Used up some Christmas turkey stock and instant dashi powder to make a 🔥 ramen. The frozen precooked duck was an amazing and pretty reasonably priced cheat!

Another day, another stupid Excel chart.

Today I came back from my month-long 'mini sabbatical' featuring R&R, progress on personal writing projects, and my birthday! 🎂 Had a wonderful meal at my fave restaurant, Vij's, spent quality time with my chosen family, and caught up on gaming. Grateful to have made the most of it in my own way ❤️

I dunno man, I think precipitously canceling people's funding caused a lot of damage to other people's careers and lives and reputations and maybe they should live with the blowback. They come from a media ecosystem that makes public lists of insufficiently bigoted professors.

I don't have much to add that other folks haven't said, but as a historian of the queer internet, this doesn't surprise me at all. LGBTQ users are convenient corporate props...until they're not worth protecting.

2025 was "one of the most dangerous years on record for LGBTQ Americans," according to a new report.

New CfP in Qualitative Research in Psychology: 🔮 "The Future of Rigorous Qualitative Research" We're inviting papers that address the big question: What does the *future* of good, quality, rigorous qual research look like? 📄 Deadline Sept 2026 💬 Happy to answer Qs docs.google.com/document/d/1...

New paper, led by @jngardiner.bsky.social. We look at queer & trans visibility on social media and negotiations of safety for LGBTQ+ young people - drawing from interviews with young people, service providers and LGBTQ+ creators. Reach out if you'd like a copy www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

We should no longer trust data collected on MTurk link.springer.com/article/10.3... My guess is that other online data is going to drop in quality due to LLMs. This is going to be an existential crisis for the behavioral sciences.

#MorningReads Anti-DEI legislation is linked to disrupted teaching, worse mental health, and higher intent to leave—especially for LGBQ+ faculty, who report greater impacts and vulnerability shaped by identity and tenure status. #sexres&socpol

The Danganronpa soundtrack is the perfect amount of catchy and repetitive but not so intrusive that it becomes a distraction from my writing (e.g., anything with lyrics or that make me daydream about gaming moments). Anyway here's what my next 10 hours sounds like ✍️: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbLP...

Saying goodbye to 2025 with one of our most important posts: INQYR's holiday pets! ❤️ Wishing you all a happy and safe New Year; we will see you in 2026! 🥂🎉

A sad but unsurprising study: bullying victimization is associated with more than double the odds of suicide attempts among sexual minority people.

LGBTQ+ well-being varies sharply worldwide in a global sample (N=82k). Structural and family homophobia strongly reduced well-being—especially for those facing economic precarity. Reducing homophobic stigma should be a public health priority. #SOGIData #LGBTQHealth

It is endlessly frustrating to see grifters get rewarded for manufacturing the same predictable outrage over and over. This poor trans TA has been made an example of and is being pushed out of her career for simply doing her job. So gross and cynical, UO decision makers should be ashamed.

Christmas dinner: success! 💪

AI presents a fundamental threat to our ability to use polls to assess public opinion. Bad actors who are able to infiltrate panels can flip close election polls for less than the cost of a Starbucks coffee. Models will also infer and confirm hypotheses in experiments. Current quality checks fail

As @seanjwestwood.bsky.social's terrifying new PNAS article demonstrates, LLMs can now pass almost every attention check, mirror personas, stay consistent across pages, and systematically bias responses in the aggregate. So here’s a different angle: verify physical presence, not text.

I wrote about the dirty, demeaning, absolutely booming business of turning something like a shitty bigoted college essay into a shitty public career as a bigot, and also estimated how old Marine Todd would be today. defector.com/the-conserva...

My latest article is now up on ASR. In it, we argue that the U.S. LGBTQ movement is in the midst of a widespread, conflictual process of generational turnover—with important implications for the future of the movement. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

🚨 SynthNet is out 🚨 Researchers propose new constructs and measures faster than anyone can track. We (@anniria.bsky.social @ruben.the100.ci) built a search engine to check what already exists and help identify redundancies; indexing 74,000 scales from ~31,500 instruments in APA PsycTests. 🧵1/3

Far too little attention's given to this in research methods training. And since online surveys are now the default method - wrongly assumed to be quick, easy and cheap - we're in a big mess of our own making. Even if 'real people' respond, surveys are often so badly designed data is meaningless.
