@dryan149.bsky.social and I have published a paper on how we should all be a little less like Holden Caufield (i.e. obsessed with the idea of authenticity) and a bit more like María Lugones (i.e. celebrating our multiple facets)
🚨New Paper!🚨

We think that everything would be better if we all just got over the idea of true selves and were cooler with the fact that we all contain multitudes.

Super excited to see the release of this short film by Caitlin Bailey, a wildlife cinematographer who works with the Global Foundation for Oceanic Exploration. She reached out because she wanted to discuss empathy for deep-sea animals that don't have faces.

This book by @madva.bsky.social, @dryan149.bsky.social and @michaelbrownstein.bsky.social magically appeases both my worried, Skeptical Academic Self, and my much more hopeful and admittedly atrophied Organizer Self. Go buy it!
In "Somebody Should Do Something," @michaelbrownstein.bsky.social, Alex @madva.bsky.social, & Daniel Kelly (@dryan149.bsky.social) combine compelling stories with science to show how personal choices, when linked with collective action, can drive structural change: mitpress.mit.edu/978026204978...
