People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Hi! I'm late to Bluesky. This is my second try. I'm hoping to find some academic community and stick around this time. Since I was gone, I got licensed as a psychologist (10 years post-PhD!) and became passionate about CBT for tinnitus distress. Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8CM...

I have had issues & been hearing from people having trouble just ACCESSING their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access.

Please SHARE!

Fam, remember three years ago when Cory Booker brought tears to all of our eyes when he lifted up Ketanji Brown Jackson?

“You are worthy.”

That’s who he is. That’s who he’s always been.

Scientists knew global warming was an issue a hundred years ago… and the right wing still denies it’s existence.

RIP President Jimmy Carter. You didn't preach about what we should do; you simply lived it. Perhaps the greatest example of leadership by any president after leaving office.

VoteVets Senior Advisor Max Rose on Trump's sudden interest in the Panama Canal:

"It's gonna be Panama Canal this week, then the weeks thereafter, it will be another pet project of the billionaire class. This speaks to what the actual truth of this second iteration of the Trump presidency will be."

Questions our young adult patients dread hearing over the holidays:
When are you getting married?
Are you ever getting a real job?
Still living with your parents?
Wanna know how much your cousin is making?
Please respect that each person’s path is unique & personal!

I just had my favorite professional experience! A psychologist reached out to me because of a piece I wrote for @psychologytoday.bsky.social on birding! She’s doing a study on birding and psychology. Here’s a second piece I wrote. #psychscisky #therapistsky www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mind...
More Well-Being Lessons From Birding
Birding teaches us that flexible goals can motivate us without setting us up for disappointment. Here's what else we can learn.

Well done, #PresidentBiden! Pardoning #Hunter is the right thing to do. I hope that the MAGAs will leave the Biden family alone. Projection is an ugly defense mechanism when used by the incoming #potus and his administration. We all know they will have plenty of new targets to attack.

A classic piece of work by Scott Lilienfeld on potentially harmful psychological therapies! ☝🏻

#PsychSky #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky
A must-read of the day 📖:
Recovered-Memory Techniques and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)-Oriented Psychotherapy are, among others, classified as probably harmful psychological therapies.💡
