  3. People who are #blind from birth never develop #schizophrenia – what this tells us about the #psychiatric condition

    In 1950, two researchers noticed something that didn’t quite add up. Hector #Chevigny, a writer who had lost his sight in adulthood, and #psychologist Sydell #Braverman were studying the #psychological lives of blind people when they stumbled upon an intriguing pattern ...

  4. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/a. I should hope so! How much longer are the #Christian #right in the #US going to continue supporting #Trump if he keeps pulling #blasphemous stunts like this? I knew a #psychologist who had worked in an in-patient #psychiatric ward, & had the dubious privilege of introducing one "Jesus" to another.

  6. @SwiftOnSecurity #backstory I always just liked #computers and enjoy #helping people. Originally in #highschool I thought I'd like to be a #psychologist or something of the sorts. But the job security and money seemed more appealing than than saving actual lives unfortunately.

    I had an interview with Amazon shortly before graduating #undergrad, and made it all the way to final round where they flew me out, paid for my meals, the whole thing. I didn't get it and this crushed me for a minute.

    Even though I got my #bachelors degree right after high school in #cybersecurity, I started off in support because I just couldn't land my first cyber job directly. It was very disheartening.

    I got promoted from my first job to a network #analysts (small/medium company but 16 sites). I earned my networking grit from this by designing a whole network for a new location from the ground up. Including the rack, phone systems, WAP's, #firewall, #network segmentation. I got tired of running actual cables however so I switch to their systems role and finished my time at that company after 1.5 years.

    Following that I've had a couple jobs in the #finance industry (doing cyber). My primary focus has been PKI but I honestly hate it and I've been in it for almost 3 years.

    Looking forward, I wanna do something more exciting and more challenging again. PKI isn't exciting enough for my #ADHD brain, too repetitive. I can't figure out where in security I want to move to next but I know it's not this.

    Thanks for reading if you made it this far. =)
