Music video made using Hedron, the software I've been working on for the last 10 years with @polyop.bsky.social. All written in Javascript, it lets you compose and control #threejs scenes using inputs such as audio and MIDI. Still wild to me that all this is essentially just a fancy web page.

The chat room is not only an anonymous space where you can say what you want but also one where you can disassociate yourself from your actions. It enables repressed desires to be freely spoken & facilitates detachment from reality, allowing desires to be acted out

The word "systemic" is on the banned list, so if I study systemic inflammation & health, flagged. If I study political science, flagged. If I study trauma, flagged. Keep in mind that the largest mental health provider in the country is the Veteran's Administration, but we can't study trauma now?

These keywords could show up in the text of ANY grant involving human participants. If you say you're going to study men and women, you get flagged. If you say you're going to control for socioeconomic status - totally standard practice - you get flagged. Disability? Flagged.
