There's a lot of things I wish I could do like donate blood, platelets, stem cells, plasma, whatever but I'm the type of person who actually needs that shit instead of the person who can give it. Can't be everything I guess

Sometimes, when you feel hurt or sad about the way you’ve been treated, the best thing you can do is take a step back, look at yourself, and think, Well, that sucks. At least I know I don't treat people that way. Cool! Then you move on knowing who you are.

Alternating crying bc of how broken I feel from this major relapse & crying bc of all the love everyone in my life has been showing me: Family, friends, community, all the people & places I work+more I was able to walk outside ~8 mins to see the sunflowers. I worked at my desk a few before crashing

And suddenly, I'm back in 2017 - 2019, barely able to stand & walk on my own, only able to hold down 1 meal a day & calling five different cardiology & nephrology offices per ER instructions to try to find which of the places can get me in as soon as possible.

Not because I don't know what I'm doing, but I am genuinely interested and curious in hearing about different approaches that I can try or add on.

1) I would absolutely love one day to get together with more senior researcher(s) than myself and just discuss their approach to reviewing. People I can trust and respect and just learn from them. I would be so interested in hearing that.

Inflammation corresponds to altered brain wiring in borderline personality disorder

Inflammation corresponds to altered brain wiring in borderline personality disorder
People with borderline personality disorder may experience low-grade systemic inflammation that corresponds to structural differences in the brain's internal wiring. A recent study links elevated immune markers to reduced integrity in brain pathways that regulate human emotion.

Having a POTS episode in the middle of YMCA class so embarrassing. It's like one day I run 2 miles no problem, few days later I completely overheat and black out 10 minutes into a relatively moderate exercise that I'm completely physically capable of doing.

A POTS episode can feel so embarrassing. Like oh sorry POTS is triggered by standing too long.. or sitting too long. & walking too far. Or not walking enough. & eating too many solid foods at once. Or not eating enough/low blood sugar. Also if it's too hot. Oh & if it's too cold.

Oh and the practice of reflexivity in any qualitative work is not the same as reflexive thematic analysis either. One is a reflexivity practice, the other is a type of analysis.

Kellyann May Navarré 🐼 🤟🏻 @kellyannnavarre.bsky.social · 17/06/2026
idk who needs to hear this but thematic analysis is not a single type of analysis.. inductive thematic analysis, deductive thematic analysis, reflexive thematic analysis, are all three different analyses Semantic vs latent orientations are not the same

I teach qualitative courses, workshops and seminars regularly... the continued misunderstanding of qualitative work in this field and lack of ability to see how it fundamentally differs from quantitative foundations continues to be a major embarrassment and eyesore.

Breaking news: all my nieces and nephews yesterday agreed genuinely that I look like I'm 16 years old, then decided to randomly inform me of this. They are ages 11, 9 (x2), 17, and (And as of yesterday, 1 day old). Honestly, true. I'm 29. 🫠

Loving the Chuck Norris jokes on my feed. We lost an icon. Grateful to master Norris for shaping my path. Chuck Norris trained psychologist Dr. Carter when they served together in the Air Force. Dr. Carter trained master Chad. Chad then trained me to 2nd degree black belt & introduced me to #DBT.

There are pros and cons to social media, of course. One con is that people sometimes think they know everything you’re talking about from a few lines of text; topics that warrant complexity are instead interpreted through the reader’s own filter and assumptions.
