Grading and googling hallucinated citations, as one does nowadays, and now that LLMs have been around for a while, I've discovered new horrors: hallucinated journals are now appearing in Google Scholar with dozens of citations bc so many people are citing these fake things

Announcing SPSP's 2026 Self & Identity precon (bit.ly/4mn2WDT), which will have a timely focus on activist and ally identities. We have a phenomenal set of speakers (Linda Tropp! Kim Rios! Lucy De Souza! Teri Kirby! Dan McAdams!) and are accepting data blitz and poster submissions until Oct 23!
The Self & Identity Preconference provides a forum for discussion and investigation of the complexity of the individual and the collective self. This year's preconference introduces a special focus on activism and allyship, highlighting factors facilitating the formation of activist and ally identities and barriers to identifying as activists or allies. This preconference will explore the impact of context in shaping activist identification and consider the role of the current socio-political climate on our ability to advocate for our "selves" and for others. In addition to several speakers, the preconference will also include presentations by scholarly award winners, a poster session, an early-career data blitz, and a mentoring/networking session.

Thanks to a comment on a 2 1/2 year old post, I'm getting back to the blog by focusing on our complicity in abuse when we remain silent.

Thoughts on Silence
When those in power remain silent about abuse and those who commit and enable it, they become part of that abuse.

Terrible Gallup poll today. Lots of bad anti-trans sentiment, but this one really blew my mind and should be VERY eye opening to our LGB folks: America is about to cross back over into being gay or lesbian is something that is caused externally (and therefore "fixable" with conversion therapy)

So, from 1 org I work w/ (a DV/SA agency), I think individual donors (& the org) would value more sharing for many reasons - but larger state agency donors are a different thing altogether, seemingly because of their metrics. So, how do we change the metrics in hyper competitive places?

Tara Mitchell @taralmitchell.bsky.social · 23/11/2024
For me, a big thing is the role funding models play in turning orgs w/ common goals into competitors for funds. Way too simplistic, but - how do we encourage those who financially support nonprofits to reward collaborations, esp as the funders themselves will be losing access to funds to distribute?
