I will never watch movies featuring:

Arshad Warsi
Rajkumar Rao
Vikrant Massey

They are not actors, they are spineless mouthpieces of the current regime.

If you are also a true nationalist like me, stop watching movies of these actors.

@DivijaBhasin Can you please speak up about the politics in India. This politics is needed too

• BJP RULED DELHI

A lawyer throws shoe at Dalit Chief Justice of India BR Gavai in Supreme Court shouting "Sanatan ka apmaan, nahi sahega hindustan"

• BJP RULED UTTAR PRADESH

In UP's Raebareli, a dalit youth named Hariom was lynched to death by a mob on suspicion of theft.

• BJP RULED MADHYA PRADESH

A BJP member urinated on the face of a tribal man.

• BJP RULED ODISHA

Bajrang Dal members brutally assaulted poor Dalit men mercilessly beating them in public, cutting their hair, forcing them to crawl on their knees, and making them eat grass and drink sewage water.

Libgen, Sci-Hub, and Z-library had millions of pirated academic books and papers.

So, they were shut down. We shouldn't use them anyway.

We should help billion-dollar academic publishers get richer.

Anyway, here's how to access these libraries:

Don't do this!

[Edward A. Perin - Psychologist @DoctorPerin]

CBT is typically distilled to psychoeducation and skills training because it is inexpensive at scale. It can be taught in a classroom with all chairs pointed to a whiteboard. It’s a good start, but it’s only one step up from a self-help book.

One of my favorite moments in psychotherapy:

A patient of mine was deeply struck when I pointed out a repetitive pattern in his life. In a moment of soul-rattling insight, he realized he had repeated the same mistake in his life time and again.

With the shock of recognition, he blurted out, “It’s true, it’s true! I do exactly what you say. I see it!” And then, with consternation: “Why do I do this? Why do I keep doing it? Is this just the way I am?”

I answered, “It’s the way you’ve been.”

When Simone de Beauvoir advised us to treat others not as objects but as subjects-in-themselves, this is what she meant: she implored us to treat their opinions of us, whatever they may be, with due respect, even if we dislike and disagree with them. https://t.co/12evSYluS3

Interesting chart from Otto Kernberg, who sees certain personality structures as almost always operating at a more primitive/pathological level, and others as operating at a more neurotic level (from the book Aggressivity, Narcissism and Self-destructiveness)

Mental issues roughly follow a hierarchical pattern, like cognitive abilities, like a general factor on top. At least, statistically.

New neuroscience shows that verbal abuse in childhood rewires the brain, increasing risk for anxiety, depression, and social difficulties. Words don’t just hurt—they shape minds. Ending verbal abuse is essential for healthy development.
