Just so you’re aware, if you wear glasses, that’s a mobility aid and you’re disabled. Glasses are just so normalized that most people don’t see it as such. Imagine if most mobility aids were that way. Imagine how much more respect disabled people would get. It’s completely possible.

I tried out a new framework for teaching p-hacking to first- and second-year undergrads this year and it seems to have worked really well in case anyone else wants to steal it.

The comparison between HUAC and today is chilling. But there are some great lessons from history on how to fight back — including the power of humor and the importance of solidarity. Thanks for writing this @noupside.bsky.social

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social’s campaign team, would you like Gen Z votes in key battleground ridings? They want to be able to monetize and supplement their income with a 🇨🇦 TikTok creator fund. It’s important to them. They will leave the house and actually vote 🗳️, promise. #cdnpoli

85 years ago, Charlie Chaplin delivered his famous speech at the end of his first film with dialogue - The Great Dictator. He spoke these timeless words as Nazis rose to power, and the drums of war beat in Europe, echoing across the world. As relevant, and necessary to hear, today as ever #Resist

So, surprise, surprise, it turns out that the USA isn’t as open to sharing technology under #AUKUS as Defence Minister Richard Marles has claimed. Another reason why we need a no-holds-barred Senate inquiry to lift the lid off this radioactive can of worms. #auspol

This doesn't surprise me. Sociological research shows that discounting of girls' competence and commitment--and celebration of (especially White) boys' brilliance--starts in K-12 schools and ramps up in college/grad school. Girls see how they're treated and reasonably assume it won't get better.

Fort Denison, aka Pinchgut, was built in Sydney Harbour as a defensive base during the Crimean War (1854-56) due to fears of a possible Russian naval attack. To date, Fort Denison has held & Australia has repelled the Russian invasion. #auspol #ausvotes It's true: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_De...

German railway workers who objected to, or refused to work, the trains carrying people to camps were redeployed elsewhere. Did the trains keep going? Yes. Because others WERE prepared to do it, sadly. But at least the objectors tried and refused to cross that line themselves.
