I really should have put together a panel on DEI and activism for SIOP 26. That’s my bad. I hope someone else made the move.

Me still researching, teaching, and speaking on leadership + DEI because it’s part of my professional identity, it’s what I love, and I won’t/can’t erase that. Happy new semester!

I’m either extremely productive before a Zoom meeting and show up late because I was absorbed by the work, or I’m not productive at all and show up on time.

Sent my doc student dissertation draft feedback in less than 24 hours just to spook her. I know you thought you’d have a few days off. Nope! Back at ya! 🤣

I know people aren’t inviting Musk back into their safe spaces because he picked a fight with Trump… A wolf that bites another wolf isn’t protecting you. It’s protecting its dinner. You’re next.

As long as the bar for racism is set by racists, we’ll be here.

So if the name of our field is gonna be ridiculous, one approach is to own every single syllable. #OHPsych #OHP #IOPsych #iopsychmemes #psychology #psychologymemes #psychmemes #APpsych (rerun)

Rand Paul effectively admitting that the US is the biggest arms dealer in the world while sitting in a congress that does the bare minimum when it comes to preventing school shootings is the kind of sobering moment that “Second Amendment Americans” need but will likely ignore.

If someone pours bleach in your drinking water, waits around until you’re dehydrated, and then gives you fresh water just before you’re too far gone, you’re thankful for that clean water because it was a relief - it’s a good thing. However, you shouldn’t forget who tainted the water.

Can’t figure out what it is about my LinkedIn profile that makes automated ads inbox me about getting an MBA.

I hooded my first phd student last week. I couldn’t be prouder of her hard work and list of accomplishments. We’re now academic cousins.

“Michael” called to tell me my tv receiver box was out of date and I would no longer receive a signal. I told “Michael” that I don’t own such a device, and I could hear the disappointment in his voice. This scam would have been top tier in 2009. Times have changed, Michael. We stream now.

Recent BBQ content. We love jerk chicken. @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social @neillewisjr.bsky.social I used that recipe from Dole. Don’t sleep. 🤣

I’ve never felt good about Gavin Newsom. I could definitely put my finger on why, but I figured there was no need to share because he’d do it eventually. And here we are.

…we knew he’d go after civil rights at the highest level. Y’all were really holding out hope?

Another huge ruling! The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals just DENIED the government's motion for a stay in the trans military ban case. The government CANNOT enforce it's ban on transgender people in the military still. BIG day for pro-transgender rulings.

I can’t stand folks that write a comment on a post and then write “next” at the end. Who raised you?

“Autism on the rise” is a potentially misleading phrase. It makes strong assumptions about measurement that we probably shouldn’t make. Part of the issue is that most are focusing on children while ignoring adults. Focusing on kids is understandable, but we risk operating w/o a clear baseline.

Is anyone studying content creators and their relationships with social media platforms? I create bbq content for fun, and I’ve been stuck just under 5K followers for months. It’s obvious they want me to pay for ads to get to 5K. My engagement is down no matter what I do. Interesting thing here…

Letting my boys stay up to watch the NCAA Men’s Championship game is the kind of dad behavior I look forward to. Although our team lost, we won when it comes to memories.

47 keeps defining groceries as if it’s a novel concept. He’s incapable of appreciating the difference between $100 in groceries 10-20 years ago versus today because he’s never needed to shop for his own food and supplies. Instead of asking about prices, ask him how he’s saved money in the store.

“We must dissent because America can do better.” Good to hear Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford quote Justice Thurgood Marshall in her victory speech tonight.

Let CBook get some sleep.

Mike Johnson may be the worst of the capitulating GOP. His lack of affect and willingness to lie and mislead in the name of 47 is sickening. He knows better and chooses positioning rather than support of the American people. The “great project” was nothing more than a fever dream if this continues.

Every day is a good day to fight for trans rights.

Them: Those liberal protestors were paid to cause disruption! Also them: We’re giving two people that attend this event a million dollars each! Them again: No, it won’t be completely random. In order to be eligible, we need to know you bought into our ideology. Once again, them: George Soros!

Why did Greenland let him in the country? There’s not enough diplomacy in the world to make me understand why they let him in.

People are still watching survivor?

My wife and daughter are slapping sight words cards on the table like they’re in a heated game of spades. 😂😂😂

Tried to buy a lawn mower on fb marketplace. Pretty sure the guy clicked my profile and was like nah…

At a park in the middle of the city, and kids are playing soccer and football on the green. Beautiful, right? Well, the adults tend to walk through their games and get annoyed when a ball hits them. If you walk through where kids are actively playing, what do you expect?

Talked with @andersoncooper360.bsky.social about what is, and what IS NOT, DEI. And what Trump & his confederates are trying to accomplish with erasing the accomplishments of non-white people, women and LGBTQ people.

Paying $350 to fix two broken irrigation pipes in the yard and another $350 to fix a valve (numbers are rounded up to protect the innocent). I could fix the broken pipes for less than $50, but I don’t have the time and doing so voids the warranty on other system components. This is annoying.

When evidence no longer matters, institutions are destroyed.

In 2017, Trump took credit for a booming economy dating back to the day after the 2016 election. In 2025, he apparently hasn’t been in office long enough to have a meaningful impact in either direction. This was said after campaigning that wealth/growth would start the day after the 2024 election.

I haven’t seen “in a similar vein” in a paper in quite a while. This is where science went wrong.

Southwest lays off almost 1,800 employees, drops free bag check, and moves to assigned seats all in one month. This is all in direct contrast to the company values we all know. If hustling backwards was a company…

Mans said government agencies get tax breaks… Whose mans is this?

Trump’s view of an unfair deal is obviously a deal that he doesn’t like. If he’s not railroading the other party, the deal is a bad one in his eyes.

@anthonyperillo.bsky.social @kevinmking.bsky.social getting better!

People will put the word toxic in front of a random word and write a whole book about it. Toxic Magnanimity: When Excessive Giving Becomes Taking

I’m not good at crowd estimation but turnout here is strong. Seattle has a huge scientific research community #standupforscience

Hundreds now in Federal Plaza, Chicago for the #MarchforScience. It's another cold miserable wet day, but folks are turning out. #standupforscience

Second terms are usually marked by aggressive action, but this is regressive action that targets anyone that stands in their way. “If you lie, you’ll steal. And if you’ll steal…”

@mzickar.bsky.social and there it is…

I keep seeing people say they’re boycotting all purchases on Friday. I get steering clear of those that supported the current administration, caved to their demands, and those that have histories of being bad actors. However, “all” includes allies and small business. Why them, too?

I can type a word, see that word that I typed in my paragraph, and my phone changes it to something random right when I’m hitting post.

Pet peeve: I don’t like when papers suggest their measurement model’s fit was strong or exceptional. I’m sure I did this in the past, but now I just stick with “acceptable” model fit. Anything else seems subjective, and we’re usually not see all of the results from the CFA anyway.
