the field of psychology has been cut from american research simply by refusing to publish papers including key psychological terminology and i have not seen ONE psychology institution say shit about it
FUN UPDATE ON THIS: We have been advised to not include any of the words on The List (pen.org/banned-words...)
Anyone know how to describe a sample without the following words: woman, women, female, Black, sex, gender, race, ethnicity, community, LGBTQ, at risk, vulnerable, SES, evidence-based...

the shock at starting at a new NHS trust and realising you’ve unnecessarily been on difficult mode for the last two years of your career can never be understated

i saw a post about how the generation that saw vaccines and environmental policies begin during their life are dying off now, and so we’re losing those who have that comparison. it’s harder to believe in something without clear evidence of benefits, and we’re seeing the repercussions in real time.
A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

it is absolutely disgusting that days after a benefit cut designed to harm people with mental illness, ITV News have decided the best story to publish is about murders committed by those who are mentally unwell, using harmful sensationalist rhetoric to further demonise service users

Whatever is announced today, your benefits won’t change overnight:
📌 Equality Duty: Govt must assess impact first.
📌 Legitimate Expectation: Courts have ruled sudden cuts unlawful.
📌 Human Rights Act: Cuts must pass a proportionality test.
Changes will be challenged and softened.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

A prominent Labour MP told me this morning that our activism is one of the reasons Labour are considering U-turning on a couple of benefit policies. Don’t buy the spin from the three Labour Party stooge accounts claiming the media made it all up—pressure is our best friend.

practicing self care and boundaries while juggling consistent outrage and grief at everything every government seems to be doing is difficult enough without also mentally preparing to go back to working in mental health where self care practices are so necessary to just getting through the work day

the only useful advice i’ve ever gotten for managing my ADHD has come from other neurodivergent folk who fought their way through masking, burnout, and stigma - not ONCE has a neurotypical business bro podcast made me go “oh that’s really helpful i’m so glad legumes will cure me of my disability”

i’m sO sick of predatory “health gurus” spouting nonsense on ADHD with no qualifications or experience because they just see another market to manipulate and financially exploit - a market known for poor impulse control and histories of being misunderstood/belittled for symptoms gurus claim to “fix”
Imagine having the confidence to give 20 hours of advice for ADHD, without knowing the most basic-ass information about it.
Does Huberman have a protocol for developing this level of Dunning-Kruger?
