Today, I had the brilliant opportunity of attending a talk by Professor Gina Rippon @ginarippon.bsky.social , where she introduced her new book The Lost Girls of Autism. (1/4)

I’ve just submitted my first PhD study for publication — and it's officially up as a preprint! "Exploring Public perceptions of Social media: A preregistered Mixed-Methods Study” --> osf.io/preprints/ps... 📱🥳💜(1/5)

hoping you have a quiet moment

Media is media-ing again. Blaming video games, music, or media offers simple answers but ignores deeper systemic issues like inequality, mental health, and violence. It's lazy, unsupported by evidence, and distracts from real solutions that require accountability and change. #moralpanic

Adding this to my watch list 👀👀

In the time we've had a TikTok paper under review (not that long), one country has passed a bill to ban social media and a court in the US has rejected an attempt to appeal a law - paving the way for a TikTok ban. Our results = there will be no psychological benefits of a ban. osf.io/preprints/ps...

I need bluesky to add bookmarks so I have a place to put things I'll never look at again

What happened in April?👽🎸🤣 #spotifywrapped #goblincore

If you're able, donating blood can be an incredible way to help out, it's quick, easy and you even get biscuits. Today is donation #10 for me! ❤️ #donateblood #nhsgiveblood

Long #Thread Before my late in life #autism diagnosis I had occasional emotional outbursts. These generally happened at home after a sustained period of pressure at school or at work. When I discovered I was #Autistic I realised that these were actually what people call #meltdowns.

This is an excellent video on bot farms and how they’re trying to twist our perception of truth and reality #Cyberpsychology

Banning social media ≠ solving youth mental health issues. It's time for better, evidence-based policies rather than scapegoating social media. Teens need digital skills to thrive. Read more: www.linkedin.com/pulse/social... Drawing on work with Craig Sewall and @peteetchells.bsky.social's call.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. A day to remember lives we've lost from anti-trans violence. After losing a friend (who happened to be trans) earlier this year, this topic is especially close to my heart. Trans-ness is to celebrate your true self and I will always be a fierce ally 🏳️‍⚧️

My latest with @jessrauchberg.bsky.social! Here we look at influencer snark, and how it draws on anti fandom, cancel culture, and gossip in order to critique influencer credibility and authenticity. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Thank you @tellynelly.bsky.social for your amazing inaugural lecture! I love attending talks outside of my field, I found the topic of informed consent for reality TV participants and the exploitation of working-class people especially important.

I created a cyberpsychology / media effects etc starter pack from my following list - please let me know if there’s anyone I’ve missed or if you would like to be added! #Cyberpsychlogy go.bsky.app/HkdeCxF
