do not make fat jokes. yes, even if they're about the worst fat guy in the world who bullies other fat people. it only re-normalizea and entrenches popular use of those jokes against *all* fat people. it really is that simple. and it's really not that hard

AI should be the swan song of the publish or perish evaluation model in academia but I suspect we will ride this ship deep down to the trenches of the ocean.

being mentally ill with notable social difficulties is so funny because it really is the thing of constantly being in this psychological horror nightmare where all your relationships feel so tenuous and strained constantly. and then you see people irl and they're like hey man how's it going

This is what I've always used, but I haven't tested it recently… disclaimer the Chrome version limits you to 1 video a day unless you buy the paid version, but the Firefox version doesn't do that addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo...

I really need to resume my project to fact check all my old comments because there's definitely all kinds of misinformation I repeated years ago sitting around the internet

Whenever I see that "marketing and propaganda don't work on autistic people!!!" pseudofact floating around I have to worry bc I just don't think it's good to tell a big demographic that they're immune to being influenced and thus don't have to bother thinking critically

this also applies to the whole 'having a special interest means you have an accurate understanding of the subject' like no there are so many nd people repeating absolute nonsense from paper mills, abstracts, background preambles, or just like someone's blog.

Sadly, the appeal of saying 'microbiome', listing off 'anti-inflammatory' foods and seeming 'integrative' by pushing supplements is far too appealing to too many physicians eager to build a following and a brand.

skarsgård's weird translucent dress shoes are fine imo, but the suit is unflattering, ill-fitting, & the outfit as a whole looks bad

Also I watched this YouTube video where someone is trying to piss one off and make her bite him, and she's just like 'nope I'm gonna leave… oh you're holding me against your arm with a sponge? Not a fan of that I'm just gonna wriggle out and lea—oh you've trapped me again? Sorry I'm just gonna go"

After I started having conversations with them and calling them 'my housemate who gets rid of bugs' the lovely ladies didn't freak me out nearly as much, but I still would be a bit shaken by that ngl

Thank YOU. I believe profoundly that the only correct response to pleasure is gratitude rather than guilt

Like ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ This? I tested a bunch of characters and I would guess this is probably the least likely to confuse English language screenreaders or glitch out in weird ways: invisible-characters.com/200E-LEFT-TO...

Okay my final advice would be to use the LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK invisible-characters.com/200E-LEFT-TO... since that's a character English language screenreaders should know to ignore and it's not a character that interacts in weird ways with neighbouring characters.

a tiktok went viral last week of a job recruiter explaining to her clientele (people who apply for fortune500 / buttoned up office jobs) not to bring iced coffees to their job interview, cos to her it looks like rushed and like it's an errand you're stopping by to, when it's a serious deal

Reminder to Australians: Cov boosters are only free for 6 more days. If you haven’t had one in the last 12 months, go make an appointment with your local pharmacy *right now*. It’s likely they’re going to cost a lot more than the flu one so use the freebie while you can!!!

All of my life the Republicans have been advancing further and further up their own butthole, which wouldn't be so much of a problem if the Democrats didn't insist on following them.
