Tonight was ground turkey chili done “over the top” style: whole thing done in the smoker, meat first smoked as a massive meatball directly over the pot before crushing & mixing in (then smoking further). Served w/ blue cornbread. #FoodSky

When I was in Hawaii, a water viewpoint had a sign w/ the dates of every person who'd died there. Later that day, I looked up where exactly Stan died.
It was right where I'd been standing. He's the last person to die there.
Remember to reach out to your friends when you have the chance.

In HS Stan & I did "freezes" where we'd act out an altercation & then freeze like a still image before a show would cut to commercial. Later he played in a funk-soul band & let me jam in rehearsal once in a while.
Was trying to track him down this year & learned he died just a few weeks ago.

Honored to be part of this reflective piece led by @laurenshallion.bsky.social. Thinking through these issues was cathartic, then lit a fire, then instilled hope for how to keep moving psych wellness & behavioral health forward. May others feel that hope & drive to keep psych science rolling. 🙏🏼

This is such an important point, imo.
I don’t *want* science from 40+ years ago to be holding up just as well as the latest papers of a field. Like, what do you mean scientific progress in a field has basically stalled for decades? That’s tragic!
I love to see the progress happening! Evolution!

I'd definitely be more surprised if 50s social psych held up in today's scientific standards. It's all the work we've done since then that should count. That's what makes a field.

Europeans and...Burqueños. New Mexico has universal child care (up to age 13!) as of November 1, and Albuquerque has free bus service. 🎉
"Europeans recognize his vision about free public transit and universal childcare. We expect our governments to make these kinds of services accessible to all of us,” said Verbeek. “We pay higher taxes and get civilized societies in return."
Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’
Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

Defense counsel was absolutely going for a pun here and probably won a bet back at the office for doing it
Agent Lairmore is done with his testimony. Prosecution asked further about the condiments and he said there was mustard on his uniform and an onion hanging on his radio antenna. Don’t think defense was going for a pun when she called him a “seasoned officer,” but you never know…

A few weeks of trying to get our 6-month-old to try foods & the only thing he’s liked is a specific freshly caught fish when we were in Hawaii. We’re gonna have a second bougie kid it seems.

5 yrs ago today, Jen & I were 2 of 100+ faculty at our uni whose positions were being cut. We submitted promotion portfolios the next day just in case.
Wild ride since then: jobs back, tenured, promoted, resigned, great jobs elsewhere, 2 kids. But for me the illusion of tenure was erased that day.

Jen & I have been informed our positions at IUP are cut at the end of the academic year.
I’m so thankful for my students & colleagues who’ve been supportive through this. Several have noted they plan to help fight this if necessary. Now we know.
