Every skeptic conference I spoke over the years had a woman who got assaulted or harassed. More than once that involved Lawrence Krauss. He kept getting invited, though.

I am watching S1 of The Traitors. Who is this 24-year-old world-best magic creator who thinks an eye-twitch is a lie? Absolutely hilarious.

Oh. The Traitors with the public is just the Dunning Kruger effect over and over and over again. All the people on there humble bragging about their psychology degrees clearly learned nothing because otherwise they’d know it wasn’t an advantage at all.

Just had my phone assessment as part of my PIP application. 2 hours and 50 minutes. Needless to say, I am now useless for the rest of today.

There’s no drama behind this decision. I realised blogging stopped being enjoyable for me, and I’ve become too focused on numbers, reach, and comparison rather than writing because I actually want to. I’m calling time before I become a "content creator" weirdo✌️

I’ll still be around on BlueSky for now, so if you followed me because of The Ghost Geek, you’re very welcome to stay. I’m just giving myself permission to stop treating everything I’m interested in as something I need to turn into a public project and it's no longer any fun.

I’m grateful to everyone who read, subscribed, shared my work, sent me things to look at, or just followed along over the years. I’ve sent a final note to subscribers, and the publication itself will be closing shortly once I know all subscribers received the email.

A small update: I’ve decided to close The Ghost Geek and step away from researching and writing about ghosts and the paranormal. I’ve been thinking about it for a while, and I realised that maintaining a public project around the paranormal just isn’t something I want to keep doing anymore.

Most AI apps used for making Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) are unauthorised third-party software. Also, it should never be called “child porn”, it should be referred to as CSAM. By all means speak out, but get your facts right or you just speak dangerous misinformation from ignorance.

CNN making this sound more mysterious than it is. It was Yersinia pestis, the plague, the researcher died because she inhaled it into her lungs and developed pneumonic plague, there is no danger but to those directly exposed in the lab. Fear-mongering in the time of global terror is a sick choice.

I’m now binge watching season 1 of Celebrity Traitors

Hayley Stevens @hayleystevens.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Okay, I clearly should have gotten into Traitors way before today because this is right up my street. The next post in this thread are my thoughts of the Traitors mistakes in episode 1...

If I've never watched Traitors before, would going straight into S2 of Celebrity Traitors be confusing?

I recently wrote an essay on what happened when I tried to trace the accountability for AI-generated sexual abuse. Turns out it's a whole messy situation where women and girls don't always get justice. forensicpsychology.substack.com/p/where-are-...

As a teen, I told my late mother I wanted to study psychology at uni and she said I wasn't allowed. Thinking about that a lot as I study for my Master's in Forensic Psychology. It's a hard lesson, to learn a parent doesn't see your potential - it's also not one you have to accept. Do the thing!

It's incredible how quickly after your mum dies the concept of other people having a mother that's still alive becomes WEIRD. What do you mean you still have a mum? How peculiar. Like, genuinely, this is how my brain reacts.

Once, I was asked to investigate the haunting of a countryside pub because the idea of ghosts was making staff dizzy and dramatic and the landlord wanted someone to make it sensible. I was able to find explanations for some things but there was was one thing with no explanation...

I'm going through a patch where I think I am shit at pretty much everything, and I hate it. I know logically it's not true, but logic doesn't always win inside of your own skull.

If you're a feminist, it's now your moral duty to bankrupt Travelodge by ensuring nobody you know stays there, that no corporate bookings are made there, and you spread the word until Travelodge is a distant memory. They made their bed, and now they must lay in it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cowboys past and present are: Black, Indigenous, Latino, immigrant, queer, trans, radical, female (and the ones in rodeos rely on rodeo clowns to keep them safe). And that pro-democracy pro-Constitution patriots despise this dimwitted pile of hatreds. I've met cowboys and you, sir, are no cowboy.
