It's sort of vindicating that the worst views on women are made by the worst men. I was right not to care about them.
Going back to Summers' talk about how women don't want to work hard and don't have high end aptitude, we could ask:
What fraction of young men must deal with a creep with substantial power over their career hitting on them using tips from an infamous pedophile? 🤔

The only time this doesn't apply to me is when I play pretend I'm a competent adult. That makes it a game, and I can win games.
God, a thousand times this.
That's the thing with dopamine being tied to task initiation - there's a set of gears that won't - CAN'T - engage in my brain, but none of my problems are with analysis.
I can be fully aware of all the necessary steps, and stressing about starting, and just... not.

I love kids. I have two of them. They’re amazing. However, kids are the absolute least self aware, clumsiest little puffins on the planet.
Please don’t drive tonight unless you have to, and if you do drive, drive super slow and pay 100% attention at all times.
Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 💀

A theory. Everyone who cares about politics on bluesky ALSO needs to make a habit out of posting about their other interests and hobbies. Making bluesky work for many communities of interest will increase the political reach of the experts here.

Columbine happened when I was in 8th grade. I'm a teacher now. We have lock down drills regularly and it always leads to a big discussion in class about "what if" scenarios. But do you know what stresses the kids out most on a daily basis? Instagram and TikTok. Phones/social media is the problem.

it’s the shootings, dawg. nobody regularly tried to kill us in school. we didn’t have active shooter drills. every kid now has low-grade ptsd from being forced to go somewhere they might die and seeing that adults won’t do shit

Last I checked, Mississippi still had a teacher shortage. My high school, in particular, needs a math teacher. It really is a great job.
My soror shared this note from a university hiring manager. The market isn’t just wrecked. I don’t think this is just a recessionary pullback. 2,000 applications for one higherEd job is 100% a sign of a structural failure. It’s so horrible. I’m sorry.

Looking at the comments, I'm an outlier. I love books, I even love reading outloud, I also like hearing my children read to me. I just don't like reading to my children.
Hmmm...
Disparity: 0-2yr olds being read to every day/nearly every day: 29% of boys; 44% of girls
"HarperCollins said that many parents focus on the literacy element of reading, seeing it as a skill, rather than encouraging a love for reading in their children."
Concerted cultivation side effect?

The laziness and lack of curiosity. At least once a week I have to explain to my students that Ai is not a substitute for actual knowledge and critical thinking skills.
Yes, ChatGPT is based on mass theft (all 4 of my books got ripped off!) & its massive energy requirements will destroy the environment.
But we don't talk enough about how it enables the laziness of ppl who can't be bothered to do their own thinking & writing yet expect high salaries & high office.

We do not worry about the same things, but it's nice to know I don't have to add anything to my list.
Scary things that you may have recently read headlines about that it turned out you didn’t have to worry about include: microplastics in your brain, black plastic spatulas, intermittent fasting, and plant based meat alternatives.
Also, no, you do not eat a credit card’s worth of plastic a month.

I went to school to teach history, but I didn't want to coach. Now I teach math with lots of mathematical anecdotes sprinkled in.
americans would have a much better grasp of history if most high school history teachers weren't hired to be sports coaches and then given a default subject as an excuse for their salaries
