We need to change norms around sexual harassment Yesterday Tessa West spoke up about a sexual harassment complaint she filed against John Jost. Not only is he a senior colleague in the dept of psychology, but he is one of the most prominant figures in the field of social and political psychology.

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

New pub! 📝 Solidarity with refugees depends on refugee‘s origin and gender. Partly explained through a similarity->threat link. We discuss this as a psychological expression of neocolonial geopolitics. spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @tijana-et-al.bsky.social @arothers.bsky.social

Amazing read. „Unlike resistance, defense starts with something that you already have, something you love that is worth defending. This sets up a different kind of temporality because you‘re not following the state‘s agenda or terms.“

If you're aged 30 or more, then 50% of all human fossil fuel emissions happened during your lifetime
Bar chart shows the % of global fossil fuel emissions occurring in a lifetime with bars of different length for ages from 5 to 100 years. More emissions happen over a longer lifetime. During the life of an 85 year old, 90% of all  emissions happened. For someone age of 30 the rate is already 50%

Applegate is legit one of my favourite writers because of how she handled warfare and its consequences. Not joking. Had no idea she wrote this explanation of the ending for Animorphs and it just amplifies my respect for her talent.
