Science isn't a statistical gachapon. The contempt these clowns have for the bedrock processes underlying knowledge production & scholarship truly knows no limit. It was bad enough when—as a scholar in an interdisciplinary field—I had to deal w/ quants reviewing qualitative/humanistic papers badly.

Folklore Horror from Flame Tree Press is out today! In it you can find an incredible collection of stories, including my own short "For Limited Appearances", inspired by Northern Greek traditions and the home you've spent a lifetime trying to outgrow. www.flametreepublishing.com/folklore-hor...

Graphic showing the cover of Folklore Horror short stories by Flame Tree Press. The text reads: Whisperings in the gloom of the trees, primeval mysteries, terrifying omens unfolding… within all of us lurks innate fear and subconscious respect for ancient rites. Following on from our successful Beyond & Within title Folk Horror, we now present, for our Gothic Fantasy series, more stories rooted in the dark side of the land and nature, exploring ritual and isolation, and encompassing global mythologies and folktales. Packed with classic stories of horror and folklore alongside new stories selected from a hugely popular submissions round, this latest anthology is not one to be missed.

September is Bi Visibility Month, so perceiving me may be easier, as all bisexuals have disadvantage on stealth rolls until Halloween 1st.

BI REMINDER
💜Bisexual women are still bi even if they're dating men
🩷Bisexual men exist, and they're not "just gay"
💙Ace/Aro bisexuals, & Nonbinary
bisexuals exist
💜Sexual orientation is about attraction, not action
🩷Bisexuals dont need to have dated all the genders/gender identities they re attracted to - to know they're attracted to them

From the LinkedIn of an academic I have a lot of respect for.

Last week, I emailed a (previously?) respectable journal in my field to let them know that a recent article I had been hoping to cite had hallucinated hashtag#AI references and that the author should be asked to update their article with credible citations to support their arguments.

Someone from the admin team responded to say, basically, that they weren't going to do anything about it.

I feel like this is how academic credibility dies. The main recourse I have in the face of AI slop is academic papers. If you can't trust journal articles to contain established evidence (even though the system has never been perfect) then I don't know how we can make policy recommendations, advise NGOs and charities, design credible experiments, etc., etc.

My only hope is that this is the trigger that begins to kill the profiteering publishing system and the 'quantity over quality' performance criteria under which we all are drowning - but I have a feeling that all of academia will need an overhaul to maintain any kind of credibility.

I really hate the “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality because we actually owe each other and this planet a lot. You don’t have to be selfless all the time or burn yourself out but you should be kind and helpful and compassionate to the best of your ability. We need to care about each other more

The most preposterous part about this to me is that I (and I imagine most of ESL writers/readers) specifically IMPROVED their language skills through looking up words they didn't recognize. My teacher granted me access to her library because she knew it was the best way to learn!

Lots of tech dudes think the "idea" is the important part of creating, not the creative journey you take through work to give that idea actual meaning. Ideas are the easiest, cheapest and least fulfilling part of it. Giving ideas life through work, and sharing that work with others, is the stuff.

Reading Martha Wells's Network Effect, and the line "I had read things that had made me consider other possibilities" has me choking up. Reading--reading anything, fiction or scientific data or social media posts--shows us other possible ways of being. It gives us permission to reshape our lives.

I will never forget how the fully fictional “concerns” of TERFs and billionaires about trans people have contributed to the rapid rise of fascism. There they are, egging it on, not listening to science, history, medicine, and individual experience, fiddling their own prejudices while society burns.
