O desconhecimento é parceiro da má fé. Quando se fala da privatização da RTP, ninguém diz que são 19 serviços de televisão, rádio e streaming, único meio de difusão onde intérpretes de música clássica podem ser ouvidos, onde passam séries excelentes que nenhuma privada exibe, etc.

É incrível ver a variedade de maneiras que aqueles que rejeitam o tema da identidade de género na disciplicina de Cidadania arranjam para não assumirem a sua transfobia.

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

A Place of Joy.

New paper forthcoming in the AJL. It explores how a form of hermeneutical injustice faced by trans people can be perspicuously characterized using the framework of questions under discussion and FDE worlds.
You can find it here:

Francisca Silva, Being a woman and wanting to be a woman: an application of subject matters, questions and FDE - PhilPapers
I provide a new way of thinking of questions using an expanded space of FDE worlds. This allows both for non-exclusive and non-exhaustive answers to questions concerning one’s gender identity. Further...
