The dog’s got so good at taking the treat and spitting out her antibiotics that I’ve had to move from putting them in peanut butter to ACTUAL BUTTER

Please consider joining the boycott of The Odyssey following their decision to film in an occupied territory where local filmmakers have been beaten, had equipment stolen from them and been sentenced to long punitive sentences (20 years to life) for filming their conditions living under occupation.

The queue for the Mobile Library yesterday 🐈‍⬛️🐈

Me: I will spend four to five hours a day reading and coding interviews about eating disorders and suicide to pull out information on iatrogenic harm Me later on in the day: why do I feel Mystery Bad

the way I immediately knew who this was without even knowing they had a new book out

Shhhh the tentacle guy is blocking (I made him)

Jesus Christ

Started reviewing a paper for some freelance work but I fell down a rage rabbit hole oops

it’s kit’s birthday on saturday! go give her some money!! #MutualAid #TransCrowdfund #HelpSky 🏳️‍⚧️💕💸

Signing off work for a week’s annual leave, time to relax with a lorazepam and a three hour podcast on waste disposal

in the uk this is why we don't support stand up to racism, btw

lol

my favourite thing to do when analysing transcripts is to copy and paste important quotes into a separate document and not include any details about where they're from. don't wanna be able to find that shit later! #ResearchTips

My dream is to one day be established enough to publish my subtweets as academic articles too

How is the *concession* rate for disabled people at the local council gym £27/month???

This is a terrible idea because it: - punishes those who can’t exercise (disabled people, poor people rushing between multiple jobs) - lays groundwork for dwp surveillance of the same poor and disabled people if they do try and do it - will absolutely send some people’s eating disorders into orbit

Amongs ourselves (the elite establishment) we have all agreed the poor and sick can do with a bit of dying off, a bit of a culling, we just have to figure out which ones and how many exactly

"Burghart agreed with Sir Keir that historical forced adoption was "a stain on our history", as he added former practices are "mercifully alien to us" today." Ok then why do I hear so many horror stories about a racist and misogynistic child protection system? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Normalise skipping the conference dinner to go pet a dog

As always, excellent from @streetskitchen.bsky.social www.streetskitchen.org/2026/06/the-...

Not reporting p values might not be a fatal error given they include 95%CIs, but when you combine it with the poor data, closer than comfortable commercial relationship, and lack of pre registration it’s pretty clear these are cherry picked analyses and should not have been published.

‼️Berlant mentioned‼️ at the sociology conference

I’m sorry WHAT

At noon today, Netpol will publish our new report "One Day in Edgware", which documents the policing of an anti-Zionist demonstration against the recent 'Great Israeli Real Estate Event' and a violent Zionist and far right counter demonstration. Look out for a link to the report in a few hours

Look at them handles

Out: Better things are possible In (laser eyes etc): Better things are inevitable

Heading up to Edinburgh for the critical suicide studies workshop tomorrow and tues with @d-liveability.bsky.social and co. Organising travel around mine and the dog’s various phobias and other anxiety disorders takes a good four days on either side of the actual event.

HUGE NEWS! A full year after having a cat flap installed, my 13-year-old cat has worked out how to go outside through it

“the Home Office would control which organisations could provide sponsorship and that all applicants would be subject to strict checks” so it’s just another way neuter potentially migrant-friendly groups. You can sponsor people if you dob in the ones we don’t like. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cat calippo, or Catlippo, if you will

Red warning has been extended to Friday so re-upping this! My borough has a list of "cool spaces" that are free for the public e.g. libraries but homeless people are often excluded from them by staff

friends fear she is developing critical realist sympathies

I’m obviously biased because this is my research team and I think they’re great but if you know any researchers with an interest in qual, even or especially if they’re mostly quant or “hard” science researchers, or clinicians working on QI projects: send them our way for this august summer school!

IT'S TOO HOT IN PRISON 🥵 Take action now to demand people enduring the heat wave behind bars have access to fans and sufficient drinking water This online tool takes a minute to complete and emails governors, Lord Timpson, and the prison officer association actionnetwork.org/letters/its-...

The trains probably won’t be running. There might be power or water cuts. Please prepare!

**** This is not a drill **** The Met Office has issued a red warning for parts of the UK this week. That means that you *should not* expect to carry on your normal activities. There is a real danger of power supplies & transport failing. Plan now. weather.metoffice.gov.uk/warnings-and...

the drum I will bang from now until the end of time (with thanks to @rrowanolive.bsky.social for waking me up to the problems with BPD especially as a construct many years ago now). great thread. thank you to everyone doing this work.

Local legends streets kitchen need money to support homeless people through the extreme heat alerts this week. Please help if you can. www.peoplesfundraising.com/fundraising/...

This is an interesting tool but like all likert scale type questionnaires, is hard to fill in accurately. E.g. I’m not really sure if I don’t do basic stuff like drink water and pee when I’m concentrating because I don’t notice I need to or because I can’t get myself to change track

Like twice a day now I read a headline that makes me remember that time I went to Versailles with my mom, and she looked around and went, “They had it coming.”

This makes it look like robin hood wanted the tree dead

Can’t lie I was anxious about this one because the backlash to simplistic trauma narratives often feels Pretty Bad especially as the care system has mostly not really implemented the basic insight that Trauma Fucks You Up

WHO of these two will lead the Labour party into the future??

Live from the personality disorders conference: we treated this group of absolute freaks and degenerates like trauma survivors and were shocked to find that made a huge difference

idk man if the trauma-specific therapy works for people you don't think are traumatised maybe you're just wrong about who's traumatised and what that looks like
