“Normally, when I write an opinion piece, it feels like I’m having a little tete-a-tete with the reader. But I don’t really know who I’m writing this piece for. If you’ve read up to here then there’s a good chance you already agree with me, that you’re already appalled by what’s happening and that you’re using your own voice as best you can. And if you are not devastated at this point, then there is simply no convincing you to care.”

@nprofile…85tn Thanks for sharing! Can I ask, is this your letter? I don’t see any info on the form about who is collecting the signatures.

Lately I’ve been reading the work of social psychologists Martijn van Zomeren and Eric Shuman, who study the psychology and effectiveness of protests.
Non-disruptive actions like today’s #HandsOff rallies are good at mobilizing sympathizers to support a cause. But if you want to change policy, nonviolent *disruptive* protests work better: strikes, sit-ins, boycotts, infrastructure disruption, etc.
As Frederick Douglass said, “Power concedes nothing without a demand.”

Sixty Things You Can Do Without a Smartphone - my latest mental health zine, now available at https://littlebetterzine.com
This zine includes a long list of free and low-cost #selfcare activities that you can do while taking a break from smartphones and social media.
The idea for this zine came from the many conversations I’ve had with patients who feel addicted to their phones. If that sounds like you, I hope you find this little guide helpful!

@nprofile…args The first thing that comes to mind for me is autism? If you’re on the spectrum, you may not know it, but you know neurotypical people are different. And vice versa.

I remember when my alma mater Texas A&M University let Richard Spencer give a speech on campus in 2016. "We can't stop him, free speech," they said at the time. And yet the university regents just banned all drag shows on campus. How about that.

Hello friends! I am excited to (re)share the #mentalhealth project I started two years ago: https://littlebetterzine.com
Little Better Zines are free guides to evidence based coping skills – now expanded and redesigned with new info and improved accessibility.
These are techniques I often share with therapy patients, but I know not everyone has access to therapy. I hope you find these zines helpful, and I’d be grateful if you repost/share the link with anyone who might need them!

*zayde voice* the schlemiel is the guy who shoots another Jew who he assumed was Arab, the schlimazel is the guy who gets shot by another Jew but assumes the shooter was Arab

Jewish guy in Miami shoots two men because he thinks they are Palestinian—but really they’re Israeli Jews!
The two Israeli victims post about it on social media—but they assume the shooter was Arab!
I’m Jewish enough to know this is peak comedy, just incredible levels of grievance and delusion. Larry David could never.

Peter Beinart on the necessity of ethical resistance:
“Hamas has committed an unspeakable horror that may damage the Palestinian cause for decades to come. Yet when Palestinians resist their oppression in ethical ways—by calling for boycotts, sanctions and the application of international law—the United States and its allies work to ensure that those efforts fail, which convinces many Palestinians that ethical resistance doesn’t work, which empowers Hamas.”
