As we enter a new year, many of us feel pressured to perform cheery optimism.
But doing so may get in the way of our goals.
My latest for @PsychToday shares how challenging emotions offer the keys to creativity & change.

1901 Payne St: Engine 4 reporting a multi-building complex with heavy smoke showing, and what appears to have been a large explosion.

A new study found that during an H5N1 bird flu outbreak in dairy cows in Colorado, use of personal protective equipment (PPE) among workers increased after animals got sick. Supplying PPE to workers and explaining the protections might help increase use. Read more in @CDCMMWR: https://t.co/FV9XWRlaUI
Wastewater in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Palo Alto, Sacramento, Sunnyvale and Turlock has tested positive for H5 bird flu virus in their latest sample.
@TravisAllen02 Can confirm.
In my polling location, workers used tablets to check voters in. They were functional @ the table for my street/area, but other lines were out the door. Poll workers said “our computers keep shutting themselves off; we keep having to power them back up & start over”
Mike Johnson's asinine admission that he would repeal the CHIPS Act if Republicans and Trump win the election is a complete disaster for thousands of Michigan workers relying on the jobs that this legislation provides.
Make no mistake, a repeal of the CHIPS Act would kill thousands of good-paying manufacturing jobs right here in Michigan. The CHIPS Act was a huge win for Michigan workers, our manufacturers, and families’ pocketbooks, because it’s all about bringing a vital supply chain home, creating more good-paying jobs, and lowering costs. Republicans can’t stop attacking Michigan jobs and businesses, and we’ve got to vote them out.
Confident of a big win, Mike Johnson promises he and Trump will abolish Obamacare and bring back denial of insurance for preexisting conditions. https://t.co/5DAQ0fLdYC
@M8Void I’ve been using an indoor air quality meter (Aranet4) for the last couple years. Hotel room numbers (varied chains) have been 750 @ highest, & typically below 675.
This isn’t a guarantee re safety (& CO2 is a proxy), but—IAQ is far better than I’d expected.
Follow the science. The science tells us that we can’t make the blanket assumption that a #COVID infection will be “harmless” or “mild”, even if it feels that way in the acute stages. Unmitigated constant reinfections is not a plan. When will @CDCgov and @CDCDirector speak up?

The get ahead of the "There've always been heart attacks in young people" crowd.
They were rare. Now they're not.
This is a public health emergency.
“There are definitely more younger people coming in with heart attacks. There’s data to back that up."

@chrislhayes@nberlat The response to his mentions of the border should just be:
“If he actually cared about border safety, he wouldn’t have killed the border bill just to keep this talking point.”
Regardless how one views that bill, his work against it proves that his crime rhetoric is theater.
“The whole language of writing for me is finding out what you don’t want to know.”
