“… the idea that there is a general latent entity, ‘personality,’ that causes difficulties in self-relating and other-relating. In my eyes, this idea is both empirically and conceptually untenable…” @orestiszavlis.bsky.social 👇🏽

RFK Jr. says he wants the “gold standard” of science so he used AI to write his error-riddled MAHA disinformation report. I guess he should have used Au instead.

New: Labour plans to cut disability benefits instead of imposing a wealth tax. Ben Jennings’ cartoon nails it. A government that fines disabled people while letting the rich park wherever they want—both literally and politically.

ALT TEXT:
A political cartoon by Ben Jennings (dated 13.03.2025) depicts a disabled parking enforcement officer issuing a fine to a small grey car parked in a designated blue badge holder space. The car has a valid blue badge displayed, yet a penalty charge notice is stuck to its windshield. Meanwhile, a bright red sports car with the number plate “W3A L7H” is parked in the adjacent disabled bay without a blue badge, but it goes entirely unchallenged by the officer. The background features a brick wall with a “Blue Badge Holders Only” sign. The cartoon highlights hypocrisy in enforcement, suggesting disabled people face unfair scrutiny while those with power or privilege are ignored.

First, we provide evidence that increasing public support for redistributive policy (the CTC) across racial/ethnic and partisan lines is possible with well-designed messages that center shared values, describe policy efficacy, and include a call to collective action.

Can you help me build a list of things that are (or might be) wrong in the current HiTOP model while I'm sick and recovering on the couch? Some of my top hunches are: -My PhD was wrong (☹️) and low sexual function shouldn’t be neatly nested under internalizing 1/2

The current official HiTOP model - a hierarchy of dimensional psychopathology constructs ranging in breadth from superspectra at the top down to individual signs, symptoms, and maladaptive behaviours at the bottom (as well as a list of disorders and related constructs that are linked to the subfactors and spectra)

I think one of the things I found so frustrating about Morgan’s story is how professionals completely ignored the idea that a PD is supposed to be a consistent pattern of behaviour, and labeled her based off how she acted in a crisis. I have a lot to say about this bc I see it too often 💬

TW: suicide Why I will never call an NHS crisis line again: "I ain't going to coroner's court for you & neither will your therapist, the trust, or the ambulance service. You have capacity". Then she (NHS rapid response service) hung up the phone on me. This was seconds after a suicide attempt.
