Bluesky intro:

In health, a #DevelopmentalPsychology researcher focusing on adolescent relationships and adjustment.

Currently floored by 2 #chronicillnesses and stubbornly hoping some health might come back, so that I can go back to doing developmental psychology research.

I block ableists.
This study below discussing platelets as immune cells helps understand why SARSCOV2 infections, via the hyperactivation of platelets, which is not rare (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...), can be so problematic for people, even for apparently healthy people:

"But the debate has been unexpectedly stalled by the League, the far-right coalition ally led by the deputy prime minister, Matteo Salvini, who argued that the law would “clog up the courts” and be used as a form of revenge."

Why codependency in abuse is pseudoscience:

Interesting on sleep & cognitive issues post covid:

"Lower lung gas-exchange efficiency within the #LongCOVID group was associated with worse sleep symptoms, poorer executive functioning, and higher cerebral perfusion, suggesting a potential lung–brain pathway contributing to persistent symptoms."

Vlad the Impaler (Vlad Țepeş), seen on the back of a truck with Romanian numbers in the Swedish town where my partner and I live.
The text in Romanian reads: "Where are you, Țepeş, my Lord?"
It is a reference to how Țepeș was depicted in nationalistic historical revisionism as fighting corruption.

I was reflecting on my collaborations over time and how much ableism there is in academia and it is difficult for academia to claim it is inclusive, when it is a hierarchical establishment that puts a lot of pressure on those on "lower ranks," creates artificial obstacles and punishes vulnerability.

In funny happenings, my partner read International Men's Day as International Mens (from menstruation) Day.
As he puts it, given the politics in place everywhere, it is men's day every day, so one does not need another day to celebrate privilege.
I couldn't agree more.

It looks like the 28-point alleged peace-plan for Ukraine was drafted and leaked by the russians, by Dimitrev, with the knowledge of Witkoff and, instead of calling out this nonsense and stopping any negotiations until a real peace proposal is written, the US officials are doubling down on nonsense.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

European leaders responded to the 28-point peace plan and unanimously reaffirmed their support for Ukraine.
Any peace plan must be fair and sustainable — made with Ukraine and for Ukraine.
