Don’t be confused: The Senate Republican AI language includes the EXACT SAME AI moratorium as the House bill. Almost word-for-word. This is a complete, 10-year ban on state AI regulation. Period.

Black History is Black Joy.

Despite efforts to erase, we persist. And so does joy. Today, I stood in front of Black art that reflected our light, resilience, and imagination. From family portraits to bold colors bursting with possibility—we are here.

Joy is our birthright. #joyplan

Going on two years now of shopping baby products and I have been lied to. Many. Times. But the using words "spill proof" has got to be the worst lie Big Baby has told yet.

Does social avoidance maintain social anxiety? Our paper is now published with some "free" eprints at this link www.tandfonline.com/eprint/RQK9U...

Or preprint PsyArxiv link:

TLDR? More info below👇

I will likely post more about this study later, but for now I'll just say that this pre-registered open-data study we started before COVID has found a home in Psychotherapy Research. Hooray!

Headline: Does social avoidance maintain social anxiety? Looks like it, but maybe not for all.

Is it just me or is it kind of gross that my manuscript is rejected then offered "a guarantee that [my] manuscript will proceed directly to peer review in Heliyon."?

While looking at one of the twins I thought "wow he looks like if me and [my husband, father of my children] had a baby"

This is like getting to redo my Twitter introduction post isn't it? Too bad I still don't know what I'll be posting about. Here's a fair guess:

Babies
Cat/neighborhood animals
Research (mine)
Research (wishlist)
Faculty/academic life
Food
Hobbies I wish I had
Unsolicited advice for students
