Maybe Columbia should pull this page about they handled students protesting the Vietnam War, considering they haven’t learned shit.

This story in the Atlantic is the best public facing write up of how transformative these drugs are that I have ever seen. Most folks following me know that my 9yo has cystic fibrosis, and ,before these drugs, his pancreas didn’t work and he had cirrhosis

Now? He’s completely normal
🧪A child born with Cystic fibrosis in the ’50s could expect to live until age 5. In the early 2000s, age 35. With Trikafta, those who begin taking the drug in early adolescence, a recent study projected, can expect to survive to age 82.5—an essentially normal life span.
The Cystic-Fibrosis Breakthrough That Changed Everything
The disease once guaranteed an early death—but a new treatment has given many patients a chance to live decades longer than expected. What do they do now?

What if I told you he’s right and white collar crimes are very rarely pursued because of our decisions about allocation of resources and our priorities driven by dishonest crime-on-the-streets narratives offered by a complicit media?
This video of Kevin O'Leary talking about Trump's "victimless crime" & how "everybody does it" is so worth watching.

"Why would anyone do business in NY if they're going to get prosecuted just for doing crimes?" asks O'Leary. "I certainly won't be in any state where my crimes could be punished"

A NH voter on CNN just said he voted for Trump because Haley was too negative and that Trump “has left the language of vengeance behind.” Please tell me exactly how I’m supposed to start a rational conversation with someone who is experiencing an entirely separate reality. I’m all ears.

#addictionsci have any ideas?
This may not be a thing, but does anyone know of a measure for how much participants are using harm reduction skills for substances in their own lives (not providers suggesting them)? Even better if it is good for a general population rather than clinical only.

Some people will tell you it's "too radical" or "too extreme" to say capitalism relies on hurting workers.

But what about when a millionaire CEO says it?

That's exactly what Tim Gurner said when he advocated for more unemployment and more economic pain.

Just because Elon Musk condones, platforms, promotes, encourages, and endorses antisemitism and overt antisemites and engages in antisemitic tropes and is a hero to overt antisemites is no reason to . . . Ok I forget where I was going with this

a just released message from those trapped at Burning Man:

They have taken the bridge and the second hall. We have barred the gates but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes. Drums...drums in the deep. We cannot get out. A shadow moves in the dark. We cannot get out. They are coming!

2 types of editor responses when submitting measurement work to clinical journals:

1) If editor > 95 years: “Desk-reject. This is well known, see my PhD from 1931.”
2) Else: “Desk-reject. Measurement has no clinical relevance and should be published in specialized measurement journals.”

Hey BlueSky!

I’m a clinical psych doctoral intern at Canandaigua VA. I study how stigma, meaning making systems, and relationships are interconnected and lead to suicide, especially among SGM youth and adults. I also look at how to improve access to and the effectiveness of therapy for SGMs!
