@researchdigest.bsky.social bringing that "make lemonade out of lemons" energy today. In all seriousness, go read the article by Emily Reynolds & paper by @dannyblanchy.bsky.social, @alexbryson.bsky.social (alma mater s/o!) & Xu: a stark look into #youth & #wellbeing.

Stayed up till 4 writing the very first edition of my newsletter, Research & Realities. I loved picking a story close to my heart & startup work! Here's a little excerpt ⬇️ full version out tomorrow 🧠

Missed the topic down below that said "sports" and was disappointed to learn that the Rockets had nothing to do with space exploration 😶‍🌫️

Between making videos for my #mentalhealth startup page and my #supernatural page, my family & friends are constantly seeing me all the time on their second screen, way more than they did when I was on break at home. I should tell them I moved away, right?

When you're on an @icahdq.bsky.social deadline and are thrown off guard by the most interesting sentence in the paper:

They had no business being as nonchalant as they were about this.

Go read the paper by Beautemps & Bresges (2022) on parasocial interactions!

Seeing a @hankgreen.bsky.social post on a #supernatural feed is the crossover I didn't realize I needed this weekend 🖤

P.S. in case anyone's curious, I've got my own SPN fangirl diary: instagram.com/anywherebutherefangirl

Super interesting! Curious to see what these differences would look like with different data collection methods (e.g., ESM) and measures (e.g., everyday technology interactions).

Thoughtful paper showing that true within-person effects don't always translate to between-person differences and discussion of why that might be.
