I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it:
Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

The psychological desire to be the “true” victim predicts anti-democratic attitudes
The psychological desire to be the “true” victim predicts anti-democratic attitudes
Both Republicans and Democrats who engage in “competitive victimhood” are more prone to endorsing policies that undermine democracy. A new study suggests this tendency is driven by a psychological process of viewing the opposing party as less than human.

The problem facing men is that, like femininity, masculinity is defined by backward stereotypes about what men should be. These stereotypes – signs of financial success, respect & seniority at work & in public – have always been out of reach for many men.

Great news: finally Miles Hewstone is exposed. I stopped citing him years ago, I warned friends/colleagues when I saw them publishing together, I informed as many people as possible about him. We all did. Had this piece been published 15 years ago, everyone would have already known. Shame on Oxford.

One of the giants of social psychology was a serial sexual harasser.
This new report reveals how Miles Hewstone touched, bullied, and sexual harassed numerous women during his 18 years at the University of Oxford. It's amazing how often bullying and sexual harassment go together in academia.
