Can’t believe my first tweet back on X is because of how much I dislike the new Liquid Glass feature on iOS 26 👎

Happy to see the final version of our manuscript fully in print with a limited number of free copies at the following Link: tandfonline.com/eprint/38X7FPN…

Super excited to have finally received this book. The Future is looking good now that this is in the world. #SWFutures #AnticipatorySocialWork

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks, don't you think?

I'm happy about the tariff pause, but when does it become market manipulation at this point?

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. Imagine if I had said to law firms that were representing parties that were upset with policies my administration had initiated, that you will not be allowed into government buildings. We will punish you economically for dissenting from the Affordable Care Act or the Iran deal. We will ferret out students who protest against my policies. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me, or a whole bunch of my predecessors.

Taking phones off the internet boosts mental health. People were randomly assigned to block mobile internet for 2 weeks. They socialized, exercised, and read more—and became happier, less depressed & anxious, and more focused. Being unglued from devices is good for well-being.

Excited to be the opening Keynote Speaker at the Social Work Distance Ed. Conference @SWDEConference in 2 weeks. #SWDE2025

Warren Buffet’s Berkshire company sold tons of stock and built up cash reserves. He really must be the Oracle of Omaha because look how markets have performed in the last month 😭

The people who think we can lower the deficit while giving tax cuts to corporations and the ultra-wealthy—and eliminating income taxes for anyone making under $150K—are the same ones who believe you can lose weight on an all-donut diet, while never leaving bed and drinking a case of beer at night. At some point, reality catches up… but by then, they’re too blacked out to notice.

Geez that stock market 📉 🥲 I remember a time when the President used it as the sole measure of a Presidents worth. I guess the goal posts have moved again. Maybe they were town down 🤷‍♂️

US employers cut more jobs last month than any February since 2009. Thanks for sparking a recession Elon!!!! yahoo.com/news/us-employ…

Excited to read this. #SWfutures

Excited to share my newest publication: A comparison of video and live performance approaches in a school-based sexual abuse prevention program tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Excited to start the new year off with a publication on some research I’ve been involved with for more than a decade.

Good summary for academics who are trying to figure out AI in higher ed @melaniesage @brooklyn11210 @JimmySW @SWFuturesLab @socworkpodcast #AcademicTwitter

Rest in Peace President Carter.

Dear students: Service doesn't just look good on your resume. It builds your character. 62 studies, 11k students: service learning enhances leadership skills, civic engagement, self-confidence, motivation, and grades. Community service should be part of every child's education.

I guess Grok is now free here. Just had an interesting convo & generated some #AI images. It’s not great but also not bad. Lots of thoughts 🤔 #SWtech
