"As a woman with #autism, Kate will talk about the gender discrepancy in autism diagnoses. Women and girls often display completely different behaviors than what #neurotypical people have been taught to associate with autism, which affects when and how (and if) they are diagnosed. Autism being diagnosed at a younger age leads to a higher chance of that child receiving evidence-based treatment, which can help with better life outcomes. This discrepancy is why Kate wants to encourage more research be done on symptoms of autism in women and girls so that they can be more easily and accurately diagnosed in the future." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tbes1mm2VgM&ab_channel=TEDxTalks
Das Interesse der Neuen Rechten an Romanen unterliegt einer metapolitischen Strategie. Sie nutzen Literatur, um den kulturellen Diskurs zu verschieben. https://taz.de/!6019114
Here's a periodic reminder that I'm selling a huge chunk of my book collection cause I'm moving and have a growing family and OMG help.
Lots of SF/F, a little H, some quirky bits and bobbles and literary stuffs, unique non-fiction (academic and beyond), and even some DVDs, comics, and graphic novels.
Please share with anyone you know who loves them some books. I've got...less than a month to find homes for as much as possible!!! #books
Lord Byron, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, Percy Bysshe Shelley & John Polidori, who have gathered at the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva in a rainy Switzerland in this 'Year Without a Summer', tell each other tales. This spawns two classic Gothic narratives, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Polidori's The Vampyre. Byron also writes the poem Darkness.
Come to see a first edition in paper publisher bindings at the exhibition 'Her booke' Early Modern Women and their Books @ #LambethPalaceLibrary in London, UK
A plurality of contentiously incompatible but independent moderation "spaces" ... is the only way in which the internet is good at digesting substantial and contentious topics.
conversations on the internet generally suck.
On any contentious front, strong moderation can run the risk of "echo chambers".
For those willing to survey multiple "bubbles", an interconnected plurality provides a de facto dialectics.

Probably not original at all. But I suspect there's something to framing it around "improving the quality of internet discourse" through the emergent dynamics of a federation ... especially in comparison to monolithic big-social.
It also repositions the internet as a broader resource to be used effectively.
And instills independent and contentiously incompatible instances along with widely connected federation as desirable positives for social media and the internet in general.

A tricky part here is that the community still needs to be followed at least once on your instance for the content to come through. I think
So if a community isn't coming through, I'd recommend these steps:
Search for the community and follow it like any other user.
Add it to a specific/bespoke list, then remove that list from home (a setting available on each list). This removes "the firehose" from your home feed.
Follow the corresponding tag as you would any other
Science publishing is central to the whole scientific endeavour, and should be governed in ways that avoid the pathologies described above. The current system poses risks to the credibility and integrity of the scientific endeavour, a crucially important issue when the proper functioning of science is so central to the whole range of human concerns. It is for these reasons that it is imperative to set acceptable standards for publishing, to identify and highlight anti-competitive activities by publishers, and to facilitate coordinated responses by institutions globally when they negotiate contracts with publishers
