iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I sometimes fall into an intense afternoon writing focus. Then I look up, noticing that night has fallen and that I should probably blink every once in a while. This may or may not be correlated with closeness of approaching deadlines.

#PsychSciSky, I'm super curious. Lots of us are using SEM (or other complex stats methods) on a regular basis. Did your psych degree give you the confidence to run and interpret them? Or did you get those skills elsewhere? And if so, where.

This obsession is unhealthy. Our horizons are fine. Also social media, for most, is not a job. It is not school. It is socializing. And it’s fine to say “I don’t want to hang out with Nazis, homophobes, transphobes etc in my free time.”

Saw a great (though quite devastating) play yesterday evening. The most devastating fact about it: it was written in 1778 and is premiering right now. Why? Most likely because its author Christiane Karoline Schlegel was a woman.

For a field that already tends to confuse bias, accuracy, and sensitivity, calling a self-report scale a measure of "interoceptive accuracy" is probably not the best move. #interoception
