'Every institution in America is born from the blood of white supremacist ideology and capitalism—and that’s the disease'
-- new manifesto from @APA, the guild that controls the education & licensing of almost all clinical psychologists in America.
apa.org/monitor/2020/0…
PS it's important to understand that @APA micromanages course content in almost all US clinical psychology PhD programs, mandating what must be taught for a program to be APA-accredited. If a psych dept doesn't submit, it loses accreditation, and grad students won't go there....
This is the future that @APA wants, apparently.

Here's the new 'Inclusivity Statement' that's in the syllabus for all of the college courses I teach. The goal is to promote genuine diversity of opinion & to nudge students to respect each other's freedom of speech & freedom of conscience... (Thread, 1/15)
"You’re welcome in this class! I will try to make this class a truly inclusive and mutually respectful place – not just in terms of demographics, but in terms of background, sexuality, family circumstances, values, interests, religion, politics, and other beliefs.
You’re welcome whatever your age, race, ethnicity, or national origin. You’re welcome whatever your sex, gender, sexual orientation, relationship orientation (monogamist, polyamorous, whatever), and marital status (single, married, divorced).

An honest US federal government would say all of the following (thread, 1/N):

1) We messed up about as badly as any government can mess up when confronting this crisis;

2) We should have planned much better for pandemics in general, and we utterly failed you in that duty;
3) We should have followed the Covid-19 threat much more closely, much earlier, but we were preoccupied with petty partisan squabbles & PR;

4) The emergency measures we've taken violate the US Constitution, violate many of your rights, and violate the Oaths of Office we took;
5) We have no real idea how to balance protecting public health versus protecting the economy; it's a heartbreaking trade-off that we're not equipped to handle;

6) We really don't have the policy tools necessary to handle global pandemics, or pandemic-induced global recessions;

I hate gyms & 'workouts'. Here's my exercise regime while working from home.

It just requires a timer, some dice, & some basic equipment like kettlebells & power tower.

It violates some (largely untested) folk wisdom from 'exercise science', but it works for me...
(thread)
1) When working on your computer or whatever, set a timer to go beep every 20 minutes.
2) When it beeps, throw some dice to randomize which exercise you do next
3) For each exercise, just get up & do _one_ set, as many reps as you can (with good form), or as fast as you can....
Exercises to randomize between (each takes about 1-2 minutes):
- 1-minute sprint (get heart rate to 160+)
- kettlebell squats
- kettlebell swings
- calf raises
- pushups
- chinups
- dips
- hamstring stretch
- adductor stretch
- chaturanga/downward-dog
- whatever else you want...
