Horrifying and eye-opening paper of the day: "Wait, There’s Torture in Zootopia? Examining the Prevalence of Torture in Popular Movies"

- in which the authors find that 60% of the 20 top-grossing films each year over a 10 year span (2008-2017; N=200) depict torture, including 45% of PG and 65% of PG-13 rated films; and that instrumental torture (torture used to obtain a specific outcome other than punishment) was depicted as effective 73% of the time.

#Seattle and surrounding towns:
Please fill out this #SoundTransit survey. It took me about three minutes, even including dealing with the phone-unfriendly format.

It's a little maddening that a survey like this might be very important but that's how this goes.

Please boost and share to your #transit riding folk.

Good people of Fedi, I have a web design and accessibility question for you.

Do you have any recommendations as to how to make audio tracks on web accessible with a transcript?

I figure I can roll my own with what feels right, but best practice recommendations are very much welcomed.

Why is Zionism connected to everything?

Before I had my pay-whatever-you-can law practice, I was a legal director at a free legal aid clinic. The part of the job I loved was the free lawyering for people. The part of the job I hated was the fundraising. Naturally, I had to do that part a lot.
