Undergraduate RA at UNT studying Psychology. Interested in problematic sexual behaviors.
Presented my poster last week at the URD at UNT on how facets of problematic pornography use relate to depressive symptoms!

Super grateful for the opportunity to share my findings and I’m looking forward to continuing this area of research in the future!

So when I say porn is good, and porn is healthy, it's because sexual expression is good, and sexual expression is healthy. And records of that, pride in that, is good and healthy.

Being able to openly discuss sexuality is a sign of a healthy, society.

Being ashamed of it is not.

I'm running a survey on how *U.S.* academics (grad students, faculty, admin., etc) think and feel about recent executive orders affecting academia (e.g., diversity, funding). Here

Well, this is disturbing. Especially in a moment where researches are already facing heightened scrutiny and vicious attacks.
Three online "news" stories published this week that include quotes from me that I didn't say. But I didn't do interviews and get misquoted. And they're not written by actual journalists.

My best guess is there are massive amounts of AI slop getting posted as news and now I'm part of it. 😬

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked.

Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care.

And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care!

AMAZING

Any university that voluntarily shutters a DEI program, office or personnel “Because of Trumps Executive Order” is making a PR decision. Not a legal one.

Trumps EO does not change anti discrimination law. If anything, the EO is unlawful.

Universities should treat it that way.

Critics of DEI often suggest that it leads to inferior outcomes. At the University of Michigan, that's just not true.

Narrating my own audiobook is the only thing I ever ask for in my book contracts. I prize them not merely because I love listening to audiobooks, but because they make books accessible to more and different readers.
