Terrifying to think what the next set of images are going to look like.
Glad I decided not to have kids.
I mean isn’t this literally part of Meta’s whole business strategy?
Don’t you dare fucking touch Wikipedia
Really stands out doesn’t it
As an autistic person this technology could actually allow me to access the community without being overwhelmed. This is revolutionary and would change my life.
Jordan Shanks isn’t for everyone and yeah I think he comes across as insensitive at times. I know some of his family members and to put it bluntly Jordan has a lot of room for improvement in his interpersonal skills.
But he’s not a piece of shit. Compared to Barilaro, Jordan is an upstanding, moral citizen.
Welcome to Australia’s defamation laws. Our whitleblower laws are also quite shit.
As someone who just submitted an article for review I am gobsmacked by how brazenly the authors have done this. The absolute disregard for integrity and the knowledge production process is astounding. But also the balls to just submit a paper like this without fear of the consequences says something more profound about the state of academia.
I’m a phd student so I’ll just stick with my university library databases.
I lived through 2 weeks without power once after a storm. Made me realise how valuable physical information/ entertainment is.
Kinda glad that I kept most of my university textbooks and have a bunch of encyclopaedias and shit lying around.
I’m a woman but due to my interests in traditionally masculine activities and general disinterest in conventional gendered behaviours, I hang around a lot of men. Most of my close friends have been men. From my experience, if men want to improve their mental health then they need to develop a better relationship with vulnerability and the shame they’ve been conditioned to feel around that.
Mental health stigma exists for everyone and as a society we need to fuck this right off. Mental health challenges are part of the human experience in the same way physical illnesses are and we need to support people accordingly. I’ve noticed that a lot of men tend to have issues with expressing their feelings out of fear of being vulnerable. The outdated myth that men are less emotional really doesn’t help this situation either. This can also create barriers for men in seeking mental health support, both formal and informal.
It needs to more okay for men to be vulnerable. All people are vulnerable and it doesn’t make you weak. All people need support at some point in their lives. Emotions are really hard and it’s better to recognise and acknowledge them than it is to push them down. Expressing vulnerability and overcoming difficult feelings shows bravery and strength.
Surely this is intersectional though right? Not all men are the same or have the same experience of political issues. I can see how straight white cis men might feel like these spaces aren’t for them. But queer men might feel differently about this. Black men also.
Also if you feel like existing spaces aren’t for you, then free to create your own spaces. There’s nothing holding you back.
