Most patients who die by suicide screen negative for suicidal ideation. If you use decision trees that designate negative screens as “low risk,” you should stop. This applies to the CSSRS red/orange/yellow scoring system. The CSSRS “misses” most patients who kill themselves.

All of these people saying it's better to beat 45* at the ballot box instead of the courts should remember that we did that once. We beat him by voting, and his response was to throw a tantrum, deny the results, foment an insurrection and block the peaceful transfer of power.

The only thing that sounds worse than going to Burning Man is not being able to leave Burning Man.

I need folks who are not LGBTQ to understand that today's ruling is not just about a website. It is a clear sign that Obergefell (same sex marriage) and Bostock (LGBTQ employment protections) are in danger of being overturned. This is a devastating ruling. Please understand that.

“I’m weary. There’s only so many times you can walk in the room and tell someone they’re not coming home tomorrow…I would simply ask you to do something. Because doing nothing, which is what we have been doing, is not working.” – Louisville, Kentucky Dr. Jason Smith

And yes, it’s nice/necessary to post phone numbers and websites where people can get help. But you know what’s even nicer? Not stigmatizing mental illness and mental health care to the point that people are too ashamed to talk about it or seek help.
