@josephcox This also affects science - when you visit the website of the journal "Nature", sources like Bidswitch and Pubmatic are installed. So researchers are in the view of this shady company and its customers.
Theres an LaTimes think piece about how bosses are unhappy that the people they forced back into offices no longer have the office etiquette that they had pre-covid and are forcing employees to take “charm school” classes.
Cry harder, you fucking babies. You asked for this. Fuck your conversion therapy.
@TiciaVerveer This is a fascinating paper, thanks for posting!
"dolia were no ordinary class of pottery, but highly specialised vessels whose size, shape, materiality & buried setting all contributed decisively to the nature and quality of ancient wines" #Roman#winemaking#ceramics@histodons
Hi, I'm Laura and I study #pollen, reconstructing prehistoric #landscapes, using #FTIR#microspectroscopy to identify grass pollen and also enjoy using different coding languages such as #R and #Python ^.^
My hobbies include #DJ ing, watching #anime and collecting #Pokemon cards (thrilling I know). Very happy to be here :3
"I guess everybody felt like if they did the work and enough people did the work for personal development that somehow that would create a massive shift and everybody all at once would experience collective leap in consciousness. This lie, this neoliberal lie of moving towards collectivism through startling individualism and navel gazing has just blown me away. And I feel like that took over the entire decolonial movement. I feel like it's in every every activist movement." Tyson Yunkaporta
The isolation of #MECFS has gotten bad enough that I signed up for an online group thingy that includes Zoom calls. And now my #autism and social anxiety are making me dread each minute as I watch the clock tick closer to the call time. Gahhhhhhhhhhh.

Podcast, because it distracts me into getting interested in something. Art, because it's a whole different mode of being. Sensory pleasure, because it's nice and life can be nice. @actuallyautistic@mecfs
@independentpen@actuallyautistic@mecfs I love that trio. I’ve gotten into art journaling recently and I’m enjoying just drawing lines (sorta like zen tangle), it’s so soothing. My weighted blanket helps, but I think something with a great texture would be a good addition. Thank you for sharing what works for you and also for helping me brainstorm!
I also have arthritis learned recently that pain tolerance can lower while in burnout. Doesn’t that make arthritis a cycle of burnout? Or I mean cyclical.
And, as an aside, we could really use histories of First Nations and taxation in Canada. I'd rather not have to write one myself but would be more than happy to share the thing or two I know on the subject. @histodons
