Understanding microfascism: reading Deleuze and Guattari alongside management guru texts
Sideeq Mohammed (2019) Culture and Organization

"the desire for fascism, power, conformity, and rule-following of which Deleuze and Guattari speak offers a productive way of understanding the success of the management guru and the broader allure of the management advice industry."

Welcome to a Saturday Morning #FediListen

It's where I go to the #music tag and I find the first three songs, listen to them, and give the songs a collective tarot reading.

The criteria:

-must use the music tag
-must include some way to listen to the music
-must include the title and artist
-must include some description of the music in the body of the post. Literally any attempt at description will do.
-must be only one song (not an album)

It is time! Let us commune with the Fediverse!

More people should be screened for PTSD, especially considering the collective trauma we are experiencing.

Here is something I need white people to stop doing. Stop taking the critical rhetoric of Black people and playing bullshit word swap mad libs games, replacing the subject of the rhetoric (Black people) with some other group.

That is not how arguments work. That not how history works. People are not interchangable parts with interchangable oppressions.

Stop abstracting away Blackness!

Figure out how to co-struggle. Learn from Black people how to fight anti-Black oppression.

Why Not Circumcise Your Boy? A Potential Link to Autism
Even if culturally common in USA, parents should think twice.
By Darcia Navarez, PhD

"studies to date have not adequately evaluated the disparate male to female autism predominance because of inadequate study design -- failure to control for confounding of outcomes with circumcision (which should be part of any future well-controlled neuroimaging/epidemiologic/epigenetic studies of ASD / comorbidities)."

Parvalbumin interneuron activity in autism underlies susceptibility to PTSD-like memory formation
Abed et al., 2024, iScience

"ASD and PTSD share common features, including impaired emotional regulation, altered explicit memory, and difficulties with fear conditioning.

“We demonstrated in four mouse models of ASD that a single mild stress can form a traumatic memory.” "

hold yourself.
Tune-Yards

A moving song about the endless-and-yet-ending relationship between child and parents, hugged by mellotron over a driving drum and tense saxophone. Merrill's incredible voice fills up everything.

"We all have doubts.
We all have rage.
We all have trouble being brave enough to turn the page.

But we will hold ourselves now."
