The number of people who say they hate celery, but when you ask “how have you tried it?” reply “raw. In chunks. Maybe dipped into something.” Like, for fucks sake, how do you feel about chicken?

Every messaging service being always-online, every app having DMs, and smartphones in genral have cultivated a culture where younger people expect texts to be answered instantly. On top of Fucking Sucking Ass it leads to constant feelings of social rejection when people are just like, busy

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

'Biology is a soft science' remains one of the funniest things people who fail out of a physics major say. Go take a biology class bro.

In a store, there’s a song on saying “It’s ok not to be ok” and. Like, on the one hand it’s good to make people comfortable seeking help and acknowledging their mental health problems and not demonising them. On the other, we’re in a mental health crisis and it has causes

I would like to propose the Treating David Seymour With Kindness and Respect bill. It legalises kicking David Seymour in the balls. If you oppose it you don’t respect David Seymour

I do think about the statistic that Wellington has the highest proportion of queer people in the country, and the way the government is attacking Wellington, and wonder if there’s a connection. I think it’s clear that this isn’t the main reason, but maybe it’s playing a part

Really the fundamental problem is that "guy who decides if you get to transition or not" is a job that shouldn't exist. Every other issue in trans care is downstream from that.

This shit is why I'm not really a fan of the blocklist functionality here. It's very to weaponise, and if there's one thing the 4chan-type internet dickheads are good at its exploiting things like this. Be very careful about what blocklists you adopt.

I once got into an argument with coworkers applying for an endeavour, which was basically “the research you’re proposing is racist” “ok, but money!” “what about Vision Mātauranga?” “oh shit I guess we have to change” So I am personally 100% confident in one of the major consequences

NB on the Marsden vandalism: I understand the TPU are going full culture-war over it, specifically targeting Māori and Pasifika researchers and declaring it a victory for 'science'. To which I would say, actual scientists understand this is a huge blow to the whole research sector.

I do think that the attacks on social sciences are part of a divide and conquer strategy tbh. I hope this doesn’t become another stem vs arts and humanities thing. The real enemy is neoliberalism. And also the current government, fuck those guys

If I really wanted to fuck up the economy for decades into the future, I’d probably siphon money from education, healthcare, infrastructure, and research into tax cuts for landlords, aggravate racial tensions, wreck the environment, and enter a military alliance against our largest trading partner

JuCo saying that “real impact on our economy will come from areas such as physics” as if it’s viable to get a career as a physicist in NZ. The Marsden announcement is stupid bullshit. I’m of the opinion that this is retaliation against social scientists for rightly criticising the government

1. In a major development, the first national consensus guidelines for trans youth have been released in France. They recommend affirmation and medical care, denounce "wait and see." They refute much of the Cass Review. Subscribe to support my journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/new-french...
