This year's Fat Bear Week champ, Backpack, got his name as a cub riding around on his mom's back. Now he's about 20 and the heavyweight of Katmai. Funny how that works. Being carried early doesn't make you weak. Often it's what makes you strong enough to stand on your own. #HumanTogether

I hold deeply humanist values, care for people over ideology, and I still won't accept either side deciding what counts as knowledge. Once one tribe controls that, the other stops trusting what it produces. We lose the language we need to even argue with each other. #HumanTogether

Haylan Engdahl and Brayden Rogers were sophomores, right at the age where young adults are still becoming who they’ll be. Two Milligan cyclists killed this morning on Highway 19E, teammates hurt. So much life ahead of them. Hold this East Tennessee community close today. #HumanTogether

You can’t discipline a child into feeling safe. Fear and safety don’t teach the same lesson, and only one of them builds kids who regulate themselves well as adults. #HumanTogether

237 years, and this November two Native women could break that barrier at the same time. That’s not a footnote, that’s a door opening. Representation isn’t symbolic, it’s information: different histories in the room mean different questions get asked. #HumanTogether

Wow. A 25-year-old scientist in Argentina developed an injectable gel from placental tissue that helped hearts heal after simulated heart attacks in sheep. Still years from human trials, but a real look at what young researchers can build when given the chance. Worth celebrating. #HumanTogether

Every mother I know is doing more than one person should carry. That’s not a personal failing. It’s what happens when a society treats care as private. Today, gratitude for moms. #HumanTogether

A child somewhere is going to get sick from something we already knew how to prevent. Not because science and medicine failed. But because we’re seriously living through a campaign against knowing things … against expertise, against evidence. Children will pay that bill first. 🧵

We love the story of the “resilient” child. It’s a comforting myth. But decades of developmental science, Ann Masten’s work especially, tells a different story: resilience isn’t a trait stashed inside a person. It’s what emerges when a person meets the right conditions. #HumanTogether 🧵

The evidence behind school-based social-emotional learning is solid. Denmark’s model is a good example. The framing here is a bit viral, but the underlying finding is real: connection skills can be taught, and when schools prioritize them, communities get safer. #HumanTogether

Take a look at the face of hate. Tennessee is being terrible to its own people again. When a state starts building systems to monitor deeply personal healthcare decisions, that is not “good governance.” That is cruelty with paperwork. We need to #HumanTogether

Hmm. If your information comes in curated montages, everything can be made to look humane. That doesn’t mean it reflects what people are actually experiencing. #HumanTogether

As a psychologist, I think celebrating this kind of behavior—even as a joke—elevates the same disrespect for humanity that got us where we are. #HumanTogether

It was only a matter of time. When systems are run chaotically, instability spreads. As a psychologist, I see this as predictable: sustained unpredictability increases risk, miscalculation, and stress at every level, including global ones. #HumanTogether

As a psychologist who studies systems and human capacity: this is predictable. Give people a tool that increases efficiency, and systems rarely return time—they raise expectations. So AI won’t fix faculty overload. It’ll likely redefine what “not overloaded” means. #HumanTogether
