Dozens of young girls were swept away in a flood a few miles away, absolutely everything that ever made me feel proud to be an American is being completely destroyed, and I'm spending this holiday weekend in my office revising a paper. What even is this?

Also, seriously, publishing in Open Mind easily involves the least unnecessary BS of any journal I've ever published in.

w/ @simultagnosia.bsky.social : Why do kids struggle to learn number words like "three"? Turns out they can use # to pick "Mr. Three" in a lineup, but can't encode the same info to learn the word "three". We argue # isn't kids' first guess when selecting word meanings. direct.mit.edu/opmi/article...

Hell yes, you did. You're a fucking badass, Mariam. I hope you deeply, deeply enjoy this moment - seeing you overcome in such a spectacular way means a lot to others too, including me.

Berkeley has been my dream department ever since I spent some time there as a visiting PhD student, and they just keep proving it with hires like yours :-)

Mentioned Abu Ghraib in lecture and the undergrads had no idea what I was referring to.

I wrote for Newsweek about my experience miscarrying in Texas after Dobbs. Democratic erosion and authoritarianism aren’t abstractions happening elsewhere—my story & that of countless other women are reminders that they happen every day in Texas & in other states. Polisky Gendersky Academicsky

I miscarried in Texas. My doctors put abortion law first
The pain is so blinding that I think I'm hallucinating. After Dobbs, lawyers, not women's lives, are now the overriding concern.

"I have been most successful when I let go. When there is not a single drop or even an ounce of hope left in me. When I am not attached to a particular outcome. When I don't know what will happen." -- Vi Khi Nao, Suicide: The Autoimmune Disorder of the Psyche

"...the second time I ever saw you I learned what I had read in books but I never had actually believed: that love and suffering are the same thing and that the value of love is the sum of what you have to pay for it and anytime you get it cheap you have cheated yourself." - Faulkner

Beautiful, honest writing about intergenerational trauma and resilience. One of the best personal essays I've read in years.

My family has been hicking up ever since my now-10-yr-old was a toddler.
