I have a few new followers so hello!
I’m Nikki, 37, British (and slightly salty about it).
My interests include crochet and embroidery, reading (mainly sci-fi), socialising, and learning. I’m both an extrovert and a nerd.
I can be a *bit* of an oversharer so I apologise in advance for that.

I just learnt that Americans say ‘ashes, ashes’ instead of ‘atishoo, atishoo’ in Ring A Ring O’ Roses.
Why do we have to share the planet with these people?

This is the entire point of higher education. It’s all about the PROCESS, and it’s frustrating so may people don’t get it. They don’t know how to learn.
And that is: asking a student to do a literature review isn’t really about the output, the final product. It’s about learning the process - assessing the quality of the evidence as you read it, learning how your question may evolve as you engage with the literature, learning how to spot SALIENCE 1/2

Listening to the final episode of the New Yorker podcast about the Jeremy Bamber case and no matter what your take on it is, it’s undeniable that the CCRC are a joke of an organisation.

As someone whose PhD was in human population genetics and evolution:
Race is a social construct
Gender is a social construct
Both have biological *components* but are incredibly complex - not neat, discrete, immutable categories
Fascists are the ones denying scientific reality

So the official position of the white supremacist government is, unsurprisingly, that “race is a biological reality.”
Apparently, not believing this is “insane.”
Important to note that for fascists, ALL the identity categories (race, sex, etc.) have to be “real” and frozen so they can manage them
