My #SocAF today is my biggest yet. I got a grant! After nearly 8 years post-PhD, over 60 other unsuccessful proposals, and a big pandemmy related pivot in the work.

Hiring a postdoc, grad and undergrad, all remote, for next year! Details below.

First in-person interview, rather than virtual interview, for my dissertation this evening! Hoping I’m able to build the same rapport but a little nervous—regardless, feeling compelled to incorporate interviews into most future projects. #SocAF

Submit to @SSSP1org Session 110!

I'm looking for the maddest critiques of mental health, psychopathology, and psychiatrization you have. Better still are works highlighting mad flourishing.

Finally did my @ASAnews Conference schedule and... not a SINGLE sole entry on madness* (and only 1 mentioning neurodivergence).

Anyone want to head to a Disability/Mental Health/Bodies and Embodiment/Culture/etc. biz meeting with me to suggest a panel/session for 2024?

Last minute #SocAF contribution: it's now been exactly three weeks since I started working only M-W and F, and on all but ~3-4 of those days, I worked from 7a-2p and then just took care of myself and rested.

Sleepless nights are getting farer and fewer!

This has been predicted since 2019 when I was in SOCAF (Special Operations Command Africa) when we saw Burkina Faso fall so quickly it was due primarily to Chinese, Russian, and insurgent attacks and cross border activities. Every place we vacate, China steps into with BRI

This is coordinated
Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen

It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world

It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction
