I mostly lurk & repost but may occasionally post unoriginal thoughts re:
* plants
* parenting a tween
* personality research
* mentoring
* birds
Things I’m thinking about but probably won’t post:
* imposter syndrome
* random facts
* taylor swift lyrics/quotes
* my lab’s research
* end of democracy

oh no. at least I’ve had outlook for work since pre-2009. plenty of time to acquiesce to the terrible.

I am surprised there was room for my hatred to grow. See my office pinboard…

obsessively review another folder and renew my hatred of email?

today I discovered that approximately 430 emails from the last 2 months had been filtered into a new and undisclosed folder in outlook called “promotions”. of these, 115 were emails I definitely needed to read (& definitely not “promotions”!) and about 20 were critical/urgent. great work, outlook.

thank you for this kind endorsement!

In addition to posting plants and puppies, I also mentor students interested in personality pathology. My lab is recruiting a graduate student in clinical or personality psychology for Fall 2026. So please send folks my way. Feel free to share! Thanks.

Have you read any of the Jesse Sutanto or Holly Jackson books? Or the Gallagher girls series?

Sigh. I’m loath to admit that I returned to Bluesky and saw this post and recognized the wrong use of the word loath/loathe. Sorry @merriam-webster.com and any ELA teachers who were exposed to this loathsome error. Also sorry to Suzanne and Don who I won’t tag but I fear judged me for this mistake.

I am loathe to admit that ‘they’ were right.

If you give your household more than 20 minutes from when you wake up to when you leave, everyone’s mornings are less stressful.

The start of the semester is like New Year’s Day at the gym.

Dr. Stephanie N. Mullins-Sweatt @ssweatt.bsky.social · Aug 15

Or you know, the one for Monday could also be good..?

AI would not have allowed the typos and misspelled words surely!

Potential grad applicants: I'm hoping to take 1-2 new students this cycle!

There's no need to email me in advance unless you have specific questions that aren't answered on the lab or psych department's website - everyone's applications will be considered equally.

Accepting 1-2 new students this cycle! ☝️/✌️

I feel I have become crotchety before my time.

Dr. Stephanie N. Mullins-Sweatt @ssweatt.bsky.social · Jun 24

Something people might already know about me—whenever I run into someone I know, get a text from them, or interact with them on social media, my first thought is always always always “do I owe them an email? what am I making them wait for me on?”
If I look panicked when I wave or smile, that’s why.

Thanks for sharing these! This age has been so hard to find books that will keep my teen’s interest and aren’t too terribly murdery or graphic. It’s wild to me that the most engaging and “appropriate” books she’s read recently have been in the murder genre!

I hate traveling alone only slightly more than I hate traveling not alone!

This is very similar to my feelings about party planning. My dream would be to plan the whole thing and then let others do the travel/partying…if only there was a market for that. 😂 I chose the wrong path.

I’m an odd one who doesn’t like travel. However, I do like packing for trips, making planning lists, and crafting out of office messages. So that was my fun Friday evening!

Mine have stopped accruing.
