What is ‘social media’? Aston University study highlights public confusion about the term
Research from Aston University has shown that there is no clearly accepted definition for the term ‘social media’ by the public, or what websites and platforms are classified as such.

hoping you have a quiet moment
Bob Jones - Mouse with Wine and Cheese Illustration Original Art (c. 1972). This well-mannered mouse is having a bit of a picnic in the field. Sitting on a rock under tall, flowering weeds, he enjoys a spread of wine and cheese on a tartan blanket among the grass and toadstools. He's dressed in vest and coat and seems very content with his day.

Media is media-ing again. Blaming video games, music, or media offers simple answers but ignores deeper systemic issues like inequality, mental health, and violence. It's lazy, unsupported by evidence, and distracts from real solutions that require accountability and change. #moralpanic

In the time we've had a TikTok paper under review (not that long), one country has passed a bill to ban social media and a court in the US has rejected an attempt to appeal a law - paving the way for a TikTok ban. Our results = there will be no psychological benefits of a ban. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Long #Thread Before my late in life #autism diagnosis I had occasional emotional outbursts. These generally happened at home after a sustained period of pressure at school or at work. When I discovered I was #Autistic I realised that these were actually what people call #meltdowns.

Banning social media ≠ solving youth mental health issues. It's time for better, evidence-based policies rather than scapegoating social media. Teens need digital skills to thrive. Read more: www.linkedin.com/pulse/social... Drawing on work with Craig Sewall and @peteetchells.bsky.social's call.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. A day to remember lives we've lost from anti-trans violence. After losing a friend (who happened to be trans) earlier this year, this topic is especially close to my heart. Trans-ness is to celebrate your true self and I will always be a fierce ally 🏳️‍⚧️

Thank you @tellynelly.bsky.social for your amazing inaugural lecture! I love attending talks outside of my field, I found the topic of informed consent for reality TV participants and the exploitation of working-class people especially important.
