This reminds me of a little bird perched on top of a pole preparing to take flight.

Is that your sunset or did you take someone else’s?

can’t imagine but so much. It’s mind blowing, though.

There’s one person I still think about years later. She was denied the first time, but granted the second bc of the eval. If she had been forced to return to her country of origin, she wouldn’t have made it off the airport runway alive.

to support their applications by essentially conveying the level of threat to their lives, their trauma, etc. The presence of a psychological eval with an application increased the likelihood of being granted asylum by at least 30-40+ percent (from 50-60s to 90s. The stats may have changed, but I…

I’ve volunteered with a couple human rights orgs that provide a range of services to survivors of torture, political persecution, sexual violence, etc. seeking asylum in the US. Specifically, from a psychological standpoint, we interviewed applicants and drafted evals (affidavits)…

I think they opted for the basic theft instead of complicating things with AI.

This image is everywhere, and these predatory accounts are multiplying. I hope something is done about this.

heatherpsyd @heatherpsyd.bsky.social · Dec 5

They stole it. Do a reverse image search, you’ll find it everywhere.

This account is stealing art and fooling you into believing it’s theirs.

Interesting you say that. She might be. My little guy def has some mainecoon in him, but for some reason, my iPad photos app sometimes labels him as Siberian.

This is amazing. I wonder how old it is.

I completed my predoctoral internship at a Kirkbride state hospital. Beautiful campus, also rumored to be haunted. Lots of history at these institutions.

Thank you so much. I shot this with my phone on New Years Eve (2021) while I was walking to the market (I used to live on this street). I squatted down really low, but you can see part of my reflection in the glass, but I edited myself out for this. 😶‍🌫️

A pair of worn out old Timberland boots are being photographed on the sidewalk in Downtown Los Angeles. The boots appear to have been stepped out of while walking (mid-stride). While not unusual to see one shoe in the middle of the sidewalk or street, it is unusual to see a pair of boots untouched by others on the street, almost as a ghost left them behind.

last time was in Samara. I also fell madly in love with CR, the Ticos, the food/culture/everything. It holds a very special place in my heart. I don’t blame you for leaving. I hope to do the same (explore some of my roots) in Ecuador. 🖤

Oh wow, this is amazing! I knew that sign looked familiar. Over the course of a few years, I spent several months in CR, but this was a long time ago. My first time was in Portegolpe, the second in Samara, Buena Vista (with the turtles), then from top to bottom of Pacific coast, and my third &…

Is this near Playa Samara y Buena Vista? I’ll never forget that peligroso sign about the current or the actual current. 😌
I miss CR so much.

The entire profile it seems. They ripped off these images from someone or AI, too.

It doesn’t seem like anything you’ve shared is actually yours

heatherpsyd @heatherpsyd.bsky.social · Nov 30

Are you going to tell us these accounts are yours, too?
