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)
If the pie is too small, are you actively working to make it bigger? What have you done to challenge the exploitation of younger/newer researchers and researchers from non-WEIRD cultures?
I don't want to hear that PIs have their hands tied. I want to hear what PIs are doing with their privilege.
Write your observations, your thoughts, and feelings. Your written legacy is what future historians will use to interpret what happened into the past. Writing is the evil twin of thinking.
Y'know...I really used to think that the weight of being wrong in light of bulletproof evidence would change people's minds about pretty much anything.
It doesn't. It really doesn't.
And I think that's because on some level people identify so deeply with the things that they belive that to change their mind in light of new evidence feels like some sort of betrayal instead of a logical step.
The marketplace of ideas isn't an algorithm for truth. There is no inherent bias for reason or empirical evidence to prevail in a contest of persuasion. Even scientists who debate each other fiercely, with highly technical evidence, rarely change each other's minds about really big questions.
Hmm, when does anger become an issue? When you act on it? If you act on it in societally unacceptable ways? If things that shouldn't make you angry do? If you have intrusive angry thoughts?
(Not really asking just thinking about how any expression of anger is generally considered problematic in some way these days.)
What to do with my angry feelings has been a main topic of therapy for me in treating my PTSD. On my journey I've learned that anger is important for drawing boundaries, but when society doesn't want those boundaries it punishes expressions of anger. As you are well aware, society only lets certain kinds of people be publicly angry.
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.
This is an honest question with only sincere interest behind it, but as a straight, white woman I understand my motives may be suspect, especially if you don’t already know me. So here goes…
“LGBTQ2S+” as a descriptive word to include lots of different people is unwieldy (sorry, English major here). Is it bad form to simply say “queer community” now? My favorite cousin came out in the 80s, so he’s an older gay man and may be out of touch. That’s the word he uses. Is it no longer acceptable?
There is no shared hive mind, so whatever answers you get (including this one) are not universal. That said, queer community is generally ok imo. Might also try gender diverse people if that's the group you are referring to, or people with diverse gender / sexual identities is another phrase that is both banal and encompasses most of the LGBTQ+ alphabet.
Very rarely, I have run into people who object to the word queer because it has a history of being used as a slur. These folks tend to be older or more conservative in their views.
To be honest these days I've had more people object to the word lesbian (instead preferring "queer woman") than to the word queer. So the word queer or queer community is probably your safest bet.
