#AskingAutistics (if you are not autistic please don’t comment, read and learn. Yes, I’m fed up to read allistic comments in thread asking input from autistics. And don’t waste your time and mine by trying to argue with me about that I will simply block you)
Why did you choose to identify yourself as #autistic, #Asperger, being on the spectrum, etc. ? Usually from what I read it’s a generational word and/or a cultural one as our #ActuallyAutistic is international and this is too often forgotten
Oh wow. It was absolutely stunning! An incredible translation of the novel, with so many extra elements which couldn’t have worked in any other medium except live #theatre.
If you have a chance to see it wherever it’s playing next, don’t miss it; it’s a hell of a show!
As we all hopefully know, everything @neilhimself touches turns to magic, like a less cursed King Midas!

<p>The relationship between reward value and cognitive performance is often thought to be curvilinear, shaped like an inverted U. Moderately valuable rewards should facilitate, but extremely valuable rewards should harm, performance. Despite the popularity of this idea, the dose–response relationship between reward value and cognitive performance is not yet well understood. Here, we present a set of experiments (total <em>N</em> = 254) that examine the effects of monetary reward (no reward, medium reward, extreme reward) on task-switching performance. Overall, more valuable rewards led to better performance. Yet, when physical reward cues were present (i.e., when the money at stake was placed on the table), we observed the predicted inverted U-shaped relationship. Together, our results suggest that (a) people are often able to maintain good cognitive performance when the stakes are high and that (b) physical reward cues may play a key role in triggering “choking under pressure.” (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)</p>

Since I am planning to delete my Twitter account soon, I am slowly deleting every post I made manually, so I can see what I posted (I also do not trust that they will delete the posts if I delete the account). A large portion of my replies are congratulating people on things like their newly published paper, graduating, getting a grant, etc. These kind of posts are what I miss about Twitter, and I hope more people come and post their successes on Mastodon. #AcademicChatter
@DrEvanGowan
What do you think is the best way to encourage more academics to switch?
I don't know the answer, nor do I think people should be actively persuaded. Maybe just creating an inviting alternative environment on Mastodon is enough, but the risk there is you never reach a network effect / gravitational pull. #academicchatter#mastodon#twitter @yetiinabox@academicchatter
Live tooting from conferences, celebrating publications, circulating calls, putting out the word on jobs...all the stuff we used to do over there! And also, the more difficult bits - calling out abusive profs happened in significant part on Twitter, as did the formation of alternative informal networks.

If you're craving a zen-like experience to satisfy your cleaning OCD, get this one @steam
@CheekyYoghurts Yeah, but any consistent streamers on there that you prefer? Every game I have to sift through the various ones that were posted. Years ago I used only Dubzstreams but he sucks now
No, sorry. I only use it once a week or so to watch a match. I usually just choose a stream and if that fails at some point I just another in the list.
