This is so despicable. Know that you can still provide @trevorproject.bsky.social's direct number (866-488-7386 or text to 678-678) to folks who need it. Given that this also cuts needed funding for this work, it's a good day to donate to The Trevor Project here:

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

How it feels communicating with politicians who are proposing we cut clean energy policies, healthcare, and distribute tax dollars to the wealthy.

A total capitulation that makes me feel sick to my stomach. When is opposition going to really get started?

HEY APA! Didn’t you know that the first rule of fighting tyranny is DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE?! So why the fuck are you obeying in advance?!?? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/h...

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen. Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it. Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

We need to organize--let’s help each other. NIH is cancelling grants, but it's not clear exactly what they're cancelling and why. Without this information, we can't respond. I've started a Google Sheet to track grant cancellations. Please add any canceled grants you know of and spread the word!

NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants for active projects studying gender identity, DEI, environmental justice, climate change, among other topics. At least 16 termination letters have already been sent — and hundreds more are coming, people inside NIH tell me. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I have no words.

Breaking news: The Senate confirmed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

The campaign against trans rights is also about stripping away everyone’s protections against discrimination, reviving, as Douglass put it “the moral blindness” of those who “persuade themselves that they are safe, though the rights of others may be struck down.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The Attack on Trans Rights Won’t End There

Once legal rights begin to fall, they fall for everyone.

No movie/sequel pair are of both (1) equal quality and (2) the same general vibe as are Home Alone and Home Alone 2. Alien and Aliens are of equal quality, but the former is a horror and the latter is an action movie. Terminator and Terminator 2? Again equal quality, but very different in vibe.

I'm hiring for a study coordinator to join the MAPPED lab. Please distribute to anyone who may want to work on a couple of clinical trials with youth and families focused on interventions for teen self-injury and borderline personality disorder features. utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/174...

It would be helpful to have a better method of publishing/distributing a single, and potentially important, finding -- one that's probably still too "stand alone" for a brief report. An undergraduate found something that could really inform future work, but nothing else in their project panned out.

A new paper out using an amazing data resource at University of Utah to examine suicide decedents with and without borderline personality disorder. doi.org/10.1017/S003...

I made a suicidology/NSSI starter pack! Share and comment below to be added. go.bsky.app/MgL9J1j

This is *so* important. Following these recommendations is the very least we can do! psycnet.apa.org/record/2023-...

Gearing up to learn about a totally new (to me) method. Do folks who are experts in fMRI have suggested resources for me to learn some basics? I'm planning to use fMRI paradigms for examining mechanisms of change underlying skill learning in the context of a K. Paradigms are selected already.

Sponsoring my husband to live in the US has been one of the most stress inducing experiences of my life. Every step has been unnecessarily difficult, opaque, and frustrating. We are both scientists and have had a terrible time navigating the system over the last 2 years.

Hi bsky! 😃 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️We are recruiting for a (compensated) study about healing from heterosexism and transphobia through expressive writing! We’re recruiting LGBTQ+ folks in the US. Please share if you can— thank you! Access the study here: lgbtqmentalhealth.com/grow

The Gender & Sexuality Studies program at Northwestern University is hiring a tenure-line Assistant Professor of Trans Studies! Please share far & wide with your academic networks. The deadline for applications is October 23. Happy to answer any questions. #HigherEd #AcademicSky

I am in need of a licensed psychologist who has DBT expertise (ideally with adolescents) to serve on a K23 DSMB. I hate asking for folks for free labor. My hope is it wouldn't amount to more than 3 hours or so per year. Anyone willing?
