My recent research on masculinity, social connection and emotion. Men more disconnected than women, and the answer isn't just to 'rely on family'. Men need more positive connections and 'allowable vulnerability' with other men - not just more 'bro culture'

‘Happy wives, happy social lives?’ Men are more emotionally disconnected than women – what can be done about it?
A decade of data shows Australian men appear to focus their emotional energies primarily on their nuclear families and partners.

Marius Grose's new poem 'The Oasis at 3am' in Authora Australis Issue 9 'Cracks'

'they suckled and took, what you would give them
brothers with wounds they covered with leather
wounded brother in leather on the dance floor
a catch in the throat your lullaby'

Thrilled to learn I will have a poem featured within the next issue of Authora Australis!
Looking forward to the release of this, as it's one of my most beloved poems, and also because the journal reads all entries blind.
Many thanks to the editors for homing this piece.❤️

I have a poem published in Issue 9 of @ausauthora.bsky.social The theme was ‘Cracks’, and at the time I was waking up extremely early in the morning, so naturally I wrote poems about dawn. Hope you enjoy it! #Poem #PoetrySky #PoetryCommunity

Before Dawn Ellen Forkin The blue-dark of the not-quite dawn The day ahead a yawning Silent scream-song-gargle-sigh The maw of possibilities Blinking with the softness of first light Do not stare-nor close your eyes Glance out from the safety of the lightbulb Let colour wash over you, and begin

The typhoon here in Hong Kong is slowly stripping the nylon mesh off the buildings under repair. Just hope the scaffolding doesn’t go next! Lots of debris flying through the air - leaves, paper, mesh strips - but so far no loose pipes of bamboo!

Calling all Inner West Sydney pub folk - if you're a fan of the Henson Hotel being pokie free, turn up to the Henson tomorrow and protest their sneaky decision to bring back poker machines - seriously guys? Albo's favourite local pub advertised as 'proudly pokie free' for how many years now??

It’s been an interesting experience trying to understand the differences properly. Teaching Urban sociology and learning more about the history of Hong Kong this semester has helped a lot

Social Ties More Effective Than Shared Politics in Garnering Engagement With Online Corrections www.oii.ox.ac.uk/news-events/... @cameronmartel.bsky.social

From study: "...users who post false news more likely to engage with corrections they receive, particularly from co-partisans."
OII | Social Ties More Effective Than Shared Politics in Garnering Engagement With Online Corrections
New research reveals that social connections, more so than political alignment, can promote engagement with user-driven corrections of misinformation on social media platforms like X.

Yeah one of the better places - the Shing Mun river near Sha Tin. Pretty nice spot for a walk or run

She local kids just pulled this out of the Shing Mun River. Creating quite a stir

Good to have a moment by the river to think - crossroads sign seems apt for general life and times right now

For a more nuanced take, do read NOMAD CENTURY. We do not live in an egalitarian world inhabited by the “average person”, but we do still have choices about how we make our future world www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Average person will be 40% poorer if world warms by 4C, new research shows
Experts say previous economic models underestimated impact of global heating – as well as likely ‘cascading supply chain disruptions’

VerseFest Ottawa: an exquisite mix of poetry & society. love for all the readers/performers/ organizers & all the folk who i had meaningful conversations with over libations or simply standing in the venues together, awkwardly early, chatting & trying not to get in the way. i love you poets.

I there evidence to back up claims like this - credible studies showing ideological bias, how widespread, where and in what areas and specialisations? I would have thought corporate funded right-wing think tanks would be all over this, if this was the case

Good bit of analysis here. Trump's chaotic approach to introducing, repealing, and reintroducing tariffs may undermine exactly the business confidence needed for big US auto to invest in re-shoring - and bring on a recession instead of creating jobs

Why Trump’s 25% tariffs on autos could backfire | Steven Greenhouse
Nearly half of the cars sold in the US are imported and Trump’s 25% tariff will add at least $6,000 to the sticker price of the average car, industry experts say
