Here’s the thing if what are saying about Ms. Petty is true and its all about citizenship then that actually makes it worse. 😂😂 She betraying the culture that empowered her to begin with for short term personal gain which she wouldnt even need if she was a good business woman to begin with.

✅ Bottom line: Suicide prevention with sexual minority young adults should explicitly address discrimination experiences and the ways they shape beliefs about trust, safety, and the future of society.
In other words, discrimination didn’t just make people feel worse in the moment. Over time, it appeared to shift how sexual minority young adults saw people and society — and those darker worldviews were linked with greater suicidal ideation, even after accounting for overall distress.
What we found:
✅ More frequent interpersonal discrimination at Time 1 predicted more negative social worldviews at Time 2.
✅ Those more negative worldviews at Time 2 predicted more suicidal ideation at Time 3.
✅ Discrimination at Time 1 also had a direct effect on suicidal ideation at Time 3.
We focused on negative social worldviews—broad beliefs that:
(1) Other people are untrustworthy or hostile
(2) Society is headed in the wrong direction
These are different from momentary mood or rejection sensitivity; they’re more like a stable lens for interpreting the social world.
We drew on Anxiety Buffer Disruption Theory (ABDT), which suggests that traumatic experiences (like discrimination) can erode core beliefs that usually help people manage anxiety and feel safe in the world. When those beliefs break down, suicidal ideation can emerge or intensify.
Sexual minority young adults report much higher rates of suicidal thoughts and attempts than heterosexual peers. Prior work shows that interpersonal discrimination is a major driver of this risk—but why and how it gets “under the skin” has been less clear.
📢New Publication Alert 📢
New paper out in Archives of Suicide Research 👇
We followed 670 sexual minority young adults (ages 18–26) over three years to ask: How does everyday discrimination shape suicidal ideation — and what role do our beliefs about people and society play?
My reaction to learning that Fox owns Tubi…if you’re Black and were around during the UPN days you know EXACTLY what play they are rerunning!
The Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted 381 days.
Black people walked, rode bikes, car pooled or took cabs but they did not ride the bus.
They suffered, sacrificed and endured. There was personal and professional pain.
For 381 days.
These eight Senators didn't last 41 days.

I know y’all are obsessed with regency romance BUT I need Shondaland to take a break from love and do a Scandal continuation series. So much material is out in the world right now!
And before you hop in my comments I do believe we can fight the good fight and be entertained at the same time.
The things I wanna say….😳
I don’t think I’ll ever understand some people’s unnatural allegiance to mediocrity.
In summary, the average child sexual predator’s profile is: married, male, white, heterosexual, religious, surrounded by friends and family, and a parent.

8/ Implications:
Address bullying in schools as a suicide prevention strategy.
Screen for depression among youth targeted for gender nonconformity.
Use intersectional approaches — a one-size-fits-all model misses key risks.
7/ These differences matter. They show how intersectional identities shape vulnerability — not every pathway to suicidality looks the same.
6/ Example findings:
Hispanic straight males: strongest full mediation (bullying + depression explained suicidality risk).
White bisexual males: partial mediation via bullying only.
Some groups (e.g., Black straight females) showed no direct PGNC → suicidality link.
5/ But — the story isn’t the same for everyone. When we tested across 32 intersectional groups (race × sex × sexual identity), effects varied.
