the fact that nowadays anyone can make a website now means that when i need to find someone to fix my washing machine i gotta do detective work for three hours to find one that at least seems like a real business

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence
they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.

reblog by aphony-cree

people always go "Instead of spending all that time on a study they could have just listened to us when we said these thing happen"

they did listen, that's how studies work, they asked people about their experiences and put all the data together in a nice package that can be cited

I actually think people are going to miss the complicated, challenging and, yes, sometimes exclusionary social graces that make society possible. You really don’t want to get rid of all metaphorical language, scripts, and lies. They grease the wheels of mutual cooperation.

Cancel your Nitro TONIGHT. No excuses. This plan IS significantly less horrible than the one they announced in February, but it is still an age verification system you cannot opt out of. That 8s unacceptable no matter how carefully implemented. And they know it, hence the sudden rug-pull.

brb kinda obsessed w the idus knight. (look at that FIGURE..) i love that they (1) wear green, which underlines their being an outlander (don't think there's any other green factions) and (2) seem to have some sort of tree or butterfly thing going on with the details ... almost like a lotus leaf
screenshot of the Idus Knight starting class Type B from Elden Ring, standing with the back facing the camera at the First Step site of Gracethe Idus Knight (Elden Ring) class concept art, a knight wearing silver armour with dark green fabric and brown leather accents and a silver helmet covering their face. they're holding a light greatsword in their right hand and a silver shield in the left hand.

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

extremely vindicating when everyone tells me to use chatgpt or Claude to implement something semi-annoying. and out of curiousity I give it a shot. but the product is so trash I implement it much faster myself than spend ages debugging the bullshit ai output that doesn’t even work

reading the dispossessed is refreshing coming from tlhod because shevek is already like "you guys don’t think women are people???", compared to genly‘s "and he was weird and effeminate" it’s negotiating gender roles more explicitly than the book supposedly about gender

In the wake of Arday's death, Nathan Cofnas (who led the X mob against him) states his motivation. Beyond whistleblowing, he states that after a 'revolution' removes professors like Arday, it will open opportunities for him to become 'head of the department of eugenics and race science at Harvard'.

There's actually research on this and it involves scrutiny. If you're Black people are going to look at your work looking for mistakes in a way they would never for white people.

Black Workers Really Do Need to Be Twice as Good

From this review- “Think of all the diligent, decent black academics who have been lumbered with the embarrassment of having Arday as a figurehead” - no, think of *why* black academics are held collectively responsible in ways that white academics are not
