The future isn’t promised. It’s shaped by those who dare to care, speak, and act.
And we do.
And we will.

In #Serbia, students have been protesting for months against Vučić’s rule. Yesterday, hundreds of thousands of people joined them on the streets of #Belgrade. Their determination and resilience give hope for positive change in the world. 💪🏻💙

Excellent reading about the cult of Gabor Mate and #trauma. "Western societies have increasingly medicalized suffering, replacing concepts like personal responsibility and agency with narratives of victimhood."

BREAKING: MSF strongly denounces Israel’s announcement to block aid into Gaza.
Humanitarian aid should never be used as a tool of war. Regardless of negotiations between warring parties, people in Gaza still need an immediate and massive scale-up of humanitarian supplies.

Word of the day: Fremdschämen. That's a beautiful German word for the deep, secondhand embarrassment you feel when someone humiliates themselves, especially when they have no clue. And yes, that’s exactly how I felt watching those two clown bullies yesterday. #Cringe #PsySciSky #TherapistSky

Watching the circus lately and it feels like the whole tent's flooded with... well, let's just say "fertilizer." Trying to find my happy place, but it's proving difficult. #SendHelp #TherapistSky #PsySciSky

It's shocking, yet here we are: Nazi salutes on TV, our sanity questioned. Let's be clear: we all recognize a Nazi salute when we see one. We MUST reject its normalisation, we MUST speak out. Year 2025 and this is where we are.🙈 Help!

"Bunt statt braun" is a powerful message from today's demonstration for democracy in Munich! "Braun" refers to the brown uniforms of the Nazis, symbolizing fascism, racism, and hate. Munich chooses diversity ("bunt") over that dark past. ✊🏼🌈☮️ #MünchenIstBunt #TherapistSky #PsySciSky

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been!
with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.
