I guess we are doing intros here. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in SUD. My page is a mix of all my interests and I refuse to make a solely professional page. Expect cat photos, plant photos, sci fi book recs, harm reduction, and me getting to rediscover my love of New England.

Fear and denial are powerful emotions.
Most people have already had multiple infections and accepting the damage that’s been done is hard.
We’re also terrible at adaptation.
Too many folks think avoiding Covid means locking down forever.
They don’t realize the power of respirators & clean air!

40 years later… And the thing is, we already have mountains of data NOW that show what COVID does to brains. Why can’t we acknowledge it? Why can’t we face it? Why can’t we say it?
My dad trained as a neurosurgeon in the late ‘50s and they were still studying the long term neurological effects of the Spanish flu.

It's pretty depressing to find out that the reason we weren't succeeding is not because we weren't capable, but because we WERE and we had integrity and that made us difficult to control.

If someone says “gender ideology” one more time like it means something, I’m going to lose my mind.
Stop pretending like there’s not an entire scientific literature on gender identity and gender dysphoria.
They’re trying to ban the teaching of that scientific literature.

it'd be really funny if chuck schumer and some dem senators sold their souls to end this shutdown, only for a few pro-hemp republicans to throw sand in the gears
At the eleventh hour, Mitch McConnell slipped a provision into the federal spending bill that could end the shutdown—banning Delta 8 THC, THCA & even most CBD products. Congressional Republicans in Kentucky, one of the largest producers of hemp, are unhappy. My latest.

Your windshields should be absolutely covered in a sticky mess of bug splats/insect carcasses every time you drive across open country forcing you to stop periodically at gas stations to use their wet squeegees to try and clean up your view of the road at night
Thinking a lot about how poorly our brains recognize long term subtle changes, like climate change or biodiversity loss. We've lost something like 1 out of every 4 individual birds in the US since 1970, more for some species.
There should be at least 25% more birds around you right now.
