@ccriadoperez.bsky.social experienced this: wonder how many others affected who write negatively about Facebook? Good to document and crowdsource a picture if so…

Turns out, ignoring a major bodily function that affects 50% of the global population may perhaps not be the greatest idea in the world? WHO KNEW??? newsletter.carolinecriadoperez.com/p/the-noisy-...

Honestly almost charmed to see such retro sexism, reminds me of the simpler times… And if you want to read the post that got Claude all riled up: invisiblewomen.beehiiv.com/p/who-s-afra...

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Well, Facebook apparently, which banned an ad for a play of A Room of One's Own over fears that this nearly 100 year old text might “encourage activism" and we can't have women thinking they might deserve equality can we 🤪 invisiblewomen.beehiiv.com/p/who-s-afra...

I truly believe that very little is more harmful in society than the continuing belief that something “in your head” is less real than something that can be seen in your physical body.

There is nothing scientific about The Great ADHD Myth? ‘documentary’ | Gina Rippon
Channel 4’s programme wastes a chance to ask important questions about how ADHD is diagnosed and treated, instead indulging in unscientific methods and conspiracy theories, says author Gina Rippon

Yes ideally the whole world would be different and cater to all different kinds of brains (whether caused by environment or not I don’t really see why that matters given the end result is the same). But what do people struggling do NOW?

“Pemberton built a documentary around the belief that ADHD just isn’t that real anyway and, in any case, shouldn’t be treated with medication, but he failed to offer any kind of plan B for people suffering.” Very much this. I don’t have ADHD, but people I love do & this discourse is harming them

As soon as I was old enough to travel on my own, London was where I wanted to go. Compared to Copenhagen at the time, there was something so majestic about Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, and even the Tube...

If you're thinking, "They don’t deserve that," consider what your goal is. Is it to keep your enemies as your enemies, or to help people change their minds? If it's the latter, we have to lower the social and psychological cost of admitting error. /5

This is an appalling thing to say. Maybe think about how devastating it is for people actually from Minnesota to see what’s happening in their home state and for whom this isn’t the latest thing to score points off on social media

Yes I thought that was an extremely apt analogy. Although on the tube people probably wouldn’t tell off the person being ranted at for getting appropriately upset about it!

This is EXACTLY what it was like for me when I was being inundated with rape & death threats and assorted misogynistic commentary on how I was handling it. Occasionally I snapped and then a bunch of people piled in to tell me to be nicer. 🤯

You would think! But just goes to show everything he says about sex is about enforcing gender norms not actually helping women. Which was already obvious, but surprising how many people didn’t grasp this

If anyone is able to share a copy of the now offline FDA guidance on including underrepresented populations in clinical trials with me I’d be very grateful. Apparently ensuring medications work for women is part of the “woke” agenda now.

What if we've been talking about representation all wrong? When we talk about gender in leadership, we usually talk about female <under>representation. But what if we should instead be talking about male <over>representation?

Love to work in journalism, where you can deputy edit a political magazine, write multiple books, and write long investigative features, and a senior man in your industry still assumes you only write fluff because you’re a woman.
