Yesterday discovered I have aphantasia!! When imagining or picturing something in my mind there is no image, I've always just described the details to myself with an internal narrator.

A revelation that people actually *see* things with their minds eye!!

Academic historians rarely speak up like this but have made an exception in speaking in support of trans people in the UK and against the current trans exclusionary situation over there.

Not just a few historians but hundreds signed this.

throwing one out there…. Health and wellness trends as a means of individual vs social responsibility - how increasing population demand replaces food rituals and culture?! Very specific guess 😂

How do we value subjective experiences in mental health research?

Are people’s experiences of depression, anxiety and psychosis properly integrated into mental health research?

Not really.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
