Personality/social psychologist. Opinions are my own 🏳️🌈
As a kid my parents would always have conversations about their votes so as not to cancel each other out. I’m having that conversation with my son (22). I feel like those of us who are 60+ might think about having the backs of young adults in our lives.
In the year of our lord 2026, we had a 7 preregistered study package rejected without review from psych science because in Study 7 the P-Value was .051. For reals 🤯
College students are not unable to read. They are not unable to write. Ask yourself who wants to denigrate the abilities of young people. Ask yourself who benefits if employers are convinced young adults are incapable. I’m sick of myths being pushed about young adults. They are BS
Eddie Glaude is "really upset"?? He's REALLY UPSET?? HE HELPED MAKE THIS HAPPEN BY REFUSING TO VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON!!! Do you HEAR YOURSELVES @msnowcomms.bsky.social???
If you are a senior academic feeling bitter about not getting enough recognition, for the love of god, put your d*mn vita online and claim your google scholar page!!! From: the person who tried to nominate you.

TFW your gut just tells you to distance from certain people & it maybe costs you some things professionally, & then they turn up in the Epstein files. It’s weird.
I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.
Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.
