It took over 4 years, but the paper is finally published. In this study, we developed novel methods drawn from #LegalEpidemiology to map addiction #stigma in California law.

"Polarisation" has become one of those terms commonly used to discuss the dire state of politics and democracy today

There are more disabled people who are pretending to be healthy so that you don’t judge us or think us incapable than there are healthy people pretending to be disabled. If you find yourself questioning whether someone is really disabled, you’re doing the work of the oppressor. #disability

The #ManufactureOfDoubt is an historical script that regulated industries use in pursuing their political and economic goals. Many of the issues noted by the editor are known techniques deployed in #agnotology.

I wrote about a lot of this in my book; also see work of @drtomori.bsky.social

TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

Yeah my Kid felt the same way. Zhe said the episodes were just too long.

Yes. At risk of the most shameless of self-promotion, I’ve literally been writing about it for years. E.g.:

Do I have to start watching Stranger Things now? I’ve never seen an episode.

If it helps I think you’d make a fine abbess 😂

Love her! I took a medieval studies class in college which was incredible and we read some of her stuff

It’s Hanukkah miracle that the thing released from the pan 😂

Struggling to understand why anyone would choose not a make brownies! (I’m on record as finding them to be a highly underrated confection and a true USian contribution to confectionery!)

I love Komodo dragons!! They are incredible. I saw one at the National Zoo and was pleased about it for days 😂
