2026 Trans Girl Scouts To Order Cookies From! This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

I am a student at Brown in communication with a friend at RIBC.

There is an urgent need for blood donations to support RI. Donations in NY, NJ, MN, NB, DE or NJ can help supply RI.

20 hot air balloons fly above a setting full moon

My 2nd first-author paper, on predictors of self-stigma among individuals with alcohol use disorder, was accepted today!

Also, on my commute this morning, I captured this special sight. Happy Tuesday all around :)

Horizontal oil painting of an Australian cattle dog mix curled up in a ball. The painting has a modern wooden frame and is signed "J.J. 2025" in the bottom right corner.

In the top right corner of this vertical oil painting, the face of an Australian cattle dog mix is in focus while his body follows behind him. The rest of the painting consists of abstract lines that match his brown, white, grey, and black coloring. The painting has a rustic wooden frame and is signed "J. Johnson 2025" in the bottom left corner.

A colleague surprised me this morning with incredible oil paintings of Humphrey that her mother made...how did I get so lucky?!❤️

When you follow a leader, consider what would lead you to withdraw your support.

If the answer is nothing, your integrity is in jeopardy. Your highest loyalty belongs to principles, not people.

No leader deserves unconditional love. Commitment is earned through character.

Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart

Was offered my first-ever honorarium today for an upcoming presentation I'm delivering on community-engaged measurement development🎉

(I can't accept it as a state employee, but I think the offer alone is worth celebrating!)

➡️Order no-cost naloxone and learn how to use it at nmharmreduction.org

➡️Find a harm reduction site near you at nmhivguide.org

➡️Find a public health office offering MOUD at no cost to the patient at pathwaysnm.org

Also, as my title alludes -- I'm reapplying to PhD programs in clinical psych this fall!

In the meantime, I'm working at the NM Department of Health as an evaluation epidemiologist, where my research interests are being refined by real-world experience. Can't wait to see where it leads me :)

Thanks for the introduction, @scholars.org! Excited to merge my passion for conducting research that improves outcomes for individuals with substance use disorders and my interest in science communication to support evidence-based public policy🌟

This is what is so difficult for scientists right now…we aren’t just losing #science jobs we are losing parts of ourselves

Just emailed you! Thanks for your interest😁

My op-ed, summed up: when you're taking away opportunities in science, just know, this is who you're being mean to...
