I want to uplift the women who were girls who were raped by Epstein & Maxwell & Trump & ex-Prince Andrew & abandoned by everyone who's been scrambling lately to say that they didn't know of course they didn't know but they did know & some of them knew because they'd done it too.

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution & unacknowledged by our laws.

It's true rabbits have a low carbon paw-print, but there are also more sustainable options for dog food and treats.🧵 with some we've tried, all approved by my (admittedly not picky) husky

The brilliant @sarahbrayne.bsky.social's analysis of system avoidance (journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...) is going to be even more important in the near term than it already is.

A warning to people with Academia.edu accounts (as most academics do): if you don't know it yet, they've turned into AI shills. As well as this "podcast", they've also tried to sell me AI-compiled bibliographies. You can go to settings and opt out easily, and I recommend you do.

Racial bias exists in five-star ratings for gig workers, study shows. A thumbs up/thumbs down scale would fix that says an article from The Globe & Mail on research by @decelles.bsky.social and colleagues in @nature.com www.theglobeandmail.com/business/car...
Racial bias exists in five-star ratings for gig workers, study shows. Thumbs up/thumbs down scale would fix that
The ratings gap has financial consequences and non-white workers were found to earn 91 cents for every dollar their white counterparts made for the same work

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.
