"Irritable male syndrome"

"Along with the term ‘andropause,’ which refers to male menopause, it’s a useful shorthand for describing what happens to men through gradual testosterone decline and hormonal changes."
Irritable Male Syndrome (IMS) Is An Actual Condition — And It Could Explain A Lot
While not a clinical diagnosis, experts say it’s an accurate description of a cluster of symptoms that often appears in aging men.

The university for retirees is fantastic ❤️

My mother is enrolled and has taken classes in architecture, philosophy, mathematics, and more. She absolutely loves it!

Thinking lots about baking lately. Wittgenstein apparently once wrote that ‘Raisins may be the best part of a cake; but a bag of raisins is not better than a cake.’ @nigelwarburton.bsky.social calls this Wittgenstein's 'critique of pure raisin', which rather made my day. @wiglet1981.bsky.social

Umeå University (Sweden) - an awesome department in an awesome location! - has an open PhD position in philosophy with a focus on gender.

PhD students are paid very well and get all the same vacation/leave/retirement benefits as any other state employee.

Have a look!

Masculinity in Nordic gender equality 2019-2024

A Swedish gynecologist was found to have performed hysterectomies on unscientific grounds on several patients, who have since fought for justice and an end to malpractice.

Good to see the Health and Social Care Inspectorate finally revising its conclusion.

Apparently, Sweden is the strictest country in the world when it comes to talking during movies.

At the same time, we're the most permissive when it comes to using swear words.

So you can swear all you want – just not in the cinema.
