This may be an imperfect analogy, but I think one of the most important points in "Why Does He Do That?" is that abusers benefit from the abuse. Of course taking what you want with no consequences is appealing if you don't care who gets hurt! archive.org/download/Lun...

Let's be clear: Who gets to be considered fully human is what's at stake this election. We can have reasonable disagreements about government regulations and taxes, but we cannot have a reasonable disagreement about whether everyone is entitled to be treated as equally human.

Covid is SURGING right now & NO ONE is paying attention. Freaking French Cyclists have mandated masking... if Olympic-level healthy athletes want to avoid it, what chance do you think YOU have to avoid Long Covid or WORSE?!?! Masks work against all variants! www.cyclingnews.com/news/tour-de...
I keep seeing surprised posts "Huh, I went to [insert event, conference, club, on an airplane, the Sphere] and got COVID!" Meanwhile CNN is running headlines saying "COVID-19's Back." Friends, it never, ever went away and I'm still masking in indoor spaces for your protection as well as my own.

Worth thinking about how long Tolkien goes on in Return of the King about despair being a weapon, and presenting defeat as a forgone conclusion being a deliberate and effective tactic

fantastic thread. if i can keep this idea in mind i feel certain it will improve my attitude toward others and thereby my experience of the world
Fundamental attribution error is an interesting cognitive bias. Suppose you are having the world's shittiest day. Your spouse just died in a fire that also took your home, you just got diagnosed with cancer, etc. You're sitting in a hospital waiting room.

Also shout out to this medieval sex worker who reported to the group chat which men had game and which did not.

Legit text I just got from my mother: "Have you heard of Sailor Moon an Animai character?" Reader, the only reason I did not fall over laughing is because I am lying down

Look, you can’t expect the cop to risk his life to confront the shooter, it’s not like the shooter is an unarmed black man with his back turned
of COURSE

i had an ex bf who loved to push my boundaries “as a joke” because he said i was “cute when i’m mad.” it escalated to a really ugly & scary place over the course of 2 years. if you have a partner who does this, even if it’s “a joke” rn, please leave them. it’s not a joke & it WILL get worse.
Always immediately delete men from your life who crave breaking consent. Always.

I think there’s also a BIG distinction between people simply expressing their own feelings of fear and distress (reasonable!), and people who go around trying to convince OTHERS to feel as fearful and distressed as they do.
I think a lot about the fact that a lot of people don't have safe places in real life to say to someone else: "I'm really scared." So people use social media for that but don't preface the posts with: "I'm really scared." It usually comes out as "we're all doomed and gonna die" or as jokes.

Lost in the ongoing Trumpapalooza is the excellent news that a malaria vaccination developed at Oxford Univ. over the last 30 years and costing only £3 per shot is being unrolled in malaria-prone countries. If it fulfills its promise, this will make an enormous difference to so many lives.

Today I had to purge an "AI Assistant" from my laptop. If you see a new rainbow smear on your taskbar after a Windows update; hit the "Apps" part of your "Devices and Printers" and uninstall that shit.

Senate Dems should take one of their assorted gun control bills off the shelf, rename it something like "Trump Assassination Prevention Act," and force Rs to do a talking filibuster to block it

people always attribute the spike in autism/adhd diagnoses to more people learning about it But maybe the demands of capitalism skyrocketing over the last century made it harder for ND people to meet the definition of "functioning" & when your functioning is impaired, you get evaluated for shit

Wear a mask. Even if you just start popping one on at the store, on the metro, in meetings at work, at your job when someone else is in a mask. Any additional masking slows the spread and makes it more possible for people like me to be in public places. You don't have to be perfect, every bit helps.
New today: CDC now estimates that SARS-CoV-2 levels in wastewater have reached "high" levels nationwide, for first time since past winter wave At state level, 26 now have COVID-19 levels that are "high" or "very high" in wastewater www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVI...

I am beginning a New (?) Bluesky event: #StitchSaturday for folk to share their fiber art projects, thoughts, questions, and whatever.
I made a raised stem stitch band & raised buttonhole band on embroidery I am making for @ishtar.bsky.social. RSSB came out gorgeous & I love it. RBB will take additional practice but came out decently if a bit crooked. I need to figure out anchoring my foundation stitches. #ThreadArt #PhDLife

Wow: “If you grow an acre of corn, it will produce 900 gallons of ethanol, which will get you about 25,000 miles for a Ford F-150...which is, not bad I guess. But let’s say we put solar on that same acre. It will produce enough electricity every year to drive my Lightning 550,000 miles.”
