Celebrate Dolly by feeding your neighbors and starving the vultures.

A perfect example of America right now is that corporations are capitalizing on the death of a beloved celebrity without understand that the reason she was beloved is because she was the exact opposite of their corruption. Please remember and celebrate Dolly by NOT buying from big business. Celebrate her life by buying from small businesses and helping your neighbors.

This 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 = 👊

Chiles 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-...

Speaking 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-...

The 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-...

The 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

Emotions 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!

The 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.

When people push back against harmful systems, that is information. The answer has never been more control; it is a better environment. Fix the environment. #ABA #BehaviorAnalysis #countercontrol #DisabilityRights #BeardedBehaviorist

Protesters 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.

2of2 Davidson by providing an environment he could access without fear of triggering involuntary behaviors. On society for excusing racism when it occurs. My post is about the last part. Because there is no excuse for being racist, but there needs to be room for correction, restoration, & learning!

Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

This 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

All of those are confessions. So now that we see the confessions clear as day, I have this question for you. Do you want to live in that society?

Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

When politicians are passing laws to that benefit billionaires & businesses rather than holding them accountable for pollution, corruption, etc. When the consequences for violations of privacy, rights, and even the ending of lives are fines that are less than the profits made from those violations.

Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

When medical services that life saving are denied in order to improve profit margins, that is a confession. When corporations are using every single opportunity to squeeze every since penny out of every single customer.

Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

When people are treated as a resource (human resources) that are kept or disposed of depending on whether they are adding enough value or not, that is a confession.

Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

What 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.

*neurodivergent means diverging from the ACCEPTED neuro-biological types. It is not a pathology or developmental term. It is a social contingency term. Neurotypical means the neuro-biological types who are typically accepted by society NOT typically developing.

By understanding this, we can respond with empathy instead of correction. Always try to consider the full context. Low stress (& low cortisol) creates space for learning & growth. When we ignore biology, we miss the chance to truly help. Let’s do better by looking deeper.

Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

These all affect cortisol and stress levels. A learner might seem "difficult" or "noncompliant," but they could actually be in a stress response. Their body is in survival mode. They could also "appear" calm or receptive on the surface, but engaging in masking just to make it through.

Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

For a neurodivergent* person, sensory overload or communication difficulties can spike cortisol quickly. If we do not account for this, we are not supporting the person; we are coercing. Phylogeny (biological history), medical issues, and fatigue are all critical.

Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

This makes learning, communication, & emotional regulation much harder. This meme points out a common mistake. We sometimes focus only on behavior in the moment resulting in us miss the bigger picture. If we ignore a person's biology (like medical needs or fatigue), we miss the root of the problem.

100

Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

When 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.

So where are those "patriots" who claimed that they were for liberty? Where are those "brave" Son of Liberty now that the tyrant has revealed himself. Where are they when it has become clearer and clearer who the enemy to liberty and justice for all is?

I 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.

Don't take my word for it on the halftime show. Check it out yourself. Stimulus matters. Information that is manipulated to tell a story can change behavior. Being informed AND skeptical matters!

Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Why does this matter in the context of the Bad Bunny Halftime show vs TP USAs show? Simple. If they are willing to lie about something so small as a halftime show, do you really think they are telling the truth about ICE, the Epstein Files, or anything else that is remotely higher stakes?

Not all propaganda is false, but modern propaganda often uses disinformation to sow confusion, distrust, or fear. Stay aware. Question the narrative. And always check the source.

Bearded Behaviorist @beardedbehaviorist.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

What 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.

Have 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.
