Hi! I'm late to Bluesky. This is my second try. I'm hoping to find some academic community and stick around this time. Since I was gone, I got licensed as a psychologist (10 years post-PhD!) and became passionate about CBT for tinnitus distress. Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8CM...

I have had issues & been hearing from people having trouble just ACCESSING their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please SHARE!

Fam, remember three years ago when Cory Booker brought tears to all of our eyes when he lifted up Ketanji Brown Jackson? “You are worthy.” That’s who he is. That’s who he’s always been. @booker.senate.gov

RIP President Jimmy Carter. You didn't preach about what we should do; you simply lived it. Perhaps the greatest example of leadership by any president after leaving office.

VoteVets Senior Advisor Max Rose on Trump's sudden interest in the Panama Canal: "It's gonna be Panama Canal this week, then the weeks thereafter, it will be another pet project of the billionaire class. This speaks to what the actual truth of this second iteration of the Trump presidency will be."

Questions our young adult patients dread hearing over the holidays: When are you getting married? Are you ever getting a real job? Still living with your parents? Wanna know how much your cousin is making? Please respect that each person’s path is unique & personal! #anxiety #adulting

Give a man a fish. He feeds for a day. Teach a man to fish. He feeds for a lifetime. Teach a billionaire to fish. He buys all the lakes and rivers and then charges you to fish them.
