@ocdukcharity.bsky.social is a fabulous organization for people with OCD and their families. I am really pleased to be giving a webinar on overcoming common difficulties in ERP! #ocd #obsessions #compulsions #ERP #CBT

George Monbiot nails it again. Trump referring to my country the 51st state is not a joke to me.

Obscene ideas are injected into public life with "humour" ... and then enacted. My column this week is pegged to the recent calls in the Spectator to murder people at Glastonbury, and on GB News to starve and shoot disabled people. You could call it wink murder. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Given my background in anxiety research and treatment I have been asked by media of late to speak about how to manage the stress of these current times. I wrote an Opinion piece for The Toronto Star which appeared today: www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

This is a good watch. Interesting to see farmers realizing they can get further ahead with water needs by helping the endangered fish (more fish=water rules relaxed) Indigenous knowledge & practice shown here is the way. "We are all connected to the land. People in cities have forgotten that"

Let's do this. And I don't know what mine is yet.

"The first step...is clear: stop collecting student teaching evaluations. To knowingly use measures that do not meet the construct validity standards in research, while sacrificing social justice objectives and undermining educational goals in the classroom, is simply unjustifiable."

Just a couple of more days to get the best price on my original art ever.

This makes my day!

Amazing idea. We are so used to sticking to our own world- wish we had more training in #scicomm but excited to try anyway! #academicsky

Trump is threatening academic freedom in Canada. The Canadian Association of University Teachers just put the word out. This is very troubling. #Academiasky #Academicsky #Elbowsup #Canadastrong

Sigh. ChatGPT cover letters are not well-written, informative, or impressive - but are easily identifiable bc if you run our ad through ChatGPT it spits out the same puerile template, wording, and phrasing for you as it does for all the other applicants who do same.

Insecure attachment can be a factor in development and persistence of anxiety difficulties, including OCD. Why and how though? A thread... #OCD #fearofcompassion #attachment

The Vaccine Education Center has complete, trustworthy, and up-to-date information about vaccines for parents, doctors, and everyone else. They are a member of the WHO Vaccine Safety Net and a safe and credible source for information about vaccines. #vaccines #rfkjr #vax

This is a fascinating short, learmed so much about this iconic painting!

I am here. -> "The untenured faculty and staff holding the University together..." On point and hilarious (As McSweeny's often is). #AcademicChatter #AcademicHumor

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

The entire archive of CDC datasets can be found here. HUGE shoutout to data archivists- this work is important 👏🙌🏻 archive.org/details/2025...

“you may notice a lot of drive-by responses from accounts that rarely or never post — they just reply to other accounts. The pattern starts with a phrase like “I respectfully disagree” and follows with a fatuous objection. Another pattern is to start by agreeing, then pivot to starting a fight.”

I'd encourage everyone to keep posting with #OnlyBeautifulThings because why not. We all need it.

This was my final post to twitter this morning: #Xodus

I had no idea this was so imminent, and the data required to advance it so available to bodies that seek only to profit from it. english.elpais.com/science-tech...

Hey #ArtAdventCalendar folks, that interview I did with CBC was posted some time after Xmas and it's available if you'd like to listen. This was done about 6 hours before I headed downhill with COVID (it was a video call) Not a bad interview but got my name wrong www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

For anyone suffering with or dealing with OCD, we are not alone. Here is a great source of support, practical help and understanding. It's great. Please have a look and join 😊

Absolutely! Imagine a world in which everyone with an active program of research is guaranteed a base operating sum of money every year.

16 #ArtAdventCalendar Day 11 “Pilot” Watercolour, 8 x 10” (20.3 x 25.4 cm) Pilot, an orange tabby cat, has chosen a grocer’s paper bag, over the suede sofa cushion’s surface. The way that he backed into the bag, it pushed the bottom up against the sofa’s back.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 11 I have done a surprising number of fish paintings over the years, but this is one of my favourites. It's a walleye chasing a trout-perch in the murky waters of Lake Winnipeg. It's part of a larger mural I painted for the visitor centre in Gimli, Manitoba.

This is a wonderful opportunity for artists and art lovers to meet!

2 more sleeps! (I always post late on the 30th because of time zones)

Still have to set up the BlueSky profile for CACBT - but in the meantime check out the refreshed website that was soft launched today! cacbt.ca New member portal coming a little later this week.

Almost time for #ArtAdventCalendar. Want to highlight a couple of guidelines because *I* need the reminder. The first one, if you tend to be self-critical, AND the last one, if you suffer from guilt for not doing enough. Thanks @jayispainting.earthskyart.ca for your phenomenal work every year.

In past years, I've created clickable google spreadsheets w links to each #ArtAdventCalendar artists profile so you can follow them but because Bluesky is awesome, this year I'm going to create a Starter Pack (s) for all participating artists. You'll be able to follow them ALL with a single click.

Been considering authorship practices in academia, and I think "Guest, Gift and Ghost authorship" no longer describes the full range of unethical issues that we see. Here's a draft longer list. Would love opinions. static1.squarespace.com/static/64914... #researchintegrity #academicsky

‘Dr David Brax on the dangers and inequalities of ‘hope labour’.’ #AcademicSky open.spotify.com/episode/4j7H...

“For ‘sustainable air fuel’ to work, it’s going to need a staggering amount of land.” *punches caps lock again* WHICH MAKES IT NOT SUSTAINABLE

Even in their temporary frames these prints bt @jayispainting.earthskyart.ca look stunning!

Twas the night before #ArtAdventCalendar and all through the house all the artists were reading the guidelines and getting their images ready to post. Truly the most wonderful time of year.
