Another day of "why has Word changed to American English again???"

Is trying out a methodological approach you have never used in your masters degree brave or stupid?

Regardless, it has taught me I am a quantitative researcher at heart... and that qualitative Thematic Analysis is not really my forte.

Hit the point where typing in "li" to go to Linkedin autofills as the library site of my university.

Too much research!

Such interesting pieces covering animals, capitalism, and colonialism…

I sense a new research rabbit hole coming on!

Began my literature review after having ethics approved, got 2000 words in... and then ethical issues arose that made me change my dissertation.

Now it is all over the place. I feel like this is a learning experience which, hopefully, will make me less of a perfectionist at the end.

I am so incredibly intrigued by the phenomenon of "transvestigation". I mean... come on, the new pope was even "transvestigated"!

Unfortunately, I think I've only found a total of around 3 journals on this so far.

Presenting my own work at a conference tomorrow for the first time EVER! 🧑‍🏫

I’m talking about the changing gendered dynamics of alcoholism 🍷🍺

Are there any good journals that apply or define the concept of metamodernity? I've been quite interested in more than a postmodern analysis...

The legal definition of woman is now based on biological sex.

What does this mean for the protection of trans people?

Is your child contacting potential Nazis on a "kid-friendly" site?

The Valkist Party of Roblox is an interesting phenomenon.

I've seen all of those skull masks on Roblox before, but the fact that games are infiltrated with fascist ideology is worrying.

I somehow always end up in conversations about “I just spoke about this and now I’m getting advertised it!”, and have to hold back from telling them how it all really works.

It depends on your IP! Your Wifi! Your email! Your searches!

I mean… uh… nooooo, yeahhhh… that’s really weird!

I would invite everyone to read Ghost Work by Mary Gray and Siddharth Suri.

A new global "underclass" is forming, one which is concealed behind false narratives of artificial intelligence being fully separated from human labour. It is not.

A "ghost economy" is growing, and will continue to grow.

It is unfortunate that we are settling to "attempt" to limit global warming to 2c above pre-industrial levels.

It's unfortunate because it is not a fix, and because we are not doing enough. It will get worse.

4 years, 117 days, 3 hours, 57 minutes.

What is it about black metal that attracts Nazis?

How did NSBM come to exist?

How do non-Nazis in the black metal scene see these bands?

I found a journal which mentions the Nazi problem in the extreme metal scene. I might research if time allows some day.

I encountered Naomi Klein's works on a sociology module I did at undergrad. Naomi Wolf I unfortunately encountered more recently on Twitter.

JUST found out that people mistake the two, and that Klein wrote a book about it.

Well... more about conspiracy theories.

Might have to give it a read...

Refaat Alareer was a Palestinian writer, poet, professor, and activist who wrote If I Must Die before his death in Gaza on the 6th December 2023.

He was killed by an Israeli airstrike.

I have garnered an interest in psychiatry and neuroscience...

More exactly, the concept of Bibliotherapy and how figures such as Freud used quite literary techniques for psychoanalysis...

Books and narratives have so many unique uses!
