Statisticians: We really need to move past the cult of p < 0.05. Science is about nuance, not just arbitrary thresholds!
Also Statisticians (reading a qualitative study): Wait, n=12? This isn't science, it’s an anecdote. Where is the power analysis??

Back in grad school we hosted a dinner party that had a dress theme of Judy Chicago’s the Dinner Party.
The 39 beautifully embroidered place settings in Judy Chicago's 1979 installation 'The Dinner Party' are symbolic of elevating women's talents, honouring women's history & to highlight women's collaboration as many embroiderers worked together to creative this aspect of the work #WomensArt

This year I want to learn to cook beyond “I put something in the air fryer”. I want to start from simple dishes beyond that. The Culinary Institute of America has a set of videos titled “Cooking Basics: What Everyone Should Know” and one of the earliest videos is “How to Poach an Octopus“ 😳

Husband walks in and ten seconds after looking at the screen asks “are you watching Béla Tarr” even though he had not seen the movie. Got to say goodbye to the master of long shots by watching the Turin Horse. RIP 🖤🤍

Movie theaters not having intermissions in this country was one of my early culture shocks.
every seat in a movie theater should have an "I have to pee" button and if enough people press it they should be able to pause the movie

A question for those who teach in #highered. What is your institution's late registration policy. We are on a 10 week instruction plus 1 week final schedule and students can register 2 weeks late. They try to catch up with 20% of instruction basically. Is this the norm or approximately?
