@awnaves It's an awesome resource for finding academic research. I use it all the time.

If anyone would like to read my work, I added a link to my Google Scholar page in my bio.

The worst common marketing strategy I see from indie creators, aside from just not doing it, is to frame their pitches like "I made something. Buy it. This is stupid. No one will see this anyway."

It's shocking how many people don't even bother describing what they made.

Not only does this not work, it also discourages self-respecting people from taking the creator seriously.

Never ever publicly share extremist #propaganda just to show how dumb it is or laugh at it.

Propagandizing while rolling your eyes is still propagandizing.

If you want to pursue a research career on a topic that is inherently threatening or painful, it's very important to make time for pleasure and hobbies.

I like to take time to discover music. It helps keep my mind healthy and it's really easy these days.

If that seems like an indulgence, I assure you that burnout is several orders of magnitude more costly and wasteful.

A lot of folks who embrace #whitesupremacy also venerate survivalism. Survivalism is practiced the world over by folks of every creed and color though, so why do so many WS go nuts for it?

Some reasons are:

1) Many WS myths concern the apocalypse or collapse of society; both averting it and bringing it about.
2) They consider it a sign of traditional masculinity
3) Strong tendency to revere and escape into a golden past that never existed
4) To practice killing and killing-related skills

I am extremely pro-mental healthcare. I wouldn't trust any company selling AI therapy. I am suspicious of anyone who would suggest using an AI for that purpose.

Private prisons should be illegal.

#DeSantis is blocking transgender people's access to hormones. Adults as well as minors.

This is going to force transgender people on HRT to detransition, which has serious medical consequences.

Sudden cessation of HRT can result in conditions including, but not limited to, menopause, increased heart rate, increased risk of heart disease and stroke, mood swings, and insomnia. For months. That's not even touching the accompanying social problems and personal trauma.

This is torture. #politics
