One of my all-time favorite articles is by @anildash. I just looked up the link to send to a friend, so I'm sharing it here, too.
If you care about diversity, inclusion, representation, dismantling the myth of meritocracy, and/or counterprogramming dominant cultural narratives around success, do yourself a favor and give it a quick read regardless of what field you're in. (It's very short!)
I read a lot of scifi as a kid and I swear I thought that if I ever found myself living through a dystopian apocalypse, it would come with a cooler catch phrase than "stay hydrated."
God help me, I'm going to try asking a question on Mastodon. I only need answers to this specific question, no advice, no lectures, no what ifs, no mansplaining, please.
I'm medically vulnerable & live in pandemic isolation. I'm also short & have high ceilings. I need to change smoke detector batteries, I can't reach them (even on a ladder).
Can anyone recommend a tool for removing/reattaching smoke detectors on high ceilings? Ideally something you've used yourself.
Some people seem confused in my replies. The missing piece here, at least one, is "kyriarchy", or relative and overlapping hierarchies of social power: people with relative situational social privilege generally have no idea what the online safety issues are for more or differently marginalized people.
If you don't understand the choices someone else is making in regards to their online safety, don't mess with those choices. It's easy.
I am watching #KaalaPaani on #Netflix and there are a lot of things I like about it but right now I want to shoutout the sound design which is stellar.
The show seems to take place in a self-contained storyworld where Covid hasn't happened but the show is very much a pandemic-influenced production and takes a some sharp little jabs (as it were) at Covid-19.
Correction: the #KaalaPaani takes place in a world where covid happened, but the story is set in 2027.
Teachers, if you are looking for resources to talk with students about genocide within a safe, compassionate framework, my friends a Journeys in Film can help.
"USC research showed that people born during or just after the 1918 flu pandemic faced increased heart disease risk more than 60 years later. The legacy of the novel coronavirus could be worse."
