Going through old TikToks to make sure I didn't miss any in my content analysis. Found this video (on a diff. topic than my research) from June 2022. Look at her last point and think of what D H S is doing right now in 2025. When we say listen to Black women, we really mean it.

This week's podcast was fun to record. It was all about the way our brains process reality.

If you sometimes feel you are in one reality and other people are living in another, there is a reason for that!

Bluesky might see more users soon. Twitter and Facebook are planning to let their platforms become fully AI-driven, not user influenced.

From surgeons with ritual pens to athletes who won't wash their socks, high-performers lean on symbolic objects when stakes are high.
The fascinating part? It actually works; not by changing probability, but by regulating our nervous systems and boosting confidence.

I'm not a Taylor hater or a Taylor stan, but that new album is a Travis-ty.

Ever notice how some spaces make you feel instantly better and others drain your soul? That's not taste—that's neuroscience. bit.ly/46BpT1H

Psychological safety isn't a feel-good HR concept, it's a financial strategy. Companies with engaged employees (driven by psychological safety) see 21% higher profitability and 41% lower absenteeism.
It's the #1 factor in high-performing teams.

"Sneaky Grief" - why your first love's death hits decades later, how social media creates ambiguous loss, and why capitalism wants your grief small & private. Research shows grief rewires the brain for 6-18 months, yet most get 3 days bereavement leave. Your grief is valid. bit.ly/46aH8Wh

How useful is a data base like this if it's pay walled? Not very. Here is what you see if you look up a university:

Ever notice how apocalyptic thinking has gone mainstream?
There's real psychology behind this.
Plot twist: The loudest collapse advocates usually plan to survive what they're trying to create. It's accelerationism for thee, but not for me.

I need more participants in my survey about content creation and moderation on TikTok. If you have ~10 minutes, and you make any type of content for TikTok, help me out?

Sharing helps also!
