EXCUSE ME?!?!

This capitulation is completely unacceptable, APA. There is so much to be said about how the APA is a group that has an *empirically supported* understanding of how to deal with bullies (i.e., stand your ground).

We can sit and discuss the nuances of this move all day but...

From the American Psychological Association:
Logo for the America Psychological Association at the top and with shades of blue and white the quote reads, "There is extensive research that supports the complexity of sex and gender beyond binary classifications. The new restrictive definition of sex ignores decades of science, increasing harm to youth and families, while undermining critical mental health outcomes." APA CEP Dr. Arthur C. Evans Jr.

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

By way of introduction, here’s some work I recently completed w/ @dougaparry.bsky.social that I’m super proud of. Overly-simplistic narratives are attractive & easily understood, but also wrong.

If you are a statistician, teach statistics, or even just use statistics, this is a highly recommended read.
What a horror story which probably most of us know little about.

HOLY SHIT
Humanities and social science research cut from New Zealand's major research fund because STEM "made more impact on the economy."

This notion that the only kind of value is economic is INSANE. Humans are not robots and humanity is not just capitalism.

Sorry to hear!

My brilliant linguist colleague @rbkh.bsky.social and I wrote a column on this - perhaps useful to your student www.nature.com/articles/d41....
If you can’t be kind in peer review, be neutral
Expressive language can make for better reading, but pruning it from peer reviews might create a kinder research culture, say Rebekah Baglini and Christine Parsons.

We've added our Gender Self-Determination sticker to our sticker archive, in case you want to download it in order to print your own.

crimethinc.com/stickers/gen...

We've also been sending them out with mailorders!
A sticker design reading "For every fascist who plans to attack drag queen story hour, there are three anti-fascists ready to defend it. For every boss who harasses you, there are ten workers who will back you up. For every judge who seeks to ban abortion, there are twenty collectives stockpiling Mifepristone and Misoprostol. For every cop who is paid to enforce transphobic legislation, there are a hundred gender outlaws determined to defy them. For every politician who tries to prohibit talking about gender in school, there are a thousand students charting their own paths beyond the binary. For every bigot who wants to etch their biases in stone, there is a movement that is already changing the world. For every person that takes one step towards freedom, there is another who finds the road to liberation a little easier."

Insane asylums & state hospitals for housing & treating people with mental illness became popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s across the US. I teach the history of these policies, the architecture of these buildings & grounds, humanitarian critiques, Hollywood imagination, & more. #PsychLaw 1/

From #Gaza and #Sudan to #Ukraine, #DRC, #Haiti and many more, children are paying an immensely high price for conflict.

They are severely affected by violence, destruction of schools and infrastructure, and compromised health services.
They need safety, services and peace.

The image is a humorous illustration titled “Types of Psychotherapy Research Papers.” It features a 3x3 grid of nine panels, each describing a stereotypical type of psychotherapy research paper with accompanying simplified visuals of mock text and figures. The captions in each panel are as follows: 1. Top left: “Oh my gosh, everything works equally well, please stop yelling.” (Mock text with a blank rectangle in the middle.) 2. Top center: “We made a simple, 243-component treatment manual, but these pesky therapists won’t do it how we tell them.” (Mock text and various line diagrams.) 3. Top right: “Oh my gosh, everything works equally poorly, and now I’m gonna yell about it.” (Mock text filling the page.) 4. Middle left: “Ten white, middle-class adults who got a full course of gold-standard therapy felt better than ten white, middle-class adults who we ignored for 6 months.” (Mock text with sparse lines in places.) 5. Middle center: “Trial of an established treatment, but with brain pictures, so now it’s real!” (Mock text with a brain scan icon.) 6. Middle right: “We didn’t ask what these people want to change about their lives, but PHQ scores dropped 3 points, so treatment definitely worked.” (Mock text and a bar graph.) 7. Bottom left: “Our therapy works! For the low cost of $10,000, 200 training hours, & your first-born child, you too can be a certified provider.” (Mock text with a lot of empty space.) 8. Bottom center: “We made up a totally new & very unique therapy, and it is not at all a minor variation of stuff that already exists.” (Mock text resembling a dense manuscript.) 9. Bottom right: “That’s great and all, but none of it matters if most people can’t access care.” (Mock text with blank rectangles, possibly representing figures.) This cartoon satirizes common themes and issues in psychotherapy research, such as accessibility, replicability, overcomplicated methods, and narrow study populations.
