Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 24/08/2026This is unacceptable! Spidey! Tuck your thumb! Protect the thumb from being broken. Here is a task analysis for how to use propper form: Put your hand up like this = ✋ Curle your fingers down and place the thumb across them like this = ✊ It looks like this from the side = 🤜 And from the front = 👊 100

Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Chiles v. Salazar prioritize the "rights" of the therapist instead of addressing the rights of the child. This issue keeps repeating itself. Can we claim to be moral or ethical if the most vulnerable are always placed as not having rights? beardedbehaviorist.riverside.com/e/oh-behave-... 000
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Cherry picking is a common logical fallacy. Examining evidence with scrutiny, even evidence that we like, is science in action. beardedbehaviorist.riverside.com/e/oh-behave-... 000
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 24/06/2026The Supreme Court ruling on Chiles v. Salazar is NOT a conclusion on conversion therapy! Professionals EVERYWHERE NEED to have this convention! We NEED to be pushing for change NOW! beardedbehaviorist.riverside.com/e/oh-behave-... 000
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Children are people. Children have rights. They are not optional. Conversion therapy violates those rights. beardedbehaviorist.riverside.com/e/oh-behave-... 000
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Speaking to parents who have or are considering conversion therapy. We can love someone and still hurt them. But can we love someone enough to accept when beliefs are hurting them? beardedbehaviorist.riverside.com/e/oh-behave-... 010
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 24/06/2026The Supreme Court ruling on Chiles v. Salazar did not decide whether conversion therapy does no harm. The case sidestepped that issue. Join the Oh Behave! Podcast as we dive into this critical topic. beardedbehaviorist.riverside.com/e/oh-behave-... 010
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 13/06/2026That is what the metaphor is all about. Changing the relationship to cooperation through awareness. 000
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 13/06/2026The Metaphor of the Rider & the Elephant is critical because it helps us understand how we use rationalization to justify our belief's. This is phylogeny in practice. Understanding our nature so that we can use that understanding to do better. 1 or 2 100
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Emotions are data. When they show up they signal different things. BEING WRONG comes with emotions. Being able to acknowledge those emotions gives us data. Knowing how to use that data matters. This podcast episode on Being Wrong, Being a Scientist, & Being Human is about just that! 000

Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 28/03/2026The reason why all these conservatives states are starting to create death penalties for pedophilia is because they're trying to look like they're against it while they turn a blind eye to the fact that Trump is one. This is nothing but posturing. 000
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 12/03/2026Sorry for the background noise. I hear that background noise is all the buzz, but I am not a fan... I'm autistic. 🚫🪭 Can you spot the relational frames in my puns? #dadjokes #flightjokes #puns #punissuer #beardedbehaviorist 100
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Protesters get called "troublemakers." Kids get called "defiant." Disabled people get called "non-compliant." Behavior science has a name for this: counter-control. And counter-control is NOT a problem to fix in the person. It is a signal that the environment is too restrictive. 100
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 26/02/2026This is NOT in reference to the events at BAFTA 2026. It is in reference to the culture of excusing racism regardless of its source. Interestingly, Davidson repeatedly owned his behavior despite it being tourette's related. The shame is on the BBC for not editing, on BAFTA for not accommodating 1of2 100
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 24/02/2026What a society protects is what a society values. Right now it appears that what is being protected is profits & pedophiles. Don't look to words spoken. Look to actions taken. When the concerns over children being trafficked are responded to by pointing out the DOW is over 50,000, it's a confession. 110
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 17/02/2026When we work with neurodivergent* learners, we must look at the whole person. Stress is not just in the mind; it is in the body. One key player is cortisol (often called the stress hormone). When cortisol levels stay high, the body stays in a state of alert. 100
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 17/02/2026I was raised by the people and community who screamed tyranny under Obama & Biden. I, at one point, even agreed with them and voiced similar views. Yet I have seen something quite interesting. Those same people are VERY selective as to who is worthy of being able to define tyranny. 100
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 15/02/2026When someone points out that P3D0$ are excited in another country, and the RNC's response is to scream that someone threatened to unalive the POTUS, do they realize that they just admitted that tRump is just that? 😂 🤣 000
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 13/02/2026Nothing sucks more than expecting something awesome and not getting it. Well, probably being stuck in the position of this poor guy sucks more. Poor guy! 000

Look, I know things are hard right now. AND, it is resistance to find humor and joy in the face of terror and hate! Love is more powerful than hate, after all. And laughter is part of love. 000
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Dear Carob! I compared you to a 💩halftime show put on by 🧻TP USA & Kiddophile Rock! Yes, I prefer chocolate, but you don't deserve such slander! Please forgive me! 🙏😭 000
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 10/02/2026What is propaganda? It's the push to shape what you think and feel. It uses stories, images, & emotion to promote an agenda. So where does disinformation fit in? Disinformation is one of propaganda's key tools. Propaganda is overall strategy. Disinformation is a tactic; the deliberate spread lies. 110
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Have you ever had carab? You know, the chocolate substitute? If you compare carob to even meh chocolate you can tell the difference. Bad Bunny gave us AMAZING, decadent chocolate. What did TP USA give us? Carob. 000
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 10/02/2026I You just can't substitute it. And I get it. Some people have a chocolate allergy! If it's your only option I guess it's better than nothing. But if you have a choice, why settle for anything less? Carob is just carob. I don't consider it a substitute. You can't substitute what Bad Bunny did. 100
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 08/02/2026I love teaching! I love puns! I love behavior science! This video is, interestingly, connecting all of these. Now, I didn't put any puns in this video; however, puns and this video share the power of connection. I connect ideas that are seemingly abstract to REAL WORLD things. 110
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 07/02/2026If you need others to be hurt, suppressed &/or removed from your sight to feel to feel happy then you are the cornerstone of the problem. Supremism requires people to exist. 000
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 05/02/2026It was illegal to help a runaway slave. It was illegal to help Jews, Romani, and more. It was illegal to sit at the front of the bus. Do with that what you will. 000
Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Civil rights = inalienable rights. Saying that anyone getting the right to be treated fairl under the law means you are admitting that you want those people to be treated as less equal. George Orwell's Animal Farm comes to mind here. 100

Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Don't let them pretend that they are administering justice! This persistent violation of fundamental rights is not justice. It is injustice! Justice has been obstructed by the Trump administration, MAGA, & the Nat-Cs* is the real problem! The human traffickers are STILL not being held accountable! 100

They are trying so hard to wag the dog the way they want the dog to be waged! They are trying soooooo hard to manipulate us and play us, but they never anticipated this level of resistance! 211

Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 01/02/2026For those who imagine that disabled people's rights are NOT being threatened... Pretending that there are no issues doesn't change that there are issues. This attack on Section 504 is based in the same dehumanization that is the basis for the current actions the Trump administration. 110
