When challenging someone's perspective stop and ask yourself these questions...

1) What do I understand about the others perspective?
2) What do I understand about my own perspective?
3) Could I be wrong?
4) What do I want the other to understand about my perspective?
5) What do I want the other to understand about their own perspective?

If you find yourself skipping the first three, you're not really trying to have a discussion and may want to check your ego.

Hey Mastodon...

This is just a friendly reminder that if you see any type of bullying, harassment, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, or casteism, REPORT THAT SHIT AND BLOCK THEM!

If you see any incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies, REPORT THAT SHIT AND BLOCK THEM!

If you see any dog-piling or doxxing of other users, REPORT THAT SHIT AND BLOCK THEM!

Do NOT tolerate anything above. EVER.

Let's keep Mastodon safe for EVERYONE.

Rosalind Franklin’s research was crucial to discovering DNA’s double helix structure 🧬 but it was James Watson & Francis Crick who received the credit & Nobel Prize.

Unknown to Franklin, the pair saw her unpublished data & X-ray diffraction images, inspiring their model. They never acknowledged her contribution until after her death.

How many discoveries & innovations of #women do we attribute to the men who took credit for their ideas?

Linear time is a convenient illusion.
