As far as I know, most #sociology journals don’t have a fediverse presence, but do have RSS article feeds. Would accounts that mirror those feeds be something folks would follow or is RSS/email already filling the need?
Also, I understand there is a #LawFedi account that follows a very large set of folks in the #law community and re-posts popular/trending material. (If you know what it is - I’d appreciate a pointer). Looking at that account might be a good way to catch up. Would that be interesting for social science?
Today is the 20th anniversary of my attending my very first science fiction convention: Torcon 3 in Toronto. Some memories of that convention, and thoughts on how the world of conventions has changed since then, are up on Whatever today:
@CherylMorgan@scalzi My first convention was a Yorkon in Leeds in '83 or '84. Other folks I bumped into there: Roz Kaveney, @neilhimself , and PTerry—all of us young and incredibly obscure!
I'm building a small list of resources for neurodivergent students for my big 1st year undergrad course. What would you recommend that a first year undergrad, who lives with OCD, ASD, ADHD and/or anything else, should read, watch or join.

#Landschap | Voor op de verlanglijst, Dutch Landscape: https://www.nai010.com/nl/publicaties/dutch-landscape/246104 💧Het landschap van NL is vooral een project, een work in progress, dat voortdurend aanpassing en onderhoud vraagt – al is het maar omdat het anders onder water loopt
'Concerns about the decline of X as a source of reliable information extends beyond the scientific and academic communities. During the apparent coup attempt in Russia in June, journalists noticed its relative uselessness at helping them find real-time, breaking information from the ground and sifting fact from fakery, due in part to Musk’s trashing of its account verification system.'
It's #InternationalBatNight this weekend! The #BatNight has taken place every year since 1997 in more than 30 countries in Africa and Europe on the last full weekend of August. 🦇 #Bats rarely feature in #GreekMythology but they appear in #Aesop's fables as a creature of dual nature, neither bird nor mouse. As an animal blurring the lines, it fits well with #Dionysos, a god who blurs the lines not between mouse and bird but between male and female.
The story of #Dionysos and the Minyades appears in Plutarch's Greek Questions 38 and in the Metamorphoses of both Ovid and Antoninus Liberalis. The daughters of Minyas, Leukippe, Arsippe and Alkathoe were startlingly diligent. They strongly criticised other women for abandoning the city to roam the hills as Bacchantes. Dionysos took on the likeness of a girl and urged the Minyades not to miss out on the rites and mysteries of the god. But they paid him no heed.
#Dionysos was angered and turned into a bull, then a lion, then a leopard. From the beams of their looms there flowed for him milk and nectar. Gripped by terror, the maidens threw lots determining that Leukippe had to offer her son as a sacrifice to the god. They tore him to pieces and went into the mountains as Bacchantes until #Hermes (or Dionysos himself) changed them into #bats.
Discussion around sound & light w/ other ND people sounded like this today.
I have a I can't hear you, the other sound is too distracting, or my body temp or something is too distracting. Light has to be really bright, more often outside, to disrupt. Wind? 🍃 Ugh!
If it's sunlight that's really bright when I'm distressed it can stop me in my tracks.. all sensory stimulation seems to go up & down in impact according to my level of emotional regulation. Sound is So powerful for my state(s).

When it comes to software and apps, it's important to find the one that best suits your needs. The best software and apps can help improve productivity, streamline processes, and simplify complex tasks. But with so many options to choose from, how do you know which is right for you?
At one end of the spectrum, you have big-name software like Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop. These are robust tools that offer a full suite of features and require advanced knowledge or training to use them to their fullest potential.
On the other end, you have more specialized tools that are designed to simplify a specific task or process. These typically don't require advanced expertise and are generally easy to use. In the middle, there's a mix of both. Some tools are best for simple tasks, while others might be better for more complex tasks.
When it comes to choosing the best software and apps, it's important to look for features that will simplify your workflow instead of complicating it. Look for tools that are easy to use and understand, and that can integrate with other tools you're already using. Pay attention to customer reviews as well. These can give you valuable insight into how the software or app performs in real world scenarios.
