Need Bloosky wisdom: I receive about 8 cold external emails a day from students, colleagues, parents, teachers, and strangers asking for advice, collaboration, supervision, or endorsements. Double past year’s volume. I screen, but can only answer about 2 a day. How do folks manage? Ideas?

Some friendly advice to folks new to the conference submission game: everybody gets some submissions rejected. I did today. It’s normal and expected. Keep doing the best work you can, don’t get too high or too low, learn from every decision, and push on. #AERA2026

This is how I'm feeling for sure.
In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

I am very disturbed and horrified by this. What can we do?
An ed psych journal is refusing to publish our manuscript unless we "neutralize" "political" content. This is after the manuscript was peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. DM me for details!
I'm devastated. Two years of work and revisions with four junior co-authors cast aside that easily.

Children's perceptions that the environment supports their autonomy are correlated with higher reported well-being, and perceptions of autonomy being squelched are correlated with ill-being. Cultural variation in corr strength. Autonomy need support matters! #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky
Relationships Between Experiences of Autonomy and Well(Ill)-Being for K-12 Youth: A Meta-Analysis - Educational Psychology Review
Childhood and adolescence are pivotal developmental stages for psychological health. An understanding of psychological mechanisms related to well-being is important for promoting positive life outcomes for youth. Research generally shows that the basic psychological need for autonomy is significantly associated with well-being. To examine the magnitude and sources of variation in this relationship, we conducted a meta-analysis of 90 reports to analyze the average effect of autonomy need satisfaction (ANS) and frustration (ANF) on indicators of psychological well- and ill-being for K-12 (Kindergarten to 12th grade) youth. Results indicated that ANS was positively associated with psychological well-being and negatively associated with psychological ill-being among youth. Further, ANF was negatively associated with psychological well-being and positively associated with psychological ill-being. Moderator analyses indicated that the association between ANS and well-being was stronger for studies conducted with children and adolescents in East Asian countries compared to studies conducted in the USA, Canada, or Northern Europe when controlling for publication status and measurement reliability. Results also showed that the average correlation between ANS and well-being was stronger for studies located in more collectivistic countries compared to individualistic countries when controlling for publication status and measurement reliability. The relationship between ANS and ill-being was stronger for studies conducted in the USA and Canada compared to East Asian and European contexts. Together, results suggest that autonomy satisfaction is related to the well- and ill-being of youth across cultural contexts, but that there is cultural variation in the association between experiences of autonomy and well-being.
