It was such a pleasure to be part of this paper! Read it and give us feedback on it!

New preprint alert! 🧵 In this commentary, we discuss why and how the study of affective experience and affect regulation would benefit from greater integration of diversity science--or, "the study of the interpretation and construction of human differences."

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded. HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.

The fall is upon us!!!! Get organized!!!

Delighted that the symposia I organized with Crystal Shackelford (and featuring @ajuaduker.bsky.social and @sakierahudson.bsky.social ) was accepted at the Society for Experimental Social Psychology's annual Conference. Emotions and politics will be the theme of our session! See you in Lisbon!

I plan to call my Republican senators every day for the next 365 days. I'm going to chronicle the calls here for accountability, and to hopefully encourage others to do the same. Day 1 request: Please stop the Trump administration from attempting to limit NIH funding.

Some gayness and lightness seen in Oakland today 🌈🌈🌈

Queer-identified folks who go to SPSP! Lisa Aspinwall and I are trying to revamp the mentors and the topics for the annual GASP lunch. This upcoming SPSP marks 25 years (WHOOOO) and we are trying to make it special. What folks/topics would you want to see represented?

Thank you so much to @sakierahudson.bsky.social for a fabulous guest lecture in my moral psych class! Important work on the role that emotions & social dominance play in responses to low-power groups, and the engaging lecturing style was a delight.

Yeah I came back, ha! Let me try this Blue Sky thing a second time!
