🤔 feedback today re time doing higher duties - we mused that I might be seen as 'too soft'. The feedback giver realised they meant, 'not enough like a man', & so we agreed that might not be something I want to correct for :)
Later in the day, I had a very difficult convo, & I had my #TOTD: I can only ever be myself, I may as well embrace that, & get comfy.
That's the work, isn't it? Difficult, & simple as it is.
@kcarruthers it's a good read, and about time a study was done into it!
re non cishet relationships - there's definitely research that the division of labour is much more equal - stands to reason the dynamics would be different too!
Erik Olin Wright on #PostCapitalism: 'global warming is likely to spell the end of neoliberalism as a specific form of capitalism'
:)
always love to see any idea we could see the back of #neoliberalism

Reading Martha #Nussbaum today, having a renewed appreciation for her incredible mind and the diversity of her writing.
(trying to reconnect in my head the nuances in her #Capabilities approach vs #Sen)
I love how she's not afraid to question everything.
(here's her wikipedia if interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Nussbaum)

Re-watching #Persuasion - so dryly written:
"And I say this with love, abandon all hope" - Lady Russell
Which Anne utterly ignores, "hope springs eternal"
Devastingly biting comedy - hilarious and tragic. Yep, I'm a sucker for it, particularly on a Sunday, when embroidering and TV watching are far more appealing than my overdue paper 🙃
idk if it is just me, or if it is an #actuallyautistic thing, but there are pieces of #music that I'd swear are the sound my brain makes. Here's my latest on repeat: https://youtu.be/xSXzw1XiDVw?t=120

@nino you work hard for it!
When/if I ever finish my PhD, I'm definitely putting it everywhere, but that's just so I never have to qualify ever again if I am a Ms or Mrs....prob not a thing for anyone not having to clarify their marital status what feels like every 5 seconds
Help! twitter was great for learning from & connecting to, everyone. Topic wise, it gave me access to people & conversations about #HCD, #design, #ethno, #anthro, #science (s- all of them!), #gov, being #ND, #art, #philosophy, #feminism, & #writing.
Which server do I choose where I don't only hear from people the same as me?
@1jh @timoreilly I've *hated* how those very spots where open should be a default (regulation as code for example), we're stuck talking about proprietary instances rather than open. Frustrating.
@bethan @cydharrell oooh some favs in these lists! Enjoy!
