one of the big questions i've been racking my brains to answer over the past few years is "why are there so few straight men pursuing careers in academia in my field?" so far, my most profound finding has been that the straight dude cliff begins *after* the cohort currently in their mid-40s

AI is NOT a problem for university instructors. you just need to completely overhaul your course and change every assignment to make it harder to cheat on, tacitly viewing every one of your students with suspicion and changing you from a teacher into a cop whose only purpose is to catch and punish

One thing I hope people take the time to acknowledge: The sea change in public opinion has been achieved because violence, though encourage by a lot of people here online, was never once employed by the movement. Violence was solely the purview of the state and that is why the state is losing.

ok i did manage to analyze and graph it out and the result is that vowel duration and intensity are DEFINITELY surface manifestations of underlying stress, but not in a way that works cleanly for any sort of phonological analysis YAY :DDDD

very interesting data today: post-contact population declines in polynesian societies strongly mirror those in the americas, with an average population decline of 95.5% and an average time from contact to nadir of 137 years. for micronesian societies, though, it's 90.9% and 75 years respectively

Kākāpōs are no ordinary green birds. Not only are they astonishingly rare, but they also hold the title of the world’s heftiest parrot.
Now, fewer than 300 of them exist. That’s why conservationists are relieved that the flightless bird is breeding again. https://wapo.st/45LvsK3

These are apparently facial reconstructions of a 2,300-year-old Pazyryk Scythian male and female from the same kurgan in Berel, Kazakhstan and not - as I first thought - that couple I met at a Spiral Tribe soundsystem in 1992 who sold me E that turned out to be paracetamol.
