Happy b’day, “Pet Sounds” — released by The Beach Boys today in 1966 and a groundbreaking influence in music. 🎂

“I bought my kids each a copy of it for their education in life,” Paul McCartney once said. “I figure no one is educated musically until they’ve heard this album.”

All the books I ordered last week just arrived! Can't wait to pour myself a drink, relax, be too tired to read and play around on my phone all night

Virginia Giuffre ❤️

Thank you for being our voice; a guiding light for so many survivors in experiences of darkness. Even though we are so much poorer for your loss, I really hope you have finally found peace.

Nest building is in full swing.
Great & Blue Tits are particularly active, coming to the kitchen window to collect natural jute twine, which I've cut into 1 inch lengths & blitzed in the food processor.
There's absolutely no risk of entanglement when the jute is processed like this.

The big science story this week was that the shingles vaccine appears to lower dementia risk

But they're not sure why

I wish that #Psych was more open to publishing findings that are important, even if we don't know the mechanism (yet)

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

I've had so many experiences where feelings about "the fee" end up meaning so... many... other... things... 🙊

It really is a link to unconscious depths!

Certain concepts rooted in psychoanalytic thinking are so central to psychology today that they would almost certainly reemerge in some form or other even if all existing records of psychoanalytic theory were to vanish from the earth.

It can be hard juggling life especially if you're Autistic. You may use more energy if you have to mask & have little time to recover in ways that meet your authentic Autistic needs (eg unmasked alone time, stimming, time with special interests).

What helps you get through burnout?
Any resources?

“Unless they hear otherwise, many younger psychologists - especially those who have been trained during the current cognitive era - begin their careers convinced that psychoanalytic concepts have been relegated to the ash heap of psychological history.”
