New study from Maddy Gould found that suicidal behaviour identified using the C-SSRS, predicted future non-fatal suicide attempts. #SuicidePrevention #SocialWork

This review examined the level of evidence for specific school-based suicide prevention interventions. Improved outcomes were found for 10 interventions. More research is needed to build the evidence base for specific interventions demonstrating improved mental health outcomes. bit.ly/3VfEmtI

This week brought wins on all fronts: Catelin Drey flipped a Trump district in Iowa and broke the GOP’s supermajority in the state senate. A federal judge protected Kilmar Abrego Garcia from deportation. And yes, even ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ is about to be empty. Not bad for one week.

I had a great time engaging in my selfcare Sunday night, playing with the @chicagojazzdads.com ( @laywilliams.bsky.social @jgordonwright.com, Leo and Eric) at @evanstonspace.bsky.social. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported us.

TODAY IN JAZZ: Miles Davis was brutally beaten by an NYC cop right in front of Birdland under a marquee bearing his name. #jazzsky #todayinjazz Fred Kaplan captured it well in this old @nymag.com article: nymag.com/news/feature...

Fascinating article! Participatory propaganda in conservative comment sections primarily mobilizes conservatives while paradoxically lowering conspiracy beliefs among extreme liberals, thereby intensifying polarization from both ends. cc: @profhalloran.bsky.social @laywilliams.bsky.social

FWIW as a non-philosopher, I always thought much of the discipline should revolve around two key questions: How should I live, and how should we live. David's book was an important contribution to that second question, and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Politicians pitting the haves against the have nots is nothing new. Plato saw economic inequality as a threat to any republic because it creates a society of the rich and the poor. Learn more in Ep. 140 w/ @laywilliams.bsky.social on The Greatest of All Plagues

I want to believe that these centers are truly committed to the principles they purport to study and celebrate. I think they'd be a net positive in higher ed if they were. But, yes, in the absence of efforts to scrutinize such blatant attacks on those principles, one is certainly left wondering.

New report from Johns Hopkins: "In 2023, total gun suicide deaths reached a new all-time high... While the burden of gun violence remains high, there are evidence-based solutions to prevent gun violence. These solutions are supported by most people, including gun owners." #SuicidePrevention
