Fantastic paper, brings together the literature on auditory disabilities and micro-sociology in a way that really chimes with my own experiences.

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

Mini photo dump from a recent trip to Dungeness, including Derek Jarman's Prospect cottage. Definitely one of the eeriest places I've ever been, occupying a liminal space somewhere between land and sea.

Are you interested in social class? I've two working papers which show:
1️⃣ Using actor recordings of different accents, that people derive class from accent and this causally influences trait evaluations
2️⃣ That class-based descriptive representation improves support for the political system.

Incredible Izzy has just passed the first stage of her hearing dog training - the Puppy 1 Star ⭐
Izzy has been working on her basic cues such as 'sit' and 'wait', and has also been encouraged to investigate lots of new sights, sounds and smells.
Congratulations 'Team Izzy' 🐾🎉
