to get added. #academicsky #psychsky #sciencesky go.bsky.app/2YshbA4

Wisdom from his many years.

Also, I make oxygen

Looking for nominations for the Christine Blasey-Ford Woman of Courage Award from the Association for Women in Psychology (after winning last year). Someone in psych (or related) who speaks to truth to power, even when personally/professionally risky. #psychscisky #academicsky #edusky

I only need one more follower to get to 1,000! Anyone want to help me out? 🙏🏻

In Washington, D.C., a tax on residents earning more than $250,000 a year is boosting the wages of child care workers. Two years in, it's proving to be a great investment.

Nobody wants a student essay as a product; we want students to learn to compose their thoughts in written form as a process. I mean, would you have a machine run your laps or play your scales for you? In which case we would not say you had run or played.

Here’s a tip: stop trying to “supercharge” and “maximize” every moment of your life and just walk and enjoy the fresh air. #resilience #psychsky #wellbeing

If there’s any vaccine you’ve been thinking of getting, now’s the time to get it! I got tetanus (tdap), pneumonia, Covid booster (already had done shingles, flu). Take your kids too! A lot of people are going to get needlessly sick 😞
