I will be reviewing applications for @unm.edu's Clinical Psychology as well as Diversity and Health Data Science Across the Lifespan PhD programs. Both deadlines are December 1! psych.unm.edu/graduate/ind...

I am pleased to share our paper showing that daily assessment improves the precision of #self-harm and #suicide prediction beyond the data available at the start of a hospital admission. psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...

The President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, PPFP, has been a jewel in the crown for faculty development and recruitment at the University of California for years and the results have been an expanded faculty with almost 100% tenure rates — unprecedented success.

FWIW, Penn State is an awesome place to do your PhD. Hugely underrated graduate institution.

California passes proposition 50, which will mean multiple anti-LGBTQ+ Republican congress people will likely lose their seat. A continual bloodbath for anti-LGBTQ+ Republicans tonight.

As a result, reproducibility speaks more to the design and specification of the experiment than the truth value of a given result.

Wait, am I *joy* scrolling right now??

BIG BREAKING: Democrat Zohran Mamdani is elected Mayor of New York City, in the largest turnout vote since 1969. He becomes the first Muslim and immigrant mayor of New York City, and the first Muslim to be elected of a major U.S. city.

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

I’ve spent the last 8 years(!) working from the position that HiTOP relies too much on analyses of traditional diagnoses, baking in limitations of the DSM, and that we need to move to symptom-level analyses to fix it It turns out that rebuilding HiTOP from the ground up doesn’t change much 💀 1/

Amid attacks on such work, NIH-led research links structural racism to increased heart disease. Story by @aniloza.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2025/10/31/s...

I'd like to politely state for the record that the point being made in this thread *is* my point. The issue is the use of p values as inferential tools and the conditions under which those inferences are made. I even mention effect sizes as the appropriate inferential metric. There is no confusion.

I want to comment on a piece of research that came to my attention yesterday that I think is a reflection of endemic problems in our field. The study was published in a top-tier journal and was covered by the national press. It had a very large sample (N>30,000) and several yearly time points.

If the proponents of the "P" factor weren't all famous grey hairs, would we be talking about it all?

No model has any inherent worth. The value is derived from how the model is employed within the research question.

I think this is a function of hypostatization and model realism, and extends beyond cluster analysis. Modally, researchers in psychology don't spend much time considering assumptions and assume models = reality. The cluster analysis doesn't require justification because the clusters are 'real'.

While acknowledging that all it takes is one serious Jaylen Brown injury to derail the whole Celtics train this season, I'm planting my flag on 46 wins this year. Let's go C's.

I think every pundit is wrong about the Celtics. They may not dominate like they did the last two years, but they'll be in the mix. Counting them out seems like lazy, plug-in-the-narrative sportswriting.

Fun fact, Bob once asked me to put together a list of things to do with young children in NYC. When I asked him who it was for, he said "my friend, Al."

all the anxiety human evolution developed to help me spot bears now kicks in when i have to answer emails

When the refutation of your argument is built into your argument. There is no execution without the idea it executes. The Manhattan project would have been a pretty futile venture without Einstein's mass-energy equivalence.

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today issuu.com/idsnews/docs...

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning: www.burnsnotice.com/you-have-to-...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

One of the strangest things about middle age is watching all the people who populated the world of your youth leave the world. I've come to drop Annie Hall off of my personal 'best of' list, but only because of my feelings about Woody Allen. My top 5 used to include Godfather, GF II and Annie Hall.

Welcome to #TransTuesday! National Coming Out Day is Oct 11, so let’s get into what can be a difficult and complicated issue for so many of us: COMING OUT AS TRANS. And for the first time since Trans Tuesdays started, I reprint my own coming out thread! www.tillystranstuesdays.com/2025/10/07/c...

Excited that this one is live and doubly excited that I've already been able to replicate the majority of the findings in NESARC wave 1 (GAD & MDD) and wave 2 (PTSD). If anyone knows of any publicly available data sets with *DSM-5* PTSD, please let me know!! psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...

Someone please explain to me why people are angry that the CEO of Blue Sky is posting about waffles.

Great googly moogly!! I just submitted a review where I recommended reject. Went and checked what the other reviewers thought and R1 recommended 'accept with minor revisions'. I am just so confused right now.

Where does one submit a methodological comment? Like, not a new method, just a "hey, have we thought about this?" kind of thing?

So exhausting..

Boston forever 💚

I am just not used to computer things taking this long in 2025. This isn't even an analysis. It's a data wrangling step. But the dimensions of the data are 20,900 by 131,071, so, yeah.

Vivian Wilson talks about how accessing gender affirming care as a teen was lifesaving at the Teen Vogue Summit.

Creamy gazpacho or chunky gazpacho?

Trans people just want the right to exist safely as their true selves, like everyone else. But they’ve become easy scapegoats for the GOP, who vilify them and threaten to criminalize their very existence. It's straight from the authoritarian playbook.

Looking at what the APA copy editors did to my tables.

BREAKING: A historic coalition of national & California labor unions led by the AAUP filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration challenging the illegal & coercive use of civil rights laws to attack the University of California system & the rights of their members.

Godspeed, Mr. Hobbs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i94l...

i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

Dude. My 16-year-old dominated the pitch today. Five shots on goal, one goal, two direct-kick penalties drawn. He was electric every time he touched the ball. Unbelievably cool to watch.

From ‘The Onion’ Editorial Board: It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible https://theonion.com/it-is-journalism-s-sacred-duty-to-endanger-the-lives-of-1850126997/

So about that “transgender ideology” WSJ report

Transgender people are owed a retraction and apology from @wsj.com. The lie has already become canon to millions and it seems the least they could do.

As a parent of a trans kid, the only ideology I know of is that people want to be allowed to be themselves and stay alive. It’s pretty minimalist as far as ideologies go. Shit is so dangerous right now.
